  4. In Dutch Ladybugs are called 'Lieveheersbeestjes', which translates directly to 'Dearlordcritters'. I have been told by Dutch biologist Midas Dekkers that this happened a long time ago, when someone was about to be executed, but this ladybug flew on top of the chopping block and the criminal carefully helped the ladybug off the chopping block, put the ladybug with his hand elsewhere, and then laid his head on the chopping block. The priest, who witnessed this act of kindness, stopped the execution and said the insect was sent by our dear Lord to proof his innocence. The criminal got free and the insect is henceforth known as our "DearLordCritter". :)

  5. The problem with UV light killing those bad viruses is, that 99.999% of the good microbes out there are killed as well... Living in a too sterile environment is in the long term not healthy either.

  9. I am considering buying a Nokia phone, if it has the same durability as their old bricks. Phones that require casing or break as soon as you sneeze on them, should be avoided at all costs imho...

  15.  @MauritsWilke  if the immune system doesn't get in touch with any microbes because of the clean sterile environment, it will start attacking benevolent substances, like peanuts, dog hair, latex, etc., and now an allergy has begun to develop.

  21. 30% dislikes on this video already :( there wasn't that much resistance when the ozone layer was under threat and that hole reduced in size not until after 4 decades of appropriate human behaviour...

  33. Nope, the English are not harsh towards the Dutch at all; we really are scrupulous bastards when it comes to money. We are currently profiting big time from Brexit for example. :D

  38. The graphics are amazing in this video! :)

  39. You gave me a scare there for a while, because I thought there was a chronic pain issue in your personal life. Glad to hear this isn't the case. :)
    12
  40. Already seen Henry Segerman's video and left a comment there. :) Fantastic to see this explained in great detail and crossing my fingers for that part two. I really like the map projection. Instead of Antarctica, you can take your home location as the centre of the map and your homeland will then be the least distorted country on the map.
    11
  41. Haha, I was about to make that comment :)

  42. It's a win-win situation for Elon Musk, first he sets up a LEO internet network with Starlink and secondly with that satellite network forces astronomers to use space telescopes, which he can make even more money by transporting those space telescopes in orbit with his rocket company SpaceX...

  52. Thank you for sharing this, I learned a lot and something new! 🙂 Little nitpick: please colour the oxygen atoms red, nitrogen atoms blue, chloride atoms green, carbon atoms black/dark grey depending on background, and hydrogen atoms white/light grey/completely transparent also depending on background/preference, because otherwise it is extremely confusing to chemists, who are accustomed to that colour scheme. 😁

  53. Isn't the probability wave of the particle going through both slits instead of the particle going through both slits in the double slit experiment?

  54. I think that if plants have to go black to get enough energy, they will instead find other ways to find energy and evolve into fungi.

  61. Great video as always, but some of the text went away too fast before I could finish reading it, just so you know. English isn't my first language, so I am a little bit slower, but I do know I can pause the video. :)
    5
  62. I didn't know you were from Hungary, I thought you were German. I am curious now what your thoughts are on Viktor Orban... would you make a video on this one day or might your family get in trouble, if you did? :-/

  63. This is going towards the Simulation Hypothesis, isn't it?

  87. +Mohammed Raheem I paid for a ticket for a domestic flight to replace my passport. They wouldn't let me on the domestic flight, but the other airliner (FlyBe I believe) had no problem, since I wasn't crossing any borders. I have heard plenty of other horror stories from other Ryan Air customers, so I am avoiding Ryan Air like the plague... :(

  88. Just get rid of time zones as well while you are at it! Everyone change their clock to UTC and get up, when the Sun rises at your location, and go to bed, when the Sun is down at your location on our planet. :)

  93. Great video. :) Can you test VR-gaming in Linux? Valve Index is supposed to work in a Linux operating system, but I heard there were problems and now I am curious what these problems are...
    3
  94. Yeah... terraforming the entire planet Mars is not realistic, but terraforming a Martian crater is maybe doable by building a encapsulating dome over it and creating a micro-climate in there.

