One thing that was really fun with this episode was realizing how we're talking about the importance of thinking in geologic timescales, but yet here I am thinking 5 or 10 years is a long time-- like d'oh! I just did it again.
You're a wonderful communicator Emily, your relaxed yet enthusiastic interest really brings out the best in interviewees. You're doing great work. Thank you 🙂
I can't imagine looking for something for 10 years, and still continue to look. The dedication of scientists are amazing. Also, it's really interesting what Dr. Johnson says about natural history museums. I've always loved going to natural history museums, but there was also a weird sense that everything was from back in the 60's; especially as I got older and had more schooling in biology. He's right that the message is right, but some of the exhibit text might need updating (some discoveries and animal classification labels, seem outdated both scientifically and socially - for example, we don't really call aboriginals "indians" anymore.).
It's so endearing to see people get excited about what they do for a living. Mr Wing describing finding plant fossils gave me a smile on my face. I hope to have that feeling about my career one day.
Reminds me - when I was a kid I loved the issues of National Geographic with paintings of wonderful factories belching smoke into the air, building tanks and cars, and much more - we not only didn't consider the consequences, it was "every boy's dream"
Oh wow I finally finished 204 episodes lmao. I thought youtube was just glitching when I was clicking next and nothing was happening. Suffice it to say, subscribed and clicked the notification bell!!
You should go to the Indiana Dunes! You could talk about its amazing biodiversity, Henry Cowles and ecology, the Save the Dunes Initiative, and its fight to become a official national park today!
I see illustrations like that to show the planet's timeline and, while I understand the giant history of our planet--on paper--it's hard to wrap my head around the scale of it. I don't have a very good imagination as it is, so when I hear things like the dinosaurs were around for millions of years, or the planet is billions of years old, or humans have been around for less than a hair's width on the timeline, it's very hard for me to imagine it all. I believe the words, I just find it impossible to wrap my little head around it...if that makes sense?
It's perfectly understandable that geologic timescales are difficult to understand and comprehend. You just get a bit better at flexing those comprehension skills when your timeline begins to fill out; it's like learning about the events of the last 100 years in relation to one another, and we break that century into periods of decades and then individual years. Same goes for deep time in my experience!
Elbert Van Thank you, I do follow that channel. It’s one of my favorites, actually. I really enjoy that type of thing. I think that my problem is that, while I do believe it, it’s just a lack of imagination on my part to grasp just how long of an amount of time that is. I could see 100 visuals depicting the age of and evolution of our planet, and again, I do enjoy them and believe them, it just boggles my mind and I just can’t imagine it. I’m one of those people who, when told to close my eyes and picture an apple, I just see darkness. My imagination is the problem. I understand the facts, I just can’t imagine them. Merry Christmas, Elbert Van.
i think you should add the scale of some of the museums to the video - like i saw in another one, people should be reminded of how HUUUUGE the natural museums are, because of their immense job of acting as a memory and representation of what we know about the history of our little speck of dust suspended in a sunbeam... and that lil speck is going to get a tad warmer and that is already in progress of killing many more species that should normally die out ... well i guess some of us will only pay attention when parts of a continent start to submerge ... oh wait, isn´t that already happening... on a happier note, i really enjoy the chemistry you seem to have with each and every museum worker you encounter, they are super forthcoming and talk about their job and what makes it so special and passionate for them!
This was really great, I think my favorite of the NMNH collabs so far! However, you can tell it was made by people-not-from-DC because the Monument lacked its Civil-War-color-change-stripe and its shining aluminum cap
Wow Dr. Wing's story reminds me of the crazy fossil stories on your podcast! I know you've got a lot of things in the works but I hope the podcast will come back. Btw love this episode!
Emily where have you gone? Are you taking a break. I have been eagerly awaiting Your next video. My fiancé and I are going to many American museums. For our honeymoon. We have based our trip to start off at the Field Museum. We love your Channel. We can’t wait to see the next video.
11:02 - While listening to this video, I was going through my old Spider-Man comics to sell them. Kind of funny to hear you two bring up Spider-Man while I'm doing that. (The issues I was cataloging at that moment were some story arch about Peter's parents, so I wouldn't be surprised if that line was brought up again in those issues. I don't remember how much they dealt with Uncle Ben, though.)
there should be a documentary or exposition series about museums, in general. spend a 5 to 15 mins about different museums and what they are about, and the cool stuff that each is good for.
