I've been re-watching some of Sabine's older videos lately, and I'd like to compliment on her improved English. It's not that her older English ability was bad, but it has improved. She sounds completely comfortable in it today. Congratulations Sabine.
i just want to LEARN and i love her accent. i need brush up on German. i loved being in Germany and the people and lifestyles are wonderful and how i live my life today.
But active and passive mass are reallythe same thingright--since the passive massive object creates its own gravitational field that affects the other object whcih then plays role of passive right?? so what's the point?
In regards to the fallout maps, I was in grade school in the late fifties. During the 57-59 time period, we were asked to donate our ‘baby’ teeth. Cesium looks like Calcium. By collecting the teeth, they were able to conduct a mass autopsy on the first 8-10 years of population. I lived in St. Louis, MO. The Philippe map shows a ‘hot’ spot in southern Illinois and Missouri and western Kentucky. There are several small signals on the east coast. I’m didn’t hear how the authors identified fallout. It’s disjoint areas, which makes me suspicious of the quality of the data. It’s interesting that it took 60 years to report their findings.
If they had found out earlier, goverment had to pay a lot more compensation. Those who lived in 1945 are at least 78 years old now, so many of them have passed away already and remaining ones will do so in a couple of years.
Artifacts of WWII-era radioisotope refining locations Weldon Springs, Missouri (on the Missouri River) and Portsmouth, Ohio (across from Kentucky on the Ohio River), both of which drain into the Mississippi River at or near the hot spot).
In our back yard, against a granitic hillside, the local Radon is more than 100-times the radioactive fallout. Plus there was extensive mining here. Anywhere where there was Gold, there was probably more radiation.
The Final Fantasy VII Victory Fanfare soundbite has cemented me as a loyal fan of Sabine for life. Whether it is Sabine herself or a paid editor it don't matter. Loyalty comes in strange ways.
@@eyeofthasky lol. Well the clip I felt that I heard was the original 1997 FFVII Victory Fanfare. I could be wrong. But very similar. I'm a lifetime FF player and I literally have played them all. With only not finishing FFXI and not finishing FFXIV. I'm actually right near the end of FFXVI as I make this comment and I suspect I will finish it within a few more hours. It is by far the darkest FF title besides perhaps Stranger of Paradise but I'd still say some elements of XVI make it a darker title. In fact I would say it's easily one of the darkest rpgs ever. It's blown my mind and really has surprised me more than a few times. Anyways ya, as a lifer to FF it's hard for me to not notice a connection to any of the games. The only game or series I actually like more is the Xeno series with Xenosaga being my favorite, than Xenogears. After that it's a cross between FFVI and FFVII. And now it's probably going to be FFXVI for number 5.
@@LionKimbro lol Are you asking for my opinion or telling me that FFVII is the best? It's always been hard for me to decide for a few reasons. FFIV was my first FF I ever played. I was actually really young and hated it the first time. Couldn't stand all the reading and I felt like there was no action. Than randomly, and I mean completely randomly one day I thought about and I felt like giving it another go. So I rented it and started liking it. Than I saw previews for FFVII probably a year before the Playstation was even released and loved what I saw. So I had my parents buy a Final Fantasy game for me for the snes. I couldn't remember if it was FF2 or FF3 (IV or VI) I thought it was 3 so I wanted to finish it. My parents bought it and I was so confused. But I fell in love with it pretty quick even tho it took me a couple hours into the game to get over my madness of getting the wrong one. So FFVI was my first one I beat. Than it was IV. Than it was VII. But FFVI holds a certain nostalgia to me and I think it has the best music. It also has 2 of my favorite characters in a FF game. Terra and Locke. Locke has the most heartbreaking and incredible story of any game in my opinion. But I had some incredible time with FFVII . Plus I was a little older and the music was amazing too. I loved the story tho I didn't even understand completely I still loved it. It's a mix between VI and VII for me. The VII Remake I love and I love what they are doing with it. Tifa in the Remake has actually became my new favorite FF character. When it's finally complete I might love the Remake more than the original. But it really is hard to choose between VI and VII. If I had to choose tho. I choose VI.
