That drawing of pole dance in the end was awesome.
XD
Well if the Earth really is just a slow pole dancer, I hope the Moon likes it
That's why it is revolving around us.
hhahha.,now i understand
bewarb
what i have learned from this video is that, basically.. the earth is doing the most boring, slow pole dance around the Russian flag..
In Sovjet Russia, the north pole comes to explore you
I love how even you couldn't stop yourself from laughing at the pole dance joke
i know its funny is it?
Hahahaha ! I was about to post the same comment xD
I loved the drawing so much I had to make a screenshot of it
miley cyrus
Danny Jaber who cares
Lol "Biggest slowest pole dance ever. Around the Russian flag."
The way you present the physics in your videos is excellent
always interesting to watch your videos!
I want to see the full version of the map at 2:41!
Best. Ending. Ever.
So beautifully presented!
Anyone else in on a MinutePhysics watching streak?

"the biggest,slowest pole dance ever around the russian flag" im crying omg
Santa Claus must be tired of moving all the time!
I wonder how he deals with flooding, surely living atop an ocean would result in SOME flooding
-_- its frozen...let it go..just let it go
That ending! Haha love these videos
Thought you'd go into how the north and south poles switch occasionally due to a switch in the movement of the tectonic plates and thus reversing the flow of all the iron and all that inside earthly goodness. Either way amazing video :D
None of this answers the most important question of all... where does Santa live?
Canada (He is a citizen)
ffs!!! santa doesnt exist -_-
If Santa Clause lives on the north pole all year long, then he needs a boat because he can drown in June or whenever the heat melts the ice up there.
Earth trolls Russians.
I live in Russia and my country should invent transportaliser flags under water
The music is amazing!
Fantastic explanation!
Everyone gets a bit grumbly when Russia plants a flag on the North (Geographic) Pole (as of August 2007), meanwhile the US has got a flag on the moon, its name and President on the Golden Disc for aliens to hear and all the spacecraft launched by NASA. How do you think the poor Brits at ESA feel. God.
Well, only America got mad. AND it is AMERICA. You've gotta lower your expectations here a bit, we'll-they'll flip out at the slightest provocation.
+FinzillaPVG There's also the Outer Space Treaty signed in 1967, which forbids national claims to any part of space or any object in space. The US flags on the moon cannot be used as a basis to stake any kind of claim for economic exploitation. There's no similar treaty for the Arctic.
+megarockman There is in the Antarctic though.
True - the Outer Space Treaty was based off of the Antarctic Treaty.
megarockman I hope those are removed at some point otherwise we're stuck here.
then where does Santa live? :/
+Mr. tornado In Canada.
In Finland.
+Mr. tornado The south pole! (a.k.a the Magnetic North Pole)

North Pole Alaska, USA
This was an AWESOME presentation 😍😍😍🙆🙆🙆🤧🤧😱😱😍😍🙋🙋🙋🙇🙇🙆🙆💆👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤞🤜
2:44 is me trying to draw a perfect circle.
at north pole every direction is south ........ ha ha
*north
doesntmakeanysence2u it's south i believe, because you will be at the north
tatuhey But as he said in the video many times, the North Pole is actually a magnetic south pole. If you didn't know, that's because with magnets, opposites attract (south attracts north). So the North needle on a compass is attracted (points to) the south pole, but we call it North.
have you ever heard "lies that is told many times will be the truth"? although its not a lie, but these magnectic poles are known by the opposite names, therefore i am not wrong
ok well ... then I think it is just matter of understanding..
Pole dance?!?!?! That's a good one!!! XDXDXD
I like your finishing thoughts of your videos :D
You never cease to amaze me and blow my mind
We've failed. The earth has fallen to the Russians.
Actually we've won
the north pole has fallen to the Russians(2007), but the moon has fallen to the Americans(1969), and the south pole has fallen to the Norwegians(1911).
ah... the Equator has fallen to Ecuador... and Mars has fallen to March. aand Uranus has fallen to your butthole.
Of course it's a Russian pole the north pole is dancing around. Why would it be anybody else?
Hey, I love your videos, making me much more intelligible, and I was hoping you could explain antimatter.
I always click on the advertisements on this guy's videos so that I do my part in helping him have funds funds for the amazing videos he makes. Love you Henry and your videos. :)
What if the earth rotated around its axis once in day instead of once a year.
It Does
m9 Lool No I meant the tilt. Guess I did word that weird, can you blame me. They are literally have the same name. I think correct me if I'm wrong.
Canada is the True North Strong and Free!
whoo Canada the most unpatriotic country I love you Canada
Unpatriotic? hahahahahahahaha
sabhierules1 you should hear the national athens we play at school on is bollywood meets country
what does that have to do with anything?
Canada hides above the USA which is why we never hear from them.
Very informative I didn't know much of this
I like the animations. Sometimes a visual explanation makes something easier to understand.
If the two polls meet, It will cause a Harmonic Convergence.
What would happen if you bring a compass to the South Pole since all directions point north?
It will spin wildly around. That's why you don't use a compass near poles
gameaddict51 Bad compasses is probably the reason why both icebears and penguins never were able to advance to intercontinental travel. Both species never left their area. It happened two times on opposite sides of the planet. The theory is proven.
+Simgen x Probably one of those Chinese knock-off compasses.
Jokes aside that is an interesting theory.
Let me remember my time in the flight school. If you are flying above the north pole, your compass will point downwards. So if you flew above the southpole, your compass would spin, 'cause it points to the northern direction which is everywhere.
minutephysics, please make a video about superconductivity, its amazing!
actually that is the magnetic north pole since the compass direction gets it's name from the region it points toward, not the other way around. it would be more accurate to say that the compass needle is a magnetic south thats been painted red and labeled north.
This is where the statement "everything is relevant" belongs. North and South are just titles. They function exactly the same whatever they are labeled as.
That's hilarious! A pole dance around the Russian flag. Props to the Russians tho for planting it back in 2007
I can't believe it was in 2007 the Russians put there flag there, I could've sworn it was last year 0_o