One of the best "Deep time" descriptions I ever saw was as follows: Suppose you build a time machine that can move through time at 1 year per second. This is how long it would take to go back in time to witness historical events (assuming they took place when we think they did). 1m 56s to see the first Wright Brother's flight 4m 03s to see the start of the American Revolutionary War 33m 39s to witness the birth of Jesus (go back 2019 years) 2h 46m 40s to see the beginning of recorded history (10000 years ago) 23 *DAYS* (pack lunch) to go back far enough to meet the first human a bit over 23 days to meet the first human (2 million years ago) From 2 3/4 of an hour to reach the beginning of recorded history, over 3 weeks to reach the beginning of human history! 2 *YEARS* to see the K-T extinctions event (not recommended) 7.3 years to see the first dinosaur 16 years to see the Cambrian Explosion. 110 years (bring a friend to have kids with) to see life form on Earth 142 years to see the formation of Earth 412 years to reach the Big Bang (not recommended)
The exhibit looks so cool! It's mind blowing how much work went into it. Also I'm going to miss new episodes of brain scoop! But quick question what's been your fav episode of this season?
I hope contents get a little bit more often... It takes months in between for a video to be up. I have to check in everyday and its kindda sad waiting for more... =(
As much as i love America, the different Smithsonian campuses were by far my favorite part of dc. I got emotional a couple times thinking about just how much existence there was. There's soo much everything that happened! That fossil lived a life surrounded by others doing their thing, millions of years ago. The american Indian museum hit me the hardest. Very sadface
Not necessarily; this recent article from Harvard talks about rising atmospheric CO2 levels resulting in less nutritious crops: news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/newsplus/rising-co2-levels-putting-millions-at-risk-of-nutritional-deficiencies/ So with less nutritious crops one needs to consume more material to gain similar levels of nutrition than they did before. Here's an NPR article that discusses how plants become carbon-rich but nutrient-poor in CO2-heavy atmospheres: www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/06/19/616098095/as-carbon-dioxide-levels-rise-major-crops-are-losing-nutrients
I would assume it has something to do with plants needing to store less energy as co2 becomes more readily available, essentially making plants bigger but not very nutritious for animals looking to eat the energy stores.
@@thebrainscoop Interesting, thanks! I guess the extra CO2 and greater growth kind of dilutes the nutrition in them or something. Great video as always!
@@wilsonmccoy240 Same happens to modern fruit breeds. I don't know about nutritional value, but taste, definitely. Fruit growing plants are selected for pretty looking, large fruit. The amount that taste that goes into them stays roughly the same, making for bland-tasting but REALLY BIG and shiny fruit. I definitely notice this with cherries and damson plums. The natural form of the damson is the blackthorn. Really sour and intensely tasting fruit. Here it was necessary to breed the large fruit to make them even delectable. The modern plum-sized cherries, however: hardly any taste remaining at all.
It's more like because of the increase in co2, plants become bigger in size so the nutritional value is diluted. There's a veritasium video about this, you guys should check that out.
yowsir. we definitely have an impact on the earth. kinda like bacterium on or in a cell. what really matters, is how we deal with said impact. where and when we can, we should try to limit our activities that have an adverse effect on our planet. we must also realise that there are some things we can do nothing about, and not make things worse by trying. great vid, Emily. love this channel.
Maybe I am hearing this wrong, but how do flowering plants come after plant eating dinosaurs and such. Wouldn't flowering plants include grass , vines, and any tree that produces a fruit or seed have to be present for the animals to eat?
The train wreck described by Dr. Wing might also be described by adapting the "domino effect" analogy - imagining each human choice or action or behavior as not just the first in a straight line of dominoes but only one in a surrounding field of them, some of which are already falling in a given direction, and that they also get exponentially larger, so that each one knocks over not just one or two others at a time but dozens. Dr. Wing also explains that the importance of understanding climate evolution (which is kind of the right term) on geologic time scales is that we can't just think in the time spans in which recordable history is measured. The problem is that we never experience anything longer than one human lifetime, and even that is much longer than we can usefully remember; and yet somehow the visual analogy chosen for deep time earlier in the video is the Washington Monument - another long, visually unbroken & scaleless measuring stick ... ? If we want humans to understand measures beyond human experience, they need to be at least made translatable to human experience - generations? Or lifetimes?
What about all the detritus and stuff that hasn't decomposed in the Arctic permafrost. If that melts, all that organic material can be eaten by the bacteria and then that initial spike maybe?
AHHHHH!!! Brain Scoop! Brain Scoop! Brain Scoop!!! It has been so LONG!!! I have MISSED YOU!!! Emily, STOP doing totally awesome things we wished... we could... dooo... Okay, keep doing totally awesome stuff we wished we could do but SHOW US WHAT YOU ARE DOING... More often and stuff...
I wonder what fossils from today will tell scientists 100,000 years from now (assuming we're still around). Will they find microplastics embedded in fossils? Will they be able to see evidence of when we "hopefully" reached a turning point in the way we treat the environment?
