You mentioned symbiogenesis in your latest video. That would be cool!
The voyager 1 option makes me think of when I learnt what escape velocity was at school. I had assumed rockets reached escape velocity to get ro orbit.
My vote goes for anything ending in “rant”
Agreed. I'd prefer a topic of 80s country music, but if 90s country music rant was the option, it would get my vote.
Possible future topic .. the average planet in our solar system has probably orbited like 100,000,00 times, so it seems fair to assume it's a fairly settled equilibrium. But the average star in the average visible Galaxy has probably orbited its galactic center only like 30 times. So how do we have any strong notion that any galactic spin data we collect/infer is anywhere near a stable equilibrium. And the further away you go/see, wouldn't it be even farther from a settled state?
Related to this, I've wondered about the shape of space for a long time. In theory, when we look at the cosmic microwave background radiation, we're looking at the smallest the cosmos ever was, yet we see it as the largest thing we can observe. I gather that the universe doesn't expand into anything, that general relativity more implies that the original universe elaborates spacetime "inward," if that English word has any meaning, but I wonder how those who know the math see the universe. I'm sure this can be expressed in language, as math is also a language and there is some imperfect way to translate between the two. I'd like to hear more about this.
Just wanted to say hi to you all
Hubble Tension (though maybe after the next round of JWST papers) and/or why MOND sucks. What do you think of that woman Hassbender (sp?) who does physics videos?
I'm really interested in the idea that dark matter could "simply" be right-handed neutrinos, as I've heard Neil Turok discuss in several videos, as it seems to be a very parsimonious idea since it wouldn't require new particles or physics.
BRC! BRC! BRC! But don't forget the quarks, the quirky little parts, Or the waves that light can play, in the dark. Just don't misunderstand, the quantum wonderland, You might just lose your way, in a particle's dance.
I have always wondered if we could reach a point where we could interact with neutrinos enough to use them for extreme long range communications.
Science museums sounds very fun !!
People should always be talking about neutrinos. I am in no way biased by the fact that I study them. Also, do we need to talk about how "come to a halt" doesn't really have any meaning in space?
You can find my work in the scholarly publication, Yee-haw Quarterly: The study of 90s country music and Billy Ray Cyrus' hairstyles.
