  8. My girlfriend was a type 1 diabetic. She also had kidney and heart disease. She looked healthy 5' 5" 120lbs. Less than a year into dating her she had a stroke. She told me she wouldn't live past 50 years old. She died when she was 37. Her name was Heather and she had two daughters.

  10. It's been almost two decades since a doctor explained insulin to me, and it still baffles me that my cells need a signal to remind them to not die but instead eat the ample food in the environment around them.

  11. One thing to remember is that the two wires being one meter apart have some capacitance between them, and such capacitance existing right from the start transfers some power to the lamp. as the switch turns on and voltage on the line flips. Veritasium's video is designed with all sort of clues and limitations around the problem that are hard to pick up. But at the end of the if we go with all limitations Veritasium imposes on his problem, he is right.

  14. For worried fliers, passenger aircraft already have good IMU systems to back up GPS, just not ultra accurate quantum IMUs yet. Jammed or spoofed GPS is annoying to pilots, but not necessarily dangerous. If it wasn’t something they couldn’t safely handle passenger flights would be canceled in those areas.

  20. I can't believe I've heard of laser cooling about a hundred times without hearing the term "Doppler cooling", which means I just ACTUALLY learned how it works, instead of just hearing it described to me. Thanx!!!

  21. Eureka moments in science can move science forward, but it's the "that's funny" moments by the observant that really moves things along.

  23. In fairness, I’m not very smart. But I’ve tried so many times to understand quantum entanglement and you single-handedly explained it to me in just a few simple sentences. I am eternally grateful. I can finally impress my grandmother.

  24. Hey! I’m the guy who invented the “NASA bike tire” and I agree that solid tires are a fantastic part of the solution. In fact, I’m running Tannus tires on the Schwinn featured partway through the video. I’m also running tubeless on my Esker MTB, and pneumatics on my Gunnar touring bike. Ultimately, a diversity of options will benefit the cycling community and I’m excited to see these innovations on the solid rubber tire—especially if the recyclability claims hold up. Similarly, re-treading a NiTi tire would be huge for sustainability. Until then, I recommend just squirting some sealant inside your pneumatic tubes. It’s quick, cheap, easy, can retrofit onto most bikes, and eliminates the vast majority of flats!
    825
  25. The fact that I, a relatively simple minded person, not only understood every word used in this video. Fully grasped the fundamental concepts used to achieve the desired result in the experiment, and ultimately understand how they work together to provide the desired results. Well that just blows my mind.

  26. Drilling down conventionally and then switching to the microwaves when you gain more with that process would be a better choice overall when the process is fully developed.

  27. Anyone who thinks quantum physics isnt useful has no idea how anything works. Its been useful since it started. Its the reason computers dont take up a whole bedroom.
    633
  28. This was a very nice point, I liked your thinking. I am not sure if you allow links, but I urge you to read "Understanding Electricity and Circuits: What the Text Books Don’t Tell You" by Ian M. Sefton from School of Physics at the University of Sydney (the paper is from 2002, and obviously, one can find a similar discussion in Feynman's Lectures). Derek's video is pretty much a repetition of that (which is also explained by Science Asylum before). I believe the reason why he called it a "lie" is to just resonate with that paper. Thanks for the video.
    606
  29. Well done! It's nice to watch a reasoned discussion of a potential asteroid impact rather than the sensationalist click-bait you typically see.

  30. If only my credit card debt could get upset by a cosmic ray :') Loved the video, hadn't considered that as an explanation for the glitch. I wonder if playing on a tall mountain could allow it to be reproduced more reliably.

  31. The point is now we have proven net gain is possible, now we have a reason to improve on the designs to get even more out of it, leading to the actual goal of commercialisation

  32. The Universe is not stranger than Einstein ever imagined; it is stranger than he wished it to be. He was perfectly capable of entertaining the same ideas as everyone else, but decided they didn't fit the tone of the Author he imagined.

  33. What I don't quite understand is why they did not measure the Hydrogen levels. Shouldn't that give a clear indication of whether electrolysis is taking place or am I missing something?

  35. Very cool to watch this video right after Veritasium's video on the blue LED so i can understand things like the band gap and valence bands and conduction bands.

  36. As a bioinformatician and someone who has Diabetes Type 1, I must say that if Novo Nordisk is able to push this through clinical trials successfully (which... realistically speaking is another 10 years or so) this can indeed really help people with diabetes. There is a huge catch however, while yes this feed is undeniably amazing, it does not cure the disease. Yes, administering insulin won't become as much of an accuracy art, but we'd still need to inject the new compound while monitoring glucose levels (as a really simple example; exercise for example can still cause hypoglycemia). This is by no means a dig at the amazing achievement, but it is still a very long ways away from actually curing diabetes.

  37. I work for a private fusion company, the work iter has done is invaluable to our mission I wish it the best and hope it succeeds. There is so much interesting science that has already been done by iter.

  38. Thank goodness this had a "So what?" chapter. Whenever I read or watch items concerning quantum theory I often end up wondering if it's significance is "locally real".

  40. Lol, the bloopers at the end were priceless. Here you are trying to prove something mundane that we all know happens and the ice gods just aren't letting you have it.

  41. Very interesting. Thank you. I'm 76 and learn something new every day.

  42. Been T1 diabetic for 20 years now and it’s always fun to follow these advancements (with realistic expectations) - real time digital glucose monitoring is probably the most life changing thing I’ve experienced. Great work and super interesting history too, I’ll refer to my urine when I have high blood sugar as honey going forward 😂
    411
  43. All I can say is thank you for working on this and bringing it to my attention. I've had type1 diabetes for 54 years and have been hoping for something like this every moment of those years and have been let down so many times after hearing about a great cure possibility which suddenly disappears from view so I really hope this succeeds and removes part of this burden from my life. I would even ask to be a guinea pig for when human trials start as this sounds very positive. God bless.😊

  44. As a teenager, I put over 2,000 miles on a set of airless tires with decades-old technology. One could say it was "just commuting", but it was also from one county to another, with the requirement that I never show up late for work. So...a valuable solution to an important problem, with zero downtime, reasonably good efficiency . . . and low comfort in that era of rubber tire. I'm excited to see first-hand what decades of improvement can deliver in the most maintenance-heavy area of a bike.

  45. One plastic recycling technology that I think deserves more attention is plastic pyrolysis. In a nutshell, you heat plastic in an oxygen-free chamber to evaporate it and then collect it in a still. This turns it into oil which can be further refined into fuel like gasoline and diesel, in addition to producing other products. Granted, burning this fuel will still produce CO2 among other things, but I would think this is still less harmful putting plastic in landfills or even burning it in incineration plants. Not to mention it could help to ease some of the fuel prices we have. What do you guys think?

  47. I just wanted to address a very common (and natural) misunderstanding some people are having! Lots of people think that what was creates was just a simulation of a black hole's singularity, but this is so much more than that. It's a bit of a read so buckle up! Disclaimer: I have spent a lot of time trying to understand this, but my own field of study only brushes up against quantum mechanics, so someone who is academically active in the field may be able to point out some inaccuracies in my explanations. There's two very natural misconceptions that lead to the idea that what they produced was not an "actual" wormhole, but just a simulation. The first misconception is that a wormhole only refers to the Einstein-Rosen bridge from the ER paper, which describes a theoretical wormhole created by the extreme curvature of spacetime in a black hole. The second misconception is from the fact that nobody does a very good job at explaining what a quantum computer actually is, and the fact that they are called 'computers' lends itself to the incorrect but understandable assumption that they are just simulating something. I'll tackle these misconceptions in order: ===WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE EINSTEIN ROSEN BRIDGE=== General relativity is probably the single most successful theory in all of physics. It describes space and time not as two separate things, but as a unified four-dimensional spacetime - and most importantly for this discussion, this spacetime has a bad habit of bending and skewing in the presence of concentrated, non-moving energy - or as we call it, mass. After they were mathematically proven to exist, black holes caused some issues, because the math that proves that the must exist, also completely stops working once you get to the singularity. The ER paper mentioned in this video proposed a very mathematically beautiful solution to this problem: Based on the foundation that spacetime can curve and distort, instead of concentrating energy to an infinitely small, infinitely dense point that messes everything up, a singularity must instead connect with another point in distant spacetime. This is what we usually think of as a wormhole, and one might mistakenly call an "actual" wormhole. However, I think we can all agree that anything that connects two points of distant spacetime would be a wormhole, so if you could create one through some OTHER mechanism, it would still be a wormhole - would it not? Up until recently, there was no reason to believe that there was another method through which an ER-bridge could be created through which something could move, so it would seem pointless to make the semantic point I just made above. In the EPR paper referenced in the video, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, not content with the seeming violations of causality that quantum entanglement caused, proposed wormholes as a possible explanation for this supposed faster-than-light transmission of information - but as this bridge would not be able to move macroscopic systems across space and time, so it seems like a different idea, so it seems open and shut that you cannot have a real wormhole without gravitation. This is why the discovery of Dr. Maldacena in 1997 (4:56) and subsequent discoveries - that is, the theory of ER=EPR is so huge. It's incredibly complicated, and even if I was capable of explaining it all, this is all brand new physics that hasn't been fully fleshed out - but what it comes down to is that not only can entangled systems on a very small scale display properties similar to the wormholes in a black hole, they are exactly the same phenomenon. That means that wormholes are not just a phenomenon of gravity, but in fact a phenomenon of quantum mechanics, and that it should be possible to create a wormhole by entangling quantum particles on a smaller scale. So now we know that (if ER=EPR) we can create a wormhole by using entangled quantum particles in the right way... That sounds hard. Now what? Enter Dr. Spiropulu and her team. ===WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH QUANTUM COMPUTERS=== Quantum mechanics is complicated to say the least, so I'm going to assume you've made yourself familiar with some of the basics of it - at the very least, the idea of quantum superposition, i.e. that quantum particles can only be described in terms of where they might be according to a probability function, until "measured" - aka, until they become entangled with you, the observer. This is important. What quantum computing does is that it weaponizes these properties. It's extremely easily to accidentally interfere with a quantum particle and thus collapse its waveform, eliminating its quantum mechanical properties - but if you can avoid that by minimizing any direct or indirect interaction with it, by removing any air and supercooling the system down to superconductive temperatures, you can send an electron or photon through a hell of an obstacle course, basically a "circuit", and only collapse its waveform at the end, producing a quantum interference pattern that tells you every single way it could get through that circuit. In a way the famous double slit experiment is the first ever quantum computer, which asked the simple question "what different ways can a photon get through two slits" - and if you measured ahead of time which slit it passed through, you are zeroing in on a different, but related question: Of the ways a photon can pass through two slits, what subset of them involves passing through this one particular slit? It's not a particularly helpful question to ask if you're trying to compute something, but it IS a very helpful question if you're trying to understand the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics. See, that's what a quantum computer does: It is not a simulation of quantum systems, it is a system to build a more complex quantum system without collapsing the waveform, and then to observe the probability space that emerges. ===IN CONCLUSION === So what does all this mean for this video? To summarize, when they say they built a wormhole in a quantum computer, they don't mean they simulated a black hole. They mean they worked with Google Quantum to physically build a quantum system which was theorized to produce a wormhole and send an electron or photon (In this case an electron) through the system in such a way that it would create one interference pattern (probability space) if it traveled through a wormhole, and a different one if it didn't - and when the dust settled and they got the quantum system stable and looked at the interference pattern, it showed that they had in fact *physically created a quantum system wherein an electron passed through a wormhole*. So, in conclusion, I hope this convinces you that they did, in fact, create a quantum wormhole right here on earth :) P.S. There's a lot of other things going on here. For example, this whole thing about De Sitter space. I can't get into it now, but this is all consistent with expectations, and unfortunately does mean that we're probably not going to be zooping across spacetime through wormholes anytime soon. Still though, it's very cool.