Great Video!
That ending was amazing.
Russia makes the world dance

You want some vodka blyat?
Конечно надо сказать какую нибудь гадость о России
They don't forget to say something bad about Russia

Great story! Can your next video explain hydronic fracking?
What happened to the Universe Series? I really enjoyed that!
Russia should capitalize on that joke.
except the earth is flat
If you haven't looked into it, do not make assumptions, because you have no idea what you're talking about.
Then stop asking me to waste my time on you. Go get your info from NASA or who ever the hell you believe. I don't care. I prefer to know what is true, not what a group of sun worshipping Jesuits decided to tell the world 500 yrs ago...oh and Galileo became a Christian 3 years before he died and recanted all his heliocentric teachings saying he was wrong. Maybe you should open your eyes once in a while, and do what is known as research.
space don't exist.
+Recycled Music *cough* gravity *cough*
No, no it's not.
I want more episodes!
That makes sense now. Thanks!
Love that pic of glatzmeyer's model of the self reversing dynamo! UCSC doing big things!
Can you do a video about your thoughts on the alcubierre drive? "warp drive"
Please and thank you
i love when Henry explains stuff to me
Love the last words you said... LOL
Awesome video! Just one thing: You label the magnetic field as a dipole field, does this imply that there can be monopole fields?
The joke you made of the earth being a slow poledancer got me crackin xD
Do a video on perpetual motion minute physics!
that was really good ... got to learn something extra (Y)
This is amazig :D thanks
hey Henry, how do you get yourself going on a swing without pushing off the ground? how do you generate the force to move while still a part of the system?
Gotta love that ending :D
Damn....all those years of wrong perception i had.
Thanks minutephysics for clearing the doubt!
Very fascinating. And then I burst out laughing at the very last line!
Don't compass actually point both the north and south poles by aligning with the field? Then, the location of both poles would affect the direction pointed, right? If so, shouldn't compass point to the geomagnetic north pole, wich as I get it, is the net result/average of both poles? Maybe it would point with a stronger bias towards the real location of the magnetic north or south pole the closer you are to one of them?
If you have the cold water on and the pressure is fairly low, then you turn the hot water on and the pressure goes up, but the water is still cold for awhile.
The reason:
Water is almost always in pipes. The hot water in the hot water pipe has cooled over time and become room temp. So, when you turn the hot water valve you open a pipe filled with water, but it's cold. After that water has moved through the pipes it is replaced (obviously) with the water from your water heater.
Yes, undeniable logic there. I would, however, like to to see your sources.
Minutephysics, can you do something on Noether's theorem? Talk about how there's a mathematical connection between time translation invariance and conservation of energy, or gauge invariance and charge. I think it's one of the most beautiful facts about nature, yet it seems like we expect the layperson to have advanced math and QFT knowledge to understand it. Well if anyone can have a layman's discussion about Noether's theorem, it's you.
Nice!!!
Amazing!!! And loved the pole dance.. Ha ha
And it would be nice to explain why it is very likely, because one can figure the strength of the core and what elements would be required to produce it based on known earth volume and pressures using thermodynamics and chemistry,one can build a rational model which one solved for the elements required liquid nickle and iron core is only viable candidates.
So its a very likely:such as relativity or plate tectonics or evolution where the uncertainty is mostly the level of exactness or accuracy.
Yeah I have wondered that too
Top notch, fascinating as hell, maybe scott in the sahara was not so far-fetched after all!
The magnetic compass contains a magnet that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and aligns itself to point to the magnetic poles.[14] Simple compasses of this type show directions in a frame of reference in which the directions of the magnetic poles are due north and south.
All I care about is that the compass gets me North, South, East, or West when I need to go in one of those directions.
The magnetic needle points to neither the magnetic north nor the geomagnetic north, its somewhere in between according to the local geomagnetic field.
Also, the pole can be measured as the semiaxis parallel the vector of the angular speed of the Earth rotating on the Sun orbit. This one would cyclicly change its position during the year!
