LOL. Good one. I get sick of all these other people who leave these kinds of comments. It gets on my nerves. The truth is the content creator is the First one.
Neil, Chuck & Gary- Love the episode. I am a Golf Science Educator, helping amateur and professional golfers understand the science of golf. If you would like to do another episode on Golf Science, I would be happy to be the guest. I would love the opportunity to try and change Chucks mind on Golf. In my bias opinion, golf is the best sport on the planet!
@@keepgoing1973 If it looks like it is then it is a particle not a wave with a higher probability is that the ball is adequately at rest in the bottom of the cup to be considered holled out, but since it will also be in superposition and there is a lower probability it is not. It all depends on the observer and their bias.
So, the reason I suck at pretty much every sport is science, instead of my complete lack of physical skill and coordination. Sounds good, I'll just roll with that! :P "Yeah, I could run that touchdown for them in ten seconds flat, but, you know... science." :D
When I Watched the "Mythbusters" discuss and examine the 'dimples' in a golf ball, I was gobsmacked. Now I am again. And I've seen the "bounce back through the hoop", even though it hit someone's head. But yeah, you get the points. And I've seen "spin" used on mini-golf courses, to 'curve' the shot and sometimes make the shot.
StarTalk, Neil, Assuming you hit the ball toward the RIGHT HAND lip of the cup such that, looking from above, the ball has a clockwise rotation, would forces from the "Left Hand Rule" have any influence on whether the ball escapes the cup or not? In fact, could you do an explainer video about the "Left Hand Rule"?
I would like to believe that the commentators of exploding golf would have the professionalism to keep whispering throughout their description of the explosion :D
Talk about the Principal of Least Action. That would be much more interesting when talking about motion! Then people can be bored by basic motion of golf balls. LOL Love the show.
With the ball going in and then coming out, a la, basketball and golf, in hockey, if the puck is shot with enough force to hit the net and then come back out it's a good goal.
I think we missed track camber for racing ❤. .The track is less banked at low speeds, inner track and then, outer track is high speed .. opposite of the gopher ball
I think another interesting topic might be the physics of slicing the ball, and how it often, from the players vantage point, appear to be travelling fairly straight, and then starts to slice, and the slice seems to increase with time until the ball is travelling almost sideways into the woods, or the next fairway.
The ball curves around the center of the hole and continues a new direction, in a very picturesque demonstration of the way bodies in motion respond to curved space-time, aka, gravity Wells, when they come close, but not close enough, to be captured in an orbit.
Chuck would have a great time down in Boca Chica, Texas, where SpaceX builds and tests its new Starship rockets - most of the time is watching the grass grow, but occasionally there's an RUD - "rapid unscheduled disassembly"! :D
being a 22 year old who grew up with the dream of being a fireball throwing lefty that can DH; AND hit golf balls unbelievably far. It's more difficult to learn how to hit a golf ball where you want, than it is to hit a 75 mph curveball or a 90 mph fastball. it's less than a millimeter of play. If you hit a drive with 2000 rpm backspin (ideal rpm) it will travel how its supposed to. 1500 rpm will take about 6% off your total distance. Then you have the short game. Hitting a ball over a tree, at the pin which is at the front of the green. You need to hit the bottom of the ball, sweeping the bottom of the club head under the ball. Achieving around 7,000-10,000 rpm backspin.
Bowling has something similar. If you knock down a pin but it stands back up, it doesn't count as a downed pin. Conversely, if your ball enters the gutter but pops out and knocks down pin(s), those don't count as downed pins.
😂👍 you wouldn’t believe your eyes 👀 should I somehow someday or, someway share something that I discovered with a high bounce ball. In time gentlemen & ty for sharing friends
tyson wears different hats depending on his specialty, if i see that black cap i know it is sports :'( joking, i dont normally enjoy sports but neil and chuck make sports interesting and entertaining! i would SO watch/play exploding golf
The explanation is wrong. The rim does not curve like a racetrack. THE BALL curves like a racetrack as long as the ball is less than 50% below the rim.
13:04 He's joking, but that actually sounds like a good game. It's already possible to score points for your opponent if you throw it in the wrong hoop, now imagine being able to not just increase your score but decrease your opponents score by bouncing the ball through their hoop in reverse. It's actually going to be harder because you'd have to be directly under their hoop or try to bounce it in, and if you do the latter it's going to be much easier for the opponent to take the ball. Plus it's all for nothing if it bounces back in: -2 + 2 = 0 change. It adds an entire new layer of strategy to the game. You could even increase the player count to 6 on 6 so teams can have a counter-defense player whose job is to subtract the opponents points.
Interesting video Neil. However, I definitely agree with Chuck on this one, golf is the most boring sport to watch followed by a close second baseball!
So surely this is the same mechanics as slingshotting around a planet? Ie if you steer directly at the planet, you crash (centre of the cup). If you steer to the side, you use the gravity to ‘fall towards the planet’ (cup) but your velocity is high enough that instead of crashing, you slingshot around. Also, very tricky to impart anything other than forward spin on a putt! (But if anyone can find a way to miss, it’s me)
I got into golfing because I played Tiger Woods on Playstation because I was injured for almost a year, I got so good at the game I could actually play in real life.... Now I only watch a game if Viktor Hovland is playing, just because of his favorite song. Plus he's a fellow stoner.... 😂
Hey Neil is great seeing you buddy thank you for sharing your video I subscribed to your channel you know we're not alone all those sightings out in the ocean with the military they're not from here I'll tell you right now 👍🏆👍
The answer to Chuck's question is no. What matters is the ball's FINAL resting position. If the ball's final resting is not in the cup, then it is not sunk.
9/11 survivor's are NOT happy with the game of golf as of late. If you watched the news your aware. Outstanding episode Gentleman #GaryOrocks #LordNiceRocks #Dr.TysonIsTheMan Brooklyn NY loves StarTalk
Hey Chuck, if NASA bounced astronauts off the moon, they wouldn’t have achieved their objective in landing men on the moon. The ball has to stay in the hole my friend.
Tell that to James Harden, the NBA rule is the ball must exit the cylinder in order to be a made basket, but James Harden dunked on someone, the ball exited the cylinder and bounced back up into the rim after hitting the head of the defender and he did get the made basket, even after replay.
While I'm 100% wit ya, on exploding golf Chuck; you're absolutely wrong about the bounce out (regardless of what the rule is), and once I explain it, you can't do nothin' but agree. Beeeecause (In my Neil voice)...had you made a better shot, prior to the bounce out, you wouldn't have had to take a swing causing the bounce out.
But in Billiards, if the ball goes in the pocket and then comes back out for any reason (bounces off another ball that was already in the pocket, or bounces off the bottom or side of the pocket itself), the shot does not count. So, no consistency across the Sports spectrum... go figure.
Two factors that Neil does not discuss. The dimples on a golf ball create lift and drag or linear rotational acceleration or deceleration depending on the spin of the golf ball and the fact that the horizon of the hole is almost never perpendicular to the centerline of Earth's gravitational pull.
FIRST!
Ye
You're always first in my heart StarTalk and Cast!
Bot! 😁
Not fair! Lol
LOL. Good one. I get sick of all these other people who leave these kinds of comments. It gets on my nerves. The truth is the content creator is the First one.
I’m a simple man, I see a StarTalk video, I click
What's StarTalk? If I see Neil's face... I click.
You're a simple man, you see a comment field, you leave a comment.
*#NGCO** **#Music** has to many **#Likes** 👍🏼 already. If 5 or less give them another.* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 😆😂🤣😜
Then you end up laugh out loud or at least smiling the whole time. Simple humour
If I learn a thing, I like. If I laugh even once, I like. I always like.
You should do an explainer about the chemistry of paint drying. That will get Chuck exited
Oh! Oh! Yes please!!!! 😁😁😁
I would definitely watch paint try with Chuck and Neil
I heard there's a 6 hour movie of paint drying. Fascinating watch.
So true 🙌😂
Now THAT is an idea!
Neil, Chuck & Gary- Love the episode. I am a Golf Science Educator, helping amateur and professional golfers understand the science of golf.

