The funny thing is sometimes I see really positive responses to posts like this one and sometimes I'll see really nasty replies. Personally, I say thank you. Some topics just aren't very interesting to me so it's nice to know where to go!
I appreciate scientitsts who say, 'looks like we were wrong about xyz', and quickly adjust so they can enjoy and perpetuate the joy of discovery versus the so called scientits who are really modern day flat earthers who do everything they can to stop facts from seeing the light of day so that they can temporarily maintain false authority. Thank you!
You say 'modern day flat earthers' like there isn't a growing movement of modern actual, unironic Flat Earthers, lol. You're welcome for ruining or making your evening depending on how you take this news.
pretty ironic to say "modern day flatearthers" considering they're a modern occurrence. the ancient world didn't believed the earth was flat, we're just evolving backwards
Flat Earthers don't actually believe the World is flat, they just troll people who treat science as a religion. They target people who treat theories as facts and get upset if anyone questions popular theories...even though skepticism is the main principle of science. So they do the same exact thing mapmakers have been doing for thousands of years and then troll the living Hell out of the people who get upset over it
A lot of people don’t understand that when we discover something that challenges current models, it’s EXCITING! The basic principle of the scientific method is that if your model doesn’t agree with observation, then there is something wrong with your model. To the average layperson this may seem like it’s bad for science, but that’s exactly what allows us to learn more about reality. Unexpected things mean we have more to learn. It is important to note, however, that a conflicting observation does not justify throwing out a model that works very well for many other things, it means that we must either modify our model to explain everything it already does and the new observation, or we must find a new model that does this as well.
yea but the problem is people assume things.....even the scientific Dr.s of today have fallen into the idea of consensus......consensus is anti-science by its very existence.....

It is important to note, however, that a conflicting observation does not justify throwing out a model that works very well for many other things, it means that we must either modify our model to explain everything it already does and the new observation, or we must find a new model that does this as well. I agree with some of this, however I feel it is missing context....if the model works well for many other tings but not a few it is a common variable, not the rule.....thus, non scientific... this is a common problem now, mainly in the idea that we call theories facts...as recent as the 90s, you would have been laughed out of the room if you started calling a scientific theory fact....as 99% of today's "scientists" do... just because something is the same most of the time, does not make it the rule...you can drop a ball a million times, its not going to magically float upwards...thus gravity pulling something to the earth happens 100% of the time unless interfered with..That is a rule, not a theory...
Absolutely. Well put. My personal view is that it's perhaps beyond human comprehension. Its infinity in ALL scenarios and in all senses of the world. The Universe always is. It always has been, and it always shall be. There was no Big Bang. Except possibly from our perspective and our limits to understanding it all.
...no, we just call them pseudo scientists. & conspiracy theories. Until say, lazer weapons are mentioned once or twice by a politician. Eventually being used nonchalantly in a conflict.
When you find evidence that disagrees with current models that *are repeatable* you can make scientific progress. Too many shady individuals bring out claims that go against current models, but either put out falsified data, or just say "trust me, bro."
@@rebeccarakuza2845 Not sure what you mean by naturally cloned. They come from sexual reproduction. Each tadpole is genetically unique, though there are some interesting metholization going on from various environmental inputs. There are some differences in the egg vs amniotes which makes it easier to modify... hence the use of tadpoles. Care to elaborate on natural cloning. I feel like I am missing something here that would make it make sense if I knew it.

I would love to hear more detail on the statement that "the production of electric vehicles is more polluting" than using an internal combustion engine. Is there a break-even point based on the life of the vehicle. I find the unintended consequences of "green" technology fascinating and important to know.
Yes it's something like, producing a new small electric vehicle (all of the energy, mining, resources, etc required) uses about the same amount of resources as producing a large diesel pickup. This is partially due to the battery materials and manufacturing. If someone is looking to buy a car to commute in, they may look at a Model 3 or a Honda Accord. The Model 3 required more resources to manufacture initially than the Accord, so that is why they say producing electric vehicles is more polluting than a normal ICE. But over time, the Model 3 uses less energy and creates less pollutants to drive around than the Accord, so at some point, maybe 100,000 miles, the Model 3 will make up for its 'original sin' of being electric, and actually start to be better for the earth than the Accord. This is assuming you aren't charging the Model 3 with incinerated Spotted Owl corpses, or whatnot. Then there is also the case of keeping existing cars on the road for as long as possible. They may be slightly more polluting than a brand new car or EV on a daily basis, but I wonder how long it takes a new car to make up for the fact that it had to be made at all, because someone didn't take care of their old car, or just callously discarded it so they could have the newest, shiniest thing?
Yeah I was also disappointed with the gloss over the green energy section, it's true that fossil fuel production does create arsenic as well, in Torry-math-theory-class, oil and gas doesn't ever leak or spill but in practice it spills quite a bit, I was disappointed they glossed over how lithium can be recycled, and theoretically our markets will eventually have enough lithium to be able to sustain future demand on recycled past lithium, it's also an impugnment of the lazy/dirty mining processes in general and nothing inherent about clean energy. Also disappointed to see no mention of how sugar-doped lithium batteries are up to 10x as powerful, basically all the way up to a pure sugar battery being more than 10x as powerful as lithium ion, we can get sugar from any crop, not just "sugarcane" but any plant with DNA (ahem- any plant) will compost down and break down into its basic sugars which can be harvested for batteries. We can also make plastic from compost so we can get basically perfect batteries from compost but no one's talking about it or imagining that even so we're still stuck wringing our hands about whether it's a good move to buy a prius or an EV, when ultimately it's about sending a message to auto producers that these models are the future, I never understood the idea of saying hey company X has bad mining practices so we better give up on clean energy, sounds like some excellent oil and gas propaganda to me this video
Little facts: charging AND discharging wastes 5-15% of energy for EACH cycle. Lithium reacts violently with water If the EV car catches fire, you have about 7 seconds to jump out or turn into a 0smoke Fire cannot be stopped until the batteries have burned Currently 1lbs of gas hold the same energy as the 13lbs of the best Tesla batteries. This translates: you WILL hauls 1200 lbs of batteries instead of 100lbs of gas and it get ridiculous with trucks: 12.000 lbs of batteries will get you a small percentage the diesel range in the unfavorable conditions, which do NOT affect diesel much: cold or hot. Read about the Canadian experience with the public transport. The companies offering EV trucks have REAL ranges somewhere down in fine print and now claim the trucks are ONLY for a local transport. NO fresh strawberries from Florida in Chicago in around one day. VIABLE tech takes over WITHOUT ABSOLUTELY INSANE amounts of subsidies. ZERO carbon tax, that is killing the energy sector have given us the tech of today. TWO THIRDS of the companies are relocating from the "Green" Germany abroad. ETC ETC

