    When you're making a playlist of podcast episodes, don't put the newest episode first so the playlist goes through the podcast episodes in reverse order. Who watches or listens to anything in reverse order? Only mad men. We don't need mad men as listeners to the podcast.

      Having recent episodes first is convinient for long time listeners who have caught up till the last one.

      TH-cam just needs to create the ability to reorder a Playlist once you have added it to be one of your Playlists. That way it can remain as created by the owners, but can be changed once added. But yeah, this has been an annoyance of mine for a long time.

    I had a weird thought while listening to the podcast.
    Could the very first stars have been massive in the order of magnitude of a galaxy? And thus have left behind the supermassive black holes at the cores of galexies after burning out?
    I suppose if it were possible, somebody would have modeled it, And we probably would see remnants of their hyper-super-duper novae.
    But I find the concept intriguing.

  • @ausnetting

    “The gas cooled.” How? Where did the energy go? Gas cools through expansion only when it has a receding boundary to press against. Was it energy loss through radiation?

    • @shuriken4573
      @shuriken4573 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Depends on what you mean by radiation. The atoms, or molecules, of a free gas will tend to contract under gravity and all of that potential energy is converted into an increase in kinetic energy aka an increase in temperature. Then the most energetic of these atoms escape the gravitational well because they are given extra kinetic energy from collisions with other atoms leaving the gas much much colder.
