- What if the solar system had two suns? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice give a sneak peek into our patron-only Q&As with questions about the three body problem, galaxy formation, the alpha centauri system, and more.
How does the expansion of the universe affect the space between our molecules? Learn about the Big Rip, accretion disks, and galaxy formation. How flat is our galaxy? Why does our universe form so many disks? What would an astronaut floating in space see if there was no matter?
Why are so many alien spacecraft disk-shaped in science fiction? Is there a best shape for a spaceship? Plus, can a moon have its own moon? We discuss the 3 body problem and figure out what a graviton is. What would Neil be doing in a parallel universe where he isn’t an astrophysicist?
Can life get a chance to evolve in a solar system with two suns? Find out about the Alpha Centauri System and how long it would take us to get there. Could we use light sails to travel the cosmos? All that, plus, is it ever too late to get into astrophysics?
Thanks to our Patrons Donald Jones, Mohammed Taha Faridi, Jon Barnett, Harmon Dhaliwal, and Sean Griffen for supporting us this week.

Houston, we have a problem! your sound modulator is not working
Hope to hear Astrum youtube channels creator Alex on your channel - Love both
I'm a long time Star Talk fan and follower I have been a patreon for some time now but I don't see any post where I could post our comments/questions in regards the next Cosmic Queries. The last one I can access is back from 1st June 2022 - Cosmic Collisions. Can you please point me out to where could I post a question for any future Cosmic Queries episodes? Many thanks
HEY NEIL! I need help with my new years resolution. I've figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. What I mean is, for stopping hurricanes, I get 7 things and one of those 7 things is to change the stars.
My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). I figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The 3 stars of Orion's belt align perfectly as the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case I drew a 7 on the jersey to make him, "Mickey," but you can put any number you want.
I really have figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. Don't worry, I've technically already done the easy part and changed the stars. My parents were teachers and for over 3 decades, they taught their students my constellation. Those kids will teach their kids. So on and so on. See, stars changed. I just need help to make it legit and with the rest. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm serious. Figured Neil has taken on the IAU and won, he can help. If, rather when, my idea for stopping hurricanes works it could be converted to a larger scale and EASILY regulate temperature, end drought, stop wildfires. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Will you please reach out to me and let me know that your interested in helping to stop hurricanes and change the stars? Thank you and don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P
🤍
In another universe, Niel is the Stand Up Comedian, and Chuck is the astrophysicist.
And you're a Startalk Patreon.
All the universes exist all the time
😂😂😂😂😂
Neil is you & you are Neil
Definitely
One day you should award Chuck an honorary degree in Physics simply for engaging with Neil in all these episodes 🤣👍
You can actually see Chuck relating with these topics! He's learning from it! He asks questions only someone who understands Physics can ask.
look at chuck's bloodshot eyes, he high as a kite. I would love to hand out with Neil if I was high!
Stuc is sou funny and Neil need dude that ask where Heisenberg forgot glasses. Whitt aut psysihks is interestin and lame. Need joucekrs.
Whatever chucks smoking, it's working. He actually understands this stuff enough to summarize it and make interesting points and questions.
Patreons of startalk we cannot thank you enough but thank you for your contribution of making this knowledge available for everybody thank you Dr Neil, Chuck and all StarTalk staff for making this amazing platform 💪🏽😻 please keep it up
I love that Chuck pulled out the answer of you being a song writer...you two are great together
*Live long and prosper in a universe of wonder and delights!* Star Talk has expanded my mind and you two made me laugh throughout the pandemic; no small feat. Thank you so much Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice, I appreciate and admire you both.
You should write the names of the people who ask the question on the screen. It would mean a lot to these people, and also make life easier for Chuck :) . Just a suggestion.
PS. Love you guys. Keep looking up :)
Chuck's amazement and curiosity with excitement is me all day.
You don't need a PhD to be blown away and get excited about astrophysics.