It's really, really difficult to fathom the size/scale/breadth/depth of the sky. It's one thing to stand in an open field or atop a hill/mountain and see all the huge sky around you and be like "damn, this would def take me a while to work through if I had to map all the stars I see at night." It's another thing entirely to then realize that for the further away you want to look, the field of focus narrows ever more so that, as an ass-pull numerical example, you go from being able to chart say, 1% of the sky at a time to 0.00000001% because you're basically taking a microscope to a distant section of space and even if you can pan the 'scope over, it's really hard to turn that into a cohesive image or map that connects.
As an individual with a B.S in the sciences (not even close to the biggest brain and am not about to claim so), I always appreciate new information coming out to challenge current hypothesis and theories. I have gotten very tired of scientists, who have been trained far better, coming out and stating hypotheses and theories as “fact”. They are not. These are simply the best answers we have come up with this far, and could be disproven tomorrow. The people who make these statements are standing on the shoulders of giants and acting like they are giants themselves. Not a fan of that behavior.
Very few scientific theories have ever been disproven. Scientific theory is as close fact as science gets because as you just said "it COULD" be disproven. Scientists don't like being wrong so leaving that .01% chance as a scapegoat has always looked good. That being said I agree with the hypotheses statement completely, far to many people of science and even far more with literally no background or even an interest spew hypotheses as theory and claim it fact because they saw it online once.
@@This1TimeAtBandCamp1 I must, respectfully, disagree. A theory is an hypothesis which has not yet been disproven. There are very few accepted scientific laws. Gravity comes to mind. As time passes and learning grows I firmly believe many theories will be disproven and a good number of hypotheses will be proven. That said, and I think this is where we agree, many, many times untested hypothesis are put forth as theories. Which is both factually and scientifically inaccurate and leads to a false sense of confidence in VERY fringe ideas.
@@Philbrey RPGs don't have a lifetime's worth of information for you to discover packed into something too small for the human eye to see. They get very repetitive very quickly. It is literally impossible for the human brain to comprehend the amount of stuff that makes up existence, let alone learn everything about everything in a single human life. Pick something you're interested in and have at it.

(Sigh) Bees are not in danger. The supposed problem of Sudden Colony Colapse is not a new issue, they simply gave what Bee keepers have known about for hundreds or thousands of years a scary name. It is a common thing YEARLY.
Agreed, but its nice to have a reliable backup should something go wrong. Also bees don't do well in environments that they aren't accustomed to, such as space or another planet, but the plants themselves might be perfectly happy in. These robots would allow us to pollinate the plants in these environments with much less fuss than trying to acclimatize or genetically modify Bees to do the same thing.
That is actually bad for a channels watch time. As it expects for example 20 minutes but if you speed it up it only registers 10 minutes so it looks like you clicked off after 10 minutes. TH-cam should really fix that so it still registers as a whole view.
My favorite recent discovery was evidence for the fusion of elements inside water vacuum bubble collapses. It is absolutely fascinating. It totally rewrites most of what we understand to be about the formation of elements in our galaxy, human history, radiometric dating, and much more. It also opens up modern alchemy as a legitimate science based specialty, lol. All around super cool.
No you're wrong, I know it sounds seducing, but there's sadly no magic in the world, only energy transfer. If you want to turn tomato sauce into gold, you'll have to spend A LOT of energy, whatever "water vacuum bubble collapse" some dude on youtube sold you :(

The problem with cloning is that the DNA used from say, a 10 year old sheep, already has 10 years worth of DNA degradation and mutation. So the cloned sheep essentially starts life 10 years old, shortening its average lifespan.

Ok,let’s assume for a second that the original hypothesis of the uppermost limit of a cosmic structure is correct and that the structures we are detecting appear to be massively larger than they should be, are known to be farther away than what we expected, and that gravity affects time by slowing it down. We include the fact that the space between galaxies is increasing relative to the size of said galaxies. Throw in that black holes are supposed to be matter crushed down to a singularity or close to it but appear massive . Let’s also go with the universe is what, 4.5 billion years old but a bunch of things we see contradicts that in an expanding universe. Keep in mind that the universe expanding is an assumption based on the distance between galaxies increasing. Why wouldn’t it make more since that every particle in the universe is shrinking and the impossibility large cosmic structures we see are only what they use to be when every single particle in he universe was larger and closer together relative to there size. Why are you so blind to the idea that we are shrinking? Prove me wrong. Prove not theorize because you can’t. Except it as a possibility reason.
Simon says. our world is a wonderful place, with never-ending amazing features to astound, many yet to be found. Nothing about putting your hands on your head.. or anywhere else.