  51. Good explanation, I worked in a R&D department at a major corporation. There's basically 3 phases. Step 1 is see if the goal is even chemically possible, not looking at any other factors. Step 2 is called a pilot lab and their job is to now figure out how to make the chemistry actually happen. Now we're seeing the complicated systems and machines being built and mechanical engineering (which is where we are now with fusion). Again, not focused on efficiency, just how do we build a system to make what worked on paper, happen in real life. And then once you figure out to actually make the process work, step 3 is production scale. So now you look at how to make the system more efficient, improved materials or new technologies etc but all based on what was created in the pilot lab. Remember, every tube, wire, pipe, control panel, literally everything in the building and the building itself had to be created and designed from scratch just to even see if this theory would work.

  52. It's so refreshing to hear well explained, well reasoned and insightful commentary. The subject is somewhat depressing but the video was spot on.
    275
  53. As a science teacher, I was elated to hear you suggest that Derek's line of "these are the lies..." is a bit unfair, and I always make the same point you do to my classes about how science works on models, and learning a simplified model is not a 'lie'. However, on the subject of units, I felt personally attacked ;)

  55. Hi, I'm a second year PhD student in nanomedicine. The tech shown in this video is clever and exciting, but functionally not dissimilar to formulations I've used preclinically before, and will face all the same issues current actively targeted nanoparticles do. Most importantly, there is not much difference at all between cancer cells and our cells, only slight differences such as overexpression of certain receptors and different metabolism rates. The purpose of a technology like the one shown is to increase the therapeutic window of an anti-tumoural agent, but it will still have a limited window. This vector will have off target effects - there is simply no way they are only targeting cancer cells. There is no treatment which only targets cancer cells. These innovations take decades to reach clinic. As we improve our biological understanding of tumours, we will see the viability of this technology improve. Personally, I think this technology has a great use case in anti-bacterial treatment, as viral vectors can exclusively target bacteria. I'll do some reading about this - super interesting and ty for the video.

  56. Fantastic! What a great way of explaining things. It’s really great to see other academics on YT. I wish more of us would venture into making videos. But I also know how ridiculously time-consuming it is. Thanks.

  68. Wild stuff. Can’t believe “it’s the universe real” is such a reasonable question with such a complicated answer. Excellent explanation!

  69. Just wanted to point out, as a graphic artist and Civilization 6 fanatic, the shape you used when talking about a shape with six sides (at 3:10), in fact, had seven sides.
    148
  70. I really like the way that this video condenses the complex ideas of quantum mechanics into an ideal form that feels mentally digestible. It's just enough to make you think without overwhelming the viewer with too much of the reality behind it, so to speak. Keeping with the high level explanation, I'm curious how retrocausality affects the function of a quantum computer. If retrocausality is the explanation, and the block universe is what we are experiencing, then by attempting to communicate information across a vast distance by changing the state of one particle to excite the change in another can't really happen, right? By changing the state of an observed particle, you would then be altering the original local correlation between the two particles so that the information was always what you wanted to convey from the very beginning. I suppose for a human moving through time relative to the observed instant, the state of the information changed as they expected it to, in the present. Big picture, if the past could be changed, we would never know it, because we would experience the causal result as if it were always the truth regardless. So retrocausality doesn't really change the way we are doing things, because they will behave the same they always have from our point of view. They always were, even when that past state is altered.
    144
  71. Wow, this was one of the most interesting "docu-drama" videos I've seen in quite a while. Thanks for all your work to make it!

  73. death, which people tend not to like.. pure gold.
    134
  74. I agree with what you said near the end: The engineering to construct and conduct the experiment is wonderful to behold. However, the significance of what the results really mean is lost on me. Keep it up Ben. Love these videos. 👍 A sign of a sequel video to explain more would definitely grab my attention. 🙂
    133
  75. I was confused what was up with this video, because my class did a similar lab in high school around 2013. Then I did some googling and figured out that the lab we did was designed by Dr. Ratcliff, and our class was one of the first to try it. It was kind of amazing getting to do actual biology when I was only 15, though I remember the frustration of not always getting the results we were hoping to get through the lab.
    130
  76. Awesome video! The interesting thing is that the "it melts slightly under pressure" explanation was parroted as fact for so long. There's an old Feynman video (1986-ish) where he gives that explanation.
    128
  77. Holy crap. One can only imagine the level of chemical hysteria they produce when confronted with a combine harvester.

    96
  82. This was great to watch, thank you! The explanation of “it is a rail gun with one important constraint removed” is such a cool and satisfying element of engineering: just when you think everything‘s already been invented, someone pulls out an assumption and unlocks a whole new approach. Brilliant!
    94
  83. For retrocausality to work wouldn't it imply that the past not only still exists but it's also malleable? While it's an interesting concept I somehow find superdeterminism easier to accept.
    94
  84. Love having reports from people who actually understand stuff. THANK YOU!
    91
  85. The look on his face when you gesticulated with it in your hands was priceless. The fact that he fore went his natural instinct of ripping it out of your hands, and let you keep holding it... shows how much faith in humanity scientists have. 😊

  93. for me living with adhd, free will has always felt like an illusion. alot of my action is dictated not by MY wishes. but by my minds whims, mood, and focus. hearing about the whole split brain experiment in my childhood i kind of have accepted an idea that the self is less like you are in control of who you are and rather. you have a collection of selves that bicker and argue inside your head about what you will do, what you believe, what you think about, etc. productivity is when interests aligns amongst the "selves" and such. not to say that you cannot work to improve yourself if you have no free will cause like. there are aspects of your self which WISH to be better. one just has to focus on those. the illusion of will at least lets you choose which aspect of yourself to give more priority to. free will is not as big of an issue for me as is "how i define myself" and i think thats really a big factor that affects my actions and behavior. am i those aspects of me which bring about laziness? am i those aspects of me which are spiteful and sour toned? the answer is both, BUT i can also define myself as my better aspects. i am also me who seeks my happiness, the me who seeks self improvement, the me who draws art because its fun. excuse me for my nonsense. just wanted to chatter

  100. "The landscape has changed, because we now have achieved gain." This is exactly the part tons of people missed about the success of NIF. We can now see the finish line, so we have the tools to chart a course in that direction. It also makes funding easier to justify. Instead of pointing off into the void, we have a flag out there and we can say "See that? Let's go there." This will hopefully snowball, and hopefully means those "20 years away" timelines are effectively frozen.
    70
  101. This is a great video about a not-so-great reality. I sincerely appreciate the depth of information you provide. Keep up the fantastic work!
    69
  102. Thanks for posting this longer video and for the First Light team for allowing you to film for us. Inspirational and an excellent example of the scientific process. Try fail, try fail, try fail...oh wait...that fail turned out to be a success! (the build up of carbon in the target chamber)

  105. Thank you for providing a link to an open-access paper. The public must demand that all publicly funded research is published open access. If this means that authors and their institutions must pay thousands of dollars for each publication, then so be it. This will encourage more interdisciplinary collaboration and more research participation from undergraduate students. More coauthors implies more cost sharing for risky theoretical projects that are unlikely to receive funding.

  116. Good News is it brings more diverse experience on the focus. Could result in other interactive designs. It flexes the work and can open more options that yet may rise beyond hypotheses. Very good. Wonderfully presented. I appreciate knowing more about it. Certainly appreciate those on the project you have described.

