DUMB

Great comment and suggestion.

I TOTALLY agree!

Tag Makers Pet Tags; My first true view of the heavens was at around 9k feet deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains also around 2am driving on a crystal clear later winter night. After over an hour of white knuckle driving I got out to take a break. Coatless and breathing air much thinner than I am used to, I looked up and saw something I will never forget. The true majesty of the night sky. I have never seen anything so beautiful, the sheer amount of colors and varying densities of stars, nebula, galaxies. There was so much color, and objects my brain could hardly distinguish anyone object. There is a part of me that wishes I could see this every night, and a part of me that never wishes to see it again because I know if I never saw it again, I could easily say what the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.

I have seen the stars so bright and it angers me when you get anywhere near civilization and the light pollution just wipes away the most incredible view we has humans will ever see. Just sad.

Damalia Marsi keep in mind the grass is always greener on the other side, not so many generations ago, the ability to communicate the world over in real-time, while holding a computer in your hands hundreds of times more powerful that what we used to put a man on the moon, was nothing short of magic. Not so many generations ago our ancestors, viewed a broken bone as a death sentence, clean water was unheard of, and the concept of going to a store and buying food grown the world over were was but a mere fantasy. It is always easy to find a reason to complain, it is not always easy to remember how truly blessed those of us lucky enough to live with light pollution truly are... And keep in mind there is almost 2 billion people today that live exactly as those ancestors who would see our lives as magic and fantasy, and would gladly trade you their view of the night sky to live the life you have so much disdain for.

@@user_unknown1488 Since you are so certain that every physicist on the planet is wrong and you are right, I assume that you have published your results in a peer-reviewed journal. When are you going to Stockholm to collect your prize?

this is a story not science

I think professional astronomy is a very hard field to actually get work in. You basically need a Ph.D to get a teaching position at a University. I like Michelle Thaller personally, she was one of the great astronomers from the 90s.

You can always get yourself a pretty decent astronomical telescope for a few hundred dollars !

To me it came at the age of 7 , seeing Earth from Apollo 8 when it made its passage beyond the moon . Apollo's was a magnificent Era .

We are so lucky to live in a time when we can educate ourselves at our own pace for free. The internet is so beneficial.

You and me, both. I took college courses in General Astronomy, Planetary Astronomy, and Astrophysics. It was a great thing to study.

She's animated w/a wonderful smile and speaks very clearly and on a level anyone could understand. The perfect spokesman...

Yea, I was writing something on my other screen and figured it would be good background but I after 15 mins I was just watching her >_>

Yes I mean I feel that way, but her audience looks... Bemused at best

@@Mr.aAdDies that's called polite and respectful observance. I mean, she's giving the lecture to a bunch of her peers. Just a sea of dudes out there, mostly bald on top except for the occasional comb over. .......doesn't really seem like an easily excitable bunch. ......elder astronomers and astrophysicists and such.

This lecture makes her very hot

Wow, your sentences are well formed for a kindergarten student.

Every astronomer and scientist has that same passion, not just her

Excellent lecture...madly interesting..brilliantly done! Thank you !

Please shoot me.

Did you get much work in your career, or were you consigned to shoveling dirt in and out of a wheelbarrow?

What does being a civil engineer have anything to do with whether you enjoyed it or not, lol

Amazing ....how many people fall for this HorseSchitt !

@@Snailmailtrucker are you for real the Dumbest person or so you just pretend?

Hey Genius... I bet that you believe the.... *"ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS NOTHING"...* *"AND THEN THIS NOTHING EXPLODED INTO EVERYTHING".* The Main Stream Scientific Community has been feeding you a Ration of Horse-Schitt for Centuries....and you gobble that-shit-up like a Magnet !

@@Snailmailtrucker and I bet you believe that in the beginning the mystical sky wizard said let there be light and there was light and he saw that it was good so then he created the heavens and the earth and all the things in it in 7 human style earth days. Dude even the Vatican has astronomers that believe all of what she said is real. How can you buy into religion with all its miracles and bringing people back from the dead but somehow physics is where you draw the line?

Flat earthers and other such low I.Q. idiots. I can pretty much guarantee it. They are the only ones I know, dumb enough to dislike this.

I thought the content was great, but clicked "dislike" because of the camerawork and editing. For just three examples, lots of times important slides weren't shown enough, there's far too much unremarkable (non-reaction) footage of the audience, and finally, the third time she said "Betelgeuse", the editor chose not to include any footage of him appearing.

I don't get the idea of the _dislike_ button. If I don't like what I see I just stop watching instead of wasting my time.

I disliked some of the confusing points. For example Betelgeuse is roughly 900 times the diameter of the sun, but nearly a billion times the size. I can't imagine a phd would confuse 1 dimension for 3 but it makes me angry this is common among astronomers because this leads laypeople to incorrect knowledge when the terminology is lazy. A toy car 1/10th as long as a real one dosent weigh 330 lbs it weighs 3.3.

I wouldn't necessarily dislike this, as it's a great lecture - for young people or people mostly unfamiliar with astronomy. I'm no expert, I have an amateur interest in the topic... yet none of this was new information to me, and the video description advertised it as new information being studied now, which is true technically, but only "new" in the scale of decades. It's all stuff that would be covered in an Astronomy 101 course, for example. So, I almost disliked it based on my own interests, but quickly realized that would be unfair to the lecture. I think the title and description are a bit click-baitish, though.

I hope the delta sinks further and drowns you entire stupid country.

@@irqittuq415 Get some help.

I just tune in to see gravitational lensing around her enormous behind.

only minimal mathematics and kept things exciting.... especially the black hole against a black background it's not a usual way to show a black hole but it works in this case

There was a hoax at the end of 2011 that Betelgeuse was to explode soon. That 15 year old me was very excited till I did some searching and learned that it was a hoax :(

this is going on my twitter feed.. this info so enlightening...

I just got chills thinking that it could have gone supernova hundreds of years ago but we don't know yet because the light is still racing towards us.

It's amazing to know that the 'pillars of creation' are no longer there. A supernova, right near them has blasted through them. We're just waiting for the light to reach us.

Dont say Betelgeuse 3 times or you'll have a heck of a time getting the genie back in the bottle so to speak XD

"well spoken" ? Are you a masochist? Or just paid to promote this obvious trash?

@@user_unknown1488 so true

We NEED MORE of these FINE lectures from Dr. Levesque in the future.

Why'd you have to say that? Were you on drugs? Think before you write such twaddle.

Moore's the pity. Such little scientific content.

It's because she couldn't see how he would jump to such a conclusion based on what she said.

*THE QUOTE IS:* "So warp drives are possible then; Right?"

@@htpcmagistrat3535 i think he was hoping she would say that gravitational waves move faster than the speed of light so he could use that as evidence that warp drive could be possible and make that joke but when she said they don't he just said it anyway.

a lil misleading, don't cha think?

Are you really gripped by over excitable people who have no scientific content?

@Jewell Starsinger you have a very weird way of interpreting things. I asked a few people to watch the video and they agreed with me. They thought the host had full admiration for Emily. For you to post that he was “gross” was really sad. Maybe your sickness tainted your view.

@@TeoOfficial_1 2046 my friend !

A chain of tens of thousands common and therefore unremarkable things created and sustained life. But that's science, telling you that you are not a results of magic. You are a consequence of things around you, reacting. You, regarding them as remarkable, is an emerging property, and truly lovely, but doesn't really change our own definition of something being common:D