  97.  @johndifrancisco3642  Tess is only transits I think... I think ESA"s Gaia space telescope can detect wobbles, not sure though... @Cool Worlds sorry, I missed that part, I need to see your videos earlier in the day with a sharper mind instead of always late in the evening here in Europe. I have done some citizen science exoplanet hunting myself and have come across a lot of graphs, where 2 dips are very similar, but couldn't verify it as an exoplanet, because there wasn't a 3rd dip... hence my worries for wishful-thinking...
    3
  98. I am bothered by the rectangle boxes being cut off the wrong way somehow... The spiral was made over the surface of the boxes and I think the spiral should instead follow the diagonal of the box's interior (A^2 + B^2 +C^2 = D^2) and therefore should spiral inwards somewhere in the interior and not end up at the surface of the initial box.... hmmmm.... 🤔

  99. When the replacement intro and outro are better than the original! XD

  100. I always wondered why ozone isn't a ring structure at the atomic scale...? Great video by George Zaidan et al. again, well done!

  104. This method can keep predicting planets, but it has to stop somewhere; is there a rule or limit for that?

  105. There is good reason nature didn't evolve wheels; I'd say go for legs instead of wheels on the rovers.

  106. What a mathematical morning to start with: both Vi Hart and Freya Holmer have posted a video, nice! :)

  107. Great video again! :) The following has been bothering me for a while: Why cannot time have a second dimension instead of a multiverse with an infinite amount of universes?

  108. good stuff, more of this please :)

  111. Great video that inspired me with a couple of new questions. :) Can the Higgs-boson exist within a black hole's event horizon? What if it cannot; would the black hole then be able to spin faster than light-speed?
    3
  112. Fermentation. But yes, fungi depend on sun-dependent life. Sun-independent life can be found around hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean; they depend on the planet's energy instead of the Sun's energy.

  133. Why do they drop the rocket? Why not put it on top of the middle-wing, ignite the attached rocket and when it is pushing, detach it and let it go its way? That way no altitude would be lost...

  135. My brain cannot deal with an infinite universe, it must be finite. If the universe was infinite, then there's an exoplanet out there, which is for example Mario World or an Earth 2.0 with a Willem living there, who keeps winning the jackpot every time he buys a lottery ticket. That's something I cannot accept, sorry, the universe is big, but it cannot be infinite.
    2
  136. Argh, you made me think again about my puzzle why the surface of a 3D sphere is exactly 4 times the surface of 2D circle and how many times the surface of a 4D hyper-sphere is...? I have been turning the surface of a 2D circle into a surface of a 3D disc, which is 2 times the surface of a 2D circle (back and front), but blowing this 3D disc up from a 3D ellipsoid into a 3D sphere increasing that surface exactly 2 times is still breaking my mind, let alone turning the surface of 3D sphere into a 4D "hyper-disc" and blowing that up from a 4D hyper-ellipsoid into a 4D hyper-sphere... :(

  142. Uhm... how can a dust particle from the Oort cloud transiting the star's disc be separated from an exoplanet transiting the same star's disc from a single or even a dual transit? Three transits are really necessary then to confirm it is a planet and not an accidental encounter in my humble opinion... I'm a bit confused here. o_O

  143. So make all sports just unisex?

  144. From Europe here... it is so bizarre to me that people grab a weapon or buy ammo, when a natural disaster is going to happen. It's like the least useful tool out there to think of.
    2
  145.  @benb3928  sorry, the green carbon atoms can be forgiven, however, the oxygen atoms look like nitrogen atoms and the hydrogen atoms look like oxygen atoms, so to a chemist it looks like an odd C6N6O12H18 molecule instead of a simple C6H12O6 sugar molecule, very disorienting... 🤷 😕

  146. TA

  147. I like to think the many worlds interpretation only exists in statistics, like for example throwing 6 sided dice under a cup; in statistics there are now 6 worlds each with a different outcome, until you lift up the cup and see the actual outcome, when the 6 statistical worlds collapse now back to the real world and there is only one result now.

  149. I would rank civilisations in a different way: Type 1 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of asteroids. Type 2 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of small moons. Type 3 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of terrestrial planets. Type 4 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of ice/gas giants. Type 5 = a civilisation, which can adjust the direction of stars. Type 6 = a civilisation, which can adjust the direction of supermassive black holes.

