This process of saving time is generally defined as developing skills and experience, and counts as preparing for the future, so you don't need to sprain your brain trying to imagine the time and dedication it takes to do something simple for you because of your past time and work.

      @@GammaFields Actually, in the relatively small number of stars pointing their rotation axes in the right direction (our way) AND close enough to have a significant effect, it very much is a question of IF not WHEN.
      The population of suitable progenitor stars is fairly small, and the timing and orientation requirements are quite stiff. It is very definitely an IF.
      That one of the 6 or 7 largest extinctions does not have a *detected* terrestrial explanation doesn't mean there wasn't one - just that nobody has worked it out. Yet.
      Plus, of course, the necessary evidence might have disappeared down a subduction zone.
      Meantime, we are, as a species, reproducing the causes of the #6 mass extinction, but doing it faster and harder than nature did. Which doesn't seem to worry people enough to actually *do* anything about it.

      Wikipedia quotes the bet thusly, from _A Brief History of Time_ :
      _This was a form of insurance policy for me. I have done a lot of work on black holes, and it would all be wasted if it turned out that black holes do not exist. But in that case, I would have the consolation of winning my bet, which would win me four years of the magazine _*_Private Eye_*_ . If black holes do exist, Kip will get one year of _*_Penthouse_*_ . When we made the bet in 1975, we were 80% certain that Cygnus X-1 was a black hole. By now [1988], I would say that we are about 95% certain, but the bet has yet to be settled._
      _Private Eye_ is a satirical current events magazine.

    Imagine traveling to another star and accidentally flying into a dormant black hole because you had no idea it was there until it was too late since the gravity is too strong already

    • @cheeeeezewizzz
      @cheeeeezewizzz Před 10 dny +2

      Very unlikely. The gravitational reach of a black hole isn't any greater than that of the star which formed it. The total amount of gravity excerted is the same, just highly concentrated the further you get towards the center. For instance if the sun were to suddenly be replaced by a black hole of the same mass tomorrow and continue rotating as normal the entire solar system would just continue as usual, just in darkness. You would feel the gravity from any black hole WAY before you got anywhere near the event horizon even in space. Now, you might have trouble if it's one of the theorized rogue black holes that are just flying around the galaxy, those things supposedly move really fast. Could totally intercept your course out of nowhere conceivably before course corrections could be done to avoid it.

      I mean there are probably still numerous unknown non-light emitting bodies out there, but relatively stability in orientation(for probably billions of years by now), is part of what makes them hard to find. We have like 13K+ stars moving with us like a river of stars within 100 light years. A blackhole not moving with the flow already, would easily disturb the stellar river and give itself away.

    Anton, just wanted to thank you for your down to earth and appropriately explained science videos.
    I pretty much only watch your videos now. There is a new plague where most CZcams "science" videos are some idiot twisting facts into a story with tension, a buildup, and a climax. In my opinion, while maybe it makes science more engaging for certain people, it's turning it into a game and oftentimes spreading misinformation. A game to get clicks, make money, and say whatever needs to be said to keep their audience engaged. As CZcams becomes a more popular medium for science, more and more lies get shoved into these videos.
    So again, you are one of the few remaining science channels that is respectable and trustworthy, so thank you
