  1. It amuses me that we still generate electricity from induction derived by the movement of a fluid through a turbine after 150 years of doing so but I suppose occasionally when looking for a breakthrough people sometimes stumble on the most efficient method first.

  2.  @DarkElfDiva  Joe hit the nail on the head when he said that the Victorian era was a transitional phase from the old to the new, people often remark that their life today is very different to their childhood due to the changes we have witnessed over the past 20, 40 or 80 years but imagine being alive in the Victorian era? They literally went from a world governed by superstition to one governed by science and saw the rise of engineering, electricity, hygiene and medicine. Being born in 1830 and dying in 1900 you would have watched everything you had ever known be replaced by things that would have been utterly alien to your parents.

  4. That's like the cryonics episode of Star Trek TNG where they find 3 folks who were frozen back in our time and one of them is a jackass who witters on about money and stocks and how he's gonna sue Picard if he can't get put through to his lawyer.

  5. Laika's capsule was one of many Russian spacecraft to eventually land in China, albeit after enduring the 3,000 degree temperature of re-entry and then bursting into flames when it hit the ground. It is said that when those first Chinese folk opened the capsule they found the aroma inside it to be irresistible and Chinese cuisine was changed forever.

  7.  @erinbsullivan444  Psychopaths are not stupid, they know what punishment is and they don't want to be punished so by that very definition they strive to be good just like the rest of us but they often fail at it because they are wired to take what they desire and their desires are stronger. A high functioning psychopath on the other hand might have no intention of being good because they know how to get around the system, Patrick Bateman from American Pscho and the serial killer Ted bundy are examples of high functioning psychopaths. The big difference between good people and good psychopaths are that the former are good due to compassion while the latter are good due to fear of consequences.

  8. There is nothing merciful about cutting a creatures throat and letting it bleed to death unless mercy means a different thing in your culture. I would take a bolt to the forehead if the alternative was choking and gasping on my own escaping blood.

  9.  @mattperrin8372  There are hard core conspiracy theorists who believe in the nonsense they peddle, but I believe the majority of the "this is fake" commenters on videos really are just trolling - on the internet it is 'hip and trendy' to hop on a bandwagon and become part of the cool crowd by parroting what others say. Cabbages enjoy the company of fellow cabbages...

  10. There was still a lot of upheaval at the millennium, it just wasn't as infrastructure killing as people thought it would be. The French being the most nuclear-reliant country on the planet took Y2K very seriously and were eradicating it from infrastructure as early as 1990.

  18. In China if your company screws up you get the death penalty, and not after 15 years, they just take you outside after your trial and shoot you, or put you to sleep in a death van. It hasn't made their company's safer because people who earn a million dollars a year will still cut as many corners as they need in order to keep hold of that job, it's a case of "If you don't do it then the board will hire someone who will".

  22.  @SofaKingShit  My next door neighbour got one of his arms degloved while working in a bakery, he tried to rearrange a tray of buns in an automated oven when the extremely hot tray above that one moved down on to his arm and pulled it inwards. When the tray released his arm it was still attached at the shoulder but all the skin that was previously on it was stuck to the bottom of the tray. He got a six-figure sum from the bakery but his arm looks like a prop from Frankenstein now.

  30.  @dadsytsdfsgs  The power you put back into the grid doesn't literally go into the grid it just goes into the nearest distribution substation to be fed back to those in your locale who need it, meaning the transformer that is connected to the grid can pull less power from it.

  37. Because they know that capitalism isn't sustainable forever due to automation and employment being mutually exclusive and because they know that social instability in capitalist nations comes from those at the bottom of the pyramid who are either unemployed, have insecure jobs or are paid a pittance to work long hours. When car plants that employ 6,000 people to make 100 cars each day become plants that employ 100 people to make 6,000 cars each day those other 5,900 people are going to need food and shelter which they can no longer pay for. This is when you have to choose between that evil socialism that must be the spawn of Satan himself (pfft, socialism **spit**) or watch society fall apart as the masses of low-skilled peasants bay for the blood of the bourgeoisie and their masters up in their ivory towers.