Wait what is this? What am I looking at? Now, Sir. You're looking at now. Everything that is happening now is happening now. Well go back to then! We can't. Why? We passed it. When? Just now.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Big Ring is 9.2 billions light-years away, doesn't that mean we see it now as it was 9.2 billion years ago? You know, speed of light and all that? And if that's the case, shouldn't the Upper Limit be even smaller than 1.2 billion light-years because, as I said, it was 4.x billion light-years in diameter 9.2 billion years ago? Doesn't that make it even more puzzling?
Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics - that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look. This problem, known as the Hubble Tension, has the potential to alter or even upend cosmology altogether. In 2019, measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the puzzle was real; in 2023, even more precise measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cemented the discrepancy. Now, a triple-check by both telescopes working together appears to have put the possibility of any measurement error to bed for good. The study, published February 6 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that there may be something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe.
And a new study, unpublished yet, but discussed at an event, looks at the same data and shows that there may not actually be a Hubble Tension at all and it could all just be an acculutated mistake in how the data is being processed.
I had heard that many space related theories are essentially just speculation (very little evidentiary data) and we should not be surprised if a number of them prove to be wildly inaccurate.
I don't think that it should be very surprising that we seriously misunderstand the universe. Evolution formed our senses of perception and other capabilities to assist us in surviving, not to enable us to understand the universe. In other words, we are woefully ill equiped to understand the universe. What I do find surprising is that we understand so much with the limited tools that are available to us. But then, on the other hand, our understanding may be a woefully strong form of anthropomorphism that has us way off in left field.
The recent observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have provided groundbreaking insights into the early universe, particularly regarding the formation and growth of supermassive black holes. One of the most significant findings was the identification of an active supermassive black hole in the galaxy GN-z11, which existed only 430 million years after the Big Bang, significantly altering our understanding of black hole formation in the nascent universe. The JWST’s highly sensitive infrared observations allowed astronomers to detect the accretion disk of the black hole, where gas and dust are being drawn in, and to measure the rate of accretion, a key indicator of the black hole’s growth and energy output  . Additionally, Webb’s data revealed smaller, previously undetected black holes, some as small as 10 million solar masses, in galaxies that existed within the first billion years of the universe’s history. These “lightweight” black holes were previously too faint to be detected by other telescopes. This discovery is crucial because it suggests that such black holes were likely more common in the early universe than previously thought, and their detection opens new avenues for understanding the mechanisms of black hole formation during the universe’s formative years  . In terms of methodology, Webb’s high-resolution infrared spectroscopy allowed for precise measurements of redshifts, enabling astronomers to pinpoint the exact time these black holes formed relative to the Big Bang. By studying the emission spectra from these distant objects, scientists can also analyze the physical conditions of their host galaxies, including star formation rates and gas accretion processes. This detailed data not only enhances our understanding of black hole physics but also informs broader cosmological models concerning the evolution of galaxies in the early universe.
I love when astrologers, scientists, and evolutionists claim to know how the universe works exactly and that anybody who claims a different theory than them is wrong; only for them to collect more data and information that completely shatters and upends what they previously thought(and sometimes prove past "theories" correct all along or at the very least make them seem more plausible).

When I think about the future of batteries, there are some really exciting developments. Lithium-sulfur batteries could offer better energy efficiency and lower costs, especially since sulfur is much more abundant than cobalt. Sodium-ion batteries are also gaining attention because they’re cheaper and perform better in colder conditions. Plus, cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries are being developed to address environmental and ethical issues related to cobalt mining. Iron-air batteries might become important for long-term energy storage, offering a cheaper alternative, even though they charge more slowly. And then there are organic batteries, which have the potential for faster charging and lower material costs.
Hoping these new scientific discoveries, and future ones, will now help humanity and the planet thrive. May these scientists be protected from corruption and manipulation and be safe and protected from harm and evil. Unity in working together for a sustainable future...
Sadly, Afghanistan has a ton of lithium and other metals that science is interested in, so we can expect continued combat (at some level) so various countries can aquire it. Ugh.
I believe there are two main problems with lithium: The first is that extracting it is cumbersome, and as stated in the video, causes some pretty massive negative repercussions for the environment. While we likely have more on Earth total, than we can use *currently*, most of it is inaccessible. This puts a huge limit on how much we can actually utilize in manufacturing. Second, lithium is one of the least abundant elements overall, and more lithium can't be produced. There is currently no known process to manufacture lithium, so the amount we have is the *total* amount we will ever have. So while we might have more than enough for our needs at present, if we ever try to massively scale up our usage of the element, we could easily hit a permanent limit.
@@AeriFyrein Lithium is the 25th most abundant element on Earth, there is more than we could ever use. But like I've said, it can be quite labor-intensive to extract. That is because it's usually in fairly low concentration. But they are developing new techniques for extraction that are much better. There are probably better battery chemistries coming up, but we are not gonna run out of lithium no matter how much we need. Lithium is kind of like aluminum: it's incredibly plentiful, but it requires a lot of energy to refine. That's why aluminum and lithium are both great candidates for recycling, and lithium that is extracted from dead batteries can be used again, nothing about it is depleted from use, it's a good as new.
I believe lithium will eventually go out favor for most uses except perhaps air travel and high performance applications. In those cases, high cost and the requirement for other expensive metals in the batteries like nickel, and cycle life downsides will remain worth it. But for just about everything else, cheaper tech like sodium ion will likely take over.