"LaPlace knew some physics" is the understatement of the year
I love the immersion!! This is what it be like if Neil and Chuck had their podcast in the vacuum of space, I get it! Big brain comedy 😉
These guys go great together
Chuck does a great job on these shows. Very underrated.
Let me first say how much I enjoy the information being given to all of us who watch these videos. Thank you Dr. Tyson and Chuck for providing us all with such knowledge and expanding our minds and thought processes. Thank you Chuck for mentioning "Borg Cube "perfect example. The only reason for the rotation is to simulate an artificial gravity. I believe this would be used on very long trips though open space. we as humans need the gravity for our bone density issues.
I love Star Talk, learning and expanding your mind/perceptions only enlightens one more and more. I can't get enough of this 👏
Same here... they got the perfect chemistry LOL
Wonderful program.This episode entails many of the questions I had about astronomy.I think physics still has a lot to unravle in the field of cosmology..
I love the answer to the person asking about going back to school! Everyone should get encouragement like this!
I love this podcast ❤ I bought three of Neil’s books!
Blown mind every time I watch Dr. Tyson.
Great concept, great hosts!
Great program the best episode yet.
If only I'd have had a physics teacher at school more like you Neil, I'd have paid more attention. Thank-you.
i said it before and i'll say it again: i really like the fact that Neil considers himself my personal astro physicist. thank you for that, Neil, you've got the job any day of my life! much love from Germany!
I always wondered why our solar system and galaxy were flattened instead of spherical. Your explanation was logical and easy to understand. I'm off to watch the video about why ice floats, another question that my high school science teachers weren't able to answer to my satisfaction, lol.
Seriously? ...Spin. There ya go. C'mon, kiddos on a merry-go-round know that.
@@stageiii1 Your reply is like the kid that hears the answer and says, "I knew that!"
Hi! Great video-I love watching this channel. I just wanted to add that the phrase “3D pixels” actually has a term that is used in computer graphics that is called VOXELS. I imagine this could also apply to our real relationship with space-time
I like the use of pulsars as the positioning system with space travel. At first I was thinking it can't be GPS since that's global positioning system, but the G would just mean galactic. GPS becomes galactic positioning system.
I alway thought of this when I watched scifi movies where there are battles. They always seemed oriented in the same way. All ships had the same up and down orientation. This agreed upon positioning must be why...
PPS- Pulsar Positioning System
Loved the graviton explanation using what we have proven to inherit what we suspect.
Immanuel Kant is one of my fav philosopher. Glad you mentioned him.
Great show last night in Phoenix Neil.
Thank you for putting this out there for us non patreon members.
Me and my 7 year old son are huge fans of the show! Neil thank you for all your efforts to continue the torch that Carl Sagan lit. And Chuck you are just SO funny and you really bring a lot of balance to the show. Thank you too!
Chuck is very cleverly funny
We love you Neil! I will definitly be joining soon! 😊
LOVE startalk. Got to see Dr. Tyson in Denver this week. The show was amazing.
So what is he like watching in person?
@Shane Roudybush Smaller than I thought he'd be lol. Honestly, he was really hilarious and was overall a good time. He was dancing and just living his best life.
Right on.... yeah he cracks me up... he's just so humble... he keeps everyone interested in all these interesting facts about space and time
This was an excellent episode!
love this channel
I absolutely love StarTalk I’m a big fan keep doing what you’re doing… I have a question you were talking about air pressure the other day and explaining how it works. What do you think is going on in the rear tires of a dragster funny car top fuel machine?
Thanks for the time and the free knowledge ( sorry for my english im from mtl canada ( GSP Accent here )).
34:06 "Star Wars: The Hope Diamond" LOL! I love Neil!
I remember when scientists put out information and knowledge with the shear goal to be to inform the masses. Thank you glorious Master for your free knowledge that only your paying servants get.
You're absolutely right as always but i need to hear it
I hope Neil and Chuck know how cool they are.