  156. Hey Freya, fantastic video.that made me think a lot about the future too. When you brought up AI being deceptive and also your depression, I was wondering: could you be projecting your depression on AI? As Wil Wheaton (who has been dealing with depression himself) has said: Depression Lies. Maybe the depression is the real parasitic cancer... You also asked where AI is going. Well, AI defeated us in chess in the 90s, and then AI defeated us in the game Go a couple of decades later, so the next game AI is going to tackle us with is Diplomacy, and it is practising on us right now. I like to compare AI with forklifts, because a machine has become stronger than a human, doesn't mean humans no longer need our muscles. Same for LLMs, because AI will be better at creating smart content, doesn't mean humans no need to use our brains... Anyway, I am still trying to figure it out myself here, so I don't have all the answers, but hopefully I have helped you a little bit? Best wishes for the new year! :)

  165.  @josmoify  I already have aged hardware from Finland called Jolla, which has Sailfish OS on it, hence my impatience for the Pinephone. :) Wasn't Ubuntu Touch a failed Kickstarter project once long ago? Did they manage to get it off the ground after all?

  178. If in a village half of the people die at the age of 10 years old and the other half dies at the age of 70, then the life expectancy of the village is 40, even though no one dies at the age 40. Therefore the age of 40 isn't necessarily a lethal age, when it is a life expectancy. It is just a deceptive average and tells you there was probably a lot of child death or a lot of young men and women dying in for example war. I just wanted to set this possible misunderstanding of life expectancy straight, if this would happen to be the case. I hope it wasn't offensive, it certainly wasn't my intention. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year. :)

  210. I have been struggling to come to grips with how an area of a disc is exactly 4 times more than the area of a sphere. I have been imagining cutting 4 discs into into infinitely many thin rings and rebuilding a 3D sphere out of those 2D rings... But with this video could it somehow be proven the area of a sphere is exactly 4 times more than an area of a disc? I have also been looking at the area of a 3-sphere in 4D space, which has a hyperarea of 2pi^2 r^3, but that is a volume... differentiating this would give me an actual area of 6pi^2 r^2, which is not what I would have expected, because; why would pi not square itself going from 2D space to 3D space, but pi suddenly does start squaring itself from 3D space to 4D space? I would have expected that, if the area of a disc in 2D space multiplies by 4 when it inflates into a sphere in 3D space, then the area of a sphere in 3D space multiplies by 6 (or some other round number) when it inflates into a 3-sphere in 4D space (just like 4 1D lines can be folded into a 2D square, 6 2D squares can be folded into a 3D cube, 8 3D cubes can be folded into a 4D tesseract, etc.), and we would have an area of 24pi r^2 for a 3-sphere in 4D space (which is wrong aparently). Hope you can help. :)

  246. I believe our human civilisation will adjust the orbital resonance of asteroids within decades, the orbital resonance of moons within centuries, and the orbital resonance of planets within millennia. Therefore I think SETI looking for exoplanets, which change orbital resonance and move unnaturally, is a much better approach than trying to catch alien communication signals.

  249. Students shouldn't be taught to take the integral of sin(x)cos(x) dx, students should be taught to take the integral of sin(x)cos(x) + 0 dx, because the plus zero will automatically be integrated to a constant.
    1
  250.  @entropie-3622  it helps, because it will be a thing for students to do at the start of the integration along with drawing the large S-curve, the dx, the optional limits etc. unlike being that one last thing to do at the end, where it is a lot easier to forget for students.
    1
  251.  @entropie-3622  I agree and as it is, the +C seems to be coming out of nowhere at the end of the integration for students. By adding +0 at the start of the integration, the +C no longer seems to be coming out of nowhere any more, the +0 has been there all the way from the beginning of the problem solving process. I am not disagreeing with the video btw, this video is an absolutely superb lesson why that constant is so important. I just wanted to add a potential solution to the "+C"-forgetfulness issue, which has been lingering for generations and is nothing new, hence why I think it should be taught differently by including the plus zero from the get-go of the integration.

Both imperial and metric system should be replaced with the light speed system: 1 light-nanosecond is about 1 foot or 0.3 m 1 light-microsecond is about 328 yards or 0.3 km 1 light-millisecond is about 186 miles or 300 km etc. For mass we can use electronvolts per square light speed constant and electronvolts can also be used for other measurements like energy and momentum. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronvolt

