‘If it were my age, then that would just be a couple of months ago.” This is so much more understandable and relatable than when educators say “that’s like 500 Olympic sized swimming pools”.
Since I was four years old and learned that we had a nervous system to understand the world we're in, I have been passionate about how it manages to do so. And I finally got the answer a dozen years ago. Half a century utterly intrigued, the remainder of my life to enjoy the knowledge. Cognition is now so easy to understand!
I just wanted to say how happy I was to hear Stefan correctly pronounce Chang'e! I don't know the pronunciation came from him, the script team, or a combo, but it was wonderful to hear someone actually say it right.
I just want to say that I love the energy and passion that you put that into these free videos. It's so rare to find an educational channel that doesn't treat it's viewers like children, and every video has it's own little rabbit hole to explore. I've learned so much just from googling after watching an episode. The world is a bizarre and wonderful place. My only hope is that it's not to late for us to save it
Every time "dating the moon" and "date the moon" came up I could not help but think of a joke xD "Dating the moon can be tricky" "Because of the size difference, right?" "Because its long distance, right?"
Hehe, the moon rocks, though. And some people only wanna date parts of the moon, so that could be interesting for people who are into that multi dating stuff. The dark side of the moon is cold, though. But hey, if you are into those hard to date types, and you don't mind all the wolves howling at your date. I say go for it. 😆
Thank you so much for telling us about 80,000 Hours! My husband suffers from depression, and one of the things he worries about is finding a meaningful job once he graduates from his PhD program. He's told me that he wishes he could find a career like mine that makes a positive impact, not just makes money. This organization is exactly what he needs as he starts to look for work this year.
When I was a kid, they used to say the moon was made of green cheese. Now they say it's made of rock. That's what happens when you leave the cheese out.
The possibilities are really fascinating, and even without tectonic activity the Moon could be plenty dangerous to explorers. A lot of the proposed plans for lunar base design involve digging down into the regolith; but we don't (yet) know how stable the Moon's regolith really is, and we won't know that until we dig some exploratory tunnels AND until those tunnels have also weathered a moon-quake. It's entirely possible that even the basalt rocks on the Moon aren't stable enough for us to simply dig a hole. That doesn't mean underground bases are a no go though, even if the native regolith does turn out to have the structural stability of brittle shale. I'd love to see y'all cover some of the ideas for mining the regolith and making it into durable building materials, I don't think you've talked about it (or not recently). I was reading a very good set of YA sci-fi novels (Moon Beam and Moon Tracks, very fun) and one of the events discussed was a tunnel collapse.
Presuming the composition of the Moon and Earth are similar due to the impact that created the Moon, wouldn't a molten core produce a very small but measurable magnetic field? Since the Moon used to have have one but doesn't appear to now, that would seem to make geologic activity improbable.
So about that crater, roundabout 4:55, that some scientists hypothesize "burped" around 2 million years ago. Does that coordinate in any way with the beginning of the Quaternary glaciation period? Dad and I were watching a documentary the other day (possibly SciSho) in which they said the onset of the glaciation was rapid and the cause unknown. Is it possible for such a "burp" to interfere with the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth?
3:10 a very predictable rate, except that you don't know where it started from. Or if at some point something happened to add / create more of any particular isotope
I honestly don't know how to think about it. we have vehicles placed on Mars that send images regularly. we have sent probes into space that have already left our solar system. We have a permanent scientific post in orbit (ISS) but all we know about our own moon is from missions and material samples that are over 40 years old. 😟
If it was still doing lava after 2 billion years of early cooling, note that it was cooling exponentially faster back then also... but maybe the greater tidal forces cancel that out.
Should we actually go to the moon, I’d really hate for private corporations to claim the moon as their own. Privatization of the Earth is bad, but the Privatization of space would be a disaster.
If there were a major eruption on the moon, with fresh, hot larval pouring out like that of eruptions on Hawaii for example, could we see the glow from Earth?
If I wasn't a married man myself I would definitely risk dating the Moon. My partner has phases too, sure, and I'm always learning how to love and handle them but Moon's are quite predictable so that may make it slightly easier. Love you, partner. All this about dating the Moon is a highly improbable hypothetical! And we did agree we can both have a special exception like in the case we ever see ourselves trapped in an elevator with that famous actress and she looks like she is really into it! So, just saying. Oh, who am I trying to fool! No Moon well ever stay between us! (I'm mean, it's also HIGHLY improbable…) Love you!
In terms of exploiting the moon's resources, I remember once hearing that there are highly potent particles containing enormous amounts of energy that a kilo of it could supply the entire earth's needs for a year. Can you verify that? Thanks for the good features.
How scary is it to think if there was life on earth at the time of the Thea cataclysm? We would never know...there could theoretically been, however unlikely it is, advanced civilizations...completely wiped.

