  1. The guy should automate this experiment and put it on hydrothermal power, so it never stops. Then a few thousand years after, there'll be a zombie apocalypse when an ancient hidden lab is accidentally breached by a curious adventurer.

  2. Yes exactly, gravitational fields fade over distance. I would think that the same applies to these waves.

  3. How much time did you spend cleaning that kitchen? That is the cleanest dank kitchen I have ever seen.

  4. I have to wonder with both of them being chemists and his wife's strange letter, who actually was the inventor of all this, and who was simply good enough to understand the invention and had the "correct" gender for the time to be recognized.

  5. I wasn't wondering, but I still like to know, thanks

  6. Nice footage. You really love that drone, don't you? I am not sure I like the over-abundance of long pauses in the narration to fit it to length of the obviously prioritized drone footage.

  7. There's also this thing called ghosting and the LEDs in monitor panels are not actually parallel, they are arranged in a grid, with each pixel in the grid changing progressively, albeit very fast. A lot of this contributes to the illusion.

  8. If I could make an ad on a giant channel that would get me money to buy a self-driving car, I would. There's a moral dilemma right there.

  9. This is only one theory. And it has a lot of problems. So thinking that big bang happened is not a "misconception", it's a valid scientific opinion to have. That part of the video was misleading. There is more proof at least that the big band happened, than there is of it's absence or the infinity of the universe. Plus infinity of the universe contradicts the law of conservation of energy, which in turn contradicts the theory of relativity itself. A multiverse is a more likely explanation in this case.

  11. Can someone explain the Bill Nye thing? What is that about?

  12. So the vehicle's fuselage is being pushed by the wind, which turns the wheels and that turns the propeller? So if I wanted to build something like this in the air (e.g. for a drone), would I need to install an inverted propeller (that would be spun by the wind pushing on fins) in place of a wheel and then connected it via gears to the forward-thrust fan? Also, the assumption you made about the vehicle creating a low-wind-speed area behind it should be possible to test by fitting a sail on it, no? Then the area behind would be big enough to easily measure. This is very counter-intuitive, but at the same time I can't shake the feeling that I've seen exactly this concept somewhere back in Russia when I was in a RC plane club a long time ago... I remember some weird-looking thing with 3 fans that could go ridiculously fast along the wind with no engine.

  13. This is nothing new, I don't quite understand what's so special about these? These things are not going to be used in every situation, since what they did not mention in the video is that they are very vulnerable to stress, which limits them to small mechanisms in controlled and contained environment where forces are always predictable. They are also very vulnerable to changes in temperature and depending on material - chemical composition of their surroundings. Anything that affects the material from which it makes enough to deform it, will render the mechanism useless. That's why are used in keyboards and mice, for example, but I highly doubt that clutch disk will survive in an actual car for very long.

  14. With the move to service models I guess this trend will finally start to die off. As long as we all require it - and that's why videos like this are important.

  15. I mean its like EA games - they exist because people buy them. I will never understand people who buy that kind of trash, but fact is there are millions of them. Don't fall for clickbait and youtube will not make it important. I think overall YT is a typical example of an non-curated platform like Steam that has a lot of crap that is sifted through by an AI, but unlike digital distribution stores, which have recently got some competition that emphasises quality of content, video hosting is exceptionally expensive business and no one has succeeded in competing with YT. There must be a curated platform for quality channels that can negotiate and integrate those sponsorship deals on behalf of creators that is, perhaps, not even taking any cuts but rather charges for hosting videos. IMO that business model would work, if it gets the audience to itself. But how could it?

  16. This is a very important video tbh. Personally I thought of luck as a prerequisite of success. As in you must first get lucky, before your skill and dedication start to matter and it is in recognizing this opportunity that your skill is first demonstrated, but outside of this channel's community, I don't most people would realize this. I'll remember to share this video if such question arises.

  17. The greatest technology we have ever invented is writing. And dank memes of course.

  18. What part of concrete production causes emissions? Is it just the energy to heat up all the stuff? I was expecting this crucial part of information to be in the video, quite disappointed that it wasn't.

  22. I don't know if I am convinced. If the speed of light was different in different directions, wouldn't the observable universe have a considerable skew of information density in some directions over others? Yet it is more or less evenly spread out around us, is it not?

  23. Is there any value to having a "perfectly efficient market"? It always seemed to me like a casino, these derivatives. Exacerbating fluctuations in the market, elevating lives of some at expense of ruining lives of others. And with automation now handling these equations, the whole market is working on offloading the risk from the richest to the poorest. Every year as it gets more and more accessible, it also gets less and less profitable and riskier for anyone who doesn't have hundreds of thousands or more to invest. Wouldn't it be better if derivatives were just banned?

  24. This competition is sort of pathetic TBH - all of those ideas were really good, but of the 3 presented finalists, predictably, won the one with the least practical application, just because it's topic was trendy. Basically sums up modern science. I mean I like space, but I like practical innovation more. We can now barely make commercial spaceflight viable, it's not even the right century before that girl's invention has any practical use.

  25. I wonder if the anti-religious nutjobs realise they are exactly the same as religious ones. This comment section reminds me of 2 dogs barking ferociosly at each other across the street without either knowing what they bark about, or why. What I wonder is: how does that dining motor actually able to walk across that molecule? I understand the basic process of DNA replication - electron configuration of the molecules are imbalanced, so when the mRNA (is that correct name?) aligns the other half, they attract to each other and bond, but this walking mechanism detaches and re-attaches itself repeatedly along the same molecule. How?

  26. This somehow appears very unscientific. Now why would that be...

  27. We are having a hard time beating back no longer relevant instincts. Religious fervor is (thankfully) on the decline, but people still pre-order videogames, buy Apple products, and fight over political messages someone put into their heads. I am having difficulty telling whether things are improving or just changing, due to higher variety of things that are easer to punch into system 1.