The water thing is dumbed down.. a lot. Saline solutions have ALWAYS been good electrical conductors.. you just run into the problem that is also really good at rusting damn near everything that conducts the electrical charge. The breakthrough was more along the lines of finding a way to make the rusting either not happen, or in a way that doesn't interrupt the flow of electricity. Calcium does the same thing, it coats surfaces then prevents the flow of electricity. The discovery was more about the materials/techniques that allow water to be used effectively.
@@SeraphRyanindeed. In fact the power source of the Nautilus in the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is said to be aluminum that produces electricity via the salt in the sea water. So it’s not like the idea hasn’t been out there a while.
I have felt that the Big Bang never happened. The universe has always been there but, there are more than one universe, meaning that one universe pushes against another, compressing and releasing one against another, or, two or, three or more universes. Perhaps like bubbles, one pops intruding into the compressed space of the other. Older and younger universe spaces then combine and expand. This could perhaps explain some of the findings that were expressed here in the video.
This is VERY cool. The batteries alone are worth their own video. Will definitely be checking more of these out! One thing though: You talk SO FAST. 😅 I had to put it on .75 speed!
Perhaps our error is in imagining one universe with 1 Big Bang, instead of a collage of universes (redefining multiverse theory somewhat) with a cluster of Smaller Bangs (more miniature creation events), thus leading to smaller actual "universes" (meaning that each of these superclusters ought to be reimagined as a mini-universe, with it's own creation event).
It isn't failsafes. It more has to do with how the earliest organisms reproduced that way, but as we got more complicated, we started doing it in other ways, which are not really compatible with cloning. Basically just billions of years of evolution moving us away from that, making it very hard to get it to work now.
A little googling told me the Big Ring is actually the end of a corkscrew of galaxies. It looks like a ring from here. Whether ring or spring, that is one fascinating structure.
I’ve been tracking battery patents and discoveries since the mid-90s and I just want to make sure our expectations are realistic here. Pretty much EVERY YEAR you could do a video on battery advancements like this. But due to significant physical limitations or politics, we are basically using the same Li-Ion battery cells as in 1995, just with a few tweaks and about 30% gain in efficiency. Yet every year the battery hype train ramps up. Why do I bring this up? Because everyone is stuck in the paradigm of “my model 3 has 350 miles range but just wait for the next breakthrough!”… we have been waiting for the next BIG breakthrough for decades. Just the opinion of an aging scientist that has seen other fields grow by leaps and bounds while batteries are stuck in this cycle.
Water and calcium batteries… ok cool they can charge often. Ok. But how long will they last. People aren’t going to refill their water batteries once an hour. Maybe some niche market for them but they aren’t going to touch lithium … which was heavily implied
In the 1970's, I worked with batches of genetically identical mice. These were used to compare the effects of treatment dosages for cancer chemotherapy. How were the mice produced? A single egg cell was fertilized in a dish. After it started dividing, under a microscope a worker would physically separate the cells. Each of these was then implanted separately, and formed twins. While the cells were still singular, they could be frozen quickly enough to avoid forming internal crystals. After a first batch of twins reached old age, it was possible to thaw out some of the saved cells and implant them in new host mothers. This produced younger twins. When using this method, there was no ill effect from ripping apart a single adult cell to remove and transfer genetic material while constructing a (hopefully) viable clone egg cell. The process created multiple generations of perfectly healthy, genetically identical "clones." By using this method, we can make a perfect clone (younger twin) of an adult human, right now. Actually, we could do it a half century ago. To make it work, we simply need to do the planning, and reserve frozen copies of the original egg at the time of conception. Lots of "test tube" humans exist, and are perfectly healthy. If any of their parents had saved copies of their original egg cell, then any one of them could create a perfect genetic duplicate of themselves, as a child, using existing technology.
I do not understand the pearl clutching over cloning. Now, I'm one of those people who hates the idea of animal testing, but I don't see an issue with cloning specifically. They're going to test on animals either way, so I'm not sure what cloning has to do with that.
Same. Like surely learning cloning would be useful, then we can clone organs instead of whole organisms. I'd have no problem with having my organs cloned and replaced if the current ones are unhealthy.

You’re the best. Please do this for other videos you watch, it truly is a gift.
Thank you for saving my time.
The funny thing is sometimes I see really positive responses to posts like this one and sometimes I'll see really nasty replies. Personally, I say thank you. Some topics just aren't very interesting to me so it's nice to know where to go!
I appreciate scientitsts who say, 'looks like we were wrong about xyz', and quickly adjust so they can enjoy and perpetuate the joy of discovery versus the so called scientits who are really modern day flat earthers who do everything they can to stop facts from seeing the light of day so that they can temporarily maintain false authority. Thank you!
You say 'modern day flat earthers' like there isn't a growing movement of modern actual, unironic Flat Earthers, lol. You're welcome for ruining or making your evening depending on how you take this news.
Who are these scientists you have in mind?
pretty ironic to say "modern day flatearthers" considering they're a modern occurrence. the ancient world didn't believed the earth was flat, we're just evolving backwards
Flat Earthers don't actually believe the World is flat, they just troll people who treat science as a religion.
They target people who treat theories as facts and get upset if anyone questions popular theories...even though skepticism is the main principle of science.
So they do the same exact thing mapmakers have been doing for thousands of years and then troll the living Hell out of the people who get upset over it
@@vincentcabezas7147they thought we were the center of the universe in ancient times as well as being flat. 😂 but yeah.
A lot of people don’t understand that when we discover something that challenges current models, it’s EXCITING! The basic principle of the scientific method is that if your model doesn’t agree with observation, then there is something wrong with your model. To the average layperson this may seem like it’s bad for science, but that’s exactly what allows us to learn more about reality. Unexpected things mean we have more to learn. It is important to note, however, that a conflicting observation does not justify throwing out a model that works very well for many other things, it means that we must either modify our model to explain everything it already does and the new observation, or we must find a new model that does this as well.
yea but the problem is people assume things.....even the scientific Dr.s of today have fallen into the idea of consensus......consensus is anti-science by its very existence.....
Yes
Unexpected things mean we have more to learn. It is important to note, however, that a conflicting observation does not justify throwing out a model that works very well for many other things, it means that we must either modify our model to explain everything it already does and the new observation, or we must find a new model that does this as well.
I agree with some of this, however I feel it is missing context....if the model works well for many other tings but not a few it is a common variable, not the rule.....thus, non scientific...
this is a common problem now, mainly in the idea that we call theories facts...as recent as the 90s, you would have been laughed out of the room if you started calling a scientific theory fact....as 99% of today's "scientists" do...
just because something is the same most of the time, does not make it the rule...you can drop a ball a million times, its not going to magically float upwards...thus gravity pulling something to the earth happens 100% of the time unless interfered with..That is a rule, not a theory...
Absolutely.
Well put.
My personal view is that it's perhaps beyond human comprehension.
Its infinity in ALL scenarios and in all senses of the world.
The Universe always is.
It always has been, and it always shall be.
There was no Big Bang.