Official golf rule: ball must “come to rest” in the bottom of the cup
Quantum mechanically speaking it will never come to a rest
Come on, it's either in or out.
@@keepgoing1973 If it looks like it is then it is a particle not a wave with a higher probability is that the ball is adequately at rest in the bottom of the cup to be considered holled out, but since it will also be in superposition and there is a lower probability it is not. It all depends on the observer and their bias.
Thx for explaining the obvious.
@@AndyMillerPhotoUK thanks 🙏
For a Sec thought there was no Chuck in video. ExplainerZone is incomplete without Chuck 😌
And the best part is Chuck is always nice. He's never mean. lol.
I'm with Chuck on this. Show me exploding golf balls and I will watch golf too.
🤣🤣 Chuck nearly killed me in this episode.
Not the explainer about Golf I was expecting...but I'm not complaining.
(And I'm with you, Chuck. I'm with you.)
As a golf professional I can confirm for Neil, the ball has to come the rest i side of the hole.
9:15, It's a good thing we couldn't hear what Gary was thinking during his reaction...lol. Priceless
Neil and Chuck for 2024
That would be an awesome pairing for the next presidential election.
For the sports series, the science is the easier part for me. It's the sports terms i struggle with.
right??? i never thought they could make sports interesting and yet now i watch every episode
So, the reason I suck at pretty much every sport is science, instead of my complete lack of physical skill and coordination. Sounds good, I'll just roll with that! :P
"Yeah, I could run that touchdown for them in ten seconds flat, but, you know... science." :D
Oh my God Chuck has just made my day))

The science of golf how exciting 😀
I am with Chuck all the way on this golf stuff! LOL!!!
I want to see a golf ball achieve stable orbit around the hole...
I love your videos Neil!
I would like to believe that the commentators of exploding golf would have the professionalism to keep whispering throughout their description of the explosion :D
Half the reason I watch StarTalk is Neil deGrasse... The other half is Chuck
Talk about the Principal of Least Action. That would be much more interesting when talking about motion! Then people can be bored by basic motion of golf balls. LOL Love the show.
“You swing around!!!” Haha love that part
Please do a video on the physics/chemistry of paint drying!
With the ball going in and then coming out, a la, basketball and golf, in hockey, if the puck is shot with enough force to hit the net and then come back out it's a good goal.
DO AN EXPLAINER ON THE PHYSICS OF CURLING. THAT EOULD BE SUPER INTERESTING.
Chuck’s on fire!
I like smiling. When i watch you and Chuck. Ok i like smiling more now thank you
Smile thru the whole thing seems contagious
Golf is so much fun Chuck get out there and swing those wrenches!
I'm with Chuck on the exploding golf update to the rules.
Would you guys do the same for professional table tennis too , no sport ever has more spin than table tennis
Neil is my hero. Changed our world for the better. Good man.

