  1. Does these "parts of Africa" by chance have a GDP per capita below $10,000 and a life expectency below 65? In that case these places have not reached or very recently reached stage 3 of the population transition. If they continue to develop, the impact of Catholicism will be small and brief, and their population growth will eventually stabilize.

  2. I feel that Mars "catching" the asteroid needs more explanation. What prevents the asteroid from slinging back out? A collision with Mars atmosphere? Interference from other gravitational fields? Internal friction?

  3. EZ: Have three, select one, and dispose half.

  4. +Radi Bear (Radioactive TeddyBear) Kurtgezagt argued that the mass surveillance has not made us safer but has instead generated new potentially more severe threats to our security.

  5. "every atom of an element is the same" Nope. Try isotopes!

  6. I hate to be that guy, but we're really heading towards scarcity due to exponentially rising demand and the global elite seems decisive that AI must be used for mass control e.g. trough surveillance, pre-crime, censorship and propaganda.

  7. If we can only clearly see red dwarfs in our neighborhood, is it possible that a portion of gravitational influence of dark matter is actually red dwarfs?

  8. So what if I'm in a circular orbit around a black hole? Then I'm in free fall yet I'm at stable distance from the singularity. Will time be influenced or not? Why?

  9. Why did you illustrate the observable universe as a cylinder rather than a sphere? May cause misunderstanding.

  10. Phreaker1997 "The observable universe consists of the galaxies and other matter that can, in principle, be observed from Earth at the present time because light and other signals from these objects have had time to reach Earth since the beginning of the cosmological expansion. Assuming the universe is isotropic, the distance to the edge of the observable universe is roughly the same in every direction. That is, the observable universe is a spherical volume (a ball) centered on the observer." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe You are right though, we don't know the shape of the full universe.

  11. Watch Adam Curtis documentaries if you haven't already done that.

  12. "...just a theory..." Like the theory of evolution and general relativity? "Theory" does not mean that it is has no empirical support. This was surprisingly ignorant for this channel.

  13. At the university I work at, research on automation of product development is big. The goal is typically that the customer requests a customised product through a web interface. The product is then automatically designed, produced, and sent to the customer.

  14. "literally turned into spaghetti" But is the spaghetti al dente?

  15. One of the main fears about overpopulation is resource scarcity. The sustainability of an earth population of 11-12 billion should have been discussed.

  16. 3:33 Rick & Morty reference! :D

  17. The risk of rare catastrophic events seems negligible until they happen. I think this is the fear that holds nuclear energy back.

  18. Why is hydropower not considered a renewable source of energy?

  19. So... at what point did the host get fever? Or did it ever get to that point in this video? I'm still confused.