@@corryburton9252 Please do some quick googling to learn what a scientific theory is.
It is when we find something that DISAGREES with current models that we make real scientific progress.

@@madmartigan8119 You are mistaken.
When you find evidence that disagrees with current models that *are repeatable* you can make scientific progress.

Dolly was the first MAMMAL to be cloned. Someone cloned tadpoles back in the 50s.
And nature does it naturally too: parthenogenesis.
Aren't tadpoles one of those things that are sort of naturally cloned? ( honest question)
Really?
@@rebeccarakuza2845 I was wondering that myself when I read the original comment!
@@rebeccarakuza2845 Not sure what you mean by naturally cloned. They come from sexual reproduction. Each tadpole is genetically unique, though there are some interesting metholization going on from various environmental inputs. There are some differences in the egg vs amniotes which makes it easier to modify... hence the use of tadpoles.
Care to elaborate on natural cloning. I feel like I am missing something here that would make it make sense if I knew it.
Instead of cloning humans, clone organs. That would be the game changer

I would love to hear more detail on the statement that "the production of electric vehicles is more polluting" than using an internal combustion engine. Is there a break-even point based on the life of the vehicle. I find the unintended consequences of "green" technology fascinating and important to know.
Yes it's something like, producing a new small electric vehicle (all of the energy, mining, resources, etc required) uses about the same amount of resources as producing a large diesel pickup. This is partially due to the battery materials and manufacturing. If someone is looking to buy a car to commute in, they may look at a Model 3 or a Honda Accord. The Model 3 required more resources to manufacture initially than the Accord, so that is why they say producing electric vehicles is more polluting than a normal ICE. But over time, the Model 3 uses less energy and creates less pollutants to drive around than the Accord, so at some point, maybe 100,000 miles, the Model 3 will make up for its 'original sin' of being electric, and actually start to be better for the earth than the Accord. This is assuming you aren't charging the Model 3 with incinerated Spotted Owl corpses, or whatnot. Then there is also the case of keeping existing cars on the road for as long as possible. They may be slightly more polluting than a brand new car or EV on a daily basis, but I wonder how long it takes a new car to make up for the fact that it had to be made at all, because someone didn't take care of their old car, or just callously discarded it so they could have the newest, shiniest thing?
Thank you@@losttimeoverland
@Losttimeoverland , So... I shouldn't be using spotted owls now? This is confusing. I thought they were better for the environment than baby seals?
Yeah I was also disappointed with the gloss over the green energy section, it's true that fossil fuel production does create arsenic as well, in Torry-math-theory-class, oil and gas doesn't ever leak or spill but in practice it spills quite a bit, I was disappointed they glossed over how lithium can be recycled, and theoretically our markets will eventually have enough lithium to be able to sustain future demand on recycled past lithium, it's also an impugnment of the lazy/dirty mining processes in general and nothing inherent about clean energy. Also disappointed to see no mention of how sugar-doped lithium batteries are up to 10x as powerful, basically all the way up to a pure sugar battery being more than 10x as powerful as lithium ion, we can get sugar from any crop, not just "sugarcane" but any plant with DNA (ahem- any plant) will compost down and break down into its basic sugars which can be harvested for batteries. We can also make plastic from compost so we can get basically perfect batteries from compost but no one's talking about it or imagining that even so we're still stuck wringing our hands about whether it's a good move to buy a prius or an EV, when ultimately it's about sending a message to auto producers that these models are the future, I never understood the idea of saying hey company X has bad mining practices so we better give up on clean energy, sounds like some excellent oil and gas propaganda to me this video
Little facts: charging AND discharging wastes 5-15% of energy for EACH cycle.
Lithium reacts violently with water
If the EV car catches fire, you have about 7 seconds to jump out or turn into a 0smoke
Fire cannot be stopped until the batteries have burned
Currently 1lbs of gas hold the same energy as the 13lbs of the best Tesla batteries. This translates: you WILL hauls 1200 lbs of batteries instead of 100lbs of gas and it get ridiculous with trucks: 12.000 lbs of batteries will get you a small percentage the diesel range in the unfavorable conditions, which do NOT affect diesel much: cold or hot. Read about the Canadian experience with the public transport. The companies offering EV trucks have REAL ranges somewhere down in fine print and now claim the trucks are ONLY for a local transport. NO fresh strawberries from Florida in Chicago in around one day.
VIABLE tech takes over WITHOUT ABSOLUTELY INSANE amounts of subsidies. ZERO carbon tax, that is killing the energy sector have given us the tech of today.

Number 6 discovery: Simon churns out a new channel every few months
What's the newest? I haven't seen a brand new channel from him in over a year and a half, from what I remember, anyways. This channel, for example, was founded in 2020.