I'm 15, do I qualify for 80,000 hours, even though I lack a higher education?
this was a massive waste of time and effort for both the viewer and this channel. Thumbs down.
"Dating the moon can be tricky."
Sokka: "Tell me about it."
This is the best reference
Is it a Jojo reference?

‘If it were my age, then that would just be a couple of months ago.” This is so much more understandable and relatable than when educators say “that’s like 500 Olympic sized swimming pools”.
Yeah, especially since I never knew what a single Olympic pool contains xD
Those are usually terrible educators
I love watching scientists argue about rocks
It reminds me that people can be passionate about anything and that's real neat
The rocks are in their head
Isn't it?

"Turns out dating the moon can be tricky."
"That's rough, buddy."
Severely underrated comment.
For some, it'll be the intensity of the dark side, for others, the light-side. Yet we all yearn for that warm centre.
Dang it. Beat me to it!
Most girlfriends turn into the moon.
Try giving fancy cheese
3:33 "you can't just pop up there anytime you like to date any part of the moon you want"
*sadly drops a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates*
long distant relationships are tough like that.
That's rough buddy

Chang'e is the name of the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology

@@stevexracer Well, aren't you pleasant.
It's not too late, it's not ever too late. It's going to take effort to avoid the most serious effects 💜 collective action can happen and we can do it

Dating the moon can be tricky because there's no Netflix up there.
"Because it's always going through a phase"
..and I am not sure I can fully support "relative dating" either...
Because it's rough, buddy
"Dating the moon can be tricky" It will always be a long distance relationship.
Also I think Sokka knew this all too well.
Thank you so much for telling us about 80,000 Hours! My husband suffers from depression, and one of the things he worries about is finding a meaningful job once he graduates from his PhD program.

“As it turns out dating the moon can be tricky” I know right, just paying for the gas to get to her place is astronomical.
Very nice!
I give up. You win the internets! 🏆
It’s so nice to hear someone talking about the struggles of long-distance relationships
"the greater the crater" is a phrase I am going to be thinking about for the rest of my life
This is the kind of in-depth content I subscribed for. Thanks, Sci-Show.
Sci show: Dating the moon can be tricky
Me: that's rough buddy
Stefan: "Dating the moon can be tricky."
Zuko: "That's rough, buddy."
Stefan Chin is a great narrator.
"Ina is a bright spot in a lake of happiness", WAH!
tako moon mission when
Glad I found another takodachi here
The fact Ina is found in the Lake of Happiness is amazing, the absolute peak Wah.
Can i get fourth wah?
Ina is younger than she seems 😭😭
“Dating the moon can be tricky” as is any long distance relationship, especially if you haven’t seen each other in over 50 years.
"Turns out dating the moon can be tricky."
I mean, long-distance dating is always tough
"The Moon might very much be alive"
"Dating the Moon can be tricky"
This episode is so memeworthy xD
SciShow: "Dating the moon can be tricky."
Sokka: "You have no idea."
"dating the moon can be tricky"
Tell that to Sokka
When I was a kid, they used to say the moon was made of green cheese. Now they say it's made of rock. That's what happens when you leave the cheese out.
That's capitalism for you. Antifreeze in wine, brick dust in chocolate, rocks in moon cheese... everything to save a few bucks.
2:06 "dating the moon can be tricky"
That's ruff buddy
2:05 "Well it turns out dating the moon can be tricky"