The way I heard it, scientists in the northeastern United States were concerned about widespread fallout from open-air nuclear tests. They took detailed air samples and actually discovered airborne plutonium that could have only come from the nuclear tests in the southwestern United States. Their work helped get the first nuclear test band treaty passed, which mandated that all nuclear tests had to be conducted underground. But they also found surprisingly large amounts of lead in the air. This eventually led to the end of the use of leaded gasoline.
As someone around back then (1970s), the use of leaded gasoline in motor vehicles in the USA was only discontinued because it it damaged catalytic converters which became mandatory in 1975 to control CO and HC emissions. Leaded remained available at gas stations for older cars through the 1980s. Had it not been incompatible with catalytic converters, leaded gasoline would have continued to be used until January 1,1996 when it was banned by a specific new EPA rule under the Clean Air Act. But probably the only reason that the EPA was able to pass that new regulation was becasue leaded gasoline had become pretty much unavailable in gas stations becasue few pre-1975 cars were still around. Of course, in today's political milieau , new regulations like this would be nearly impossible.
We still use leaded fuel in avgas 100LL, used in General Aviation. As a result, homes and schools near airports have exceptionally high levels of lead compared to other areas around cities.
With all the annoyance & trepidation that Sabine shows each time she answers the telephone, it's surprising that she continues to be so enthusiastic each time she says "and of course the telephone will ring."

I appreciate you and the other science educators efforts to help us be informed. Yours I like for the quick and easily digested updates. The phone calls are a great running gag too 😁. Keep up the good work. For unhoused people like myself it is a huge help with keeping informed while having extremely limited resources.
Is it just me or is there an extraordinary amount of interesting topics this week? I needed this since I just heard the news about what will happen in the Atlantic Ocean by 2025 if things don't improve. Picking two topics from this week's episode to comment on here, I'll have to leave out the two that work so well as daydream material of my favorite sci-fi novel that's writhing itself in my head- manufacturing space stuff in space using cold welding on the dark side of the moon. As for "how does consciousness work" (that's funny because it's about knowing something about the thing you know stuff about with) it introduces a new model complimentary of a previous model both of which I previously knew nothing about. Anyway, lots of corollaries there with theoretical linguistics about the origins of language. Although it was introduced as some sort of MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) device you might find in a smartphone (which I'm really interested in) the "laser cooled quantum drum" made my day thinking of how lasers could be used to phase oppositionally vibrate materials to make the atoms of those materials become more still thus cooling them. The idea of reducing lasers to microscopic size to cool miniscule pieces of various materials to measure environmental effects is really exciting. Although reducing the size of the laser wouldn't be necessary, it would seem reducing it to be small enough to be directly effected by the temperature of the target material could reduce a lot of the internal circuitry.
Wonderful combination of information and, dare I say it, entertainment. Her Pixie's reference suprised me. I was a drummer in a punk-band in early 90s and our mindset was very a pixyish.
@SabineHossenfelder, please have a look on the Brazilian research project from Campinas University over the use of Agave to produce alcohol in a semi-desert area in Brazil. The project is in a very advanced stage and has demonstrated cabon negative impact to produce the alcohol, and would not compete in space with food crops as the sugar cane does. The project is called Brave.
Sabine - I just wanted to tell you that over the last year or so, you've become my absolute favorite science communicator. I wish I could support you on Patreon or here (or even subscribe to Brilliant) but as I am not able, I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do.
Awesome. You've been my favorite science communicator for some time and I wonder now why I wasn't subscribed before! Probably thanks you TH-cam's "shadow subscriptions" meaning you get fed your favorite content whether you are actually subscribed or not.
17:19 I misread the caption at the bottom as Lunaitude and assumed that was to make it clear you were giving coordinates on the moon. But it seems it is longitude with the bottom of the 'g' cut off :-(
This is hands-down the best weekly science summary available online. The coverage is deep, entertaining, and diverse, and I love the quick images of papers to give credit and show it is more than just an opinion channel. This week, the long-range potential of the laser-cooled quantum sensor was mind-boggling.
