    University of Arizona Optical Sciences student here: on a tour of the mirror lab, they mentioned that to ship the giant Magellan mirrors to Chile, we mount the mirror in its special container to the outside hull of a ship. Then it sails to a city 8 hours away, like Joe said, from telescope location because a city closer doesn’t have a dock with the heavy lifting capabilities needed to remove the mirror. I just thought that was interesting!
    Gotta love the logistics of moving heavy science around!

      All telescopes will be displaced by our low cost [$5MM], compact
      telescope with a broad field magnification from 10X to continent
      resolution/discernability at 100 light year distance. Similar performance on the
      obverse side with table top sized microscopes where even the interior of
      the nucleus will be viewable. Path to atomic scale electronics
      manufacturing with real time defect removal for perfect outcomes each
      and every time.

  • @robinhodgkinson
    @robinhodgkinson 5 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    The adaptive optics blows my mind. Mini “pistons” spread across the backs of the mirrors distort the mirror shape to correct for the distortions of light caused by the atmosphere. That wobbly distortion, similar to that created by heat on a road, is corrected in real time! There would be a constant symphony of predictive correction going on. The mirrors would be essentially vibrating to create a sharper image...!!

    I went to the university of Arizona and took an astronomy class and the reason for why the mirrors are made underneath the football stadium is because the stadium runs on a different power grid than the rest of the city and the mirrors take a crazy amount of energy to make so they use the stadiums generator.

    It’s beautifully appropriate that when Joe thinks “Jupiter” his mind goes straight to Galileo and the Galilean moons. Even though (when editing) he probably thought “Crap, did I really do that?” This video makes me realize that the Lens was as transformative as the Wheel. And that Galileo’s influence on our view of the solar system... by showing us, that there IS one... has left an indelible mark in our psyche.

      Joe Scott since I have your attention for a sec, with regards to your video on Biocenterism, there is a way to experience the collapse of the wave form directly.
      I first did this around 10 years ago though a process I learned by a business called MJB Seminars. However they copied it from a guy in the USA - Dr John Demartini. He is actually a Texan an has his business based in Houston. If you ever have the chance, do his Breakthrough Experience program (which I also did)
      It's two days and on the first day he goes deep into the science of what you were talking about and at the end of the day you get to experience it yourself directly, not just as a concept. And you can challenge anything he says to test him, nothing is sacred.
      However once you experience it directly, you'll see how the macro and micro relate forever after. And he gives you everything to take home so you can repeat it. On the second day, it just goes into how you can use your new found wisdom in daily life, but the first day is the kicker. It costs around $1600 but after doing it I would have happily paid 10 times that.
      I'm glad you got into this, I thought you probably would at some point. For me 10 years on and after doing the process many times over, nothing confuses me any more - how the universe all works is just apparent and I keep waiting for the great scientists to get onto this (and Demartini is currently working with several to measure what he is doing and the effects so it can be published)

    It was not Einstein who hypothesized Black holes, it was Karl Schwarzchild. He used relativity equations to formulate the black hole physics. This is where we get the event horizon which has been named the Schwarzchild metric in honor of the originator. Einstein communicated with Schwarzchild and encouraged his efforts to formulate the physics.