I'd like to see a show hosted by Tom Scott and Joe Scott, they could call it Great Scott(s), Tom would be the Scott in the field (or Scott on location if you prefer) while Joe would be the Scott in the studio with the fast facts. Every week there would be a Scott Topic, a guest Scott and even Scottpetitions for big prizes, not to mention the actual Scott Petition where the Scottdience vote for next week's Scott Topic.

Knowing how the BBC loves to build robots that look uncannily nothing like the creature they are studying I would expect the rover to be a black clothes store mannequin holding a spear with a camera in it's forehead and tiny wheels in it's soles.

  66. That's the biggest problem I foresee. While you are in a tube you might as well be in space because you could be a hundred miles from safety if you ever broke down, if there was a power failure that left you in a remote location between two stops you would either have to hope help arrived before your oxygen ran out or wish for a mechanism that could allow your section of the tube to be sealed and pressurised in order for you to exit the capsule. Something that would be unlikely if you were underground as it would require emergency oxygen tanks to be installed every other mile.

  68.  @AmyAnnLand  I had actually wondered about that just the other day while watching a thing about ISIS, the about-to-be deceased always seem to be very stoic, I had thought maybe they were drugged but I could see ISIS torturing them with fake executions if they are held captive for years on end. I've seen drug cartels torture and behead folk and they tend to drug their victims so they won't flail about during their dismemberment.

  70. Use your own brain, dude. Don't try to be more clever than the NASA boys without even widening your vision, that is the epitome of pathetic and arrogance. And it's not 'mouse fart for a month' it's perpetual mouse fart. As I understand it even ion drives eventually run out of fuel so how would an ion drive ever get up to the speeds required to reach another system within a lifetime or two if it maxes out after a decade? An EM-drive designed to give the same thrust as an ion drive (say a 1km diameter machine as opposed to the 1m diameter machine that is an ion drive) would still continue to accelerate after a decade, and after 50 years, after a century you could be travelling at closer to light than to standstill. Would become feasible to build a monstrous vehicle if the science showed it was capable of reaching the likes of Alpha Centauri within a couple of lifetimes, accelerating for 50% of the journey and decelerating the other 50%. That is what excites folks, not the thrust, but the lack of fuel - just add solar panels and release.

In the rest of the developed world unemployment is still rising because we would rather try to fix a problem without creating a problem and so our polluters remain shut. In fact I got to see Didcot coal power station get demolished 10 days ago, being an American you can probably go see an old coal power plant get switched back on to create jobs for your technically progressive economy.

  85. The company that puts a small mine on the moon to refine He3 for pickup would return it's investment a thousandfold within a year, it's just that that initial investment would still be something that is out of reach of even the private sector at the moment, but a lot of rich folk are working on it.

  91. Neat recent theory about dogs: A year or two ago it was theorised that the reason dogs tilt their head when they are being spoken to is because they are trying to see more of your face, or more specifically the lower half of your face, in order to better read your mood. A dog has a muzzle/snout and this means it's eyes only pick up 50% of what is in front of it, the lower half of it's vision being just it's muzzle, when a dog tilts it's head it can then see both your eyes and your mouth at the same time and better understand your mood/commands. The dog is basically working it's way around a built-in handicap, that of having a long nose.

  94.  @UpcycleElectronics  We would need an enormous breakthrough before satellite-based comms are used in anything other than emergencies as the latency is huge compared to ground-based systems. Since electrons and photons are both limited by the speed of light then a 1,000km point to point trip will beat out a 15,000km trip across a couple of satellites everytime when you consider that every millisecond counts.

  95. Well that is obvious, you cannot inbreed for a full 5,000 years. After 10 or so generations of direct inbreeding you would only be creating sterile monstrosities that would die young. The point was that they inbred as much as they could in order to keep the bloodline pure, and by pure I mean wrecked to shit.

