If you hear a loud sound of a high enough frequency, it really Hertz.

"the big bang was the ultimate bass drop" - Joe Scott 2020

"If a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?" Is like saying "If I don't see it, it can't see me"

"The big bang was the ultimate bass drop...." ....you deserve millions of viewers Joe. You've entertained me for hours and hours. Thank you for all the effort you put into your content!

The isolation finally got to him

"we peaked at giant sloths, everything's been downhill from there" - Joe Scott 2020-

"THIS is the sound of the big bang:" 17:49 *Rush's 'Tom Sawyer' plays*

This earned my like when Joe mentioned that the planet's evolutionary history peaked at giant sloths

I gave up on “Tectonic Anus” after their difficult second album.

When I was a kid, the comet was 65 million years ago. Now it's 66 million years. Way to make me feel old, Scott. ಥ_ಥ

“You thought your poop just vanished..... there’s a whole science behind that toilet”. I laughed out loud!

OK, I might be an incurable dork but I love the conversation with the tree. Trees and plants may not possess sentience to the best of our understanding, but they DO indeed sense things. I am convinced that like the infinitesimal band of light visible to humans, so too is our true understanding of the tiny sliver of the Universe in which we live. Just saying... Nothing but love "Face Hole" Now THAT is a great name for a band! Eugenics is an excellent case in point of how something can be totally logical, but also be wrong (at least morally and spiritually). "Tectonic Anus" yet another masterful possible band name. You are on FIRE, Joe! In my old age, I find that I am turning into a Giant Sloth (pun intended). That black hole collision is wicked cool footage. This is the kind of thing that when you bring it together in your inimitable way, makes your channel truly compelling (IMHO).

I don't know why, but I was expecting an Audible sponsorship for this video. 😅

You had that tree... stumped. Alright, I'll show myself out.

17:48 good to know that God bass-boosted the universe into existence.

I served in the US Army, Field Artillery branch. I had a 208 mm (8 inch) artillery round go off about 30 yards from me. I had a crew of six guys and most of us were in the open, not hunkered down behind any kind of cover. There was shrapnel flying all around us, yet somehow, miraculously, no one was hurt. But the sound was incredible. We could feel the shock wave flow through us a split second before the sound hit. We were all wearing hearing protectors (mil speak for ear plugs), yet the noise alone almost took us out. Tinnitus for weeks. That's the loudest thing I have ever experienced.

You are making the classic scarce entrance stepping out from behind the tree. I see you are a man of culture.

I wish my trees sounded like Joe

Nice job, Joe! You have a gift for making hard concepts easier to grasp.

That has to be one of the best intros ever! Keep up the great work Joe, you're definitely in my top 5 favorite shows. Possibly even #1

don't listen to that tree Joe, he's barking mad!

Joe finally lost his mind during quarantine

I need a T-shirt that says “the Big Bang is the ultimate bass drop”

Describe The Big Bang in 4 words: “The Ultimate Bass Drop.” -Joe Scott

Tree - "I prefer to be addressed as an Arborial American."

Theory: The reason the tree sounds just like him is that it sprouted out of his decaying clone and absorbed the DNA. Edit: Thanks for the likes everyone, I appreciate it.

Hi Joe, First off - I want to say that recently I came across your channel and I love the work that you do! I now listen to your videos to and from work everyday. Whether I agree, disagree, like or dislike your videos doesn't matter because at the end of each I have learned something profound....and it makes my brain think lol. I recommend your videos to anyone looking for something thought provoking, yet VERY supported and informative. At first I wanted to ask (and was hoping) to see your insight as to why music is so important to human beings - being that it has historically evolved with our species, and is such a tremendous part of our society. But something happened today that has been really troubling to me. Someone I work closely with was found dead in the bathroom at my job. But that isn't even the troubling part....After learning of his death, I now cannot remember his face. The same thing happened when my grandfather died, as well as a close friend years back. The brain is extraordinary. Why does this happen? If the latter is too ambiguous, please consider my first thought. Thanks!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the beginning of this video gave me such a good laugh!!!! Love you and your videos

the big bang literally sounds like a 50's Sci Fi low budget movie studio's fictionalized interpretation of what the big bang would sound like.

