    I just watched your space talk with Richard Gotta.... It's 3 am... Couldn't turn it off.... I'm just a 53 yr old piano player, painter... But I absolutely love science....I guess because the arts, and sciences try to interpret the nature of the universe by looking inward, outward, into, around, and thru the mirror, trying to understand why the reflection staring back is scratching its head..... Embrace the question mark! I'm not sure we exist without it

      In order to go to a magnet school in Northern Virginia, I had to sit a number of different examinations, some of which I didn't think about before, like imagining folding a paper to get a cube and which would be the accurate representation of the faces on the cube. Of course a magnet has two poles, one positive, one negative. So if there's a magnet school for the brilliant, does that mean there's a magnet school for the slow, ADHD, unwanted minorities, poor and kids with behavior issues? One solution to busing if you can't do it for integration is to do it to make sure there aren't too many poor kids in one school.

    I love this guy! In sophomore year of high school J. Richard Gott got me really into physics with his book "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe". I'll never forget going around with my little cone shaped models made of paper from the diagrams his book trying to explain stuff. In fact, I remember at the end of the day a science teacher walking by who I hadn't had but everyone said was super smart. As he comes near me I asked him "Sir, I'm reading this book and I'm having trouble understanding Cosmic Strings." Without even stopping he said "You should be!" And he kept walking. Hahaha. All my friends and I were laughing so hard. Thanks J. Richard Gott. You are the man! One day I'm gonna get that book signed by him. One day.

      Sending people to a planet that is already in worse shape than Earth, harbors no life, has no tectonic activity, no magnetic field, and only a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide is not a solution. The problem we're talking about is Earth becoming more Mars-like. How then is relocating to Mars a solution to that problem?

      I don't say that we shouldn't invest in astronomy, space telescopes, and man-in-space, but we shouldn't go all in and send thousands of brilliant people to Mars. One, it will be extremely dangerous; two, they might do good work on Earth that they wouldn't on Mars. Of course the same is true with scientists and engineers working on weapons in the so-called defense industry.

    I'm >60yo and still in possession of my 8th grade report card with the hand-written message: "Jim is a lazy math student." I went on to earn a B.A. in Mathematics, graduating #1 in my class with a 4.00 GPA, and then earned both an M.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Teaching & Teacher Education, and finally landed a tenure-track job teaching math at my local community college... What went wrong in 8th grade? Jim was not a lazy math student; Jim was bored out of his skull in his pre-algebra class.

      I took pre-algebra in 7th grade, and for most of the first quarter in 8th grade, Algebra repeated what I already learned, so they let me hang out in the library. I guess I should have taken it in 7th grade, then not had a math class in 8th grade? Of course learning BASIC around that time with variables was kind of like Algebra.

    In the book "Gambit", written by Rex Stout, our hero, Nero Wolfe, starts to play a game of chess with a person who proclaims himself as a Master of Chess. Wolfe starts off with a completely unorthodox move, to which his opponent declares is, (and i paraphrase) "Irrational! All the best books say that this is the best opening!" Many chuckles were had when Mr. deGrasse-Tyson did this to a computer.

    Neil figured out that in chess you can play the game and you can play the player!

      @matthewmarshall5234 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, Neil figured out that at the time you could make unusual moves vs an AI opponent and cause the AI to react a certain way to your moves that might give you some kind of advantage. "Playing the game" and "playing the player" are exactly the same thing in chess, deception has always been the key he was just relating to the fact that a computer program doesn't understand that an opponent would be capable of "making a bad move" intentionally.

      It's funny that after an A.I. program loses, the programmers have to go in and tweak it. You'd think they would have figured out how to have it record games and learn where it made a mistake. That's assuming that chess is solved such that black can force a draw with perfect play.

      Do you mean it's more radiated at the surface because of no magnetosphere, or do you mean the planet itself gives off 50x Earth's radioactivity? If it's the former, I ~agree, if it's the latter, I'm very curious about the source of the radiation.

    I fail to understand why it's so hard for us to believe that there are advanced civilizations out there but to bend the laws of nature and the universe to close such distances within the lifetime of a creature just seems beyond reason to think that the amount of time and science involved in in development and research to achieve such accomplishments what happened in our lifetime. The human race has been around for what is perceived as a blipliterally the amount of time in which we have been sending communications out even at the speed of lightis still traveling working its way to the distance reaches of the galaxys out there or solar systems even that could possibly contain life. If there is a alien race so advanced as depossibly close that gap and reach us we are so far behind them that by their own laws they probably aren't even allowed to communicate with us because of the technological gap and difference in knowledge. We are an infant race those advanced enough to get to us should know better to let us develop on our own and to leave us be. Because honestly if they could close that kind of a distance there's no resources that we have here on this planet that they couldn't find elsewhere well beyond the time it took to get to us.

      We have a pretty decent ability to detect what is happing in the our galaxy. The idea that an intergalactic alien civilization has mastered some sort of wormhole technology is possible but that they can do that with no energy residue that we can detect doesn’t make any sense considering what we know about the theoretical science involved with that.

    • @zer0bankoe
      @zer0bankoe 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I don’t think so, because what woud we do if aliens from lets say a moon in our solar system with liquid water sends us a signal? We would immediately make a plan to send a signal back and maybe even come to them or they to us. It would be a new step for our and their understanding. The exchange of knowledge, our archeological history, our technology, our knowledge if the universe and physics and stuff etc. So yeah i think it would be the same for the Aliens if they would receive our signal. They would be curious and want to meet us.
