you still have mistakes, the car wheel analogy 4:45 os totally irrelevant, you need to specify the wheel diameter to get that speed number, this is not good.

@ScienceClicEN 3 жыл бұрын

It's to give an order of magnitude. Car wheels are usually of very similar sizes, you'll never have a wheel of 1 centimeter or 10 meters. In astrophysics it's always useful to give orders of magnitude to get an idea of how big / how fast something is, even though the calculation is just an approximation it doesn't really matter

It’s what made me realize there is no way it’s just an accident. There had to be someone who made it all. He answered me shortly after. God is real, and He reveals Himself as He chooses. He revealed Himself to Abraham and all of his descendants. Now we look His creation in the face and have the gall to say “what God?” To me it’s not too wild a stretch to say that there is an intelligent creator God, Holy in nature so we cannot be in His presence without dying because of our filthy selfish natures. Yet he decided not to leave us to that state but reach out to us. To become flesh and die the most painful death imaginable just to save anyone who believes and abides in Him. Every action has an equal opposite reaction. You sin, you pay the price. So the price had to be paid. He paid it so we can live. It’s not such a stretch to me, that the one who is Himself morality is the one who dictates what is and is not good. The study of science has often been pioneered by believers striving to know more of the nature of God. It’s not a stretch that the humans He made in His image (relational intelligent beings) would want to know more about Him, given the chance. Thanks to anyone who read this. Here is a flower 🌸 Jesus loves you ❤

It is just so fascinating to know that pulsars can speed up in almost an instant because the surface falls down a few MICROMETERS because of the lag of centrifugal force.

@isaiahphillip4112 2 жыл бұрын

It's just conservation of angular momentum. As the mass shifts closer to the center of the pulsar it's moment of inertia decreases, therefore it must spin faster to conserve angular momentum.

Hold the weights out away from you as far as you can, and then pull them into your body. You'll notice the speed at which you rotate increases based on the distance the weight is from your centre. You don't have to use weights but it'll demonstrate the conservation of angular momentum better.

12:15 Man, there is just so much incredibly intresting stuff in that video So the very fast rotation speeds don't just come from the initial angular momentum the star had before it went supernova, but from a secondary star? This is such a fascinating effect, if you take the baricenter of the system as a refernce frame, then the star, less dense, has matter with a much higher potential energy than the pulsar does, so when the mass of the star somehow ends up absorbed by the neutron star, it has the same effect as an ice skater pulling their arms together, just on an insane level because of the density of the neutron star And therefore, the entire kinetic energy of the orbitting pair (given the star ends up colliding with the neutron star), is entirely converted into an insane ammount of angular momentum, it's literally the spin that was in the orbit of the matter in the star that becomes the spin of the pulsar But this also raises a question, if a neutron star is formed, then later collides with a main sequence star in this manner, chances are the collision won't happen in the original spin axis of the star, so what happens then? Does the star have the "rigidity" to somehow change it's entire spin axis at the mergure of the two, or can you have a scenario where the core of a neutron star, formed from it's original star, has a different axis of rotation than it's outer layer, formed from absorbed matter that came from another star?

But you did, and you did it with flair and eloquence and explained it with technical prowess (making it easy for me to understand). And it was all done with absolute sound doctrine. Thank you for keeping this video up for 2 years, if that was when you posted it, because KZfaqs algorithms recommend this video and I'm glad it did! It was a beautiful marriage of intellect coupled with animation that proved that some people truly hit their calling.

At around 10:00, you speak about the effects such a strong magnetic field has, but it remains confusing, if you think this is a worthy topic, what would you think about a video that explains the interractions of the electro magnetic field with spacetime? How are the two related, how do they interract, and how do strong ammounts of distubances in those fields affect the other (ie: do large ammount of currents or magnetic fields have an effect on spacetime? Do strong ammount of gravity have an effect on the EMfield or electron field?) This would make for a very intresting topic on the fundamental workings of the universe

I have the same question, I was wondering if space time has properties which has tiny magnetics with north and south poles (could be higgs boson), the connection within those particles are spread evenly and creates elasticity and pressure properties in space time which creates gravity by squeezing the subatomic particles to one another, in the case of magic field, I think the star twist these particles creating a tornado, aligning these particles in one direction creating a giant magic field.