  99. A British collection system was demonstrated in January where a micro-satellite with a harpoon captured a larger object as part of a test, the next test is in a few months. The idea is to launch a payload of 50-80 of these and have them grab a piece of debris each and pull it down into the atmosphere to burn up. The biggest obstacle was designing the harpoon as suction cups and adhesives don't work in vacuum and an electromagnet or permanent magnet would be too complex and/or extra weight. https://www.universetoday.com/141520/british-satellite-tests-its-space-junk-harpoon/

  104. Successful doesn't mean more efficient, just easier, today making a robot biped is tricky but someday it'll be as easy as making a robot spider. In fact considering how far we have come in gyroscopic tech (our phones know their exact orientation at all times) I would say that that day is very close, if not here already. A standing human remains balanced because our brain takes a reading from the vestibular system in our ear and then makes tiny adjustments to the angle of our ankles, Boston Dynamics could easily replicate that system with a gyroscope in the head and an ankle joint capable of very precise movements. Once balance has been taken care of walking and then running are a piece of cake.

  124. More than 90% of the 'shit' in orbit is found at a very specific altitude, if you build your industries at a different altitude you will be fine. The ISS is below this altitude, it costs NASA and their partners a fortune in fuel to keep boosting the station any time it is in danger of falling into the atmosphere but that cost is much cheaper than taking the risk of placing the station a thousand miles higher where it could be in the danger zone of impacts. Now any sort of industry would likely be magnitudes larger than the ISS so they would have to exist much much higher than where the ISS currently is so you would have the ISS below the debris fields but the factories above the debris fields.

  128. Not sure if you are being serious but I'll bite. The ISS is in a constant state of falling and so the heavier you make it the faster it falls and the more often they need to boost it back up into a safer orbit. To make a 'space elevator' feasible you would need an anchor (the space station) that is heavier than the entire weight of the elevator and travelling fast enough around the planet that the centrifugal force offsets the weight of the elevator pulling it down.

Reasoning, logic and rationale are incredibly useful and they aren't unique to democrats - we can all use them. Some just chose not to and live in ignorance.

  142. That's what the grand unified theory hopes to find out but it did get a huge breakthrough two years ago when it was found that gravity and light travel at roughly the same speed strengthening the prospect of their being a gravity particle. The gravity-carrying graviton. The GW170817 gravitational anomaly was detected by the LIGO detector in August 2017 at the same time that light from the origin of the signal showed a star going kilonova, proving that if you managed to make the Sun disappear it would not only take 8 minutes for the skies of Earth to go black but it would also be 8 minutes before the Earth and Moon flung each other out into space.

  148.  @JaydragonM  Yeah, they are huge numbers but when you consider that they are taking place over such a large area then it really slows down the flow rate. With regard to what you were thinking about though there was a bit in the video where Joe explained that the gyre (the undercurrent at the bottom of the ocean that carries cold water) has pinch points, or bottlenecks. Normally the gyre is exactly the same as the Denmark Falls, it moves absolutely enormous amounts of water but because it happens across huge spans of the ocean floor you would be hard-pressed to guess that it was even flowing - but in some areas such as where the gyre enters the Caribbean the flow is narrowed to such a degree that the rate increases by a lot. If a submarine ventured into that sort of area it would be like a canoe in rapids and the crew would be in for a wild ride. Before they were likely smashed into something and killed.

  193. The ISS is nearing the end of it's life but that is more to do with it's usefulness rather than it's durability since we've learned as much as we can with it so why not just tow it out to the moon and use it, or some of it, for the gateway? It's compartments might be between 20 and 30 years old but it's not as if things rust in space - attach a Soyuz to push it and then set course for the moon. If we get there and it turns out something has rattled loose from the burn or we can't get it into the required orbit then what have we lost? Only really a bunch of fuel since the Soyuz that pushed it there could be detached and brought home. Also the eventual inhabitants of the moon will have 400 tonnes of pancaked aluminium they can recycle 🤣 A win win!

  195. When you dock a Soyuz with the ISS you are effectively giving the ISS an engine, since the capsule has it's own engine. I suppose you could fill a Soyuz payload area with fuel and then dock it to the station, the problem is orienting the station in the right direction as manoeuvring in space would require thrusters on every surface of a vessel in order to make course corrections and apply braking thrust when you get to your destination, they would have to go outside the station and retrofit it with dozens of little boosters.