The difference between the basketball and golf ring out is the ratio of the circumference of the ball to the circumference of the hoop/hole.
Thanks for yelling so much Chuck ... :Note to self don't wear ear phones when chuck is on! LOL

my self and my family watch this one like 4 times chuck lol this is better the actual tv

Chuck might like speed golf. I don't know the rules but running to the ball is a major aspect of the game.
😂👍 you wouldn’t believe your eyes 👀 should I somehow someday or, someway share something that I discovered with a high bounce ball. In time gentlemen & ty for sharing friends
Got a golf add during this vid😆
tyson wears different hats depending on his specialty, if i see that black cap i know it is sports :'( joking, i dont normally enjoy sports but neil and chuck make sports interesting and entertaining!
i would SO watch/play exploding golf
Please do an explainer on pool or snooker too in future 😊
The explanation is wrong. The rim does not curve like a racetrack. THE BALL curves like a racetrack as long as the ball is less than 50% below the rim.
Chuck needs to call the LIV tour.

One of the best scientists of our generation
i can't imagine the thoughts of someone who looks at the titles of the chapters of this video without the context of having seen em
An explainer on the conversion of solar energy
Chuck's new fav sport: golfing with handgranades
i had a plate fall accidentally before this clip came out, the universe is silly enough to let startalk be my echo chamber for this episode lol
Exploding golf balls. I would watch golf. But only when the ball explodes.
My uncle's a golf aficionado, so he'd probably like this video.
I was hoping for discussion on artificial gravity and I got a discussion on golf.
Interesting video Neil. However, I definitely agree with Chuck on this one, golf is the most boring sport to watch followed by a close second baseball!
Fishing tournaments
Cricket
I personally find baseball more boring than golf, same nature though.
Just when you thought this topic couldn’t be “whiter” he brings up NASCAR! Love these explainers!
You got a like for chuck's Augusta joke
Do an explainer video on what if all photons freezes and stop moving
Next: How angular momentum can save your day around a black hole.
I'm with Chuck on this, golf is boring, bring on exploding golf, or get rid of it completely, useless hobby
Agreed. Golf is incredibly boring. Maybe invent golf ball cannons. lol.
I get the feeling that Chuck doesn't like golf 😂
So it would create a track like inverted tires tread
So surely this is the same mechanics as slingshotting around a planet? Ie if you steer directly at the planet, you crash (centre of the cup). If you steer to the side, you use the gravity to ‘fall towards the planet’ (cup) but your velocity is high enough that instead of crashing, you slingshot around.

gulf ball is a hat blossom which showing socotra which hit from flip head
The only thing more boring than golf is senior golf. We need explosions, especially in seniors golf!
My man
I got into golfing because I played Tiger Woods on Playstation because I was injured for almost a year, I got so good at the game I could actually play in real life.... Now I only watch a game if Viktor Hovland is playing, just because of his favorite song. Plus he's a fellow stoner.... 😂
Most cups are now made of plastic. And yes, if it bounces out of the cup, you still must finish the hole. The ball must come to rest in the hole.
Come pile lations? "Campuhlations" there Doc!
Hey Neil is great seeing you buddy thank you for sharing your video I subscribed to your channel you know we're not alone all those sightings out in the ocean with the military they're not from here I'll tell you right now 👍🏆👍
Pool/billiards would have been a good example aswell
13:35 guys they just drill deeper holes!! and then you might see golf player laying on they´r stomach to fish out the ball they senk !🤣🤣
💡I Would have to actually play some golf to appreciate the sport.🎯
Wat would are Sence of time look like if if the earth slowed down would it change are visible thought of perception
Nice
Chuck!
It does happen also in basketball 🏀
What is a car was the conversations of the day.... Can u explain because it is believed if it's missing a part then it's no longer a car????
The answer to Chuck's question is no. What matters is the ball's FINAL resting position. If the ball's final resting is not in the cup, then it is not sunk.

There is only acceleration...
Have you seen the Entertaining Factor Of HOT SHOTS GOLF Guys..lol
A dart hits bull's eye and bounces off - no 50 Points, unfortunately. Same for golf?
No mention of the guest? The title or description doesn't say "featured guest....." I have no idea who the third person is
Gary O'reilly, he is a regular on the show everytime they talk sports, ex soccer player, now does sport's news and commentary.
Chuck is funny
i hate when this would happen when playing beer pong lol
