That's super cool! Do you have any links to related research? Edit: did some Googling but couldn't find anything. Seems probably untrue. Edit 2: there's a paper in nature published in 1980 mentioned in the comments. The author seems credible but the paper isn't cited by any astro reviews and seems much more like a casual hypothesis than a serious investigation. I'm not convinced, but def look up the paper and make up your own mind.

but then those dinosaurs started driving around suvs and ruined everything 🤣

@@stand1ngbidness sounds like a reference to anime where there is at least one girl with blue or green hair. What’s the point beyond that? I don’t know.

There are many things I never thought of before watching this channel. That's what makes it so awesome

John Varley wrote "Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance" in 1976, set in the Ophiuchi Hotline universe. It's very, very trippy, but evokes the strangeness of Saturn's rings marvelously.

Nice tasty volatiles are always wanted.

He stated many Time that Jupiter is a Solar système on its own.

@@clemlo4973 Yeah, but it's a "Solar system on its own" being baked by some of the highest concentrations of ionizing radiation anywhere in the Solar system. Jupiter has a massive and insanely powerful magnetic field which concentrates hard radiation in the region. Look it up, not a good location for a new suburb.

@@Blowfeld20k You are puting word on my mouth sir

@@clemlo4973 Correct and I wouldn’t mind seeing him delve into that part more thoroughly.

I know that feeling, mine’s really annoying too. Would be cool if he made a video about cures for Tinnitus or other things like that.

he’s quite underrated, he gives so much information, and it’s not boring like other information, it’s actually entertaining

Everything the man says is Sci fi novel gold. If only I was a great writer xD

I think Isaac should consider writing his own sci-fi story/novel/movie (whichever art form he resonates with). At the very least, he is an awesome “world builder”.

And the individual rocks really aren't large enough for spacestead habitats such as O'Neill cylinders or Stanford toruses. Though it could be possible to combine the boulders into something big enough for such a habitat or two.

@@futeramonfuturamet4830 Or drag a habitat there. However I want to point to the fact that Saturns have small moons inside the ringbelts clearing a path for themselves causing the formation of the gaps in the rings. I do not know how large they are however but it should not be that hard to look up.

@@michaelpettersson4919 Its a far late response as this tab got buried but its important to note that Saturn's rings based on the work of the Cassini mission appear to be locked in a natural analog of Kessler syndrome as all the particles are going at high speeds relative to each other in generally chaotic orbits stabilized by impacts and tidal interactions. Those will make colonization efforts within the ring system difficult Saturn's large asteroid sized moons Mimas and or Enceladus probably would be a better bets though as the craters that cover Mimas appear to be surprisingly young you would want to be quite deep if building a base in the ring/moon orbital plane. (In fact due to the lack of evidence for tidal heating like Europa, Enceladus's cryovolcanoes may very well be fueled by a relatively recent past giant impact event. remember the moon only has a mass of 10^19 kg so by mass its on the order of a large asteroid size wise)

If living in some habitat, embedded within a small moon (just large enough to protect you from bombardment)… Just imagine what it would be like at the time of a collision. Sure, you might be “safe”… but that doesn’t mean the experience wouldn’t be terrifying, or even somewhat violent.

Thank you :)

Isaac, you always remind me of the sad truth that I was born too late to explore our planet and too early to discover our greater world. However, we are here at the right time to think about things like this… as long as the coming election turns out right, you know? 😊

@@DanielGenis5000 Indeed we are a century too early to see the earnest exploration of our solar system and beyond

Maybe not such a great view as you'd be viewing the rings edge on. You'd probably want a decent angle for spectacular views. I think Isaac Asimov did a short story on such a setting.

Statistically, given planetary formation and the oligarch phase, there should be actual planets out there, too.

Until a ton of debris smashes into them and kills them.

Sound very nice,im Also creating world

Double fun then.

Possibly the "trick" is to pull TWO chunks out of the oort cloud and then swinging them around mars in opposite directions and collide them to cancel the opposing velocities. The first Martians would likely live underground to avoid the suns radiation and cosmic rays.