I knew it! The undead moon is coming to get us at night!
Nice
Make us whole
It's trying to leave. 😂
My first girlfriend turned into the moon. Dating the moon can be tricky.
That's rough, buddy
Avatar reference?
I take it you appreciate the name of the Chinese moon missions, then.
Leroyal94 beat me to it 😆
A lifeless, frozen rock?
2:05 Yeah, Sokka found that out really quick.
Crazy to think some dinosaurs may have seen a volcanic event on the moon. That's really not that long ago in cosmic terms.
Your mom's not that long ago in cosmic terms!
2:06
Yeah that would be tricky, quite the long-distance relationship
2:05 is a true Sokka moment.
So insane! Love this channel so much ❤
Love nonsense
@@matimus100 ?
>Dating the moon can be tricky.
Yeah, just ask Sokka.
Makes sense dating the moon is tough. Amaterasu found him to be near insufferable
2:06 "That's rough, buddy." - Zuko
Dating the moon is extremely difficult, as with all long distance relationships, it's hard to keep that trust.

I expected Hank Green to show up
I heard they've made some pretty big advancements in relative dating out in Alabama and West Virginia
6:24 "Houston, this is it!"
Liquidy bits. Gonna haveta remember that!
"...dating the Moon can be tricky."
Princess Luna: "...really?"
Thanks a lot
To see the wild theory of my youth now being the dominant belief!
And how do you pick moon pieces from artifacts from impacts?
if it's active we might be able to use like geothermal energy (luna-thermal ?) that might be cool
2:06 *cries in Sokka*
That’s rough Buddy
I'm always watching
Question is why are the moon's impact craters all the same depth no matter how wide they are?
Because they're not.
Dating the moon can be tricky,
My boy Sokka knows that too well
I remember that relative dating. A friend from Alabama often used that term.
2:31 did scientists down in Alabama come up with that term
Anything is dead once you simply forget about it.
Keep your philosophy away from science

3:10 a very predictable rate, except that you don't know where it started from. Or if at some point something happened to add / create more of any particular isotope
"Dating the moon can be tricky."
Lyrics of Hijo de la Luna definitely bear this out.
So, how many licks does it take to get to the squishy centre of a moon?
In terms of dating the moon, has NASA tried just asking the moon to dinner?
I'll see myself out lmao

As someone from Alabama, relative dating is something we have innate feel for.
The outer core is probably an elastic Nickel that is crystalizing. As well as an growing crystalized inner core.
Hullabaloo?!...nah...I distinctly heard hoopla.
"dating the moon can be tricky"
endymion: no kidding.
Is there any benefit to building on the Moon? Is there something we could learn from doing it?
The seemingly hollow nature the moon has exhibited could be something to mention 🤔
If it was still doing lava after 2 billion years of early cooling, note that it was cooling exponentially faster back then also... but maybe the greater tidal forces cancel that out.
Should we actually go to the moon, I’d really hate for private corporations to claim the moon as their own. Privatization of the Earth is bad, but the Privatization of space would be a disaster.
2:07 trust me it is, just ask Sokka
4:16 WAH
Say quick question, if there's anything going on in the moon's core would we expect a faint magnetic field or magnetic fluxing near it?
Go Go Sci Show!
If there were a major eruption on the moon, with fresh, hot larval pouring out like that of eruptions on Hawaii for example, could we see the glow from Earth?
Having a relationship with the moon can be even trickier. She only want to come out at night and leaves in the morning.
It would have been awesome to watch 2 planets collide to form the moon... from a safe distance of coarse
And so far we have only scratched the surface 🌚
If I wasn't a married man myself I would definitely risk dating the Moon. My partner has phases too, sure, and I'm always learning how to love and handle them but Moon's are quite predictable so that may make it slightly easier.

It's not true and requires a technology that will never work.
Dating the moon can indeed be tricky, there's always a side she'll never show you.
So, we've only scratched the surface of the Moon, if I may say.
I learned a gassy hypothesis today when I ate some deviled egg potato salad
How scary is it to think if there was life on earth at the time of the Thea cataclysm? We would never know...there could theoretically been, however unlikely it is, advanced civilizations...completely wiped.
Our large moon is likely the reason our planet has stayed hotter than it would be just from the sun alone. This allowed life time to flourish.
