Nothing star like in being so ignorant as describing something as pure energy.Shows that he has weak understanding of what he copying here as his narrative.
I have a degree in physics, and it still blows my mind that we figured all of this out less than 100 years ago. It was brand-new science while my grandparents were alive. We may think we're an advanced society, but our scientific history pretty much all fits into the past 400-500 years (sorry, Archimedes--still love ya).
Absolutely agree! The genius of the scientists over the past century is astonishing. The fact that science advances exponentially along with technology has really made the field discover new science in mind blowing ways. It never ceases to amaze me how brilliant the people who were able to conceive these things!
@@SeauxNOLALady I think what makes both exponential is not that science and technology grow beside each other, but rather they grow because of each other. Every massive advancement in science such as the transistor within semiconductor physics led to things technological innovations like computers gaining massive amounts of computational power that allowed science again grow and to run simulations and solve more complex differential equations that led to even more technology and you see how it goes. Without each other they would likely be very slow growing, but together, they grow inextricably fast.
Don't be so cocky. We still can't explain a lot of things based on the standard model. Example, why are sun spot colder than the surface of the sun although they expose a deeper layer?! Why a lot of stars novae multiple times when it's possible for them to novae only once?!
@@nawalinizar what are you yapping about? Where was this “cocky” comment. And what do any of these comment have to do with claiming that we know a ton of stuff. Every comment here is talking about the rate of growth, not how much we know. Either way, maybe you just commented in the wrong chain but if not, as they say, “damn, that’s crazy…but when did I ask?”

Amazing content and narration, as always. It's great to hear not only fascinating science and animation, but also positivity and an obvious love for learning and teaching.
I absolutely love laying in bed after a long day of fighting with PCs and code, and hardware, etc... and listening to your calm, soothing voice explain things that I love knowing about, Even if Ive already known the knowledge being imparted. Thank you so much for your videos; we appreciate you, and your kind heart. Much love from our family to yours 👊
Alex, this work is truly enlightening. How could anyone who opens their mind up long enough to play with the ideas that you've shared here ever close it down again and be filled with enough anger, hatred or fear to invade countries, destroy cities and murder people? Scientific education is a magic bullet for our species' ills. I loved your invitation to look at the next sunrise and marvel at the distance through space and time that the photons hitting my retinas have travelled. Opening up to this beauty (with all its tantalising as-yet-unknowns) brings humility, perspective and proportion to our often ego-centric lives. Thank you once again for your passion and the skill with which you share your knowledge.
It is awesome that we have a resource like TH-cam, I wish they were teaching young people how to use it to get educated. I'm not saying I have a working knowledge of this stuff but I do love the fact that I can learn about it and not be an expert, it is a great way to spend 30 minutes
I agree with your sentiment. However, scientists created the weapons of mass destruction we have. Look up Fritz Haber. He was a Nobel prize winning chemist who created the Haber-Bosch process for creating chemical fertilizer which is necessary to feed our population. He also created chemical warfare using chlorine gas to kill on a mass scale in the trenches of World War I. Science is fascinating, but we are still human with all the goodness and evil that includes.
Alex, I swear you are the BEST narrator on this Planet! The passion you possess in this sector, speaks for itself! And don’t even get me started how mind-boggling it is, when I think of how much we’re a mere iota of this thing known as the Universe! I re-subscribed! And am a Member once again!
It's a 50/50 for me with these kinda channels... It's always calming, but sometimes in a way that just makes me wanna pay close attention and think. Still meditative, but not necessarily gonna help with sleep
You're a great teacher alex, i never really thought I'd be able to understand nuclear fusion, you broke it down very clearly. I have learned so much from your videos
I love this video! I would be interested in more information on Helium 3 as it’s something I hear we might be mining on the Moon one day. It bent my Dad’s mind when I suggested to him that a photon took this long to reach the surface of the Sun years ago. Storyblocks Rocks!