The reason that things like corn and wheat and rice became the "go to" crops over 20,000 years is because they could feed masses of people on the smallest harvests. I understand what you were saying about "other things grow at the equator" but dude - engage your brain for a moment. We don't need other things to grow at the equator, we need things to grow as quickly and efficiently as corn, wheat, soy, the shit that our livestock eats. The shit that billions of humans now rely on.

  232. You are confusing cell death with cellular destruction. It takes a few minutes without oxygen for a brain cell to turn itself off (what we consider to be cell death and why we use the term "time is brain" if a person is having a stroke) but it takes hours, or even days if a body is placed in a cool place like a morgue, for cellular damage or destruction to begin. This is a long enough period to prepare and freeze a body while the brain is dead, but intact. Before CPR you were considered dead when your heart stopped, today you are considered dead when your brain stops, but in 50 or a hundred years the legal term for death might only be when someone's brain is damaged beyond use because there might be a means of re-starting the electro-chemical mechanisms in the brain of someone who has been dead for hours.

In fact it surprises me that both of them, and the Chinese, are setting goals such as "go back to the moon" or "be the first to put a person on Mars" because if I had their technology and wealth my goal would be to mine an asteroid. Some of the asteroids drifting around the Sun hold more precious metals in their small mass than the entirety of the Earth, harvesting that would be a literal gold mine.

  270.  @__WJK__  Dude, we can't alter what volcanoes and nature does but we can alter what we do and it is we that have created the massive increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. There have been many enormous eruptions of volcanoes over the past 500 years and all have caused increases in CO2, but starting around 200 years ago CO2 concentration started to jump up in huge increments. Unless there is a super massive volcano somewhere that kicked in around the same time that the industrial revolution started and that volcano has somehow gone unnoticed for 200 years while belching out billions of tonnes of CO2 every week then we are clearly the cause of the increase. Tens of millions of chimneys, smokestacks, foundries and mills all over the planet pumping out carbon from coal 24/7 when just 50 or 100 years before there was absolutely no industry and humans really only burned wood to stay warm while a handful of blacksmiths used coal. That is an enormous change. The world went from white to black overnight, in some places literally - the midlands of the UK are known as "the black country" because starting around 1750 there was so much industry that everything from grass to trees turned black from the soot. This phenomenon quickly went around the world and every major nation developed similar industries that churned out carbon into th4e atmosphere every second of every day. That shit adds up and it overtakes any volcano.

We already walk around on spongy surfaces though since we need to cushion our footfalls to avoid damaging our feet and wearing out the floor, the former is solved by our padded feet and padded footwear and the latter by floor coverings like carpet or linoleum. Also energy-providing surfaces are not noticeably spongy so they would be imperceptible from a regular floor covering.

Don't let the Mason-Dixon line hit you on the ass on your way out!" Had you done that then the people of the United States would likely now have bases and spacecraft all over the solar system while the people of the Confederate States would be on a par with Mexico and would always be trying to sneak into the US. Instead you folks thought "Let's keep all of those hillbilly nuggets, this decision surely won't bite us on the ass some day by creating a two-party stalemate between progression and regression where the country eternally stagnates!"

  280. No one wants to block anything, we want to stop the current block. Scientists want to lower CO2 to natural levels so that the planet can follow it's natural path, at the moment we actively ARE blocking that path because we are heating up a planet that is supposed to start cooling down in a few hundred years. That cooling is never going to happen if we keep flooding the atmosphere with CO2.