To the person asking if they're "too old to start a science career" at 36... if you're alive, you've got time. DO ALL THE SCIENCE!!!
I love that Neil says when the ads are coming, even tho i can skip them.
Best podcasts ever.
100% deserve all the support
Greath videos! you should make one explaining Wolf-Rayet stars, I bet very interesting physics is happening inside them
The membership is totally worth it ..
I love the notification of star talk .!
Amazing , as always .
A shameless patreon plug off the bat Neil U were my spirit animal wow thank u for explaining the tier level👏
love the 3D vry nice .. thank you for evrything
Sir I am from India, kindly add the subtitles as well, it will be of great help.
thank you
Thank you for letting us hear about this segment for paid subscribers.
A reason for aerodynamic space craft.... When that craft enters and exits an atmosphere such as Earth's. Wow! Mind blown!
I continue to be impressed with Chuck's ability to keep up with the conversation since he is not a scientist. Did Chuck major in science.
Audio is working for me now 😌
I Love you guys so much.
Is there a possible connection between more and more energy concentrating (mostly as mass) in deep gravitational wells and the increase in the expansion rate of the universe? some sort of conservation of space-time on a universal scale?
Question about the use of solar sails. How would you slow the craft once it reaches it's destination?
I love listening to you 2 explaining the cosmos but only problem is i start talking back and i realise im just watching a video haha
Neil and Chuck, I love you guys. Thank you for making life so fascinating.
Yer pal,
The Old Hippiebilly
I think the big rip is just a part of the Mandelbrot set. Basically meaning that information is confirmed and transported potentially. Blackholes could do this through virtual particle networks.
Question, if you were going fast enough that length contraction makes you shorter than a Plank length, what then? Or does exponential increase in mass with velocity result in you turning into a black hole first?
On the discussion of space craft shapes, I think it would make sense for a saucer shape. Those ships just may have left a home planet similar to Earth.
Thus, aerodynamics were important; especially since they presumably planned to make landfall. A small profile would allow a pilot to orient the craft into debis fields to minimalize impact damage. The round shape allows for a 360° vantage point.
Also this shape is beneficial to orienting head on or broad side into solar radiation to absorb or dissapate energy. Now, I thoerize that the spinning of the craft is part of some kind of phisics mechanism that enables the craft to traverse the curvature of space time in the oppisite direction giving the illusion of levitation.
As an aviation nerd, when you pull back on the stick/yoke to take off in a plane, that's called 'rotating'...so in fact there's a good reason to rotate your plane if you want to get somewhere!
These Q&A are great. Though Neils response about the round or circular craft was a bit unimaginative and limited. He answered it from a 21st century human frame of reference. As a scientist, sometimes it's ok to say "I don't know"
Thanks!
Okay Niel with the rowing lore 🚣 👏
I was hoping this was the cosmic queries you all asked on Patreon.
Assuming the flying saucer was spinning at a high enough speed, the "window" could shutter open/close at a frequency that matches the time it takes to revolve exactly 360 degrees. Then effectively it would be like how old movie projectors worked, or how florescent light appears to us as being always on.
Lol imagine being in a flying saucer that is spinning at at-least 24 times per second... (that would be the minimum frequency required to produce this effect clearly).
Lol Im not alone, i thought that too
Or they can have cameras on the part that isn’t rotating
As a fan of the Lost In Space series I have to point out that the Jupiter 2 was not shown as a spinning saucer. It is perhaps the only thing close to being science based in the entire series. I use the word "close" very loosely. LOL
The outer shell of the flying saucer, with the windows, can spin as you've described. But to remain habitable, the inner passenger compartment counterrotates at the opposite angular velocity and therefore has no acceleration harmful to the beings within. (I'm unsure whether the motive system components are within the outer or inner part, not knowing what the mechanism is.)