Every sunrise I witness is special. Having been reminded by Alex that photons reaching us are tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years old will make every future sunrise even more special for me. I will remember to take a moment to appreciate the living in the modern world lit and warmed by the ancient light.
Thank you, Alex. ☀ Since I prefer city-living, I've only ever been fortunate enough to live at the elevation in which I could enjoy sunrises/sunsets. They were always appreciated.
Thank you Alex! You are always so interesting. I don't understand one thing about math, but I can think along the lines of theoretical physics and figure out a great deal about the way the Cosmos works and I've always been fascinated. One of my favourite things to do is to lean back with the sun on my face and to describe to someone nearby what each proton had to go through to land there and warm my face. Always a great place to lose myself during my lunch break!
Alex I'm a huge fan of your work - you're consistently inspiring. Thank you for sharing your masterful talent making intricate scientific knowledge UNDERSTANDABLE, thank you for exploring everything you cover with such rich visuals, and maybe most importantly, thank you for doing what you do from your soul, bringing your own individual personality and poetry into what you give out for the world. Carl Sagan would be immensely proud of you, fellow human, I'm fully certain.
I'm sure Alex has brought it up before but the initial formation of our system was likely enriched by a neutron star merger that formed the "abundant" heavy elements we find here.
....you really don't understand this? 🤦♂️ there is no "north" in space. you can make the sun "set" wherever you want by changing where you are looking at the earth from. also, the sun can't rise or set when you have no horizon
Its just an optical illusion it's not meant to be viewed like a sunset but a photogenic "sun behind the earth" shot that is just oriented a little strange
I am quite fortunate to have had your channel pop-up in my algo. I wish I'd found it ages ago. I could not be more impressed with your resources for such stunning renderings and impressive digital video of such quality, that it is as close to 3D as I can get without wearing the funny glasses. This was just brilliant! Both Parts I & II were fabulous...visually and factually. Cheers!
I enjoyed this video. i learned most of this in my undergraduate degree taking astronomy 101 but this still always fascinates me how we figured this all out. and I of course love the visuals. well done.
It's like you make the perfect masterpiece and there's always gonna be someone that finds the two letters that are out of place. That's why prefer smaller audiences.
it's interesting to think that a photon from the sun in that next sunrise you mention, started its journey before we had left Africa, and, that one that is released in the core while that sunrise is taking place may well arrive long after we are no more.
Despite skepticism, the remarkable story of human physics exploration has produced an awe-inspiring story about stat light formation. I do not doubt there's infinitely more to know about this story, but this does not by any means diminish the achievements of human physics.
Yeah caught that too. Less would be >/ and not \< (slash is the equal to or..) in that scenario. Envisioning a fish with its mouth open really does help🤣
@@Idrizze Yeah, and there is another spot later in the video where the evaluation of the reactions seems like a minus sign got flipped somewhere... the usual suspect. 1:1.☺
Every now and again, the sun will appear so brilliantly orange in the morning sky, and vibrant orange light will beam through my window. I feel so at ease and happy when this happens, assuming I'm awake to see it.
Okay long time subscriber and patron member here: This was a curve ball episode. A real knock out! Top 5 Best Astrum Videos of All Time. This edit and story structure really change my perspective on the sun. Wow... Really well done!
i would love a videos covering all the stars from brown dwarfs to M type all the way to O type stars, those massive powerhouses of the universe fascinate me, thanks for the video
It's wild to think that, on a cosmic scale, 4.5 billion years is basically enough time for our star to be created from the remnants of those before it for and those could have even been made from stars before it at the dawn of the universe. Makes you wonder how things were in the before times and if a part of me might be some from someone else.
Increase in temp doesn't directly cause more energy to be released, i.e. suddenly H fusion releases more energy). What it does directly do is increase the reaction rate (more H is fused per the same amount of time as before).

If so, why are we unable to Start Nuclear Fussion on earth? Passing the Coulomb barrier through a quantum tunnel?
We cannot achieve the densities of the solar core. So, fusion devices on Earth have to have much higher temperatures.