  123. Thank you for another great video! I hope the oncolytic virus in this video succeeds in becoming an effective cancer therapy, though at 5-10 years it'll be a while before we find out. In any case the larger field will no doubt grow and provide many more potential therapies. With so many possibilities out there, surely some of them will become gamechanging and history making treatments! It really feels like we're getting closer and closer to a world where cancer is a treatable disease.

  124. Despite the fact that the thought experiment allows for no resistance in the wire... Veritasium is making several mistakes. The amount of energy required to light the bulb must be considered as "some reasonable" amount of current for the Light to turn on, NOT "any ridiculously small amount of current". The claim is that the when the switch is closed, the current starts moving which induces an electromagnetic field (EM field) in the wire near the switch. This means that an Electromagnetic Wave will be produced and start radiating from the wire and will reach the light bulb after traveling only 1 meter. However, Veritasium ignores the fact that the EM Field traveling thru the air or free space will be inversely proportionate to the square of the distance. Therefore the energy reaching the bulb after 1 meter of travel in the air, will be very very small. The counter claim would be that the amount of current needed to turn the light bulb on is very very small, and any amount of current would turn the light bulb on, but then why bother with wires at all? It makes no sense since in that case, one simply has to touch the battery or touch a switch connected to the battery, and not even have the wires present. So it makes no sense to setup a giant thought experiment requiring 300,000km of wire with a switch if all Veritasium wanted to demonstrate was that EM fields radiate. So, we must conclude that Veritasium earnestly believes that the energy in the EM field traveling thru 1 meter in the air is enough to power a regular light bulb with regular amounts of current. But he is wrong. Some will say that Veritasium requires "ANY" amount of current to be acceptable. But the counter to that is ... no. He claims that once current reaches the bulb then the bulb instantly turns on. That current must be considered as "the required current" to activate the bulb and not "any" current... otherwise, mere movement of anyone to even turn the switch... the blood flowing in your body, etc would activate the bulb thru induction. so since that is a preposterous assumption that such a low amount of current would activate the bulb we must then conclude that the bulb does require a standard amount of current to turn it on and simply that it must turn on immediately when receiving that current rather than a delayed effect in time due to filament heating / driver charging etc. I also find it immensely frustrating that the "papers" provided by the experts are in no way "proving" any of Veritasium's claims. They are not 1 for 1 and they are extrapolating two or more very different experiments. Additionally, they are simulations and then those simulations are extrapolated. Going back over the Power point provided by Veritasium shows that at 2.5 seconds only 0.25 volts are measured (under the simulation). That is FAR LESS than the energy needed to light a bulb. Extrapolating to a 12volt car battery and light bulb we get ~1/10th of a 12 volt battery's voltage which simply cannot light a bulb. So the answer is that current necessary to light the bulb properly must travel 300,000km down the wire in order for the bulb to receive enough current to turn it on. So the amount of time to travel that distance is the amount of time it will take for the bulb to see that current. Additionally, it is not constructive to claim that we have been told "Lies" about the nature of the electrical energy. Those are theories. Not lies. It does science a Great Disservice to rebrand past theory as "lies". @Dr Ben Miles... I agree with you on almost every point. @Veritasium, with respect, It devalues your integrity to use these methods to drive conversation. I much prefer your older more conscientious methodology where you are more careful about the things you say. I am especially focusing here on the claim regarding "Lies" in your video. Remember that your value to the scientific community is in your integrity not in your hype.

  131. Good video, glad to see someone tackling exactly why this sort of TV 'endorsement' by proxy is so damaging. As someone with ME I'd just like to add that our primary symptom is not actually fatigue, it is post Exertional Malaise - which is a giant flare up of all our symptoms including feeling flu like and very unwell indeed, caused by going even slightly over our physical limitations, anything that uses energy counts - including talking, reading, and even THINKING for people at the very severe end! Thinking uses energy on a cellular level - how else would it happen after all. I would appreciate it if more people could start making sure they mention Post Exertional Malaise since it really is the symptom that rules them all, so to speak. It is what rules my entire life and it's risky - trigger it often enough or big enough, and you don't really recover back to where you were, you stay stuck at a lower level of functioning, it literally makes you sicker than you were. Over time some people end up dead, because it's so incredibly difficult to control and keep inside your limits. When 'over doing it' can simply mean you had an upset tummy and went to the loo a few times too many that day, or had to pick something up from the floor, or simply moved around in bed a bit too much that day, it is unbelievably difficult to stay inside your limits and prevent triggering PEM, many people don't manage it and therefore deteriorate over the years getting sicker and sicker. It's so poorly understood by medical staff that going to hospital becomes something to fear. Research is coming along though and I love that this video talks about how we need more people investing in genuine medical entrepreneurship, moving real, science evidence backed treatment forwards. In all areas, but hopefully soon for ME too.

  135. Thank you for this very interesting analysis of the topic. I see most of the comments below have focussed on the time to commercialisation, but I think the real payload of this video is how mathematical modelling is changing the landscape. Modelling physics requires that we understand enough of the way the universe works such that we can codify a small part of it mathematically. When you are breaking new ground as nuclear fusion is then we see our understanding being challenged every step of the way. The point about this method is that the more we know, the faster we make progress. There are two benefits that pop out of this - first we have a viable fusion reactor, which in itself is a game changer for climate change and geopolitics of the Middle East. - and secondly we have a set of tools which mean we can take greater strides in understanding fundamental physics. Both of those things are game changers and I applaud the progress being made by this team. Congrats - and thank you.

  138. I haven't even finished this video yet, but it amazes me how many things that would change the world, such as Fusion, a cure for aging, a cure for cancer etc, have much less funding that you would expect. You would think that almost unlimited funding would be available for them since they are so important. It is something to see such a lovely physicist.
    28
  139. Great video. Detailed enough to really get the interest going, explained in a clear non sensational manner and such that I will now have to follow this project regularly. :). Obviously it’s brilliant that the team are so willing to show and tell in enough detail to be meaningful. I do hope we can have future follow ups on this as things progress 🤞 for the team !

  140. Very informative, thanks a lot! Interesting topic as well!

  142. Absolutely fascinating research.
    27
  143. I'm not sure when commercial fusion will be a thing as I'm just an average Joe. But I strongly hope it to be before 2050. It will be a greatest breakthrough toward carbon neutral, or even negative carbon society.
    27
  144. Combine this with all the longevity and age reversal research that is being done and our expectations of life and death may drastically change in the coming decades.
    27
  145. Thanks for the increased use of metric! At 8:38: 10,000ft² = 929m², so about 1000m². Interestingly then we now know the scale factor from the original 1cm² panel: 1000/(.01²) = 1,000,000, which gives us a much better direct sense of the scale.
    26
  146. Very good explanation and the first I encountered stating that the mechanism itself is not yet known. It's definitely the biggest missing part - to propose a way this actually works. Nevertheless, I now really understand the importance of this research. Thanks to you :)
    26
  147. Its looking like the BBC have broken advertising rules, an article published today says the ASA have said there is a clear problem and have gone straight to enforcement rather than doing the usual initial investigation. ME patients deserve real scientific research and protection from predatory businesses such as Acu Seeds. Giselles story has changed so much over the past few years that many people even doubt the validity of her personal story which her pitch on the tv show was based around.
    25
  148. You're a nano physicist? You so seem taller on camera. <rimshot> Seriously, thank you for going over this topic - I knew my skepticism wasn't unjustified. Thank you for your work!

  151. Thanks Ben. I really like your even handed approach to unexplained phenomena. Some folks want to cram an explanation in where it doesn't fit just to get on with the podcast. I appreciated your willingness to say 'we don't know' and talking about what it would take to find out. - Hope you get AC soon. It's 105 degrees F here and when the AC goes down it's treated as a life-threatening emergency.

  155. Most concise, complete, and clearest explanation I’ve seen or read. Thank you.
    22
  156. I don't know if you're aware of it, but there is a fascinating book that really documents the start of the "fusion is always 10 years away" idea, which I think you'd enjoy. It's called "PROJECT SHERWOOD: The U.S. Program in Controlled Fusion", published in 1958 as part of the declassification of the U.S. research into fusion reactions, and contains detailed reports on the U.S.'s research projects from 1951 to 1958. That puts it almost perfectly at the cusp of where people were starting to grasp how difficult a problem this was, and the project reports are detailed enough that you really get the perspective of seeing what that realization like at the time, to the people who were figuring it out. It's almost heartbreaking watching them get to the top of the first hills expecting to be making good progress, and then seeing the expanse of mountain still to climb that was now visible, especially with the hindsight of knowing that even that was a small fraction of what was truly ahead. Even in the dry scientific writing, some of that sense of dauntedness comes through.

  160. One approach to reduce plastic pollution is to move toward more biodegradable forms of plastic. Lots of research is needed, but then we can still keep the convenience of plastic, supply chains can gradually transform over to these new kinds, and the problem will become more manageable.

  164. 1:32 The surname Goeze is of German origin and is typically pronounced as “GUR-tsuh” or “GOH-tsuh”, depending on regional accents and variations. The “oe” in German often sounds like the German “ö,” which is similar to the English “ur” in “burn,” and the “z” is pronounced like a soft “ts.”

