    You can also get the shadow blister effect when you pinch your fingers together, and look really closely. When they are REEEEEALLY close together, you can see a shadow blister spawn, connecting them.

    • @adam-np4wo
      @adam-np4wo ปีที่แล้ว +49

      If you actually close one eye and bring your fingers right up to your open eye so your vision of them is unfocused when you do this, the effect becomes very pronounced. There's also an interesting inverse effect when you do this. After your fingers are already touching, you can still "see through" the point where they touch.

      These things are known on the Discworld ; that the Speed of Dark is faster than the Speed of Light. For is it not written that the darkness is always present before light is. Nearly as fast are lies - a lie can run around the world before the truth has gotten its boots on.

      @@supreetkumar7604 I think what people fail to realize is that dark is both racing ahead in front of light and catching up behind light light takes a space that dark once filled therefore I would say that dark is actually faster because once the dark rushes in past the light then we have light again if light were faster than dark then the entire back side of the night sky would be have a faint glow around it because of the fact that darkness is always being pushed back from all these stars and everything so that would mean that darkness has to rush in in front of and behind the light giving it a faster speed

      Sometimes you got to rethink old sayings such as "misery loves company". A way we know, is a person who is miserable likes to spread its misery to others to make the others miserable.
      Another example of misery loves company is a miserable person just badly NEEDS somebody to cheer him/her up ( which will extinguish or neutralize the misery).
      So of course darkness is waiting for light because Darkness has nothing and has/is always alone until 🌞LIGHT 💡🕯 comes about and changes all that by providing company and neutralizing loneliness✌

    • @thomasboys7216
      @thomasboys7216 7 ปีที่แล้ว +76

      Depends how many people take a dump in it.
      A quasar is an area of electromagnetic energy that forms around a supermassive black hole, like the one at the centre of our galaxy. It has a mass of 8.2×10^36 kg or roughly 4 million times the mass of our sun, so in order for the mall toilet to have a quasar around it, it needs to become a supermassive black hole.
      Now, according to wikipedia, an average human produces 128g of shit per day or approx 47kg over the course of a year. Current population of the earth is 7.4 billion people, so we're looking at 348 billion kgs of shit each year.
      In other words, if the entire population of the Earth used that one toilet for 23,560,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, it could potentially form a quasar. For scale, 4.6 billion years looks like this: 4,600,000,000.
      It'd probably result in a few blockages as well.

    I'd like to add something: though it is good to not be too confident in your findings, overly submitting to questioning, makes you question yourself to the point of ignorance. People end up submitting then, to any authority that appears more knowledgeable. Instead of searching for themselves. Do not be overly confident, but the manner in which you grow confidence in both yourself and others, is the doubt of both yourself and others. Challenge yourself. Challenge the others. We are one.

    When I was a boy (1950's) there was a book in my school library, a fiction story of a boy who received a "flashdark" for Christmas ... he could aim it at an object or scene, then press the "on" button and the object or scene would go dark ...it was a pretty interesting invention ....and it made you think. Why not? Later on my mom gave me a solar-powered flashlight. That was pretty intriguing as well ....

      Wrong. When you close your eyes for 10 seconds, you're completely aware of your surroundings, even more, your other senses apart from your sight get progressively more sensitive, which is exactly the reason why it's sometimes hard to fall asleep when you close your eyes and try not to think about anything until you fall asleep, because you progressively start getting alerted from every tiny sound your ears are capable to register, and every tiny feeling of something nearly weightless to nearly absolute zero, touching your face and tickling you, like a single hair string. *BUT* ! when you sleep, your eyes go through REM during sleep (rapid eye movement).

      I'm quite sure that this man has probably written the script if he had been using one at all. If nothing else, he reads a lot and does a lot of research. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some of them are just from his head, no research because he already knows the topic well. And I've seen episodes of him alone filming, even filmed by himself in a hotel room for one episode. I'm fairly confident that he does all of, if not most of his own stuff. Maybe he has help with Mindfield, but I'm pretty sure that he doesn't get help, if nothing else, his special guests he brings on

      +BollocksUtwat somebody has a word of the day calendar. What a fancy way of saying he uses easily conceivable examples to illustrate his topic. The irony of this statement is that you are using what appears to be an impressive vocabulary (usually a testament to intelligence) to describe how you like something because they make it dumb enough for you to understand....

      jtv9033 If that's your take on what he does then I'm afraid you've greatly misread it, in my opinion.
      He's not dumbing anything down, he's just exploring ideas in a broad way wherever they take him. Its the product of a curious mind. Its supposed to be a survey of possibilities and more importantly tying them together in ways many people wouldn't automatically consider. If you want to call that dumb then be my guest, but I think you're wrong.
      However it seems what you've done here is attempted to fashion a retort that identifies an irony in what I've said, but really its just you trying to find an excuse to attack my use of language, and why? I can't figure it out except that for some reason people are very uncomfortable with language, constantly trying to attack people with vocabulary as if they're pretentious.
      I find that all very odd in a channel dedicated to exploring ideas and not being bashful about it. Whats more this was a completely positive comment on my part and yet people still want to attack it.
      Thesaurus. Word a day calendar. You ever think some people don't need either regularly if they just use diverse language regularly? The only thing I risk is being understood better and then ridiculed for it for some reason.

      @@autisticgoat1553 quiet is not really an absence of sound, it's an absence of matter that could carry sound :)
      since sound is technically a compressing and stretching of matter that carries through that matter, you can say there is "no sound" when nothing causes these sound waves. but if you had a device detecting sound there, like an ear, and it was perfect, it wouldn't be totally quiet. because there are still particles around that are moving and can bump into your ear and cause your membrane to vibrate. so you could say even without sound there is no quiet as long as the medium is still there.
      I'm sure it's possible to find some philosophical implications in this.

    I've always felt like sunrise starts WAY before the weather apps and such say that it does over here (Netherlands) during summer. Now I know that I'm not crazy, and that it isn't simply light pollution either.
    There's simply only a few hours of astronomical twilight, which is already not truly dark, even less when there's a large moon out, and then we are already into nautical and civil twilight again.

    • @lordgarion514
      @lordgarion514 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Sunrise is when the *Sun's* light is just getting to you.
      If you have a little light pollution, and a little Moon light at the same time, it's going to get lighter much sooner.
      But that's NOT all sunlight, so it's not sunrise.

      I feel you. It's all about perception, you know what I'm sayin'? Just because the weather apps say it's sunrise don't mean it's not already been sunrise in your mind. Don't let nobody tell you what's real, just go with what feels right to you. As for the light pollution and large moon, that's just the universe messin' with us. Ain't nothin' we can do about it except roll with the punches.

      A common confusion is ‘first light’ compared with sunrise. First light, depending upon your latitude can be hours before sunrise.