Cause it took months to collect slivers of light and create the composite photo we see. We simply could not collect and allocate enough light to see it until recently.
It's really, really difficult to fathom the size/scale/breadth/depth of the sky. It's one thing to stand in an open field or atop a hill/mountain and see all the huge sky around you and be like "damn, this would def take me a while to work through if I had to map all the stars I see at night." It's another thing entirely to then realize that for the further away you want to look, the field of focus narrows ever more so that, as an ass-pull numerical example, you go from being able to chart say, 1% of the sky at a time to 0.00000001% because you're basically taking a microscope to a distant section of space and even if you can pan the 'scope over, it's really hard to turn that into a cohesive image or map that connects.

As an individual with a B.S in the sciences (not even close to the biggest brain and am not about to claim so), I always appreciate new information coming out to challenge current hypothesis and theories.
I have gotten very tired of scientists, who have been trained far better, coming out and stating hypotheses and theories as “fact”. They are not. These are simply the best answers we have come up with this far, and could be disproven tomorrow.
The people who make these statements are standing on the shoulders of giants and acting like they are giants themselves. Not a fan of that behavior.
Very few scientific theories have ever been disproven. Scientific theory is as close fact as science gets because as you just said "it COULD" be disproven. Scientists don't like being wrong so leaving that .01% chance as a scapegoat has always looked good. That being said I agree with the hypotheses statement completely, far to many people of science and even far more with literally no background or even an interest spew hypotheses as theory and claim it fact because they saw it online once.
A b.s is just bs😂
Theories are called theories for a reason.😂
@@This1TimeAtBandCamp1 I must, respectfully, disagree. A theory is an hypothesis which has not yet been disproven. There are very few accepted scientific laws. Gravity comes to mind. As time passes and learning grows I firmly believe many theories will be disproven and a good number of hypotheses will be proven.
That said, and I think this is where we agree, many, many times untested hypothesis are put forth as theories. Which is both factually and scientifically inaccurate and leads to a false sense of confidence in VERY fringe ideas.

Agreed, but its nice to have a reliable backup should something go wrong. Also bees don't do well in environments that they aren't accustomed to, such as space or another planet, but the plants themselves might be perfectly happy in. These robots would allow us to pollinate the plants in these environments with much less fuss than trying to acclimatize or genetically modify Bees to do the same thing.

My favorite recent discovery was evidence for the fusion of elements inside water vacuum bubble collapses. It is absolutely fascinating.

Ok,let’s assume for a second that the original hypothesis of the uppermost limit of a cosmic structure is correct and that the structures we are detecting appear to be massively larger than they should be, are known to be farther away than what we expected, and that gravity affects time by slowing it down. We include the fact that the space between galaxies is increasing relative to the size of said galaxies. Throw in that black holes are supposed to be matter crushed down to a singularity or close to it but appear massive . Let’s also go with the universe is what, 4.5 billion years old but a bunch of things we see contradicts that in an expanding universe. Keep in mind that the universe expanding is an assumption based on the distance between galaxies increasing. Why wouldn’t it make more since that every particle in the universe is shrinking and the impossibility large cosmic structures we see are only what they use to be when every single particle in he universe was larger and closer together relative to there size. Why are you so blind to the idea that we are shrinking? Prove me wrong. Prove not theorize because you can’t. Except it as a possibility reason.

Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics - that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look.
This problem, known as the Hubble Tension, has the potential to alter or even upend cosmology altogether. In 2019, measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the puzzle was real; in 2023, even more precise measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cemented the discrepancy.
Now, a triple-check by both telescopes working together appears to have put the possibility of any measurement error to bed for good. The study, published February 6 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that there may be something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe.
Doesn't that just mean we're not at the centre of it? 😂
And a new study, unpublished yet, but discussed at an event, looks at the same data and shows that there may not actually be a Hubble Tension at all and it could all just be an acculutated mistake in how the data is being processed.
I had heard that many space related theories are essentially just speculation (very little evidentiary data) and we should not be surprised if a number of them prove to be wildly inaccurate.
I don't think that it should be very surprising that we seriously misunderstand the universe. Evolution formed our senses of perception and other capabilities to assist us in surviving, not to enable us to understand the universe. In other words, we are woefully ill equiped to understand the universe.
What I do find surprising is that we understand so much with the limited tools that are available to us. But then, on the other hand, our understanding may be a woefully strong form of anthropomorphism that has us way off in left field.
The recent observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have provided groundbreaking insights into the early universe, particularly regarding the formation and growth of supermassive black holes. One of the most significant findings was the identification of an active supermassive black hole in the galaxy GN-z11, which existed only 430 million years after the Big Bang, significantly altering our understanding of black hole formation in the nascent universe. The JWST’s highly sensitive infrared observations allowed astronomers to detect the accretion disk of the black hole, where gas and dust are being drawn in, and to measure the rate of accretion, a key indicator of the black hole’s growth and energy output  .
Additionally, Webb’s data revealed smaller, previously undetected black holes, some as small as 10 million solar masses, in galaxies that existed within the first billion years of the universe’s history. These “lightweight” black holes were previously too faint to be detected by other telescopes. This discovery is crucial because it suggests that such black holes were likely more common in the early universe than previously thought, and their detection opens new avenues for understanding the mechanisms of black hole formation during the universe’s formative years  .
In terms of methodology, Webb’s high-resolution infrared spectroscopy allowed for precise measurements of redshifts, enabling astronomers to pinpoint the exact time these black holes formed relative to the Big Bang. By studying the emission spectra from these distant objects, scientists can also analyze the physical conditions of their host galaxies, including star formation rates and gas accretion processes. This detailed data not only enhances our understanding of black hole physics but also informs broader cosmological models concerning the evolution of galaxies in the early universe.
I love when astrologers, scientists, and evolutionists claim to know how the universe works exactly and that anybody who claims a different theory than them is wrong; only for them to collect more data and information that completely shatters and upends what they previously thought(and sometimes prove past "theories" correct all along or at the very least make them seem more plausible).
It’s definitely a fact that there is no such thing as an evolutionist!
Batteries: I know Simon meant nickel-cadmium. 😉
I liked the sound of Cadium…..
I hoped somebody else would pick up on that... maybe if you mixed cadmium and radium you'd get "cadium"?
He doesn't write or research his material. He only reads it aloud from a script. That's how he makes a living - as a presenter of other people's material.