  169. A key value proposition of small sats is low cost. However, SpinLaunch pushes more cost into designing for high G forces. It makes great sense for SpinLaunch to provide a library of tested common components. But every satellite will have its domain specific electronics that must take high G. into consideration. Certainly worth pursuing, but the economics distorts a bit.
    18
  170. That example at the end, of a scientist to afraid to publish a proof because the "scientific" community can be so harsh with people with new ideas, that tells it all. It's the main problem in science, most of people just repeat what is deemed "true" before them and are ready to stone anyone with a new idea. Just ask John Bell ...

  174. This was a really lovely summary and story, especially about your involvement and hearing a bit of BTS about a science start up. I think it’s fair to say I’m a lot less optimistic about the timescales involved than you might be, and I think using words like cure or “we did it”b are premature but I hope I’m proved a big Debbie Downer. Congratulations to you and the rest of the team 👏

  176. I thought the definition was reasonably clear, it's when two photons (say) have polarisations which are individually random but which also correlate perfectly. Sound's like it's the paper that's muddying the water. Anyway great stuff, thanks -- [no relation btw]

  180. I'd heard of FLF and even seen videos of visits but this is the best I've seen. Thanks for posting this. This whole approach looks really encouraging and the team behind it inspires a lot of confidence. I was thinking about that 1ns frame-rate camera and its memory limitations. At that frame rate the memory needs to be so close to the point of data generation. That must be quite a feat of engineering on its own. (Obviously I know that FLF didn't design and build the camera, or I assume not, but respect to whatever company did. I suspect it's expensive!)

  181. 3:28 “…so long as you can psychologically get past that it’s almost all recycled urine…” Well, yes, Earth’s water has been recycled innumerable times. Every glass if water you drink has some component of water that has passed through Napoleon and a t.rex. Only a minuscule amount of water is truly virgin, never-gone-through-someone’s-bladder.

Not sure how accurate that is so don’t quote me. But I would be very interested.

Then it becomes clear, that the mirror doesn’t flip vertical or horizontal. What’s left is left, what’s up is up, no matter if in front of the mirror or in the picture we see.

  208. Alot of Northern towns and reserves in Canada have high expense fuels to generate their electrical needs. Diesel generators which are aging out, aswell causing greenhouse gas emissions need replacing, Nuclear diamond batteries , maybe part of the answer. Perhaps you would consider a segment on compact reactors, "rtg"s and other designs, that would be swell. Keep up the good work sir..

  211. In order to not break the timeloop, I pressed the Like-button ;) Could you please make a video regarding how the second law of thermodynamics doesn't allow Time Symmetry. It seems very counterintuitive. If time was to move backwards, then entropy would "move" backwards/allowing entropy to decrease.
    11
  212. Great video Dr Ben Miles! Very informative and amazing! Seeing those cute bats makes me want one as a pet 😂 I live in Manitoba and a long time ago i heard that one way to help the environment is to buy/make a bat house to help bats live in the city since they are a cornerstone species. Would a slightly higher city population of bats increase the spread of diseases amongst animals and humans or is it such a low population of bats already that increasing it by 50% wouldnt change disease spread but would help nature with the other ways that diverse ecosystems benefit?

  215. I saw something about these about 6 years ago... They've got the technology to produce these in mass quantities I should expect.. Plastic is a big problem, I prefer authentic personally ie wood glass stone etc.. But then there's the problem of harvesting these things because their poo will likely be toxic to the environment diversity in some way.. Thanks, hopeful but there's still question marks 🙏

  216. Always interesting to hear the reasons something in a movie does not comply with the real world but not let it ruin your experience from watching it. I have no issues in hearing this stuff and then enjoying a movie anyway. If you do, you are being petty or you are a Ken or Karen. I would like to see more physic explanations on other movies or more of this one. : )

  217. Thx for the video! I just discovered this channel and subscribed. What helped me the most is understanding the energy gain differential. I had heard both 150% and 1% which was confusing to me. This does put it into perspective that there's a lot of work to be done before this is commercially viable.

  219. Ben….I have been watching your videos since your grad school days (the one about the apple falling). Simply terrific. My particular fav was the Minkowski video……wonderful stuff. I'm a geophysicist by profession and I love your approach to physics and the world around us. Todays world is filled with great science writers, I think I have read almost all of them (Jim Baggot is a special favourite). Nevertheless, our social media/digital obsessed world needs a new, media savvy "town cryer". I nominate you. The complete antithesis of the stodgy, elbow patched, unintelligible Oxford Physics professor. The general public's knowledge (at least in the USA) is sadly and completely lacking. We need a star…………….most are a bit tired of Neil deGrasse Tyson (he is terrific, but comes across as a science geek, know-it-all…………..a bit of a turn off), and you fit the role perfectly. So lookout Brain Greene, Ben is in town. William

  224. Good presentation of a complex subject, deserves 100K views by now rather than what it has so far. If the governments of the 1st World spent just 5% of their national budgets that they're currently focusing on geriatric medicine, fire-fighting the effects of aging on the body, on R&D in this area instead, it would hugely expedite research outcomes, & - if it works - would eliminate the cost of geriatric medicine that's such an immense financial drain on nations' treasuries.

  231. Aerospace engineering is fascinating, the amount of regulations surrounding the development of any aircraft component is immense, which makes innovation in the industry extremely expensive and risky. That makes any sincere attempts at innovation in the aerospace industry extremely impressive and commendable. I hope they succeed!

  234. Ah, so you are here. You made two (or was it 3?) videos about quantum mechanics/science which I found very helpful. I think your channel was called something 'apple' some reference to the Newton parable. I'm an electronics engineer and I think your reaction to Veritasium's video is accurate, esp that antenna bit. We practising engineers have known for a long time that electric wires generate EM waves, so it is not a surprise to us that EM waves propagate when a circuit is closed. For DC, this happens when the switch is first closed which results in an impulse function and its inherent frequencies. Then it settles into a DC state. As always this transient EM wave is too weak to affect anything outside the wire (insulation playing a part as well). But in-circuit, that can cause problems, why we electronic engineers often design dampening circuits to negate this transient impulse spike. If Veritasium was electronics trained, he probably wouldn't even need to do this thought experiment.

  235. I found this video very motivating. It looks like a very challenging but fulfilling pursuit. P.S. I loved your videos back when I was still deciding what undergrad to do so it's great to see this channel back in action when I'm deciding on my next steps.

  236. Very interesting! generally I'm a very well motivated person, but I do spend time, time by time, to stay motivated and to remind myself of the reason I'm doing something ( especially for long running tasks ), so I would definitely welcome an enhancement, given that it's safe and sound. but I think it can be mostly helpful for people suffering from long-term deppresion and alike.

  237. SUMMARY: 🍄 Magic mushrooms have been used in spiritual contexts for thousands of years. The active compound psilocybin binds to serotonin receptors and causes powerful effects. 🌌 Psilocybin increases connections between neurons - 10% more connections and 10% larger. This may help treat depression which is linked to neuronal atrophy. 📈 In studies, a single dose of psilocybin led to a large decrease in depression scores compared to therapy alone. 60-70% of treatment resistant patients saw substantial, ongoing relief. 🤔 Hallucinations may be important for therapeutic benefits, so 'tripless' psychedelics may not work as well. Psilocybin shows months of benefit after one dose, unlike daily antidepressants. 😵 There are side effects like anxiety and paranoia. Set and setting are very important - patients need supervision from a psychologist. Treatments are currently very expensive. 🎓 More research is needed, but it is promising for certain patients. Australia recently approved psychedelics as medicine, so more access will enable larger studies. 🧠💊

  242. I'm writing up my PhD in Medical Physics at the moment. I have several papers but they're in a scattershot of tangentially related areas (and they're also a bit crap if I'm honest, one got 8 citations at least...), so I don't really feel like the expert of some niche area like you suggest I might feel. I think the idea that you can commercialise your research shows that your PhD was in a more applied area, there is literally no way you could commercialise any aspect of my research, it's too 'pure', theoretical nanoscale radiation transport simulations etc. I do struggle with the extremely isolating social circumstances of the degree, I like working in a "team" but a PhD (at least for me) is 98% solo work. I think there are some additional employment opportunities my degree will make available to me, given my field is medical and medical always has some funding, however the job market will always be tough. I've decided my priority is to find work in my home city, as that's where my family, friends and hobbies are. I'm happy to step sideways or completely out of my field in order to do that, rather than prioritising staying in medical physics, even to take a paycut. Ironically a PhD has taught me how much I value my non-work social connections and personal outdoor hobbies over what I actually do at work. Still I'll be aiming for the world of medical physics at the start! I wonder if we will see a resurgence in local industry due to COVID. COVID has highlighted the weaknesses of a global economy, of outsourcing your industry to other countries. Hopefully there will be a bit of a local STEM employment boom in the next few years as a consequence of that! Plus there's always money in medical right? ;)

  249. Your channel is absolutely gold. The other day I started thinking on these two types of tech you mentioned, but had absolutely no clue it was already a named trend. Your channel is really giving me inspiration and new ideas for the future. And hopefully, once I'm done studying engineering I'll put some of these ideas into practice, and I'll remember how on a certain level I owe it to your videos.