I love your sarcasm. „and naturally they called it [incomprehensible and random string of numbers and letters] and asked their mom if they could keep it”
Listening to a podcast while working out? (~9:00) According to my limited, empirical study (of one subject), if you can understand the podcast you're not really working out. Conversely, a proper workout will preclude a genuine grasp of the material (perhaps in only 99% of those studied, by my estimate.) Still, it's good to know the podcasts are there. For me, I'll continue to watch with undivided attention, which is my best method of learning. Turning on the CC function [sometimes] helps when a word isn't clear.
Thank you for the videos i do enjoy them. I liked the consciousness part. I tend to be in the IIT camp though the logic in memory processes does seem to work. I just feel that many fall to reductionist traps when addressing the subject of consciousness. I think therefore I am which says a lot about future AI ; although where consciousness comes from is the main question at hand and is likely inprovable.
I have a question for a physicist, perhaps Sabine, in combination with a geologist and/or paleontologist. If the earth was formed four billion years ago with a certain amount of radioactive elements, and these elements decay naturally over time resulting in lead, how radioactive was the earth when life forms started to emerge? And did it affect the evolution of life on earth? And what accounts for the remaining elements which have not decayed away? The earth would have to have been much more radioactive in the past to still have the quantity of uranium we currently see. Maybe a topic for a research paper that I would like to read.
Excuse me?! Scientists used an electron microscope to look at a metal sheet crack and were surprised to see cold welding?! How?! You have to put the material in a high vacuum to use an electron microscope! How could they be surprised to see the metal cold-welding itself?!
8:07 You forgot to mention the main idea behind such an invention. You can tell gravity apart from acceleration with this. As it would be continuously vibrating if you're accelerating continuously. There really is no other way from telling those apart as they behave the same in all reference frames. So to mention a use-case, let's imagine you're in a space pod above our atmosphere, you can't tell by pressure what your altitude is, you can't know your speed and don't feel turbulence. With this tool, you can know whether you're falling to the planet because you'd accelerate according to this thingy (whereas under normal level flight there'd be zero acceleration otherwise it would be a time-crystal per definition).
Wow, that nuclear bomb test research is so important these days, and the timing is good with the release of the movie „Oppenheimer“. I also appreciate that the government narrative was scientifically questioned. The consciousness research is also very interesting.
Thank you for your efforts to reach out with these heavy knowledge . We wait every week till Wednesday night for a new vision and update. Science for Dr. Sabina
Thank you so much for your great content! Will you be talking about the new LK-99 superconductor in a future video or will you wait for the dust to settle down?
Loved the video, Sabine, as always! I'd love to see a video comparing the different popular scientific theories of consciousness, such as Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory, Active Inference and the free energy principle, the CEMI (conscious electromagnetic information) theory of McFadden, the Minimal Physicalism theory of Chris Fields.and maybe some others discussed by the neuroscience community.
Sabine. I am working on a theory. Geodesic of spacetime is really just a consequence of mass energy interaction, they pull on each others creating a field, this field will have high force points and low force point, the geodesic is simply the areas of least pull, or where a test mass exhert least energy per unit length. This is similar to underwater current and how the current is not a thing in itself. Furthermore I propose time is not a thing either but a consequence of mass energy relativist motion. I been developing a model to rederive physic’s using a unit clock and map motion to it, an abstraction of time and you turn motion into 3d objects you can analyse. About time there is no such thing no past no future. Imagine a jar of marbles, you build a pyramid and then tair it down and build another structure. Now is the pyramid now in some other dimension? No it’s in the jar it’s been disassembled and repurposed. I see it as like a rainbow it’s not a thing in itself but emergent from property of light. I have allot of ideas so everyday I self study so that I one day can write papers and discuss my ideas and test them
To my knowledge that’s an effect occurring directly at the level of the eyes. The nice contrast enhancing feedback mechanism in the potentials activating the neurons.