When I think about the future of batteries, there are some really exciting developments. Lithium-sulfur batteries could offer better energy efficiency and lower costs, especially since sulfur is much more abundant than cobalt. Sodium-ion batteries are also gaining attention because they’re cheaper and perform better in colder conditions. Plus, cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries are being developed to address environmental and ethical issues related to cobalt mining. Iron-air batteries might become important for long-term energy storage, offering a cheaper alternative, even though they charge more slowly. And then there are organic batteries, which have the potential for faster charging and lower material costs.
Your EV is now redundant, you're welcome 🇦🇺
Hoping these new scientific discoveries, and future ones, will now help humanity and the planet thrive. May these scientists be protected from corruption and manipulation and be safe and protected from harm and evil. Unity in working together for a sustainable future...
My understanding is that lithium is actually incredibly abundant and that there is so much we could never run out.
Extracting it is another matter.
Sadly, Afghanistan has a ton of lithium and other metals that science is interested in, so we can expect continued combat (at some level) so various countries can aquire it. Ugh.
I believe there are two main problems with lithium:
The first is that extracting it is cumbersome, and as stated in the video, causes some pretty massive negative repercussions for the environment. While we likely have more on Earth total, than we can use *currently*, most of it is inaccessible. This puts a huge limit on how much we can actually utilize in manufacturing.
Second, lithium is one of the least abundant elements overall, and more lithium can't be produced. There is currently no known process to manufacture lithium, so the amount we have is the *total* amount we will ever have. So while we might have more than enough for our needs at present, if we ever try to massively scale up our usage of the element, we could easily hit a permanent limit.
@@AeriFyrein Lithium is the 25th most abundant element on Earth, there is more than we could ever use.
But like I've said, it can be quite labor-intensive to extract. That is because it's usually in fairly low concentration.
But they are developing new techniques for extraction that are much better.
There are probably better battery chemistries coming up, but we are not gonna run out of lithium no matter how much we need.
Lithium is kind of like aluminum: it's incredibly plentiful, but it requires a lot of energy to refine.
That's why aluminum and lithium are both great candidates for recycling, and lithium that is extracted from dead batteries can be used again, nothing about it is depleted from use, it's a good as new.
I believe lithium will eventually go out favor for most uses except perhaps air travel and high performance applications. In those cases, high cost and the requirement for other expensive metals in the batteries like nickel, and cycle life downsides will remain worth it. But for just about everything else, cheaper tech like sodium ion will likely take over.
@@patreekotime4578 I totally agree, sourcing these minerals is a pain.
I heard someone has developed WATER-based batteries! How great would THAT be?

the big bang isnt a center-point detonationfor everything everywhere
, it just serves as a center point relative to us.
Exactly, they forget that the Universe is INFINITE! So why not an infinite number of Big Bangs over a infinite time and space.
@@sidewinder814u because the universe is not infinite eternal or cyclical. It had a finite start and is finite in size. our most proven knowledge the spacetime theorems tell us this. any multiverse fantasy is also bound be requiring a finite start thus God is required.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep ...who also can't exist without a proto-god to create him. Its the same chicken-and-egg riddle that theologians and philosophers have been debating since time immemorial.
@@theauspician How? You are redefining God to be subject to their own spacetime creation they already have mastery over. And at the very least must exist in dimensions superior to their creation if they do exist in time prior, all it takes is two dimensions of time a length and width to be uncreated.

It's detrimental to humanity, but the idea if AGI also makes me think of the primate that was taught self awareness and the concept of its own mortality. It developed a deep depression and eventually died.
Mankind is breaching on the laws of "God" (or whatever omnipotent source one might subscribe to).

Always tryna push the envelope until there’s no envelope left to push. 🤣
Excellent content, a cut above other channels. Keep up the good work, Sir.

I haven’t watched one of these in a while. Usually I’d be up on most of this stuff. It’s really cool to see a bunch of new stuff I didn’t know about! Awesome. What’s Thought 2 up to these days?…
We keep finding out we really know very little. So why are we as a species so arrogant about what we supposedly "know".
Jeez who have you been talking to lately about this? Find some new friends if they arrogantly talk about how much they know! And why quotes around know? That’s what the word is. It doesn’t mean anything else. It’s not a loose interpretation or something that’s not believable! Like oh of course a “god” did it!

One of the most profound quotes in movies came from none other than Men In Black 1.
“Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow”
Because it’s easier and comfortable, duh.
The analogy you used comparing the black hole to a little boy that looks like a grown man reminds me of the Robin Williams movie 'Jack'.
It's like a 'Jack' hole.
Sounds kinky
Bit odd not to mention that Lithium is near infinitely recyclable. It only needs to be mined to existing demand.
Otherwise, interesting video!
I always like the 'we came from a big bang' yeah cool, but were did the big bang come from 😂
According to the theory , it came from a singularity , but nobody actually knows for sure
It's like asking what lies outside Everything.
A better question would be why was there a big bang, or simply, why is there anything other than nothing? it seems pretty elaborate to be pointless.
I always like the "God made the universe" yeah cool, but where did God come from... 😄
The universe is cyclical. Time is an illusion. None of this is cuasally related to our lives though so, smoke a bowl and relax man. It's all good.
Time flowed faster in the past because there was less space
For an external obesever. From the frame of reference of the universe it just flowed ”normally”
Same amount of space, just not as stretched/expanded.
Now, your "Big Ring" expanding spherical wave front is what does happen after an explosion. However, an explosion only expanding in two dimensions is another thing altogether.
The Big Ring (and companion) sounds like another universe interacting with ours in the way that bubbles do.
Quite interesting given the recent theories that the fabric of space at a low enough level behaves like foam and water. Makes ya think!