  281.  @donaldcarey114  Time is exactly what we need though. Also we can't adapt to live without food. Climate danger is not about "Oooh, it'll be uncomfortable outdoors", climate danger is about the fact that every major food crop we rely on only grows in a small window, too cold and the harvest fails, too hot and likewise. If the planet heats up then the tropical band we call the equator will increase in size, this means the land that is perfect for growing our food (much of the northern hemisphere) will shrink as we are forced to plant crops closer to the arctic in order to harvest them in the right temperatures. Look at it this way, if much of the US, Europe and Russia (the world's three food bowls) were to become arid like north Africa then where do we find the land to grow food for a population of 9, 10 or 11 billion people? An ever increasing population requires more land to plant food, not less land, and if the world warms by more than a degree or so ambiently then our green and arable lands will become dustbowls and we will have to rely on the rocky, dead soil of Canada, Scandinavia and Siberia growing enough food for all XX billion of us in 2100. So far there is something like 7 billion humans and 20 billion livestock on Earth and between us we eat a lot of corn, wheat and soy every day. Three notoriously temperature-sensitive crops.

If the planet goes to shit we can't be smug because we will have to live on it, but if we manage to avoid a catastrophe then the numbskulls who think the whole thing is a hoax will be the smug ones. Just as the Y2K naysayers were smug on the 1st of January 2000, but who we now know were morons. So I envisage that in 50 years conservative idiots will be saying "I told you so!" to every environmentalist they meet but in 100 years it will become known that we only dodged a bullet because of the 100+ nations that adopted the Paris accords and set about becoming carbon neutral. Americans will probably be global pariahs then but they won't mind as they will be isolationist again. Hopefully.

Eventually the Earth would be a barren wasteland covered entirely 100 foot deep in baseball cards.

With modern technology this process could be automated with some kind of scanner at the hospital that a midwife would feed the newborn into for neurological analysis and it would give the results to the expectant parents along with the child, if it has passed - if it hasn't they would instead get consolation gift coupons and the baby would be yeeted out of the hospital onto some nearby rocks.

  317.  @monkeynova2012  No one has ever said the climate never changed in the past, to do so would be idiotic. No one today is saying that climate change is an "unusual event", what we are saying is that we have turbo-charged it to the point that we are now the driving force behind it and we are altering it beyond what the planet can passively offset. The Earth can repair itself, easily, give it time and whatever statistic that rises will eventually fall and those that fall will eventually rise, but over the past 100 years the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by several magnitudes. Now I know how your lot like to say "volcanoes", but can you please explain to me that if volcanoes are what cause the increases in CO2 then where is this enormous secret volcano that has been erupting continuously for 100 years that could explain why CO2 levels suddenly started skyrocketing and have continued to do so ever since? I'm very eager to know where this volcano is that pumps several billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every single week. Conveniently this massive-yet-unnoticed volcano only started farting out gases at exactly the same time that humans started building factories, foundries and mills all over the planet that eat coal 24/7. Amazing coincidence, but I'll give up my beliefs and join your side if you can give me a logical explanation of why CO2 levels went from equilibrium to we-really-need-to-get-a-handle-on-this. Maybe it's aliens?

It just won't explode because the fuse is designed to explode when it hits something utterly solid, soil is thick but not always hard enough to trigger a fuse. Europe is still covered in millions of unexploded ordinance (UXO). Also Russia does not own those fields - Russia has withdrawn to the Donbas (east Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk regions), 80% of Ukraine belongs to Ukraine again. But they are still hitting Ukrainian farmlands with ordinance for some reason...

  396. Vladimir Komarov. Often mistakenly thought to have burned up on re-entry thanks to a gruesome photo of his charred remains, he actually survived re-entry but his capsule hit the ground like a bullet and burst into flames due to the parachute failing to deploy. Incidentally he had a very strong feeling it would be a suicide mission and so volunteered for it after realising his good friend, and national hero, Yuri Gagarin had been put forward for it. The Soyuz 1 was unfinished but the Soviet brass demanded a manned demonstration of it's capabilities for the 50th anniversary of the 1917 revolution, when Komarov could not talk them out of it he demanded that he take the place of Gagarin and he died when his doubts about the untested spacecraft proved correct. The Soyuz would however go on to become the longest and safest (by an enormous margin) crew capsule to ever be used as we still rely on them today 62 years later, albeit a much improved version that can pretty much launch, fly and dock itself if need be. It will be sad to see it retired now that SpaceX, Boeing and Roscosmos are all trialling new crew capsules.