The reason the washing machine starts working when the repairman is there is because of Quantum Bogon Dynamics. There are two types of particles for this, Bogons and Cluons. People who are knowledgeable about things are surrounded by a cloud of Cluons. People who aren't are surrounded by Bogons. So the machine gathers a lot of Bogons over time, which cause it to malfunction. Only by introducing a slew of Cluons can this field be overcome. So the presence of an expert negates the Bogon field while they are around. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on QBD.

8:30 For laser cooling, as you're only working in very low temperatures, you're only dealing with very low frequency vibrations (relatively), so you can tune your laser super precisely to the natural frequency you wish to dampen, such that when the membrane moves towards the wave it is amplified as energy is taken away, while when the member moves away, they are disjoint frequencies that do not interact much, making the energy transfer a one-way street.
They should study senior software engineers while they are debugging something. I recorded a video of myself and I could slightly hear my breathing. I noticed my breathing got pretty heavy, just from thinking deeply, when I got to a very cognitively demanding part. It would probably light up pretty brightly in an EEG, if my brain needed that much more oxygen.
Chomsky talked about a functional MRI (?) experiment where, IIRC, someone reading grammatically normal nonsense sentences used a very different part of their brain than for a non-grammatical sentence that could be understood as something meaningful. I wonder which kind of coding problems tickle different areas in a similar way.
@@Blox117 I'm not overweight though. I do pullups regularly, and walk over 16,000 steps a day (hours). My rest heart rate is excellent, usually below 60 bpm. On days off I often walk about 4.5 hours, about 25000 steps. I am completely healthy, don't smoke, and I don't take any medications.
This is wildly disconnected to the actual content of the video, but I am deeply amused by the addition of the intro music in-between segments. At 2x speed (my usual watching habit), it's like a harmless miniature jumpscare and I can't help but smile at it!
Dear Dr. H: I have watched your videos for a few years now since I like your humour....rare among critical thinkers. After learning that you think that the simulation hypothesis is as ridiculous as I do, I finally wikied you. I was shocked to learn you are an academic with a PhD. The reason is that you don't use the "Dr." prefix...so I thought you were a high school teacher! Your wiki page lists one of your labels you science communicator, so it all makes sense. Thx

Physicists announced that they discovered there will be two Tuesdays next week. The said that they don't yet understand why, but that they are glad to have an extra day to study the phenomenon.
In my opinion. It is not necessarily what we ignore, it's more so a case of what we yet fail to apperceive as litterally lying at our feet. We overlook, overstep & basically are always needlessly reaching for the next bunch of bananas. When we have yet to repletely digest the ones we have previously foraged. One of many examples of this is the sufficient overlapping or superIMpositions of various kinematic nodalities of a specific combinatorial of hydrodynamic, kinetic, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, gyroscopic & magnetic / systemS as forming a wholistic system. Which when availed to the world, will subsequently make us all finally realize. Just how consciously myopic we are as a species. It truly is what you can not see. A real consciousness in my opinion can apperceive the invisibly cloaked. Which for our sadly lacking human perceptions of the world around us. Unfortunately almost always means a great deal of Thomas Edison, trial & error. Especially for highly complex informational combinatorials as actually intrinsically being simplex/tural. Rationalize a system of systems, to great extent as emulating the solar system. i.e. continuencies as best we can currently factitiously achieve.

This is hands-down the best weekly science summary available online. The coverage is deep, entertaining, and diverse, and I love the quick images of papers to give credit and show it is more than just an opinion channel. This week, the long-range potential of the laser-cooled quantum sensor was mind-boggling.
an ancient legend defined the meaning of life as "go forth be fruitful and multiply". probably applies to the secret of eternal life as well
I believe it was Professor Greene who said, ‘Newton gave us seven significant digits and Einstein gave us seven more.’
Ie?

I love your sarcasm. „and naturally they called it [incomprehensible and random string of numbers and letters] and asked their mom if they could keep it”
I appreciate as always the news updates. Not sure what I think about the bumper music between segments.
The music is useful to separate the topics for audio listeners, it was mentioned in another post here.
+1000 awesome points for dropping a Pixies reference @Sabine.
I am totally referring to my next disagreement with a loved one as "fatigue cracks" lol.
14:33 Interstellar MEDIUM? What about the Interstellar SMALL, LARGE and EXTRA-LARGE?