God: *dabbles with dubstep* -2 minutes later- God: holy shit

To me it's kind of scary how funny Joe is becoming

Quick note: Krakatoa is actually not active. The active peak is really Anak Krakatao. Which just means ‘child if Krakatoa’. It is technically a whole different peak. PBS did a three-hour special on the volcanic island in Sunda Strait. Absolutely fascinating stuff!

"It created a 5 **mile** wide fireball that was seen a thousand **kilometers** away" Horrifying!

this video went from “loud noises” to “BIGGEST BOOM BOOMS IN EARTH” real quick

8:45 - Oh!! "Joe needs bigger _booms."_ like with an *m.* See, I thought you said... uh..., y'know, nevermind - it's not important.

That's what we like about you Joe; you're down to earth, no funny-business, no clowning around, just straight, dead-serious talk. Keep up the excellent work. ^_^ (not a dig, I adore your sense of humor)

Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein wasn't the monster. Wisdom is realizing that Frankenstein was in fact the monster

12:30 I just want to say that "Toba" it's a slang in portuguese for anus, so i think he's got a point about that

For the longitudinal wave, it’s hard not to look at it like a linear graph, but the up and down part is amplitude (density) and the linear is time. It’s the same idea as turning the density graph sideways. Minor detail, but as a former audiology student, I just had to say something. Also the actual physics of sound (amplitude, sine, frequency, reverb) is actually really cool and would be a good topic for a future video!

"...a tree that can sense and perceive things too." Me: (thinks of all the times I've plucked leaves from branches for no real reason) OH GOD!

"when you hear a shotgun blast" - very Texas of you :-D

He was giving you the silent tree-ment. ...get it? Guys, do you...d- do you get it?? I'll hear myself out...

“The biggest bang in the universe is the Big Bang.” My brain: “But the universe is the Big Bang.” I’m tired

Several years ago, the disused bank building next to my condo complex (down on Turtle Creek, Joe) was imploded for new development. They gave us all sorts of instructions of how to prepare for the sound and shock waves. I had fallen asleep reading the night before, but even on the far side of the complex, away from the demolition site, that s h t was LOUD. Brought me straight up out of my chair!

Rename this "Joe and his unhinged beef with trees"

1:53 All this time I'm asking myself what Joe's neighbors must be thinking...

You make it fun to learn. You do your research. I'm enjoying it.

Hello Joe, Thanks for a really interesting topic that was presented in an audience friendly way. Please keep doing this as it's fun and informative! On a side note, I was wondering if there was any way to umm talk to the tree? It seemed to be polite and might even have talked with Ben!

The "World's Techtonic Anus?!" LOL

easy, loudest sound ever would be dropping anything after 3am when everyone’s asleep.

I havent seen a Joe vid with this many interesting facts since Lightning Rounds. Loved it. Really, really, really wish you did more of those Joe. Was literally why I subbed, though the regular great content is why I stay. Even one a month would be super dope bro.

Hi Joe, I recently found your channel, it's amazing, I love it! Where would the Tunguska, meteor crater, suspected, or younger dryas impact rate? How about the Sudbury and Vrederfort impacts?

"if you think 2020 can't get any worse" Please stop talking we don't need to give 2020 any ideas :)

“Tectonic Anus”: I have got to figure out how to name something this in life. Maybe a gamer ID name or something. Love the info and humor mix, keep it going!

That nervous look around you take at 0:40 cracks me up every time.

i’m currently binging at your videos and i’ve commented on your latest video as well, but just want to let everyone knows that Anak Krakatau (literally translated as Krakatoa’s Child) was in eruption mid year 2020 and (maybe also) caused the skyquakes. 2020’s been fun

4:15 I thought it said "sound of a tomato" at the top of the list. I was like wtf is a sound of a tomato?? no wonder I cant hear it, a tomato tends to be pretty quiet 🤷

1:05. DOGGO--- " Why is that weird human talking to my toilet??? "

I'm glad you touched on the volcano on Thira. I didn't know anything about it until I visited Santorini

These low key intros of this guy..turning around in the chair..coming from behind a tree..I love it!

Joe 😂😂 you just HAD to make the tree have a Boston accent didn’t you😂😂 you’re my favorite youtuber for sure keep doing what you do!!❤️

That’s one of the funniest segments you’ve ever done before. Gotta do more of that, had me cracking up, and my little boy cracking up and going to our backyard to talk to a tree.

i dont normally like your bits all that much (love the way you tell stories tho, so i love all your videos) but the talking tree bit was just hilarious

I laughed at the intro even before the tree started talking to him. He got the cliche mannerisms of the documtary host nailed! 😂 Good job Joe!