The biggest challenge is leaving out words like "Action" or "Lagrangian", but trying to explain that it's a purely mathematical concept that somehow gives us insight into physics. Because then we have to say that physics can be described using a mathematical tool called an "Action" and Noether's theorem addresses the Action. It might be safer to just give examples (energy-time translation, momentum-position translation, etc.) and avoid the actual theorem itself.
Worth bearing in mind that a magnetic compass doesn't point directly towards the magnetic north pole. Unlike the way it's stated in the video, the compass just aligns with the field lines which are not perfectly behaved.
Hola amigos espero puedan traducir el video al español, son temas muy interesantes y no me gustaria perderles la pista. Saludos
when are you adding more stuff to minutephysics
I'm sorry I cant figure out how to write an email right now so I have to ask here how the video was called in witch you say that thing with the movement and the relativiti theory
very good
I think it's also noteworthy that scientists have said that the current magnetic field is declining quite rapidly, which could suggest we are coming up to one of these magnetic "reversals" relatively soon.
I am deeply intrested in quantum theory... but have gotten as far as i can get w sources available... where do i go from here? Im a highschool dropout. College would take years n cost to much n not land me a job. ( philosophy, theoretical physics ya, hire me). What books teach me the functions in math w/ out diggin to deep into equations? Where do i go from here? If i started a channel asking questions, instead of teaching, would anyone watch?
Apart from the pole dance statement, I also loved "the north pole's whereabouts depend on what you care about" 😂
I like how everyone is like "what the hell did he just say" and I'm just oh thanks for explaining the concept thoroughly
Burning Question:
Could you please explain why sometimes black holes are described as giant vacuum cleaners in space. It's my understanding that they act just as a star does only "sucking in" objects that collide with it. But when you see depictions of double star systems where one star has become a black hole there's always an accretion disc and a trail of gas from the nearby star as if the black hole really is "sucking in" material
MinutePhysics, I have a question. You know when you pour a liquid out of a pan, pitcher, bowl, cup, or other thing, instead of pouring where you want it to go, it drips down the side and pours down at the bottom of the pan, etc. It's very annoying. Why does it happen, and is there a way to stop this from happening?
HOLY sHIT! I just got a 13 minute ad for go-pro.
Amen to that!
depends on what you mean by wall and standing. If the walls of my bedroom remain labeled "walls" once the gravity is switched, instead of becoming the new "floor", then you certainly would sleep against the walls. But you would not be standing, you would be laying down, just as you sleep normally.
Unless you can sleep standing up against the walls now. Then you could sleep standing against the floor with gravity switched
Just saying, Henry, but you should do more videos like you did back in the good days, like your 'Why is it Dark at Night?' video.
I'm asking would it work. Like, if it instantly switched, would your body recognize it? Also, how would the gravity direction switch affect your body? Would it all be good and fine, or would it throw off your body so much that you could possibly move around your innards and die?
Is there a difference between south and north magnetism? Like, other than being opposite each other? Something that straight up states that the magnetism on the north pole is actually 'south' magnetism, and vice versa? Is there a reason to go on about south versus actual south with magnetism?
magnetic field lines go from north to south
Lucas That in no way answered my question, I'm afraid.
asaeampan Because it's on a relevant video, might incite curiosity in others and incentivise learning and discussion.
That, and I'm a lazy sod.
I wonder if all three of these points will ever meet (the geographic, magnetic and geomagnetic north poles)
Wibbly wobbly magneticy wagneticy?
That was also a disturbing last image.
. is this true? and if so are there any significant implications for ppl and other life? cheers
I keep getting distracted by the great music in the background and I need to keep rewinding the video every 20 seconds to hear what the actual content was about.
So..... does this mean that our compasses have to kinda *average* the pull of of the magnetic south pole (near the geo north) against the pull of the magnetic north pole (near the geo south), which would depend on your position north or south of the equator?
This is the #2 most powerful mind hit since negative water pressure in trees.
Woah.