Farraday used his hand, we use whatever fluid is at hand - water, wind or steam. It's less efficient than pumping electrons using a chemical reaction but it's a million times easier to accomplish so the inefficiency is forgiven, especially when the fluids in question are usually natural and abundant.

They have those sirens in the UK near every mental hospital and they test them every month, if you ever hear the real thing it means someone has escaped and you should lock yourself indoors to stop yourself from getting eaten.

  419. I had never heard of the Drake Equasion before but I am glad to know there is an official name for something that I have always realised. Whenever someone I'm talking to tries to convince me that there "must be thousands of civilisations out there" I remind them that if we are somewhere in the middle of a universe that has existed for 13 billion years and might exist for 13 billion more then the five hundred years between us discovering electricity and eventually wiping ourselves out would appear no larger than a speck of dust near the middle of a mile-long length of rope. I don't believe life will be unique to our solar system but I do believe that most other intelligent civilisations are either long dead or they have not yet emerged from their primordial soup, because the likelihood of them reaching their technological apex at the same time as us would be astronomical. Pun intended.

  441. I would imagine a lot of what we know about the Aztecs comes from the Spaniards who crushed them and stole all of their possessions 30 years after landing in the Americas. If I had just committed a genocide to steal thousands of tonnes of gold for my king I would probably paint the people I happily massacred as mindless savages who sacrificed women and children. It still angers me that people always bring up us Brits as colonial monsters when the Spanish barely had any interest in colonising the new world, they just wanted to kill everyone that lived there to steal their valuables.

  466.  @Muckytuja  The problem is that follow on technology from fossil fuels might not be as lucrative. The big thing about fusion is that the fuel for it is water and oil companies can monopolise something that's 200 metres under the ground but not something that is in every stream and lake and river. Cold fusion or hot fusion or even a breakthrough in fission that brought nuclear power plants back into vogue would all do huge harm to the big 6 oil companies that fuel the world.

  473. People have this idea that our brain is a thousand times faster than a computer and has a thousand times the capacity of a huge hard drive, but the reality is that our brains are only exceptional in the way they handle data, not how fast it can process it or how much it can store but just how it manipulates it. When it comes to memory that manipulation is in the form of association. Our brain is theorised to have a storage capacity of roughly 100 terabytes (though estimates vary widely) and possibly as low as 10 terabytes, so how do we store 90 years or so of memories on a "hard drive" that a home movie enthusiast could fill in under a month? To save space our memory uses a compression technique known as association, and association is thought to be the reason why our dreams can seem so eccentric and surreal. When your brain creates a new memory of you going to the park it doesn't record the entire event moment-by-moment like a video camera would - that would use up far too much valuable space - it creates associations to stuff you previously remembered. If the park layout hasn't changed since you first visited then why record it all again? Your brain just creates a hyperlink from the new memory "visit to the park" to what it already had stored "my first visit to the park" then adds any new changes or additions to it, this is why if you try to remember a place you haven't been to in a while you get a fuzzy image in your head that can vary between how it looks now and how you first saw it. Your brain won't waste valuable memory recording something twice if it can just reference an old memory and add the new cliff notes to it. By adulthood you have such a collection of experiences, from the noise a plane makes to the smell of freshly cut grass, so that whenever your brain creates a new memory that memory can consist entirely of associations leading to dreams becoming a hazy mess - a train station with a door that leads to your parent's old house and inside is your aunt talking to Billy Connolly about Alsatian dogs. Associations run amok!

The 80's really did have robots everywhere. In fact so did many songs and much of pop culture in general (everybody do the robot dance), there were robots or A.I. depicted in everything, I think it's because we thought humanity had peaked or something and so the robots had to be just around the corner. we had cities in space (Skylab and Mir), spaceships that could go into space and return (Space Shuttle), supersonic planes (Concorde), giant hovercraft that could cross the English channel in 20 mins, and computers that could fit on a desk so every office and many homes could have one.
