You say 'modern day flat earthers' like there isn't a growing movement of modern actual, unironic Flat Earthers, lol. You're welcome for ruining or making your evening depending on how you take this news.

Who are these scientists you have in mind?

pretty ironic to say "modern day flatearthers" considering they're a modern occurrence. the ancient world didn't believed the earth was flat, we're just evolving backwards

Flat Earthers don't actually believe the World is flat, they just troll people who treat science as a religion. They target people who treat theories as facts and get upset if anyone questions popular theories...even though skepticism is the main principle of science. So they do the same exact thing mapmakers have been doing for thousands of years and then troll the living Hell out of the people who get upset over it

⁠@@vincentcabezas7147they thought we were the center of the universe in ancient times as well as being flat. 😂 but yeah.

​@@wstavis3135 Domesticated bees are an invasive species. The worrisome bee loss is native eusocial bees who pollinate things honey bees dont.

Agreed, but its nice to have a reliable backup should something go wrong. Also bees don't do well in environments that they aren't accustomed to, such as space or another planet, but the plants themselves might be perfectly happy in. These robots would allow us to pollinate the plants in these environments with much less fuss than trying to acclimatize or genetically modify Bees to do the same thing.

It's really, really difficult to fathom the size/scale/breadth/depth of the sky. It's one thing to stand in an open field or atop a hill/mountain and see all the huge sky around you and be like "damn, this would def take me a while to work through if I had to map all the stars I see at night." It's another thing entirely to then realize that for the further away you want to look, the field of focus narrows ever more so that, as an ass-pull numerical example, you go from being able to chart say, 1% of the sky at a time to 0.00000001% because you're basically taking a microscope to a distant section of space and even if you can pan the 'scope over, it's really hard to turn that into a cohesive image or map that connects.

And nature does it naturally too: parthenogenesis.

Aren't tadpoles one of those things that are sort of naturally cloned? ( honest question)

Really?

@@rebeccarakuza2845 I was wondering that myself when I read the original comment!

@@rebeccarakuza2845 Not sure what you mean by naturally cloned. They come from sexual reproduction. Each tadpole is genetically unique, though there are some interesting metholization going on from various environmental inputs. There are some differences in the egg vs amniotes which makes it easier to modify... hence the use of tadpoles. Care to elaborate on natural cloning. I feel like I am missing something here that would make it make sense if I knew it.

Exactly. Requiring battery manufacturers to produce batteries that are designed to be easily recycled, and to do the recycling themselves, would go a very long way.

No argument on using battery technology, but current technology it cost vastly more to recycle lithium batteries than to mine new lithium

@@kevinsulak4258 In large part because batteries are made to be cheap at the point of sale (glued & welded) rather than cheap at the point of recycling (made to be disassembled.) If the lithium was easier to recover at the point of recycling then the cost of lithium itself would be cheaper to use in batteries. But manufacturers don't make them that way because their competition doesn't make them that way and nobody gains the benefits but nobody take the hit in increased initial production costs. It's one of the areas where collective mandates are necessary. If battery manufacturers were required to recycle their own products (and provably so) then they would have to start making them recyclable from the point of sale for their own benefit later.

I feel like I watched a video or read an article about there being a few companies that are taking on the lithium battery waste with hopes of improving recycling processes and having it be a massive lucrative investment once it's a viable option

I'm a little disappointed that he made lithium sound like it is rare Lithium is everywhere on earth. The ocean alone contains a lot in sea water, and we can extract it. I'm pretty sure there are already doing that, but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, if they can make calcium air batteries happen. Then maybe we can use that to make lithium air. If you guys don't know Lithium Air batteries are the end all be all batteries as far as energy density goes. The therotical limit if you use air from the atmosphere like engines do? Is a whopping 12.3k kwh/kg. That is as much as kerosene! Yet kerosene doesn't have the effiency of using efficent electric motors. That is as much as the average electric car uses! So a single kilogram battery or 2.2 pounds could give you a car. One light as hell, and fast as a rocket. Anyway lithium air should be funded. Last year a team in America got one to work at room tempature. We just need to get half the effiency on it, and it will be a game changer.

This why space theory conversation get a little far fetched. Like we have to take a leap of faith to see understand and believe this stuff…

Its not like the "good ole days" where they defend their wrongness up til they die. Nowadays scientists actually like being proved wrong, because its exciting and we get to learn more/new things that eventually gets us closer to the truth. There is no such thing as perfection, but getting closer and closer to it is what drives real scientists forward, and leads to more understanding.