  288.  @johnnynitetrain32379  you don't understand infinity. If the chance of an Earth 2.0 being in a galaxy is one part per trillion (ppt), then in an infinite universe with infinite galaxies there will be 1 ppt * ∞ = ∞ Earth 2.0s. If the chance of a creature to exist with my exact DNA on those Earth 2.0s is 1 ppt, then there will be 1 ppt * ∞ = ∞ Willems out there. If the chance of one of those Willems to win the lottery is 1 ppt, then there will be 1 ppt * ∞ = ∞ lucky Willems out there in an infinite universe. This is why I cannot accept that the universe is infinite. The universe has to be finite, because when chances of something to exist are not zero, you can get to really very ridiculous scenarios in an infinite universe.
    1
  289.  @mitseraffej5812  Yes, and you have been made possible by this universe, so if the universe is infinite, there will be creatures with your DNA out there somewhere in some galaxy far far away and one of those creatures is winning the jackpot in lotteries every freaking time, because of the infinite possibilities of an infinite universe. That's why I have a hard time accepting that the universe is infinite. And yes, fictional things like lightsabres for example are not possible, so they won't exist in an infinite universe, I agree.

  322. Same for biochemistry. I did a interview for a job at a cancer research institute once, the project leader explained his research on a transport protein in great detail, but I didn't see the connection to the disease, so I asked how this is linked to cancer...? He had to think for it for a moment, while him looking at the screen I looked painfully at his colleague, he smiled thinking this was extremely funny, the project leader finally came up with a story that the transport protein is being researched because it looks similar to another protein, which is related to cancer. Long story short, they didn't give me the job and I no longer donate money to cancer research. Worst part of it all is that I have had multiple job interviews like this... :( Science used to be done by the church, monasteries, etc., until their religious systems got too corrupt. I think academia is so rotten to the core by nepotism now, it is reaching the point, where it has just become a place of ritual to find your future life-partner instead of a place of education & exploration. I am currently hoping the gaming industry is going to take over the education & exploration from academia, just like academia took over education & exploration from the church and monasteries centuries ago... 🤞 PS. ESA has invested into the Kerbal Space Program 2 game, and the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt is also investing into making games, so I guess there is still hope.

  323.  @Mathologer , are you sure? If you follow the 3 dimensional diagonal of the box (instead of the 2 dimensional diagonal of the box's surface), then there should only be one option left to create a new box to cut out of the rectangular box, because those 3D diagonals have to connect subsequentially. If you pause the video at 19:00, then you can follow the 3D diagonal from box to box, starting with the: Yellow box, the diagonal starts in the far right bottom corner and goes to the far left top corner, which connects to the -> Green box, at the far top hind corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far bottom front corner, which connects to the -> Purple box, at the far left bottom corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far right top corner, which connects to the -> Red box, at the far right bottom corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far left top corner, which does not connect to the -> Blue box, because the 2D diagonals of the box's surface for the "folded golden spiral" were followed, which I seriously doubt is correct, since every odd quarter circle is contained within a rectangle and not a square like in the 2D golden spiral of the left image at frame 20:45 of the video... There should only be one 3D golden spiral within these boxes and I bet Freya Holmer ( @acegikmo ) can make a great visualisation out of it with her Bezier splines https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds in unity. :)

  333. I disliked, however, I do not agree that the probability of tails Monday = 25% & tails Tuesday = 25%. Tails Monday = 50%, and that probability is carried over to Tuesday, because in that sleeping beauty scenario Monday = Tuesday. This is why it is definitely not the first option, where heads Monday = 33%, tails Monday = 33%, & tails Tuesday = 33%. As you explained, adding more days will decrease the probability of heads Monday, which is ridiculous. Therefore tails Monday, tails Tuesday, tails Wednesday, etc. become cumulatively -> tails Someday, which all have 50% probability.

  389. I thumbed down this video, because of the misinformation, sorry! :( Viruses have a storage limit when it comes to genetic material, so they are unable to generalise to attack every living cell; they must specialise on one specific organism. Sometimes one specific organism have a certain matching protein with another specific organism, like for example the Avian Flu Virus, which jumped from chickens to humans. This is just bad luck from our species side and not a generalisation of a virus; viruses are incapable of doing that.

  406. Philosophical episode this week. :) On a more serious note, I personally think the purpose of the universe is to defy the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Biology is kind of doing that already, chemistry and physics cannot explain why or how chaotic lifelessness started to program proteins into nucleic acid polymers. To me it is pure magic, lifelessness should not generate something as organised and orderly as RNA and DNA, life shouldn't exist, yet here we are, it is baffling me.

