I’m a satellite systems engineer who happened to stumble on your channel, and the 3D infographic you made to show how 4 satellites are needed to eliminate positional and temporal uncertainty is the best I’ve ever seen. Much better than anything I’ve picked up online or in textbooks. Your content is fantastic, keep it up!

This explains how the clock keeps extremely accurate time, but how does it get synchronized in the first place?

Synchronized how? Generally, we define some time to begin with and set all the clocks based around that time.

Not quite right mate…the cube moving through a 2D plane does NOT look like a square to a 2D plane inhabitant. Only a 3D person can look DOWN upon the plane to see a square. The plane inhabitant sees only the nearest edge of the square…so it looks like a line. He CAN move around the shape to understand it is a square, but not see it. It is the analogous concept to us understanding a 3D shape even though we don’t see all its surfaces at once.

I'd appreaciate it if you'd link the article where you found that simulation in the description. Also, if I were you I'd introduce the slices of the tesseracts by rotating it so that is goes through our world side first, making a rectangular prism (analagous to the rectangle formed when passing a cube edge-first into a 2D world).

The Fact The Sun is actually white, not yellow. It appears yellow to us because our atmosphere scatters the shorter wavelengths of light, making it appear more yellow.

Man I've been thinking about this recently The "perfectly" tuned scale just sounds so off and sickly to me, like it actually feels like im about to throw up and my senses are getting fucked. I've become so accustomed to 12 tet (at least on piano) that the timbre change is actually grating.

If you think the night sky on Earth is beautiful, then you might be wondering what it looks like on our own moon. But you won't really even see anything on there since our moon is full of dust and some ice which are pretty reflective. So instead of an assumed sky full of stars('cause you're a sky~ 'cause you're a sky full of stars, I'm gonna give you my heart~~), all you're gonna see is just Earth, plain old Earth...that is 4.543 billion years old. LOL!

Did you know that there's a possibility of a ninth planet lurking at the edge of our solar system? This hypothetical planet, often referred to as "Planet Nine" or "Planet X," is thought to be several times more massive than Earth and may orbit the Sun from a distance much farther than Neptune's orbit. Its existence is inferred from the peculiar orbits of some distant objects in the Kuiper Belt, but as of now, it remains undiscovered.

Have you ever seen children doodles about our sun, and coloring them in weird colors like green or black or blue? You know, some of them might be right! Despite most common belief, our sun isn’t red, orange, or yellow! Instead, if it were, you won’t be reading this right now. Our sun is actually green. It appears to be all those different colors due to the molecules in our atmosphere!

What would you say if I ask you what is the color of Neptune? Your first instinct might be blue, or more accurate, dark blue. Now I’ll ask you again. What is the color of Uranus? You might say blue again, or more precise, light blue. But in reality Neptune is actually also light blue! NASA just re-colored to make the Great Dark Spot more noticeable to the human eye.

Did you know that our sun is not the center of our solar system? Our own sun is actually rotating around an energy ball, or field, or whatever you want to call it, and our orbit is around the sun, meaning we are moving left and right in our orbit.

Here's how you imagine a 4d shape. Imagine a direction that doesn't exist in our perception, and put cubes in it. 3rd dimension has z y and z axis. 4th dimension has x, y , z, and w. Now imagine that the w axis isn't just a plane, but an entire volume that we can't see. Good luck. If 4th dimensional space exists, it is an entire extra 3d space that is somehow beyond our perception. And a 5d space would have an entire 4d space that 4d cant see. And so on.

I understand the concept as to why you've always see the North Star. My question is. Why after thousands of years has that star never moved. I would think all the billions of stars in our galaxy that are moving around the center of our galaxy that no star would stay in its exact location for that long.
@OnTheShouldersofScience
@OnTheShouldersofScience Ай бұрын
The star has actually moved over thousands of years. But NOT for the reason you say here. Almost every star we can see (and every bright-ish star for sure) is located in very close proximity to us in galaxy terms. If the galaxy were a city, Polaris might be our neighbor across the street. In actuality, we orbit the center of the Milky Way almost exactly together with Polaris. Give it more time, maybe billions of years, then things might change a lot more. The reason Polaris has shifted over time in because of our axial tilt which changes over the course of just thousands of years.
