The countdown is on to the end of the current Great Cycle in the “Long Count” calendar of the Classic Period (A.D. 300-900) Maya. Now is a good time to think about how time cycles were really understood and used by the people of the Classic Maya world. In this talk I sketch out the basics of the Maya calendric system, highlighting the nested series of cycles used by farmers, families, traders, ...

Starry Nights -- A Full Dome Video Highlighting Light Pollution on JMU's Campus

We no longer see the night sky that Americans just 2 generations ago were able to witness. Light pollution - the overuse and misuse of artificial light at night - wastes money, wastes energy, endangers our physical, mental, and spiritual health, takes a tremendous environmental toll, and erases the stars from our skies. Worst of all, we have bought into the idea that more light makes us safe. S...

However, Mr, I'm still not sure that black holes can be real. Only upon theoretical suggestions and two images that to me tell nothing, I can't expect them as real.
Thanks a lot for this lecture!
I wish we could see a black hole from close up without, like, wiping out the entire solar system. It would be cool to see if we have the right idea of how they look.
Its like they took the zeiss mk VI projecter and inverted it
My question is do dark matter particles Spin and with that spin create charge
If these are all university students I’m concerned how they got any grades in Science to get in! I knew this when I was a young child 😅
A gibbering, unclear machine gun
Yeah....but what makes the conservation of angular momentum even exist in Spacetime? What makes the spin spin???
Poor audio greatly reduces the usefulness of this video
Just for shiggles, I wanted to try and get a frame of reference for how fast that pulsar is spinning. Assuming that the nucleus of the neutron star is about 10-11km in radius, a rotational rate 30 per second (1,800 per minute) gets to about 2,000km/s. So for every second that passes, a point on the surface (normal to the rotational axis) travels around 2,000 kilometers. That is incredibly difficult to comprehend but interesting regardless.
shiggles, I love it 😀 new to me

Hey Mr JMU, astrologers read your fortune, astronomers are reveared scientists by its math predictions.
That was great, spread the word. Every municipality and institutions of higher learning that gives a care about ALAN should have a link to this as policy & education.
Thank you, Kevin, and agreed!!
I love his passion and enthusiasm. Very interesting lecture.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Dear professor you have not mentioned about Blue straggler pulling such a huge mass towards a far away distance though Einstein said the mass of body increases with increase in velocity
During hydrogen ionisation how far the formation of antihydrogen will affect these theories.
Highly spinning Neutron star by analogy may be compared with muon increasing spin related to fifth force can it be applied to Neutron star spin dynamics dear professor?
Change over from superconductivity towards insulating changes and the electron dimension from 3d to 2d configuration and electron confinement and and roaming differentiation could be analysed.
Does the system becoming a binary star swallowed by Magnatar the inductance swallowing a capacitance leading to decrease in torque value a decrease in spin?
Magnetar becoming a decline in magneticfield a conversion of inductance into a capacitance by analogy the current flow restricted with high voltage built up but later this voltage increase or surging is restricted becoming an interesting capacitance by analogy .

Shouldn't white dwarfs behave as a metal? Metals are technically degenerate gases you have a sea of nuclei in an electron gas.

How can you believe this when they use men in black ll as a example when it is in fact the first men in black movie
Ah astronomy is so fascinating
I'd hoped you might be different, but no, you did NOT answer the question you asked in my opinion! YOU ACTUALLY answered: "How many _Earth VOLUMES_ could fit into a sphere the size of the sun?" I believe MOST people picture the sun being filled with SOLID BALLS or spheres the size of Earth when you ask that... not how MUCH ground up to dust and water you could fit into it... which is what you answered. Google's answer is based upon faulty logic in my opinion which stemmed from the editors of universetoday.com or Fraser Cain not being precise enough either! The actual number of solid spheres the size of Earth that would fit into a sphere the size of the sun is rather difficult to calculate; and would depend upon what "packing factor" you use!
They may be warm, not necessarily hot. And they are not on fire for sure.
This guy rules
Funny how they all 'like' know the answer when it's presented to them.
This young man has an energy and attitude which makes it impossible to stop listening to him. I do disagree with him on one particular point however and it has to do with his love of the band RUSH. You can file them under "G" for garbage with other bands like ZZ Top, Queen, Deep Purple and Nirvana to name a few. Betelgeuse before it became a humongous red giant must not have been much larger than our Sun based on how large it is right now. If the Sun might expand and engulf the Earth during this red giant phase of its life and Betelgeuse's size only engulfs up to Mars how much larger could it have been than our Sun when it was a young star... My thought on why some supernova where a spinning neutron should exist or if it does exist it's not spinning: I think it has something to do with the way in which the star explodes. Meaning it might explode in some weird way where everything becomes part of the nebula or if the neutron star is there but it's not spinning, during the perfect and unusual explosion the neutron star was left but with no spin. I'll take my noble prize now. :) Watching the end of the video the camera showed the speaker and the audience. I was amazed and saddened by how few people were there.
10:25 You said "our sun is a yellow star". A'int it a White star & appears yellow due to atmospheric dispersion of wavelength. I heard 'Neil De'grasse Tyson' say that.
Stars turn into white stars when they're near death

I find beautiful the fact that in this talk, however recent, they were still hoping to detect those predicted yet elusive gravitational waves, which happened just recently. Makes me think (wishful thinking) that we'll still get to witness some even more awesome discoveries. Gravitational waves are groundbreaking (since our observations were previously limited to what we could see -to light, basically-, gravitational waves are another language), but we'll sure get to see something even bigger, and I'm just really excited about it.
Question; are gravitational waves prone to damping by the mass of an object on their path?
Belll did not deserve the NP. What she found she did so accidently when a sensor was left on overnight and she was always under direction. It was not HER work. This is just another feminist non-cause that some weak men like to throw around to make themselves appear "woke" and shut up those who like to bully with threats of censure.

Ugh I fucked this one up on my astronomy exam >.<.
One of the best lecturers in the arena I've ever encountered. So many come off contrived with eye-rolling attempts at "humor" and trumped up enthusiasm, redundancy and dumbed down..
24:30 *Why do they always show a little hot spot where the star gas meets the accretion disk? What is that* ?
That spiral disc of black hole is very hot and fast rotating and in that bright spot as meeting point of different levels of evolution of this star and that spiral disc you see transformation point from one evolution level to evolution level of spiral disc of black hole. In that point you see termo reactions those happened in our sun. Only much more huge. In fact it is meeting point with black hole star in present.