  439. My answer was E: none of the above, because I thought it would travel at the speed of sound since the electrons in the wire would react with each other like dominoes...
    1
  440.  @eyescreamcake  thank you for this information, I didn't know that! :) I knew the speed of sound is different in different media, like it is faster in water than in air and I guess it is even faster in a solid metal wire than in water, but I had no idea it would reach close to the speed of light. So just checking if I understood the video right, if we used Veritasum's setup and add 2 more light bulbs at both U-turns of the cable and label these three light bulbs in this sequence A, B, and C: would the middle lightbulb B light up first, because of the field generated by the source is just a physical metre away, and then lightbulb A and C light up at the U-turns of the cable far away? It seems so counter-intuitive... EDIT: I watched the video again and Derek did say there is an impedance... he definitely needs to make a follow-up video... I am still confused.

  459. Why can't the black hole have a density limit like a neutron star? Let's say 2 neutron stars collide forming a bigger neutron star, but the newly obtained Schwarzschild radius is larger than the newly formed neutron star's radius, therefore it becomes a black hole. This black hole evaporates mass through Hawking's radiation until the radius of the neutron star within the black hole overtakes the Schwarzschild radius again, so the black hole becomes a neutron star again. What I am asking is; why can't we just treat the Schwarzschild radius as a gravitational shadow?

This and both democratic and republican parties have to be split in two, so there will be four choices: - Conservative republicans under leadership of Donald Trump - Christian republicans under leadership of Mitt Romney - Central democrats under leadership of Joe Biden - Progressive democrats under leadership of Elizabeth Warren ...or something in the same vein, you get the idea hopefully. The current two American political parties are both too big to really represent their people in the nation.

  470. Gun detection is good, however gun prevention is better, therefore guns should not be with civilians.... The 6th of the 10 commandments is,' Thou shalt not kill'. A gun is a tool with only one purpose; murder. Owning a gun is being willing to break the 6th commandment, so I don't understand what Christians like yourself are doing with guns...? Also for the record; European schools do not have plans for school shootings. That's something that isn't normal here, and I believe in your schooldays that was something that wasn't normal back then either. EDIT: the camera system can easily be circumvented by putting a newspaper over the gun btw :(

  471. @TheCopaMundial , it is sad you are living in fear. What's worse is, that you are spreading this unnecessary fear to other people. You have to stop living in fear, learn to live in hope, and turn your swords into ploughshares, if you don't want your children to be victims in school shootings.

  474. If our universe is a hologram, is dark matter then the real matter, and instead of dark matter going through us, we are going through dark matter as holograms? (I know I don't understand the holographic principle and I will watch this video again to see if I grasp its definition on second viewing, this question is just to poke for more information)
    1
  475.  @SabineHossenfelder  I have watched your video several times now and I want to check if I got the idea correct: The holographic principle basically means everything is hollow and the information is condensed on the surface, so lets say a hypothetical intelligent dark matter being would be able to peer inside of a planet by sticking its dark matter head into the planet; it would then just see a hollow shell, but when we dig into the planet, we would just increase its surface. Did I get it right or is my thinking still wrong? If I am right, then I think the name "holographic principle" is yet another very confusing name astronomers came up with, "hollow body principle" would have been much better in my humble opinion... :-/

  476. This topic makes me think of Robin Williams and Terry Pratchett, who were both diagnosed with dementia and both took their own lives. Terry Pratchett investigated assisted dying and even documented it publicly on television, and everyone who knew him were at peace with it. Robin Williams however made a rash decision and everyone who knew him are still distraught over this rash decision he made back then. Now I am wondering if it would have been different, when assisted dying would have been available for Robin Williams? Not only for him, but for everyone else too?

  485.  @henryseg  I agree it isn't a skewed isohedral, but it would be a skewed d20 I would prefer over the double 10-sided pyramid d20 dice in the skewed Dungeons & Dragons dice set, if it is feasible of course. :)
    1
  486.  @henryseg  last night I thought of two alternative skewed dice (because insomnia). The first is a skewed d10 of two square frustums glued to each other, which is kind of isohedral when skewed. The second is another skewed d20 alternative of two hexagonal frustums sandwiching a 6-sided rectangular ring. I know it is not pretty and not isohedral, but in case the skewed two 5-sided pyramids sandwiching two 5-sided rectangular rings d20 doesn't work, I would then still prefer the two hexagonal frustums sandwiching a 6-sided rectangular ring over the two 10-sided pyramids glued to each other as a skewed d20. I just realised I really dislike pyramids for some reason and I do not know why...? o_O