  250. I have a PhD in one niche area of the STEMosphere, however, of the Deep Tech startups in my domain, I can say that ~80% are self-evidently flawed. I am sure the same is true for areas I do not understand. So I would say that if you don't understand what you're investing in, it's closer to gambling than investing

  262. Very cool video, I love your channel, just found it! 🙂 I tried using trend prediction from the study of Chaos Theory to win at Blackjack in the casinos. Chaos Theory shows that the odds of any given coin toss are not 50%, that is, each flip shouldn't be considered by itself, independent of the others. There ARE runs of 'good luck' and 'bad luck', and counterintuitively, the longer a run goes, the more likely it is to continue. Statisticians don't like this, but the data from the study of dynamical systems show it to be true. (Regardless of whether they can explain it, it's still true.) And of course you are right, casinos capp the maximum bet so you can't employ the 'double your bet' strategy to win using that method. Love this video. 🙂

  264. Great video - thanks. But I was a little disappointed that you made no mention of the great British idea of the Skylon and the Sabre Engine, which also uses a pre-cooling system. I believe it converts from a Jet engine to a Rocket engine, at sufficient speed & altitude. The Skylon was a brilliant concept, but sadly, like a lot of good British ideas, always short of funding. Maybe you could make a video about it and give an update on what - if anything - has happened to the Skylon and the Sabre engine. Thanks again.

  270. The presenter was careful to say ‘when on a trip’ - the charge rate decreases rapidly above 80% so sure, you could charge to 100% (although probably degrade battery lifetime in the process) but the recharge time would be significantly longer (>hour). On a trip, I covered a lot more ground in a day by recharging to just 80% and stopping more frequently. At home, I slow charge to 100% overnight - works great for 95% of everyday driving around town but obviously doesn’t work for long distance travel.

  272. Pretty exciting, I wonder what happens if you accidently puncture it, and what the recycling process will entail. I think there's a good chance something like this will enter a consumer device such as a smart watch or airpods within the next 25-40 years. It will be interesting to see how efficient we get with electronic devices. If we achieve roomtemp superconductors, I could envision an eInk display watch taking a few milliwats an hour, which might negate the need for low voltage longterm nuclear batteries, since you could generate electricity with photovoltaics and an accelerometer on the watch.

  278. the 3rd solution, while effective, is not very successful. As you said, it has been implemented in some countries but ig the problem with that is that we are very much dependent on plastic, we cannot just let it go. I think educating the population and maybe increasing prices on plastics that are less recyclable. this might encourage people not to just throw away plastic and find ways to reuse them in some form. at least until we find a way to deal with the excessive plastic that is harming the environment. this is just my thought. would love to hear more form the others.

  283. Thank you for this video! I'd like to add few additional really important things: Theranos was located in Silicon Valley, the center of high tech, but in the same neighborhood are hundreds of biotech companies. Theranos initially tried and failed to get biotech investors - the biotech VC's saw that the science was dubious and walked away. Theranos also had several early partnerships with pharma companies, including Pfizer, who also walked away because they saw that the technology didn''t work as advertised. The only investors they were able to get were people who knew nothing about science. Elizabeth Holmes wanted to fashion herself after Steve Jobs, but Theranos wasn't a high tech company, it was a medical device company, a very different beast. As you pointed out, a 19 year old college dropout can learn to code and make something really cool, but biotech is much more complicated. The logistical issue of "trying" to run 200 assays on a minute sample of blood aside, they had to figure out how to miniaturize all the different assays, validate them, and get them approved by the FDA. I work in biotech/pharma and it takes a LOT of work to get even a single assay validated and approved by the FDA, and you need to know what you're doing. Theranos got advice on the regulatory path they should take to do this (i.e. how to get the assays approved by the FDA), but Elizabeth thought she was smarter than the experts. Hubris - it'll get you every time.

  286. Thank you for this most interesting (and somewhat scary) video! "...If these images become commonplace, easily scattered across the Internet, constantly in your newsfeed, what happens? Just like the instant access of the Internet has dulled our attention spans and kept us hungry for the next novel thing, will this devalue our own imaginations, because we can create without consequence or without effort?" That's a darn good question. I wish I could just say no, this kind of AI will help us use our imaginations in ways we normally don't use them now because it's too difficult or costs too much - but that's just some people, the ones who are already creatively motivated to express themselves. What about the rest of us, the majority who are just consuming information? Will we lose interest in art itself, because "anybody can do that?" Wish I knew the answer to your question. "In training an AI we are teaching it about our world. If we aren't careful we'll imprint the imperfections of our society into the brain of that AI. You're only as good as the examples you learn from, which is true both for people as well as for artificial intelligence." This is another extremely fascinating subject. I'm not sure I agree with the statement "you're only as good as the examples you learn from," but I agree you only start out as good as the examples you've learned from. Humans can learn on their own by rational deduction, detecting our implicit biases and overcoming them. It isn't easy, in fact it's one of the hardest things we can do, and it seems to get harder with age. But surely an AI could do the same thing. I used to think there was no way a computer could paint an original picture, but here we are.

  299. Loved the video! I wonder if the catalytic converters, and the mechanism/materials behind them, could be used in the capture of carbon. I wonder how it compares to the activated carbon/carbon salt filter. Heck, I see no reason why we can't make cars carbon negative, once we switch to electric, we could keep the catalytic converts in cars and have them eat the air in front of them and release a less carbonated version. Maybe start installing these carbon eaters on wind turbines. Gotta have them more decentralized, embedded in other products, can't just have giant factories for them only, that's not feasible. At best they'll be marketed towards factories that require carbon in their manufacturing process, putting these in the middle of no where is just silly. Transportation costs of carbon will likely reduce what little economic advantage it might have. Also has potential in extreme areas, where a constant supply of trucks/trains/boats is not possible, such as far up north when the ice roads don't exist or in the middle of a desert for oil stuffs. No ones going to pay any money to setup a giant factory in the middle of nowhere that's designed to burry material, there's 0 direct profit incentive. Once someone designs a carbon capturing machine for less than $100 and figures out a way to market it so that it appears or actually does provide both individuals and companies legitimate value, it'll finally work, until then it's just an expensive experiment. Imagine if I could get 10M+ in funding for my poorly thought out ideas lol, that'd be fun. "Hey guys I built a shapeshifting robot it only cost 10M" :'). Anyone could build anything for 10M, once they make it for less than $1000 and I'll be impressed. I know "well you gotta start somewhere", but starting at such an insane price likely means they're approaching the problem with "gold coloured glasses", and not in a way that might be economically efficient and therefor likely to hit the market or see mass adoption. If I had insane funding, my projects would all be completed, but they'd suck mechanically due to the lack of limitations. It's like trying to build a house in creative mode in Minecraft, you can build all sorts of stuff but building it again in "the real game"/survival mode isn't feasible. That is where too many researchers are today. They get really good at using practically unobtainable blocks in creative mode, then when they're put into the survival game they have no idea how to use cobblestone and wood properly. That is why the great inventors actually sold their own products, they not only had the theoretical ability but the understanding of manufacturing and supply chain that allowed them to steer their inventions in directions that where manufacturable and that provided value to their customers, instead of just theoretically doing something once in a lab with someone else's money. The trick, is having a carbon capturing device that everyone owns (either in their car or house), that is affordable to the individual and that captures at least 1.2x the average human carbon output. Not only that, but there must be an economic incentive for the individual to own it, either because it'll give them a reliable source of cheap carbon or because it's already built into cars/turbines/things they own as a result of sanctions. I worry blasting a shittonne of carbonated water into our crust might make things even worse, sounds a bit like fracking to me lol. What if it somehow expands, like a pothole, and causes giant cracks in the earth? Very dangerous and careless approach, but im a highschool dropout who am I to judge. I'm also sceptical of membranes, their use in industry generally seems temporary before superior, more reliable and efficient tools are found. It's almost like, a lazy catch all mechanism (pun intended). Can't we use like electricity or something? Maybe a giant gas chromatography machine :')? I'm curious about recycling and consumer level mass spectrometry. Methods of separating materials and checking what's inside them. We're a year or two away from sub $1000 3d printers capable of printing basic ICs and computers like an arduino at home, the real gap is in the sourcing of materials. We throw away all this copper and plastic, yet when we need copper and plastic we buy it from another continent. There's so much sitting in our local garbages! We need an affordable decentralized approach that allows individuals to recycle their own materials for use in home manufacturing.

  301. This is a fantastic video about ion propulsion! I would like to mention about the Ion Propelled Vehicles shown online and on my channel. The series of crafts have a greater than one to one thrust ratio, with onboard power... No other ion thrusters that I am aware of are within an order of magnitude of lifting their power supplies vertically, normally ion thrusters are many orders of magnitude away from a 1 to 1 TWR. There are some videos of the crafts carrying onboard propellant tanks as well. They will have a tremendous ISP in space since they operate at very high voltages. It is surprising the project currently gets so little funding.

