      Blades Santa there are a few types of people when you go to school. The one that doesn’t know the answer and always pretends to know and never ask questions. Those people usually are never good at math. Cause they think knowing is smart and don’t want to be labels dumb so in reality they become dumb. People that are smart never know it all and always ask questions till they understand something. Those people are smart cause they go looking for the right answers and aren’t afraid to look dumb by asking a question.

      @Nag Dasty so what's actually funny is now based on this comment, your last was meant for insulting him. Not sure how you were raised but it's a little odd you say something negative about him but yet now "hes a very bright dude". I don't think anyone here said he was on the level of Einstein or numerous amount of the people you named. So really it seems tou want to make it known you think hes a lower lever of genius? I'm not sure what you're really getting at. I'm glad you take interest and pay attention to this subject, but in all honesty who are you to judge anyone when it's clear your views are one sided. Have a good day

      In any case, the average bachelor's in physics has an IQ around 135 (at an average school). PhDs are in the 140s on average, so yeah he was probably the smart kid in his classes.

Two black holes collided and bent space 3mm. Black holes are not worm holes theyre just a lot of mass, infinitely compressed and if you went in one youd just die lol. And probably the proof of all this is that aliens have never visited us. So even if we somehow miraculously found alien life. Theres just no way to get there in a timely/efficient way. Im sure there are aliens out there that have existed long before us, are way smarter, way technologically advanced and guess what... they havnt made the trip. Or even found us.

  • @CounterRyu
    @CounterRyu Před 2 lety +42

    That's one of the greatest things i've ever heard Neil Degrasse Tyson say. I love thinking about the universe and theories on how it works. I've also thought there are many things we can't see beyond the observable universe, picturing something like Dr. Strange's multiple dimensions as an extreme example. We're so small, it's unlikely that everything we see, i.e galaxies, is all there is in the universe. I pictured it this way, it's very simple: asteroids revolve around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes that form galaxies, and then what. What comes next... what are galaxies revolving around? There's a good chance every galaxy we see, the observable universe, is all but a small sliver of a bigger galaxy ring that revolves something... many many times more massive than black holes. And whatever that thing is must be what is the providing the majority of force, "gravity", that is missing from the equation of dark matter and energy. And I suspect it keeps going and going, more round things revolving around bigger round things. It might also make sense that we cannot see these massive objects, because they act much like black holes upon light. It's somewhat scary to think about, that everything in our observable universe is only but what our star is to the milk way. But I think it's very likely. When Neil says that astrophysicist don't know the source of gravity, that 80% of it is unaccounted for.. That's interesting to hear, because I was skeptical of celestial body cores being the only source of gravity too. The true universe is an infinite piece puzzle, and we're only 3 pieces in starting somewhere in the middle.

The we don’t know what stuff we don’t know is a profound philosophical statement. We didn’t know about weather systems until we “discovered” them.
      It means that someone like Dawkins can say there is no god, but the truth is that no one can say with 100% certainty that there is or there isn’t
      So he can’t label you as deluded if you say there is because he can’t prove his point.

      TheSquirrelyGhost If I remember it from English I think it’s an analogy for describing things you don’t know with things you do. I think there’s a story where three blind men find an elephant, and one touches its leg and thinks it’s a tree trunk, and the other touches it’s tail and thinks it’s a broom or something, and they all try to describe what the elephant is only using their past knowledge of what it feels like. Apparently in the story the men begin to fight over which person is right, and I guess the moral of the story is to understand that you may only have partial information, and to accept that others may be able to broaden your own partial knowledge with their partial knowledge.

      Simboo show me the proof, there's no proof. Our way of measuring that it is expanding is flawed. We are using triangulation on such a large scale that we are getting false readings

    • @FroggyQC23
      @FroggyQC23 Před 6 lety

      There is no proof? There are thousands and thousands of studies that prove that the universe is expending and with all the data collected, by using simple maths, the scientists have demonstrated without a doubt that this expension is accelerating. Just do a google search, you will find all the information you need easily.