*Tries to imagine an episode with just the tree telling us facts*

"now you know I got you, you give me the silent TREE-tment"

I sometimes just watch this beginning bit... I love Joe's sense of humor

I loved the video, this video became one my favorite KZfaq videos of all time. Just the big bang explosion blew my mind lol.

"next time the leaves rustle or there is a shot gun blast in the distance..." what the hell is life like in Dallas bro, that ain't normal.

Well, you’ve never heard my dad sneeze.

"OhMyGod!,... I'm talking to a tree!" [yeah. And the tree's winning the argument, too.]

I love when we get a little peek at your dog 😁

Tree: So how's quarantine treatin' ya, Joe? Joe: 0:00 - 2:08

Being an audiophile, you've hit on a subject that is close to my heart. The research you must do is amazing. I'm not sure I can live without your videos anymore! God help me!

Well played with the commercial sounding like the big bang that I gave me a good laugh.

"We peaked at giant sloths, everything has been downhill from there." LMAO XD I had to pause to laugh.

18:00 The Big Bang sounds like someone trying and spectacularly failing to get away with a sneaky fart.

Pup in the background thinking "Ok, now he's gone completely bonkers - he's talking with the toilet."

1) thank you for pointing out sound exists without humans needing to perceive it. That tree is wise 2) love the use of "face holes" at the beginning 😂😂

I really like the pop sound at the end of the black hole collision. It is like you can see it in your head the two black holes colliding and *pop* now there's only one

When Joe talks about not sleeping, these arguments are what I imagine keeps him up at night.

my shrink: "Italian mafia tree isn't a thing, it can't hurt you." Italian mafia tree:

Looking at Joe’s T Shirt;reminds that the “BFR” moniker,was just fine for the Mars ship.

aww that wee sprout tree in the middle of the momma tree just made my day ha! : )

0:02 *”Hey what’s up guys, it’s Scarce here.”*

I think the loudest sound ever made was when I clicked on a very vulgar Instagram video while forgetting my phone was connected to the car speaker. I was waiting for someone's Doordash order and just blasted vulgarity into the parking lot

I did read a great article about making a 1000dB sound. The sound was restricted to a short TWANG! on a Fender Stratocaster - in mono. The figures resulting in that 1-second guitar solo was absolutely crazy. The loudspeaker cone would travel at speed far exceeding the light and even if the energy in all stars in the universe were used, we still wouldn't get enuff power for the amp to produce that 1000dB twang.

Thanks Joe. It would have been nice if you had mentioned the comet(s) Shoemaker-Levy 9 that crashed into Jupiter in 1994 creating fireballs the size of earth. And as an honourable mention the Tunguska explosion of 1908 that cut off trees at the base in a range of 40 kilometers.

*oh snap* There's a challenge, "2020 ain't over yet!"

Joe... thanks for many laughs and showing your age... the “more you know” edit in was a trip right back to my childhood. 😂 love it!

I love this guys sense of humor

Oh hey I've been to Santorini! It's kind of a tourist trap but some of the beaches are amazing!

Joe needs a bigger boom 😂

You were lucky, that tree sounded mean enough to have drop a branch on you.

That opening was EPIC!

I think this is the best video you ever produced.

The very first time I ever realized sound travels slower than light I was about 6-7 years old and I live a block from a baseball field and I saw the girl swing and hit the ball but I didn't hear it for about a second and I went hmm that's weird, I just saw it but I didn't hear it till way after... That's when I first realized sound travels much slower than light.

Loving it! Hyper-interesting and supremely well-presented as always. at 18:26, you say "Microscopic variations in air densities." In the 1979 movie, Alien, the science officer, Ashe explains the alien detector works on "micro-changes in air density." Later, Sigourney Weaver, as Ripley, while crawling through the ventilation ducts, says "Micro-changes in air density, my ass." Which HAS to be in the top ten of all movie quotes ever. Don't ever stop. All good wishes.

Love the opening skit, man!

SLAAAAYYYYEEERRRRRR! Well? One of the loudest sounds being a band, I've ever heard! Miss those guys. Damn good stuff too Joe! Love your channel!!