The universe is its transition from nihilism and lack of distinction to its conception in endless forms and forms that match its attributes. For it, existence is that it has revealed itself and its diversity. If I said that it is nihilism, you are right, and if I said that the forms are true, then it is all in all, and He would like to show its transition with every memory, every planet, and every thing. A galaxy. The black hole is its ancient world, which is singularity and nihilism. Then there is creation and various images, and this applies from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy. Existence is nothing but images revolving around nothingness If you go to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, nothing will change. You are a drop in a sea that has no shore. You are the drop, you are the sea, and you are everything.

@@SeraphRyan except for when it puts into question the pseudo religious nature of naturalism and darwinian evolution. Countless examples from science refute both yet what essentially is the flat earth of modern science is still a field of biology.

*_"It's ScIEnCe!!!"_*

Sadly, Afghanistan has a ton of lithium and other metals that science is interested in, so we can expect continued combat (at some level) so various countries can aquire it. Ugh.

I believe there are two main problems with lithium: The first is that extracting it is cumbersome, and as stated in the video, causes some pretty massive negative repercussions for the environment. While we likely have more on Earth total, than we can use *currently*, most of it is inaccessible. This puts a huge limit on how much we can actually utilize in manufacturing. Second, lithium is one of the least abundant elements overall, and more lithium can't be produced. There is currently no known process to manufacture lithium, so the amount we have is the *total* amount we will ever have. So while we might have more than enough for our needs at present, if we ever try to massively scale up our usage of the element, we could easily hit a permanent limit.

@@AeriFyrein Lithium is the 25th most abundant element on Earth, there is more than we could ever use. But like I've said, it can be quite labor-intensive to extract. That is because it's usually in fairly low concentration. But they are developing new techniques for extraction that are much better. There are probably better battery chemistries coming up, but we are not gonna run out of lithium no matter how much we need. Lithium is kind of like aluminum: it's incredibly plentiful, but it requires a lot of energy to refine. That's why aluminum and lithium are both great candidates for recycling, and lithium that is extracted from dead batteries can be used again, nothing about it is depleted from use, it's a good as new.

I believe lithium will eventually go out favor for most uses except perhaps air travel and high performance applications. In those cases, high cost and the requirement for other expensive metals in the batteries like nickel, and cycle life downsides will remain worth it. But for just about everything else, cheaper tech like sodium ion will likely take over.

@@patreekotime4578 I totally agree, sourcing these minerals is a pain. I heard someone has developed WATER-based batteries! How great would THAT be?

Besides Taylor swift and draft picks

According to the theory , it came from a singularity , but nobody actually knows for sure

It's like asking what lies outside Everything.

A better question would be why was there a big bang, or simply, why is there anything other than nothing? it seems pretty elaborate to be pointless.

I always like the "God made the universe" yeah cool, but where did God come from... 😄

The universe is cyclical. Time is an illusion. None of this is cuasally related to our lives though so, smoke a bowl and relax man. It's all good.

The water thing is dumbed down.. a lot. Saline solutions have ALWAYS been good electrical conductors.. you just run into the problem that is also really good at rusting damn near everything that conducts the electrical charge. The breakthrough was more along the lines of finding a way to make the rusting either not happen, or in a way that doesn't interrupt the flow of electricity. Calcium does the same thing, it coats surfaces then prevents the flow of electricity. The discovery was more about the materials/techniques that allow water to be used effectively.

@@SeraphRyanindeed. In fact the power source of the Nautilus in the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is said to be aluminum that produces electricity via the salt in the sea water. So it’s not like the idea hasn’t been out there a while.

And a new study, unpublished yet, but discussed at an event, looks at the same data and shows that there may not actually be a Hubble Tension at all and it could all just be an acculutated mistake in how the data is being processed.

I had heard that many space related theories are essentially just speculation (very little evidentiary data) and we should not be surprised if a number of them prove to be wildly inaccurate.

It isn't failsafes. It more has to do with how the earliest organisms reproduced that way, but as we got more complicated, we started doing it in other ways, which are not really compatible with cloning. Basically just billions of years of evolution moving us away from that, making it very hard to get it to work now.