  310. Hi Ben - There are one or two completely separate points I would like to raise. I may have to split into separate comments to avoid a ridiculously long comment. Most important thing first - The SAFETY implications of Veritasium giving people "a little knowledge" (was it Edison who said "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?) - I was VERY alarmed at some of the comments on his video, people seriously talking about whether it would be considered "stealing electricity" from HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES, if they weren't actually making a physical connection but just relying on induction to tap energy from the lines in their community. (I think the user name was ZEET) The DANGER of even getting within a few FEET of HV lines makes me shudder. High voltage can jump several feet - It doesn't give people any warning - it just fries people in an instant before they get "close" - The air ionizes and then there is a massive three phase flashover - They certainly wouldn't be able to touch the lines anyway for that reason. Even at 230 / 400 volts (industrial three phase - so called "low" voltage) one small mistake causes the air to be ionized and again, a three phase flashover. (An electricity supply engineer I knew, made a small mistake changing a three phase meter and needed 6 months off work - became a born again Christian - said it was like a hand grenade going off. Unqualified people can be VERY casual about electricity - operating industrial switches with a pair of pliers, so they can keep the cover open to make fuse changing easier - DAFT things like that - We have to do everything we can to stop giving people HALF BAKED information about how electricity distribution works - Everybody thinks they are an electrician for some reason but most are blissfully ignorant of the dangers they cause to themselves and others. I just think we have to be very careful before giving people the false idea they can put some cable "near" a transmission line of ANY voltage and "tap off" free electricity - desperately poor people will do desperately stupid things. It wouldn't work anyhow because Veritasium's claim is very misleading and gives desperate people false hope that there are ways to tap off free electricity in poor communities where this is rife anyway. People get killed even trying to steal live cable in Britain. ANYWAY - that was my main concern first. On second thoughts, I would like to do some actual experimentation work to illustrate one of my objections to the sweeping claim made by Veritasium - I don't mind things being "unintuitive" - who am I to argue with nature - but if I can show nature doing something that is supposed to be impossible, if we are to take his word quite literally, then it MIGHT be a good reason to re-examine his claims. I think I should be able to construct my experiment in a day or so - that would be better than me making thought experiments, which seem to be all the rage. OK so just one more thing - Should be more up your street... Optics being your field of expertise, you may be interested to know of another quite famous You Tube scientist making a claim I feel sure you would dispute - Just like you, it's been "bugging me" ever since hearing Professor Moriarty of Sixty Symbols fame, (Nottingham University) inform us that if the E field of electromagnetic radiation is oscillating, say, vertically (for example - as in a simple upright radio antenna) then it can "slip through" the narrow gaps between the vertical bars of a suitable polarizing filter (say, a WIRE GRID polarising filter typically used with 10GHz microwaves for teaching purposes) BUT WOULD BE BLOCKED (he say's) with the filter bars turned HORIZONTAL relative to the VERTICAL E field vector. He even has a special "snake like" plastic rule, to physically demonstrate how it slips through the gaps in one orientation but cannot physically pass through in the other. That video (about 3D glasses) has been up for nine years and I'm quite sure no correction has ever been made ... Last time I checked a year ago, only TWO comments out of about 1000 at the time, pointed out that this is not how polarising filters work - and that the orientation he describes PASSING light / radio etc is in fact the orientation which BLOCKS - because the E field - or the magnetic field at 90 degrees to it obviously, is then effectively able to "induce" current into the bars. (my layman way of thinking about it) Forgive my LAYMAN talk - it's just easier for me to remember how it all works if I pretend there is no near field/far field distinction - then for me it just looks like two relatively long conductors parallel to one another (rather like Veritasium's very long wires just 1M apart) and straightforward EM induction. No, I have no qualifications in this so I lack confidence expressing my doubts in an actual Professor, but i have checked many many times, invested in ex school equipment etc so I can learn for myself - and so I am quite certain Prof. Moriarty is wrong. What say you? I've just checked again - The Sixty Symbols video is now 9 years old and is called HOW 3D GLASSES WORK, 650,000 views, about 1,300 comments now - I don't fancy trawling through every single one again - The first 50 or so recent comments are just the usual fawning over how wonderful this explanation is - which bugs me even more of course. I still cannot see any amendment or correction. The relevant bit starts at 4 minutes in. Sorry for the lengthy message. Oh and yes - it felt wrong for Veritasium to say we've been taught "lies" - I will try to get my experiment together ASAP - nothing posh - just to illustrate a possible flaw in his sweeping statement. If I end up proving him correct I'll be gobsmacked.

  312. Your videos really help me get a less bias understanding of the experience, thank you for sharing your opinions on the subject. It sounds like there really is something you get from a PhD that you just can't get at home. I got cynical when you mentioned they spent a few million on an isolation chamber that functions as well as the countryside, but your story of being grilled by your teammates to fill in your intellectual weaknesses was really cool, there seems to be something to the in personal social component that just doesn't exist as much digitally. Your part on distractions was really inspiring. Do you think the deadline to submit your thesis and/or paper was itself a distraction, or a motivating factor that's responsible for the researching being done in the first place? A little of both? Would you have done more without the deadline, or less? Also when is it too late to start a Masters/PhD? I mean "never" is a nice answer but like practically, is it 23? 25? 30? Did you notice any significant disadvantages for people graduating around the age of 30? I hope your business is going well!

  313. I completed my PhD in science at 51. The process took 10 years. I have a masters by dissertation in Elec Eng as well. You really have enjoy what you do to last the distance. In a conventional sense they are a means for signalling. That means I have some acronyms that signal I have gone through a certain process, I have proven that I can logically work through a problem and am able to construct processes to seek solutions. How old is too old?. Only you can answer that. I can say that it's better to start earlier, as life does get in the way, from a finacial point of view (I'm 64) on the one hand it becomes a diminishing returns scenario, on the other hand its helped me tremendously in securing jobs. Couple the acronyms with the weight of many years of experience and it is hard to beat compared to an inexperienced player. What can work against you is that there is the expectation that you need to be paid commensurate with the lack of supply of people with your background. Thatmeans that normally only large companies and funding bodies are able to employ you. If you really like a job with a smaller commercial firm, be prepared to sacrifice salary for stimulus and challenge. Don't necessarily base all your decision criteria on salary, it is extremely important to consider the calibre and vision of the new people you are considering working with. Would I do it all over again? You bet, just for the intellectual stimulus. Hope this helps. Good luck in your choice.

  322. 1:38 metric units > imperial units, and the reason I have for it is personal: I grew up learning only german because I was born in germany, I had to learn english in school and after school by myself when I was 12, it only was ok-ish when I was around 18 years old, it still isn't perfect now that I am 27 years old. I put so much work and effort into learning english just so I don't fall behind on general knowledge etc. There are like 2 billion people who speak english, but only 100million that speak german, so I have 20 times more content in english. Now the thing is: most people switch to english, but they don't get paid for it, we just have to to open ourselves more doors for success. almost every nation uses metric units, so while we learn 10,000 and more words to be able to speak english, americans can at least learn like 10 extra units... it's just so unfair, and this is the reason I am against imperial units

  330. Automation will follow a threefold rollout, we're in between the first and second. 1. Businesses use robots 2. People use robots 3. People have robots in their pockets. It's the same trend as Computers. A motorized, humanoid robot with a traditional kinematics system akin to a 6 axis arm, are probably going to fit the 80s-00s mold of personal computation, personal automation, and Tesla has quite impressive battery and motor technology that can and will be used in this robot. Largest hurdle, for them at least, will be creating an interface platform between the hardware and software, which would allow independent software engineers to create and improve existing "commands/programs", potentially even profit off their contributions. Constructing a humanoid robot is simple, having it be smart enough to perform useful labour efficiently, is the problem they must solve. This however is just a fad, shapeshifting robots, aka mesh morphing robots, will take over after this, which will allow the consumer to fit a humanoid robot in their pocket. I personally hoped that mesh morphing robots would reach the consumer space before their traditional counterparts, but with the progress being made by boston dynamics and musk it doesn't look likely. I expect he'll release some barley useful product 2.5x past his initial release date, to actually compete in this field would take initial capital investments comparable to that of SpaceX, I'm not so sure he has anything other than good motors, batteries and money to throw at the problem, and I don't think that's enough to solve the second stage of automation, this far into the race. He'd have to acquire BD and/or a few other companies to really stand a chance.

  335. from an auto-didactic opensource hack as myself, it is a challenge to speak as eloquently as you after watching this. And I dare not presume, that it would be solely my community and myself who would benefit from your mentorship and focused attention. Regardless, there are countless things from treatments to economics, business incubation, and quantumn that I would find gainful to learn via your continued uploads. Please, continue. I appreciate the time you take to document, edit and disseminate. Wave function collapsed. :)

  336. The thing I don't understand is distance and position seem to be very important but entanglement just ignores these. It doesn't matter how far away, they're somehow linked and if they both collapse when one is measured surely there must be information passed between them somehow? Also, is it possible to know when the measurement has occurred? For example, if I have an entangled particle and you do too, is there any way for you to know when I measured mine (thus changing yours)?

  337. Thank you very much for the sharing and digestible information, Dr. Ben Miles. Really appreciate your perception of the impact on deep tech investment realm from Theranos’ case.

  341. Thank you for making this video, you've provided some really interesting insight. Sometimes I forget a main goal of patents is to assure the publicization of information. I personally don't publish some of my research out of fear of being beaten to the market. I think patents would work a lot better if they were more affordable for average people, filing a patent, hiring a patent lawyer and defending your patent is unaffordable for most normal people. Which means, if seed capital is dependant on the applicant holding a patent, only a small portion of the population can afford the privilege to even apply for assistance to participate in the free market. I agree with you that the best solution is keeping patents, and sanctioning and/or subsidizing the drug's MSRP. However I also think drug companies should also be forced to license their patents to other manufacturers if they're unable to meet the demand.

  348. I found a nice scifi short story about an intergalactic jellyfish that produced both the energy it needed and the materials it cannot find through fusion and fission inside its stomach, was neat can't find it anymore :/ Nice to imagine/pretend nature already solved the problem though, helps make the problem appear more solvable. Great video, like always, finally got your skillshare course, looking forward to it! Side note, whilst centralized power plants will always be most efficient for cities and such, I've been patiently waiting for some sort of traditional nuclear energy generation to trickle down to the consumer space. If the Navy had nuclear reactors to power their ships for decades, it must only be a matter of time before we have em in our basements right? I just purchased land off the grid, and I'm really desperate for a proper power plant, centralization of power generation and distribution works in areas with high population density, less so for rural ppls. That might be a neat video, explore the current attempts and theory behind consumer nuclear energy generation.