The reason Enterprise was shaped as it was is because the disc part disconnects and the plain is used for slowing during descension into a planetary atmosphere. Of course, the entire ship (as we've seen) can fly into a planet's atmosphere it can still play a part in velocity reduction. Not to mention if in a space battle and the engine portion is damaged, the disc can still be used for escape into a planet's atmosphere where other types of ships may not be able to traverse.
Just Say'n! ;O)-
Wow I didn't expect that
I can't hear as well, very sad. I love and enjoy your programs, unfortunately somethings going on. ♡
Think about the formation of the rings of Saturn. I think that’s similar to the galaxies disc shape. The black hole in the middle is like a colossal planet.
Neeeew iintrooo🎉 I can’t decide if I like it yet!
Dr Tyson, I would love to hear some poems that you have written 😃They will be some of the most clever poems in the world I believe
Neil and Chuck for 2024
Maybe I’m missing something here, but you say that the light sail propulsion would only work on the postage stamp sized satellite due to weight. Could you please further explain why weight is a factor when you’re in 0g space
been thinkin about switching careers into the sciences but you need to have had great grades in grade/highschool. Would i need to redo some of that as well?
"Still none-the-less at the center of your own horizons ... But then again do you need to know where you are if there is nowhere to go?" Good Q!!!
But, how can you be without matter? As far as we can tell, the subjective is a side effect of peculiar arrangements of objects - however small & amorphous they may be.
If we were able to travel at lightspeed, what sort of mathematical equation would we need, to develop a navigation tool that could account for the movement of the stars and the expansion of space, to prevent a Lost In Space type scenario.
OOOh another room in Neil's house cool!!
I just love you both 🥰
new intro
sounds good
Chuck !!! 😂 the Star Wars music! Epic!!!! 😂😂😂
Lol very entertaining pod cast
I laughed so hard, when the Star Wars song was playing, while Niel was talking!! Best part!$
Stop stop stop he got a gold medal 🥇 that is awesome Neil!!!
Excellent
Touraine Chenonceaux whites are pretty good Neil. Also have you tried
Aglianico from Campagnia?
i love me some tgi tyson! favorite guy ever!
Lol loved the episode. Maybe at 50 im not stuck and can start a new career, that was nice to hear.
If I'm not mistaken, Pluto is part of the Kuiper Belt. Is there going to be a point in time that all of the rocks in that belt form into 1 planetary unit?
In the round space ship question he gave more of a opinion then an smart answer. How can you answer something you don't know, if their are aliens cruising around in round space craft then they must know something we don't or have a technology we don't know about or their planet has differences. love these shows and to learn something new is always good but sometimes can be funny to think this civilization is still so young we don't know much and their is so much to learn still, especially in space
By 4:25 you got me hyperventalating’n 😂💀
5:10 UDATE:
“if that gos unchecked”
Me: “IF?…If is good!”
what is an empty singularity? can there be black holes without an event horizon?
I love the Borg ship too chuck🤔
Do a video on the project done by the CIA known as the Gateway process. I think it's a fascinating paper and could explain how the mind really functions. Even goes into detail about conciousness and what conciousness actually is and about thus life is actually a dream or more of a simulation. And about remote viewing under the pretext project stargate. They also use the term known as "The Absolute." And somehow conciousness us somehow linked to this phenomenon.
To be fair Neil, the pulsar mapping has been used since the 70's. Both Pioneer and Voyager use it for pointing out our solar system to any being that may encounter them.
re: Starting a career (including 4-7 years of school?) at age 37+ can be a problem due to age discrimination in most industries. One manager I had told me it would be better for the company to hire a young 20 something than someone 40 years old. Insurance costs, employee salary & treatment expectations, and longevity, are negatives leading managers to hire the younger person. Is that true in astrophysics positions too?
Mad fan of yours and your guest.
@AHS you are an angry fan of youse and what'shisname too?
i think neil tyson would sound really cool as a DJ!!
