    Brilliant talk. A great introduction for non-scientists about life possibilities in the universe.

    The speaker has a new book published "Assembling Life, how can life begin on Earth and other habitable planets", thinking of purchasing this.

    I see so many correlations between the universe and cytology, I look at the universe as one big "Cosmic-Cell" and everything within this Cosmic-Cell(stars, black holes, matter) are just "Cosmic-Organelles" responsible for the cell's function. I view this sudden acceleration of the universe as the Cosmic-Cell in the midst of division from its sister Cosmic-Cell(slow process). We are the stuff of stars, the stars are the stuff of the universe; are we so egotistical to think we are so different?

    [error, this part should go before the above answer]
    Stars are also formed within the columns, but we cant see those due to the dense gas (not anywhere near as dense as our atmosphere though).
    The reason for the gas being "blown down";
    Stars with active fusion in them 'produce' energy which eventually is emitted from the surface via photons, plasmas and other particles....
    (change 'inertia' above to 'momentum)

    Hey, plz help me whit this. At 15:40 or so he starts talking about the culoms. He says stars start to form on the tips. Why do they form there? He futher goes on saying that the culoms get blown down? I realy dont understand how this thing works. Why does it get blown down?

  • @mattetjus
    @mattetjus Před 14 lety

    ...the photons and particles collide with the gas particles in the nebula and the total inertia of the particles will often enough still be away from the star -> gas is blown away. Blown away down is due to the gravitational pull of the cloud or magnetic fields binding ionised molecules/dipoles together.

    To anyone who didn't understand about 44 minutes into this video how what survived falling to earth could possibly build more complex components of life, try running searches for such things as microscopic self assembly, nanoscale self assembly, macroscopic self assembly, self organization, and cellular automata.
    If you can't put the pieces together from what you can find with those searches, re-enroll in kindergarten and start from the beginning, but not in the same schools you've already attended because something had to have gone drastically wrong with your education somewhere along the way.

    @demonx406 I was typing too fast. I see now that I missed an 's' in my last comment as well. Don't see anything wrong with the grammar apart from starting one sentence with 'or'.

  • @tnguyen318
    @tnguyen318 Před 13 lety

    To the naked human eye its fact, under microscope it's something else. It's better to say that it's fact until proven otherwise. Gravity doesn't pull things down. If Gravity pulls things down, how come Spaceships out in space doesn't fall down. I don't think knowledge requires understanding relationships between facts. But first we need to define what is knowledge. Information is the word.

    Are we taking the word LIFE too literally?
    Because, we all know that every cell in our body has a genetic code to perform a certain function. A cell of a human heart will not create an eye and the cell of an eye will not create a kidney.
    So maybe the brain cell has a genetic code that tells it that the entire body and organs are ready to function, so lets start the machine, first with the heart.
    Its something like a switch which turns a machine on or off.
    Why cant we accept the above?
    and again i quote - are we taking the word LIFE too literally?

      Cells differentiate from their initial form with the help of growth factors and via the expression of specific genes. They eventually form specific tissues that eventually form organs. This is a significant oversimplification, but you can read more about it in an embryology textbook. It's very well understood by science.

    Good video. Great talk. Problem: SOUND IS GRATING! (that ubiquitous 'buzz'). Otherwise, good stuff. Wish there were many more like this video instead of the majority of crap on YT: senseless, insane conspiracy bullshit, religious shit, goofy weirdos haranguing anyone who has the unfortunate position to come across these dumb things! (ha ha ha ha!)

    If stars are created in Columns, then were did columns come from? Well?
    God created everything you all can think of. He created all of the stars, planets, galaxies!
    Look through your scope all day, noting is gonna change the fact that nothing cannot create something. Kay? You cannot create dust without a maker of dust! Kay?

  • @tnguyen318
    @tnguyen318 Před 13 lety

    How do you prove what is fact and what is not? There have been lots of theories with facts that were believed to be true at the time but now are proven false. It's "collection of evidence believed to be true". Knowledge should be factual and wise, otherwise it would be balogny.

      @MrKmanthie Před 5 lety

      Bridgeburner you're an idiot. To respond to your flippant, ignorant comment would be a waste of time, since everyone else understands the idea of one of the moons of Jupiter (aka "satellites"), called Europa is obviously a satellite/moon. DUH!!!!! uh-oh, watch out: here comes your kindergarten "teacher" to pull you off the computer since you're just screwing around.

    • @MrKmanthie
      @MrKmanthie Před 5 lety

      PS chidren's comments to these topics are worthless, since they are too young & lack the knowledge to form any opinions on the matter & any "facts" they claim to know are 99% of the time so idiotically wrong as to be hilarious!!

  • @MrPuiulamiba
    @MrPuiulamiba Před 11 lety

    They are asking the wrong questions.
    1.so, did the DNA self-assemble?
    2.did the ribosomes self-assemble?
    3.why did the "soap balloon" tried to survive?
    4.why did the "soap balloon" started to reproduce itself?
    5.the asteroid fallen in the Gulf of Mexico was big enough to made his composition part of a rock layer across the Earth?
    ...
    the stupid student asked him what is the speed of a bullet... i feel pity.

    @whitewolf1298 Před 5 lety

    The truth is, we just have to take God's Word for the origins of life.
    Everyone is just trying to disprove the Bible, why not just
    marvel and believe. There are some things that are just
    mystery which we will never understand. I was told that
    scientifically, it is impossible for a bumble bee to fly.

    • @spatrk6634
      @spatrk6634 Před 2 lety

      nobody is trying to disprove bible.
      because bible was never proven to be true to begin with.
      people believe it based on faith
      and some extremists take everything from it literally, so they must deny science because bible was written by bronze age desert goat herders who knew nothing about the world they live in
      how is it impossible for bumblee bee to fly?
      is it flying by magic?