  364. Hi Ben, another great video. They are so well made that it's a shame that your 18k subscribers don't tune in each week. I guess my thoughts on this research would be to ask them what motivates them to study motivation? Would it be to improve individual wellbeing or improve individual productivity? Perhaps it's both, but I only bring it up because being 'fit for life' and 'fit for work' are not the same thing, although they often go hsnd-in-hand. In any case, it's great research and I hope it is able to improve metal health in the future

  387. this is the first time I hear about a fusion reactor like this, very cool approach, even though having to replace parts make it seem a bit expensive, and why not just build like a 1km long railgun, then the magnetic field forces don't have to be so strong that the railgun breaks, but then again, I have no idea about the practical uses of rail guns so I might be wrong
    4
  388. Great video! Deep tech is a fun word! I worry students are discouraged from pursuing deep tech as a result of deadlines, risking the entirety of your student loans, education and career on a moonshot paper idea seems stupid. Especially when most of the potential rewards are so far removed from the researcher. It reminds me of a video on neural nets that I watched, an AI in mario kart was given a -100 penalty for falling off the edge of the track, but not enough of a reward for moving forward, so the AI learned their best bet was to just sit there, or to move extremely slowly, because it was too scared to take any risks, as a result of the penalties far outweighing the potential rewards. Mario learned to drive forward after the penalties where reduced or incentives increased. (Source "MariFlow" & "MariQ") Your distinction between shallow and deep tech was really spot on, I personally find the difference to be whether or not you can build your invention with parts that are already mass produced, and simply assemble them together, or if new recipes and factories must be designed and built to mass manufacture the components necessary to build your device. It's easy to buy a bunch of components and assemble them, it's a lot harder to design and build the components to then assemble into a single object. On a software level, this means any program that simply interfaces between preexisting libraries would be shallow, whereas the requirement of brand new untested algorithms would be deep. The best way to do deep tech in my experience is incrementally. Lets say I need IPMCs for my MMRs, it's in my best interest to mass produce and sell IPMCs to other companies, then start incorporating them into my robots. Don't try to do too many new things at once, go one step at a time and make a profit along the way. If anyone of your startups ever mass manufacture IPMCs give me a call, I need a lot, so does the rest of the world.

  418. Curious what would your abstract approach for designing a machine to test blood more efficiently be. Do you think that invisible gas spectrometer you covered in another video could work to 3D scan blood? Do you think there's a way to use xrays to 3D scan blood? I don't fully understand how it works currently, but it seems most bio tests are like, you take a sample and do a series of "things" to it, and it'll signal whether or not what you're testing for is there or not. But that destroys the sample and requires a lot more of the sample/blood than a high res 3D scan would. Any ideas how you'd practically 3D scan blood w/o destroying the important stuff? If you where to 3D scan a bio sample, you could retest that 3d model infinite times for everything without destroying it (like a traditional test seems to do). If you make another vid on the subject love to hear what the device claimed to do, and did in real life. And why that approach was unfeasible.

My addition to your report concerning the innovation of the Delta Wing plane comparison would be that this motor would have to have a SUCCESSFUL life of development and use. Looking at the referenced Concorde (DELTA WING) design, we have only seen successful numbers of this design in military and experimental applications (widely). The Concorde was so plagued with complications and stresses that it finally met it's demise due to it's expense of operation. I believe that modern technology is catching up with the stresses that meet these Very Fast aircraft. Thank you again

  443.  @DrBenMiles  Biggest problem with xenon at the moment is that most of it comes from Ukraine... Krypton is 1/3 the cost, but has different ionization valences so the same thruster parameters don't work, and as you noted it's not as effective a propellant.

  449. This is one of the areas where AI should absolutely not be used and do as much as we can to prevent people from using it for this case. People don't learn anything, and yes there are cases when the subject is useless to learn but it is still cheating which is not right. And if people can use it for subjects that are useless to learn for their life then they will most likely be tempted to use it for things they need to learn and cheat.

  455. I hope you build up your userbase again, your production value and content are on par with the best science communicators on the platform, your videos deserve to reach (and educate/entertain) more people! Have you considered making some form of collab with Tom Scott? He's on the lookout for people to cooperate with, it'd be nice to boost your viewerbase.

  461. I once played a game that also had roulette in it and tested that strategy, I was a teen and hyped because I thought it could work, I quickly realized how often I have to bet 100,000+ just to get 10 profit, eventually I lost everything. It's the worst strategy ever, because the more you bet (which you have to do a lot with that strategy), the less time you have fun gambling but the title is clickbait, because it doesn't beat roulette

  476. Protolyst looks nice. I would love to see a video comparing it to competing products, Diigo, Mendeley, and many of the other various "annotation manager" browser extensions/software.
    2
  477. One of your best videos I reckon. Although I found the choice of visuals bizarre, almost as if you didn’t really choose to use them. I think of myself as a determinist and I think all our actions are influenced, not just on a quantum particle level but also on a social, abstract, less tangible level too. The only problem I have with my philosophy is how the randomness of quantum mechanics kind of ruins it. 😂

  478. Totally forgot I subbed, but glad I did.

  479. This felt like a trick question since the answer wasn’t even the nozzles lol. Thanks for teaching. The funny thing is that i never felt confident enough to answer and i bet others felt that too. I feel like the answers are in the subconscious but we couldn’t pull it up. Like back of the tongue thing. I think it’s because we knew we were missing something. Too much focus on one end.

  484.  @DrBenMiles  the whole concept of a hybrid, such as a Prius, is to use the electric motors and battery in those situations of highest “ fuel usage.” For example acceleration in city the hybrid synergy drive takes precedence to save gas. The same could be done with battery packs in large aircraft to supplement or even displace the Jet A turbines while taking off ( large fuel usage and high power demand) or landing ( high power demand on approach). There’s also noise advantages, particularly in those areas where’s there’s noise restrictions or flight time restrictions.

  485. It seems that differential sensing is no different than some of the AI being applied to FSD (full self drive) auto tech. Just as Rosa might not be able to tell you WHY it thinks sample A represents disease X, Tesla may not be able to tell you WHY the car applied the breaks for a fraction of a second in situation Z. The "black box" might be hard to defend in court when a collision lawsuit is brought, but for disease detection the downside is seemingly significantly less.

  486. I'm hoping that as I write this your future actions will include reading it ! I am impressed with all your videos and very impressed with your abilities as a Salesman ! I will invest in Master Works ! In addition I'd like to say that as a 1975 student of physics at the University of California Irvine all my teachers supported 'Steady State Theory' while I alone voiced support for a Primordial Explosion Theory ! I also postulated that the PET concept must also allow for the existence of Non-Space Space in order for the PET to have somewhere to explode ! Having an area that existed beyond the boundary of PET (Big Bang) was not welcome and I was shunned by my Professors. As a result, I became a Draftsman. At least in this version of the Universes ! Thanks for reading this Dr. Miles.

  488. You are the ONLY ONLY ONLY science communicator online who quantified how much progress in laser efficiency has happened in the past 20 years! Thank you! NOBODY else mentioned those numbers at 9:45. Not even Sabine Hossenfelder. She also got sloppy with her poor analysis about the health effects from using cellphones and cellphone towers, by never including how they are used in PRACTICE.

  504. In one explanation for quantum coupling, it is said that what we observe is on another plane but when the plane/dimension gets reduced to a single dimension, the perceived distance between those two points are much smaller. The space we perceive is really an illusion.

  505. Would love to see this tech give the paralysis the ability to play video games. Most only require a few buttons. And if you could for example draw a c to click c and move a mouse around there are many games to play. Also this could be trained with an ai to make the connection better.
    2
  506.  @DrBenMiles  No, in this case I think you're being much too humble. I think you actually need to contact YouTube Ben. I've resubscribed to your channel multiple times, and no matter what I do, you never show up on my youtube home. I also have notifications enabled, and never am. The yt algorithm is a black box open for conjecture and mysticism; but other creators who were less active around the same time you were, apparently contacted youtube and found that the algo had developed a severe bias against them - if I remember correctly it basically classified that creator as something close to spam. On a side note if you were pondering ever making an optics course, all technical goodness included, I'd gobble that up. I'd be an instant patron.

  518.  @DrBenMiles  I don't think it is unfair at all. People need to be paid to be educators, perhaps the system needs retooling however. Some classes one must take to get any degree make zero sense for that degree. I am just an amateur logican. I'd like to call myself a pro - but no one wants to pay me for analyzing arguments ;) heh. Anyway keep doing what you do because I (and others) enjoy learning science from you and people like you that do this sort of thing. Also learning how to learn - that is a whole thing isn't it? Heck a whole thing could be made about education and what it should be "for" or "about" - teach what skill sets we need to be an adult - don't just assume parents will do that. I do not think I've used hardly anything I learned in school in my adult life. Ah well. I think the song "dont stay in school" covers the problem somewhat. Okay long post of me waffling about things. Ah, I guess I will ask you to check out "deconverted band" my first/second album on my channel you might like "Logic Ate Me" the second song on the first album. Okay I have now been random and tangent filled, thanks for reading any of this woot. :D

  519. It’s foolish, but I was raised in a family of [very traditional, conservative] academics who pushed the narrative that one’s trajectory must involve acquiring a doctorate, then finding a tenured professorship. This is obviously not true, but as much as I’ve tried to disentangle my perception of my worth from their value system, it’s still what drives me, now in the process of scheduling my comps. I’m worn down, feel lost, and can’t for the life of me imagine how I got here. While I do love research in general and my field specifically, and I have a great supervisor, committee, and lab group, I worry about how far and remote the finish line seems, and I worry I’ll feel just as empty reaching it (if ever I do) as I do now. Height of ungrateful privilege, i know, I’m very lucky to have a family who prioritizes above all else this thing that I love doing. In their priorities however, it reliably comes before mental health, relationships/friendships, physical health, free will or individuality Whether or not that counts as worth it is unclear to me, ahah

  527. Loved the video, however I have a pedantic question; you said the sprinkler turns 40x slower than a normal sprinkler. I have been told to never use a multiplier to describe a fraction (40x vs 1/40). You have more formal education than I do, so I will defer to your answer and let go of this trivial distinction if need be.