Listening to a podcast while working out? (~9:00) According to my limited, empirical study (of one subject), if you can understand the podcast you're not really working out. Conversely, a proper workout will preclude a genuine grasp of the material (perhaps in only 99% of those studied, by my estimate.)
Still, it's good to know the podcasts are there. For me, I'll continue to watch with undivided attention, which is my best method of learning. Turning on the CC function [sometimes] helps when a word isn't clear.
color me shocked that fallout from nuclear bombs would travel hundreds of miles
Ya, and all this time I thought the gov was over estimating just to be safe! 😂
@@slo3337 That would work, if they gave a crap, which they do not.
@@slo3337 Lol they covering their dumb asses
dont say this out loud the pronuke lunes will lose their shit
Don't mind the radiation its not as bad as the lead from the gasoline.
Both , however , are gluten free , so we have that going for us at least .
Hey Sabine, did you make the theme music for the show yourself? Love the show!!
YOU USED THE FINAL FANTASY VICTORY FANFARE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Thanks Sabine looking forward to this kind regards Paul ☕☕🙏
Her little word play with ‘masses’ as ‘muscles’ had me dyin ngl
Thank you for the videos i do enjoy them. I liked the consciousness part. I tend to be in the IIT camp though the logic in memory processes does seem to work. I just feel that many fall to reductionist traps when addressing the subject of consciousness. I think therefore I am which says a lot about future AI ; although where consciousness comes from is the main question at hand and is likely inprovable.
Good episode! I am not a fan of the intermission chimes though.
I have a question for a physicist, perhaps Sabine, in combination with a geologist and/or paleontologist. If the earth was formed four billion years ago with a certain amount of radioactive elements, and these elements decay naturally over time resulting in lead, how radioactive was the earth when life forms started to emerge? And did it affect the evolution of life on earth? And what accounts for the remaining elements which have not decayed away? The earth would have to have been much more radioactive in the past to still have the quantity of uranium we currently see. Maybe a topic for a research paper that I would like to read.
🌏⌚️
Thank you again for your great work getting us the news and salt. 👍
Thanks for the nostalgia kick from ファンファーレ (Fanfare) at 0:41-0:43. 🙂
But which fanfare was it? Maybe from 7 since it is the most popular?
Excuse me?! Scientists used an electron microscope to look at a metal sheet crack and were surprised to see cold welding?! How?! You have to put the material in a high vacuum to use an electron microscope! How could they be surprised to see the metal cold-welding itself?!
8:07 You forgot to mention the main idea behind such an invention. You can tell gravity apart from acceleration with this. As it would be continuously vibrating if you're accelerating continuously. There really is no other way from telling those apart as they behave the same in all reference frames. So to mention a use-case, let's imagine you're in a space pod above our atmosphere, you can't tell by pressure what your altitude is, you can't know your speed and don't feel turbulence. With this tool, you can know whether you're falling to the planet because you'd accelerate according to this thingy (whereas under normal level flight there'd be zero acceleration otherwise it would be a time-crystal per definition).
Science news mixed with comedy? I love this channel.
Wow, that nuclear bomb test research is so important these days, and the timing is good with the release of the movie „Oppenheimer“. I also appreciate that the government narrative was scientifically questioned. The consciousness research is also very interesting.
there are still pro nuke nuts and pro nuclear weapons nuts who trot out 1940s gov falsehoods about nuclear radiation
Thank you for your efforts to reach out with these heavy knowledge .
We wait every week till Wednesday night for a new vision and update.
Science for Dr. Sabina
Sabine is really cranking out the content lately
They told her to stop working on the gravity generator, so she’s got time on her hands.
highly doubt that she writes all those scripts herself.
And the jokes
where are the TimeStamps ? :) , thanks for the great educational content as always
",,, and of course telephone will ring" you are so hilarious, its a joy to watch your videos
what my week revolves around: Sabine uploads!
Thank you so much for your great content! Will you be talking about the new LK-99 superconductor in a future video or will you wait for the dust to settle down?
Really interested in Sabine's take on the superconductor news this week.