That point he is human too …doesn’t what to though that situation and yes all soldiers is pawn ♟ to the players etc

Well there are still many places on earth that you can explore

In the history of ways to ensure that Isaac Arthur DOES NOT RESPOND TO YOU... Talking about politics is at the 𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔 𝙏𝙊𝙋 of that list. Because no matter what he said/did... He would lose half his audience if he did/said ANYTHING. Issac is a MASTER of being "apolitical." And I've TRIED emailing him... Trying to get ANY info regarding politics out of him. No response. And I see why.

@@eljeorgo buddy, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Did you ever consider that I might know Isaac just a little better than you? I respect his privacy though, and I’ll leave it at that, so please do the same. Let’s move on.

@@DanielGenis5000 - I can't move on. Because I DO know what I'm talking about. Now - Is Isaac "political" in his PRIVATE LIFE. Quite probably. But his PUBLIC PERSONA? Is 100% Apolitical as I said. He has NEVER - In ANY of his episodes in ALL THESE YEARS made a SINGLE political comment. And in ALL OF THE COMMENTS to ALL OF THOSE VIDEOS... Zero political comments. (AND he didn't respond to you.) I'm done. And I wasn't wrong.

@@eljeorgo hey, I looked into you… you’re not a bad guy, I’m sure we’d actually get along great in person. Let’s not argue anymore. I do know Isaac on a more personal level as well as his politics, that’s all. You’re right that the show is apolitical, which is fine. Cheers.

Might I recommend 'The Martian Way', a short story by Issac Asimov.

@@stainlesssteelfox1 A good recommendation for others. Read it myself decades ago.

Undecided :)

The thing about a rotating habit is that you can create artificial gravity using centrifugal force. Of course 0 gravity works well enough on places like the ISS but the longer a person experienced no gravity the harder is is to acclimate to gravity

@@aprylvanryn5898 On the ISS there is only zero G, because it's constantly falling around earth. If it was able to stand still, it would experience a gravitational force similar to the Earth surface. You can hold constructions with a counter-weight in place.

@@limbo3545 I do get that but the thing is, if you move farther away from gravitational bodies the effect would become lessened. If you go to Jupiter most of the trip would be without gravity. If you made a generational ship to go to prixima centari there would be minimum 2 years at light speed and speeds we could go now would be more like 400 years. We do know that mating is difficult in 0 g.

@@aprylvanryn5898 I think I get your point. I wasn't saying we shouldn't do the other things. I was just thinking how to utilize existing gravity. Especially at Saturn/Uranus/Neptune, because they have similar gravity as Earth. You are absolutely right. We need all the infrastructure (ships/stations/O'neill cylinders, etc.) to survive regardless how far and how long we travel. Btw. acceleration also mimics gravity while travelling (like how they do it in The Expanse).

@@limbo3545 u can only store so much energy to thrust. Maybe we could go to Saturn with what we have and slow down after with what we will have. The radiation from Jupiter would definitely kill us. Even outside the rings the radiation is intense. It doesn't mean life couldn't exist, just that human life couldn't. We would be jello in days. If we got past that the radiation from Saturn would do the same thing if we got close to it

the belts are reallly sparce, and nothign like movies, ... but it is kinda,

It does not require energy to get things into orbit around the sun. Everything we mess with... Starts in orbit. So to get something to "drop towards the sun." I guess you just launch it into space... Give it some velocity in the opposite direction that the Earth moves... And it will spiral in towards the sun (assuming it doesn't get an accidental gravity assist from another planet. - Which... Of course... Could be harnessed to slow the object you're dropping even further relative to the sun.)