I'd love to visit the new Deep Time Hall, fascinating stuff, but I live in the UK so to do so I'd have to take one tonne of carbon deposited underground over many millions of years and throw it into the atmosphere in a single afternoon.
Haven't heard from you in awhile, Em. I know you have a day job, but ... there's the makings of a conspiracy theory. Also I love you and your work (in the platonic "I'll buy you a beer" sense) but the AMNH is The Museum to me, no offense. But if I'm ever in Chicago, I'll visit your museum when I get tired of the u-boat down the street. Related, it'd be fun to hear you tell how they got the u-boat to its current home, though it's outside your usual zone of expertise.
if you could check out Alec Steele he is a very young man that in my opinion could pass for your twin. right down to the additude ,- smile. and even the glasses. you will be amazed I think. love your videos
@@thebrainscoop fair enough XD i just wanted mention it cause loads either forget that it was a thing or just didn't know about (like i did 2 years ago)
I might be a bit late to the comments, but would one of you lovely people tell me what creature’s skeleton is shown at 1:58? At first I thought it was some rhinoceros relative based on the general headshape and protrusions, but then I noticed the saberteeth. So please, if anyone could tell me what that is it would be fantastic!
Aaron Williams the pose of the skeletal mount is inspired from a recent study that examined bite marks on Triceratops skulls (that were inflicted post-mortem) and may have indicated that Tyrannosaurus possibly ripped off their heads in order to reach their nutrient rich neck muscles. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/want-to-eat-a-triceratops-try-ripping-its-head-off-93355701/
That's not true! You as an individual have the power to change. You cannot change other people, but you can change yourself for the better. And that's empowering.
Oh... ok.... so.... last time we had a massive extinction with a temperatura rise similar to what is happening today, the temperature went up to 5 to 8 degrees Celsius... and most living things died out and the hot burning period lasted for at least 100 thousand years?!... right... so... some scientists also said that if the temperature goes over 4 degrees Celsius humans probably would go extinct... and it seems that Global temperature is heading towards a higher level than 4 degrees Celsius in less then 100 years... Does that means we maybe extinct in less than 100 years? Nooo... of course not... it can't be... humans will be always here. We have high technology and museums with great knowledge that teach us what to do.
Actually not. It's pretty easy to find something interesting. It is just hard to find something of great importance. It's even harder to recognize it when you see it. Much of the really important work is done searching museum collections. The displays are a very small part of what museums do.

How do you not giggle yourself silly being around such amazing fossils and artifacts? I still scream when I find a fossilized shell at the beach.

That was some of the nicest thirteen minutes I've ever spent! And Dr Wing is really heartwarming and inspiring :).
Love the timescale compared to the Washington Monument! :) Merry Christmas and happy 2019, people of the Brain Scoop!

That's not true! You as an individual have the power to change. You cannot change other people, but you can change yourself for the better. And that's empowering.
thebrainscoop thank you for replying.
more like too greedy
Yepp. Gotta ask her out.
Wasn't the asteroid 65 milions years ago?
yay, new videoo 💛👍
Oh... ok.... so.... last time we had a massive extinction with a temperatura rise similar to what is happening today, the temperature went up to 5 to 8 degrees Celsius... and most living things died out and the hot burning period lasted for at least 100 thousand years?!... right... so... some scientists also said that if the temperature goes over 4 degrees Celsius humans probably would go extinct... and it seems that Global temperature is heading towards a higher level than 4 degrees Celsius in less then 100 years...
Does that means we maybe extinct in less than 100 years? Nooo... of course not... it can't be... humans will be always here. We have high technology and museums with great knowledge that teach us what to do.
I bet 99% of this blokes field time actually consists of tapping on rocks and saying "bollocks".
Actually not. It's pretty easy to find something interesting. It is just hard to find something of great importance. It's even harder to recognize it when you see it. Much of the really important work is done searching museum collections. The displays are a very small part of what museums do.
Who benefits the most from warming? Greenland, Canada, Russia , Norway and America

Until Greenland gets too warm and the melting inland ice ends up disrupting the Gulf Stream, making Europe as cold as similar latitudes around the Pacific.
@@ragnkja that's why I didn't include Europe, duh. And Norway will have all that money from oil to keep them warm
@@BFjordsman Since when did Norway leave Europe? I think I would have noticed my country moving that much!
Why not just remove the human element? With less of us our planet and the other species will be better off.
Are you going to start first? If not, STFU.
In the future, climate change themed Museum exhibits will be looked at the way we look at biblical themed Museum exhibits.
I look forward to being called a heretic in the comments.