Loved the video, Sabine, as always!
I'd love to see a video comparing the different popular scientific theories of consciousness, such as Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory, Active Inference and the free energy principle, the CEMI (conscious electromagnetic information) theory of McFadden, the Minimal Physicalism theory of Chris Fields.and maybe some others discussed by the neuroscience community.
Sabine. I am working on a theory. Geodesic of spacetime is really just a consequence of mass energy interaction, they pull on each others creating a field, this field will have high force points and low force point, the geodesic is simply the areas of least pull, or where a test mass exhert least energy per unit length. This is similar to underwater current and how the current is not a thing in itself.
Furthermore I propose time is not a thing either but a consequence of mass energy relativist motion. I been developing a model to rederive physic’s using a unit clock and map motion to it, an abstraction of time and you turn motion into 3d objects you can analyse.
About time there is no such thing no past no future. Imagine a jar of marbles, you build a pyramid and then tair it down and build another structure. Now is the pyramid now in some other dimension? No it’s in the jar it’s been disassembled and repurposed. I see it as like a rainbow it’s not a thing in itself but emergent from property of light.
I have allot of ideas so everyday I self study so that I one day can write papers and discuss my ideas and test them
12:45 Does that segment explain why when we close our eyes we can sometimes still see what we were looking at? (persistence of vision)
To my knowledge that’s an effect occurring directly at the level of the eyes. The nice contrast enhancing feedback mechanism in the potentials activating the neurons.
The reason the washing machine starts working when the repairman is there is because of Quantum Bogon Dynamics.
There are two types of particles for this, Bogons and Cluons. People who are knowledgeable about things are surrounded by a cloud of Cluons. People who aren't are surrounded by Bogons. So the machine gathers a lot of Bogons over time, which cause it to malfunction. Only by introducing a slew of Cluons can this field be overcome. So the presence of an expert negates the Bogon field while they are around.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on QBD.
You are wonderful. Thank you for your posts
don’t underestimate the power of electromagnetic interactions from afar…
Appreciate the podcast option 🙌
Finally I can buy some CFC for my old leaky refrigerator.
FINALly 19:00 sponsor promoted at end not begining.. now this is something that a channel would deserve a like for. else trhey are usualy skiped//anynoing n stuff like that
8:30 For laser cooling, as you're only working in very low temperatures, you're only dealing with very low frequency vibrations (relatively), so you can tune your laser super precisely to the natural frequency you wish to dampen, such that when the membrane moves towards the wave it is amplified as energy is taken away, while when the member moves away, they are disjoint frequencies that do not interact much, making the energy transfer a one-way street.
They should study senior software engineers while they are debugging something. I recorded a video of myself and I could slightly hear my breathing. I noticed my breathing got pretty heavy, just from thinking deeply, when I got to a very cognitively demanding part. It would probably light up pretty brightly in an EEG, if my brain needed that much more oxygen.
Chomsky talked about a functional MRI (?) experiment where, IIRC, someone reading grammatically normal nonsense sentences used a very different part of their brain than for a non-grammatical sentence that could be understood as something meaningful. I wonder which kind of coding problems tickle different areas in a similar way.
i think that just comes from being severely overweight
@@Blox117 That wouldn't explain the change in pattern in the same person.
@@Llortnerof there is no change in pattern
@@Blox117 I'm not overweight though. I do pullups regularly, and walk over 16,000 steps a day (hours). My rest heart rate is excellent, usually below 60 bpm. On days off I often walk about 4.5 hours, about 25000 steps. I am completely healthy, don't smoke, and I don't take any medications.
I just love the way sabine says "EINSTEIN"
This is wildly disconnected to the actual content of the video, but I am deeply amused by the addition of the intro music in-between segments. At 2x speed (my usual watching habit), it's like a harmless miniature jumpscare and I can't help but smile at it!