  528. Awesome video! 🎉😊

  529. First, thank you for the sage wisdom. This is something that an individual as myself would not have contemporary access to. for various soc/econ/geo/domestic circumstances. Please keep up the vids. Thank you+ in advance. Second, could... can I.... ugh... um, ..is there a mechanism or system by which an individual could write/publish/submit a thesis outside of academia? I am just beginning MOOC via edX, however home econ and my geoLocation will not permit a Verified Track, and audit is my only option. Is there a path that I can still foresee the end goal of a PhD Thesis?

  533. No mention of alternate forms beyond carbon based life. Maybe a follow-up that goes back a stage to chemistry and discusses which elements could be built into chains (e.g. silanes) would be good.

  534. Hi, I'd like to point out that the geographic north is close to the magnetic south.

  535. Good video. If successful, the detection of low-frequency gravitational waves by the IPTA could provide important insights into the nature of black holes and other astrophysical phenomena, as well as confirming one of the last remaining predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Science, it works.
    2
  536. Just a thought for channels that often have to convert between Celsius and Ferinheight for different viewers. Americans use Celsius for technical subjects. We just don't use it for things that are domestically familiar. Sort of like British people weigh things in Stone. When you are already talking about absurdly large numbers saying a dam weights 40 million stone doesn't really make a number more comprehensible since anything else at that scale isn't going to be measured in stone.

  540. OMG! 3:21 As a little boy (I was odd, precocious, and read a lot. 'nuff said?) and fascinated by experimental physics, at some point I thought "Woa. That's like firing an 8 cylinder engine against a steel wall and then looking at the pieces to figure out how it works!" That was mid-1960s. I turned 70 last week. Never ever encountered that analogy in the wild! greets / thanks --ben_

  544. Wow! Plenty of details about an experimental PhD! Thanks Ben!🙏❤️ What I still don't have any idea about is which area of physics should I choose (particle or nuclear physics or pure theoretical physics like string theory!) to get into research and what I should probably do after a PhD like, be a professor or get into research, etc. I am also curious about how do researchers make a living (theoretical physicists?).

  553. The simple conceit of trying to think a thought before you've thought it, puts free will to bed. You're just a passive observer of your thoughts and actions, like watching a computer game playthrough with the controller not plugged in, your brain constantly and subtley making you believe you're the one controlling the action.

  561. You’re brilliant at explaining the world. Great videos. Would love to watch a video about a fact all virologists agree on and that is (a physical virus has never been found in any living thing) What does this mean? The only physical viruses found have to be grown in a lab before they can be seen. Why is this ? it’s puzzling. They can detect a virus in living things but can’t physically find one. It’s Like having a metal detector going off all the time but when you dig into the ground you find nothing. Very strange.
    2
  562. Hi Dr. MIles. I just subscribed to your channel after stumbling onto your video about oncologic viruses. Upon perusing your list of past videos I found the subject matter to be very interesting and you seem to have a unique and refreshing approach as well. Also, you have a voice and manner that's very appealing and easy to listen to which is crucial imo. Good luck, not that you'll need it. I'm quite sure you'll be very successful here and hope you find making these videos satisfying so that you'll continue to make them for a very long time.

  574. G'day Ben, that was a very informative presentation on a topic I know nothing about, but I do know a little bit about cows and If I may add that cows farting methane isn't the problem it's them belching it that is the current concern. The CSIRO are working on a seaweed additive which is included to their feed ration as a supplement that drastically reduces the output of methane 👍.

  584. I say same way because the way the water would push the ends as it’s sucked in is the same as it moving because pushed out. The curve changes the directions but it’s just making an area and the pressure shoots the water out and the force pushes back on the heads. Sucking would cause the heads to be pushed as well in the same direction because the heads are taking the pressure from the forces because of angle and design.

  587. I've just got on to your videos mate and I love your ability to explain really technical things, in this case maths... As for me I didn't go past year 8... 😅 And yet I understand exactly everything you're explaining.. I could be partly because I spent a year or so trialing and tweaking the Martin Gale strategy on roulette on roulette on the downtime of my night shifts 😅 Another great video mate And I can definitely say from experience... 7-9 x red or black comes up way more often than most people think One strategy I used and use in casinos when I'm rarely out at them with mates is watch for the tables that have previously had a run of 6-9 x one colour or odd / even and then use the strategy for a short amount of time as you mentioned then walk away with your winnings It's a fun trick to do in front of your mates as they think you are some kind of genius 😅

Understandable if it's not much yet, as it's still beta, but it'd be awesome to have the amount of various embedded content support eventually be wide and large. Having support for some sort of embedded interactive notebook, such as Jupyter/Codelab/Mathematica, would be amazing.

  601. I recently heard about this young adult novel in which Schrodinger’s cat and Pavlov’s dog team up for a cross county adventure… So I headed on down to the library to see if they had a copy for my 10 year old daughter. The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn’t sure if it was there or not.

  632. Where have you been all my life? Seriously though, I wish I had studied to be a materials scientist. Your mention of gallium arsenide brought back memories long forgotten. Also, Tony Stark did this in a cave with a box of scraps, so that's an incentive to reverse engineer his genius.

  633. The press overhypes 99% of the time no matter the subject. Children need to be taught this from grade school onwards. That way people wont fear xenobots as they hear it on the news.

  634. Hi Ben, I am an Engineer for Microelectronics with more than 20 years experience and also responsible for the physics inside Microchips. Also I like science Videos on youtube and I saw this video very late and I was tiered. I had the same feeling like you and I stopped the video, because I was confused and thought what a bullshit. With so many Abonnements usually I expected professionals.

  641. Dragons' Den logic: Use the fame of the show to sell bullshit to guillible uneducated people... If we had a proper legislative system we could prevent this all, and much more, but here in germany the prosecutors still use letters instead of emails, they were allowed til 2022 to throw away any letter you wrote to them no matter how serious it was (I was luckily able to change it with the help of the Landtag, Stuttgart[but now they simply say "no evidence" and manage to throw it away that way, no matter how much evidence you have]) but apart from that, it is a complete mess, nobody cares in politics or the legislative about anything but getting their monthly paycheck and having to work the least amount possible, they don't care about justice at all

  643. you've asked for comments so here i am, noone knowing nothing but encouraged to speak ;d electrolysis argument is vaild from my perspective. Given how much water there is, it's level of salination, size (or rather surface area) of nodules and nodules' composition it doesn't neccessairly mean that there's something to be "depleted". One battery electrolyzing 1000 liters of water will run out quickly, million batteries doing the same amount of water will continue to bubble until water runs out. There's also important correlation between level of salination to the electrolysis happening, pure distilled water doesn't electrolyze, but when you add salt - process starts. Also keep in mind that sea water isn't only h2o+table salt, but manganese, magnese, sodium and bunch of other minerals. This means that product of electrolysis is h2+o2+ deposit which might add to overall nodule. yeah, science bitch

  645. The enthusiasm of both your guests was infectios Ben, great segment and thanks. I totally agree that green, purple and pink life might well be spectrographically inferred on exoplanets. However. Gravity, atmosphere and pressure, UV/IR, chemical composition of the planet/moon etc are presumably massivly variable. WE know that life started early here - purple & pink, then evolved to free.. What I'm saying is that every colour will likely be represented given the unfathomable variety of sliding variable. I'm kinda leaning towards Lee Cronin/Sarah Walker [Assembly Theory] and I would LOVE to see you do a riff on them while you're on this topic. I love your work Dr Miles, thank you for your intellect and effort.

  667. Frequency of light indicates how much energy a photon has. Perhaps, photon loses a very little bit of energy as it travels through vast space, and is slightly more red shifted. And off course the universe is expanding by a lot, the main component of the red shift as we know today. In the early universe, there was more energy and less space, so photons had very high frequency. As it expanded and cooled, photons lost it's energy and red shifted even further. So 3 components to the red shift, not just universe expansion. All this, no science, just my imagination 😂

  673. JUst so incredible all the discoveries and corrections to previous amazing finds that ae being made across all sciences every day and I'm so so glad I came across your channel and a family of amazin subscribers that all have fascinating inputs to make and if not then at least are interested and have something to say and want to learn all these things, its weird as already I feel so much less depressed and alone as none of my friends are into the things I am which are exactly the things you make videos about! Your love of ALL sciences is so refreshing and just easier all round knowing I don't have to search through different channels when i fancy learning a bit more about a particular subject as you have it all, a bit of everything! :D

PS. if it cant be worn, then it dosnt count at all.........if it dosnt do the thing its supposed to do, its a fail.

  715. Was it by chance these bugs/bacteria were discovered to eat plastics, or was there a dedicated effort to encourage the mutation through selective breeding and controlled environments? I would imagine that in a natural environment such a phenotype/mutation would not be selected for except for under extreme environments where no other sources of food exist. But in a controlled setting you could select for the mutation and encourage it's propagation; perhaps by starting with a mixed diet and slowly transitioning surviving generations of bacteria to more exclusively plastic diets. Then the question is what happens when this gets out and starts eating our TVs lol.