Two big discoveries: scientist finds literally the largest thing in the sky. And we apparently never tried just using water for batteries.
The water thing is dumbed down.. a lot.
Saline solutions have ALWAYS been good electrical conductors.. you just run into the problem that is also really good at rusting damn near everything that conducts the electrical charge. The breakthrough was more along the lines of finding a way to make the rusting either not happen, or in a way that doesn't interrupt the flow of electricity.
Calcium does the same thing, it coats surfaces then prevents the flow of electricity.
The discovery was more about the materials/techniques that allow water to be used effectively.
@@SeraphRyanindeed. In fact the power source of the Nautilus in the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is said to be aluminum that produces electricity via the salt in the sea water. So it’s not like the idea hasn’t been out there a while.
@@RandomGreymanestill one of my best reads, even 40 yrs after reading it.
I have felt that the Big Bang never happened. The universe has always been there but, there are more than one universe, meaning that one universe pushes against another, compressing and releasing one against another, or, two or, three or more universes. Perhaps like bubbles, one pops intruding into the compressed space of the other. Older and younger universe spaces then combine and expand. This could perhaps explain some of the findings that were expressed here in the video.
Talking about the size of what is supposedly a singularity is always weird to me
Congrats for Vsauce on the wieght loss❤🎉 hes him😊
This is VERY cool. The batteries alone are worth their own video. Will definitely be checking more of these out! One thing though: You talk SO FAST. 😅 I had to put it on .75 speed!
Wow human clones sounds like a source that'll guarantee your body won't reject any transplantation
Lol
I've seen the movie. It doesn't end well.
Or give Simon the ability to create countless TH-cam channels
Watch the dystopian movie the island
Perhaps our error is in imagining one universe with 1 Big Bang, instead of a collage of universes (redefining multiverse theory somewhat) with a cluster of Smaller Bangs (more miniature creation events), thus leading to smaller actual "universes" (meaning that each of these superclusters ought to be reimagined as a mini-universe, with it's own creation event).
The REALITY is… We don’t know 💩
Nigel casually discovers epistemology
Science has discovered plenty. YOU don't know 💩
More like we know very little, but we ARE very little so it seems like we know quite a bit lol
@@CheesesteakfreakI believe what he means is: the more we discover, the more questions are produced as a result rather than the actual answers
@@pizzafriespasta3910 plenty of answers have been revealed. come on guys you are smarter than this.
Why does it seem like nature has failsafes for cloning
It isn't failsafes. It more has to do with how the earliest organisms reproduced that way, but as we got more complicated, we started doing it in other ways, which are not really compatible with cloning. Basically just billions of years of evolution moving us away from that, making it very hard to get it to work now.
A little googling told me the Big Ring is actually the end of a corkscrew of galaxies. It looks like a ring from here. Whether ring or spring, that is one fascinating structure.

I’ve been tracking battery patents and discoveries since the mid-90s and I just want to make sure our expectations are realistic here. Pretty much EVERY YEAR you could do a video on battery advancements like this. But due to significant physical limitations or politics, we are basically using the same Li-Ion battery cells as in 1995, just with a few tweaks and about 30% gain in efficiency. Yet every year the battery hype train ramps up.
Why do I bring this up? Because everyone is stuck in the paradigm of “my model 3 has 350 miles range but just wait for the next breakthrough!”… we have been waiting for the next BIG breakthrough for decades.
Just the opinion of an aging scientist that has seen other fields grow by leaps and bounds while batteries are stuck in this cycle.
Halo Ring?
Water and calcium batteries… ok cool they can charge often. Ok. But how long will they last. People aren’t going to refill their water batteries once an hour. Maybe some niche market for them but they aren’t going to touch lithium … which was heavily implied
2:42 you should have your youtube licensed revoked for being too lazy to run a side by side here lol
In the 1970's, I worked with batches of genetically identical mice. These were used to compare the effects of treatment dosages for cancer chemotherapy. How were the mice produced? A single egg cell was fertilized in a dish. After it started dividing, under a microscope a worker would physically separate the cells. Each of these was then implanted separately, and formed twins.
While the cells were still singular, they could be frozen quickly enough to avoid forming internal crystals. After a first batch of twins reached old age, it was possible to thaw out some of the saved cells and implant them in new host mothers. This produced younger twins. When using this method, there was no ill effect from ripping apart a single adult cell to remove and transfer genetic material while constructing a (hopefully) viable clone egg cell. The process created multiple generations of perfectly healthy, genetically identical "clones."
By using this method, we can make a perfect clone (younger twin) of an adult human, right now. Actually, we could do it a half century ago. To make it work, we simply need to do the planning, and reserve frozen copies of the original egg at the time of conception. Lots of "test tube" humans exist, and are perfectly healthy. If any of their parents had saved copies of their original egg cell, then any one of them could create a perfect genetic duplicate of themselves, as a child, using existing technology.
I love the short multi-story format
I do not understand the pearl clutching over cloning. Now, I'm one of those people who hates the idea of animal testing, but I don't see an issue with cloning specifically. They're going to test on animals either way, so I'm not sure what cloning has to do with that.
Same.
Like surely learning cloning would be useful, then we can clone organs instead of whole organisms.
I'd have no problem with having my organs cloned and replaced if the current ones are unhealthy.
For your EV battery issue, silicon dioxide batteries are still in the development stage as a "sand battery". Since its main component is sand, once perfected, the Earth will not be running out of sand during any near century.