Dear Dr. H: I have watched your videos for a few years now since I like your humour....rare among critical thinkers. After learning that you think that the simulation hypothesis is as ridiculous as I do, I finally wikied you. I was shocked to learn you are an academic with a PhD. The reason is that you don't use the "Dr." prefix...so I thought you were a high school teacher! Your wiki page lists one of your labels you science communicator, so it all makes sense. Thx
Accomplished meditators have been talking about the fact there is something like a spotlight and something like a floodlight operating in parallel in our minds for centuries.
Have literally just been on a boat tour of Loch Ness today and learned how cores taken from the sediment at the bottom of the Loch , 220m down, are radioactive from Chernobyl, and then deeper, radioactive again from US atomic tests during the 1950's 😮😮😮
Excellent show as always 👏 👍 👌
7:30 - it's like moving into a new place & finding a set of car-keys after your vehicle was just totalled. You've got 2 different sets of car keys, but you're not really sure what to do with them... yet.
I do wonder if we will ever find a way to measure the dryness of Sabine's humour. I propose use the Hossenfelder Unit if we ever do.
I love your sense of humor. You don't have to be Dave Chappelle to crack a joke and your dead pan delivery is quite welcome.
Love the FF7 reference. But what's up with the sound? Might need some soothe 2 or goyo vocal separator to get rid of background noise and harshness :)
Thanks Sabine for your research and thorough productions. Your videos help keep so many of us excited about things during turbulent times 🦋✨

The win music !! PERFECT CHOICE 🥳
Final Fantasy fan !!
Surprising the fallout went against the prevailing winds/jet stream and out to NorCal
Excellent news. We need an entire new form of matter and a brand new version of energy to explain these observations. Will keep graduate students, post-docs and asst. profs busy for decades.
Scientists develop better way to find alien communications.

They've had highly accurate accelerometers in cell phones for years now. That's how your phone can sense it's direction and whether it's level or not or if it's shaking.
Not nearly accurate enough to be used for inertial navigation in place of GPS - especially with all the shaking they are subjected to.
@@franklittle8124 I didn't make that claim.
I'm commenting early for the algorithm. Great episode as always!
What about *relativistic mass?* As an object's velocity increases so does its mass ergo so should its gravity.
Well that explains a lot
I stopped watching this video in the middle as soon as you mentioned the podcast and switched over to continue listening there. I couldn't find you on Apple podcasts… But the sound quality is actually better than TH-cam over Spotify.
I'm sure you'll resolve the Apple podcast issue in the near future, meanwhile you're getting a four-star rating as soon as I finish the podcast. Thank you for such a great content!
Please provide a link to the podcast in your show notes.
a pixies reference? this channel gets better and better.
Physicists announced that they discovered there will be two Tuesdays next week. The said that they don't yet understand why, but that they are glad to have an extra day to study the phenomenon.
The map Sabine showed had just such a hot spot in Southeast Missouri.
I'm amazed you haven't included the room-temperature superconductor news out of South Korea!
It’s what we ignore that’s interesting for consciousness, not what we pay attention to.
In my opinion. It is not necessarily what we ignore, it's more so a case of what we yet fail to apperceive as litterally lying at our feet. We overlook, overstep & basically are always needlessly reaching for the next bunch of bananas. When we have yet to repletely digest the ones we have previously foraged. One of many examples of this is the sufficient overlapping or superIMpositions of various kinematic nodalities of a specific combinatorial of hydrodynamic, kinetic, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, gyroscopic & magnetic / systemS as forming a wholistic system. Which when availed to the world, will subsequently make us all finally realize. Just how consciously myopic we are as a species. It truly is what you can not see. A real consciousness in my opinion can apperceive the invisibly cloaked. Which for our sadly lacking human perceptions of the world around us. Unfortunately almost always means a great deal of Thomas Edison, trial & error. Especially for highly complex informational combinatorials as actually intrinsically being simplex/tural. Rationalize a system of systems, to great extent as emulating the solar system. i.e. continuencies as best we can currently factitiously achieve.
Really very interesting, thank you again ❤
I'm glad my suggestion has been a success for you. New account, had phone issues. I think the name should be enough of a hint as to who I am. Anyhoo, I've been enjoying it. Have a great day and keep up the great work!!! 😊
Despite healing, I think we can all agree that crack is bad.
