This episode was by far one of the most "quite interesting" episode out of all the ones I've seen so far... quite a heavy dose of interesting and informative general knowledge!

Stephen may have apologised to us Swedes, but he should *really* be apologising to the Finns for even implying that saunas aren't the best thing to ever exist. I'm pretty sure that carries the death penalty over there.

There is one very smart John on this episode, and it's not John Lloyd. He's always sure of himself, though. Find his appearances on the Inifinite Monkey Cage if you want to listen to him tell panels of mathematicians and physicists how they don't know what they're talking about and should listen to him.

8:04 The first description of the Nazca Lines was by Pedro Cieza de León, in his Chronicle of Peru published in 1553, where he describes them as trail markers in the desert. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the scale of the geoglyphs would be revealed to the wider world, leading to the discovery of around 358 known geoglyphs to date. They have been dated back to 200 BC to 500 AD, made by the "Nazca" people. Stephen Fry can be a thick headed belligerent brainwasher sometimes, with his obscured unverified "facts". Makes me cringe when he starts acting like the protector of facts and mysteries, when he is just abominable whenever he puts up that condescending attitude passed under his british politeness, to reiterate inaccuracies as facts, when corrected by better informed panelists. I absolutely adore him otherwise, he is such a care bare.

Quite Interesting: The Bystander Effect was made up by the scientists who came up with it. Turns out the incident they built the theory on had, in fact, many people calling 911 anyway. They chose to ignore that fact and claimed no one called 911 so they could get a theory out of it.

My grandma designed and built her own circular straw house with dirt-filled rubber tires for the foundation and a greenhouse around the base, connected to a hollow floor...the heat from the greenhouse warms the floor inside. The center is held up by an upside-down tree, the roots acting as beams. It's utterly beautiful.

@27:58 Neutron Stars are hypothetical objects. The problem with this hypothesis is that neutrons in a lab when removed from an atom decay in 15 minutes into a proton and an electron and a photon. The claim is that gravity is so intense its stops this from happening. The problem with this is that gravity is an effect between two masses, not an effect unto its own mass. It may be consensus opinion, but to say it is knowledge is stretching the truth. At best one should say that they think these objects are Neutron Stars. Cheers ;)
@harvey8548 ай бұрын
If gravity is an effect of one mass upon another, then surely the neutrons within a neutron star exert gravitational attraction on each other? That is how all objects like planets, stars and black holes are held together. Gravity is also not the only force acting upon the neutrons in a neutron star; they are prevented from further collapse by neutron degeneracy pressure and I believe the strong force as well. About 2000 neutron stars have been discovered since the 1960s. Notable ones are the Crab pulsar, the Black Widow pulsar, PSR J0952-0607, and RX J1856.5−3754. I think it's safe to say that they do exist. If astronomers discover evidence to the contrary, then they will certainly adjust their models, but at the moment there's arguably more evidence for the existence of neutron stars than even the existence of black holes.
@user-ee5ts4lm1l8 ай бұрын
There are 2000 objects they have may named Neutron stars, but, there is no empirical evidence of them actually being neutron stars. Neutrons once removed from an atom decay onto a proton, electron and a photon. It is one thing to hypothesize that gravity is doing as you say, it is a whole other thing to prove that gravity is doing as you say. These are, like Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Black Holes hypothetical objects. Planet and stars are not held together by gravity. In QM, they pretty much ignore gravity as its effect is so inconsequential. The attractive force of the gravitational effect is 10^39 times weaker than the electric force. When Vera Rubin observed not enough mass in a galaxy to maintain its cohesion against its angular momentum it should have been seen as an invalidation of the theory that gravity was/is the dominant force in space. Rather than question their model, they invented a hypothetical stuff which cannot be found. This is called confirmation bias. The problem with astronomers is that they are for the most part a narrow minded lot who are attached to materialist reductionist mode of thinking. If they discover something that invalidates their model, they just make up some virtual or dark stuff, even though there is absolutely no physical evidence of it. Both Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the products of confirmation bias. If you want to believe in that these hypothetical stuffs do exist, by all means, go for it, it is your right to put your faith where you desire. But frankly, it is a load of hypothetical nonsense which from my perspective borders on pseudo science. I do not care what the majority of experts astronomers say, because a consensus belief is not evidence of anything but a belief. All these hypothetical objects are assumed to be as you say based on a narrow minded perspective supported by institutional tyranny. . @@harvey854

Will they ever get the direction of the transmitted GPS signals right?! They almost always think the device is sending the signal to the satellites. Just imagine how big a mobile phone (or even a pet GPS locator) would have to be and the energy it would consume, to be able to send a signal that far. That signal would have to also be sent back (doubling the measuring time), to get the distance to the device, which is needed for calculating the position.