@@eljeorgo It takes energy to change your orbit. Giving something a push in the opposite direction won't send it spiraling down, it'll just put it into a slightly more elliptical orbit. Orbits aren't quite the precarious balancing act above a death spiral that some people imagine. Pushing it will cause it to fall towards the Sun -- correct -- but it gains speed as it falls. It continues to gain more speed in the "down" direction, but the speed it just gained does not suddenly change direction as it moves, so the total speed is always pointing a little bit away from straight down. As it gets closer, it gets faster, and the direction it's traveling points further and further away until it's perpendicular, (the periapsis/perihelion/perigee, the lowest and fastest point in the orbit) where the direction of travel then starts to point away and the object gains altitude instead of losing it; its inertia then carries it right back to where it started where it slows down and starts its fall again. Tricks like gravity assists and aerobreaking can help you save fuel, but those come with their own costs. Nothing is free. "Why do objects in orbit around Earth eventually fall down?" Objects in low Earth orbit experience an ever so slight force of drag from the tiny amount of atmosphere that makes it up that high. Companies and govs put satellites into this unstable orbit intentionally so that (besides also being cheaper) they will eventually fall when their mission is over and don't become permanent space junk. Objects in higher orbits experience much less drag and will be up there effectively indefinitely. "What about black hole mergers?" Objects slowly bleed orbital energy in the form of gravitational waves through a process I do not understand. Suffice it to say, the effect is extremely slow and extremely small, which is why it takes two supermassive objects orbiting each other at handshaking distance for us to detect it. The effect on a ship orbiting the Sun is totally negligible.

I'm pretty sure Isaac knows this, but probably fumbled on the script trying to balance so many things. Team Isaac, correct me if I'm wrong.

@@JimboJamble - You know because of 1. gravitational waves & 2. Dust in space Over the course of BILLIONS of years... Yes an object WOULD eventually spiral towards the sun. (If you gave it a push in the opposite direction that the Earth moves... And it didn't get any gravity assists from venus or mercury that flung it to a higher orbit) LOL I wrote my response before reading the 2nd half of yours XD

@@eljeorgo Sorry, it was a really long post.... Remember when KZfaq comments had a character limit?

Titan seems tailor made to be a vacation destination. Not only the flying, but also the lakes and rivers

Not like it's shown anyway :)

It could exist still, although it would be delivering ice to various artificial habitats, not Mars, Ceres or any asteroid colony. Most places in the belt and farther do have water already

I think the idea is that the sail itself is *just* strong enough to withstand the extremely slow acceleration from the lasers, but fragile enough that anything else hitting it will just punch straight through without transferring any of that energy to the surrounding, otherwise untouched sail. The holes would be small enough to not impact performance too badly, and you can fold them up when you're not using them.

@@KosmonautKong you have some points there. I wasn't referring to such speeds however. I was referring to relativistic speeds. Like approaching decent fractions of the speed of light. Also you need to adjust the lasers output so at close distances it doesn't punch a hole through a just barely strong enough material. NASA doesn't operate on just good enough. They like to have a margin of error of 2-5 X stronger than necessary. And it's not a few holes at relativistic speeds. These craft will be travelling for potentially hundreds of years. That's a lot of holes and the laser output must increase the further it travels and any signals sent back will be so difficult to receive to make up for the generator we can not put in such craft as they need to weigh a few gram. Less than 30gm. That we need receivers larger than the planet. A massive array of satellites would do it but thanks to elon and other countries thousands of cube SATs launched now and into the future will make that real hard and may require an orbit further from earth and therefore more difficult to achieve. The problems are far more numerous than cosmic shotguns. I mentioned it because I haven't heard Issac mention it before. Its not on his radar as he isn't one to try and disprove his theories for the sake of being accurate. What kind of futurist would he be if he did. He likes to hand wave the problems away expecting our technology to improve enough that it is a non starter. I point you towards Kyle hills BECAUSE SCIENCE although it is not his channel. Search the video. WHY YOU DONT WANT SUPER SPEED. he does have his own channel now called Kyle hill. Its not because science though and that should tell you enough. To see how many satellites are in orbit I point you towards Scott Manley's video IF YOU COULD SEE EVERY SATELLITE. For a full vr experience of every satellite in orbit. At least from the position the camera is taking the footage. I am not certain if it is real footage or CGI. Forgive me if I got that point wrong.

Though that would require the tunnel to be at least 300million kilometers long

@@futeramonfuturamet4830 Depends on how you looked at it. Once you fold the piece of paper, even one of those tiny pencils they give you to play put put would be long enough to pass through both points.

No, robots sent there are scrubbed for that. That won't happen until we send humans.

Most likely.
