The OSIRIS-REx information is incorrect. It fails to mention the Japanese Hayabusa missions, which have already returned specimens from the asteroids Itokawa and Ryugu. Also, the OSIRIS-REx mission will return specimens to the Earth on Sept 24, 2023 (This year, not "in three years"). By the way, I am one of the scientists on the sample analysis team for O-REx.
Quite the slip-up! I'd heard of the Hayabusa missions in passing and thought that was what he was going to talk about. Perhaps some day he can do a whole video on asteroid sampling/collection and it's rare-earth-metal-mining filled future. Simon's professional writers read the comments sometimes so we can but hope.
@@korstmahler There is a Simon-video on I think OSIRIS-REx already, or possibly another very similar mission. Or maybe it touched on several such missions. At any rate it was within the last couple of months so should be easy enough to find.. probably Megaprojects
I remember having a conversation with my grandfather about his dad and what he had seen through his life. He went from never having electricity, motor cars, flight, or telephones through to the atomic bomb and man landing on the moon. We pondered what I would see in my lifetime he surmised, 40 years ago, that I may see the end of fossil fuels and man landing on Mars. So far I've gone from seeing computers the moon landing on tv, the internet, mobile phones, lets not forget the James Webb Telescope, The ISS and advanced AI. I'm sure that the best is yet to come but up until now it has been a pretty spectacular ride. 🎉
I remember my dad telling me how his house was one of the first to get a telephone and they got one of the first cars in town too. People were fascinated by it. I also remember my nan telling me about my dad's birth - he was born in 1946, 6 months premature, and the doctor gave him up for dead. My paternal great grandmothers were having none of it so they put him in a box and into the oven part of the range, essentially turning it into an incubator. Thanks to their ingenuity, my dad is healthy as a horse in his late 70s!
Yeah I've heard that. It's because they're so hard to find actual bones for and they're only. I think two skeletons that are known of one of which was destroyed during world war II when it was bombed.
Notable mention to some of the Messanger RNA interference drugs that have been developed and approved over the last 10 years. Particularly the breakthrough of some gene silencing therapeutics that have managed to drastically change the lives of entire families suffering from fatal genetic disease. Special shout-out to Alnylam Pharmaceuticals for their work on the FDA approved, Onpattro.
When I was a child in the 1940's my father had an astronomy book (which, of course I read). In it they were discussing how long it would take to reach the moon from earth using the fastest means of travel at the time - a train traveling at 40 mph. If I remember correctly that book was written around 1910, more or less.
I recall a declaration of a physicist from the 30s claiming space travel by rocket was impossible, as there was nothing in space for the rocket to push against. Apparently, the concept of action/reaction was beyond him.
@@barrybarlowe5640 there are flat earthers (known as flerfs, for "flat erf") who claim that rockets can't work because of that very thing. I've heard a couple of young earthers (yercs) say that, too.

well.... most people go to sleep and dream several hours a night, so it's not so inconceivable that being a brain in a box would be like that. You'd (probably) just dream more, and never realize you're trapped within dreams, and sleep off the rest of the time, without any stimulation.

Pretty good vaccine bud, everyone that took it still got covid no less severe than anyone that didn't get the vaccine & they still transmitted it. Let's make it an hour episode with the real facts

As for the age of man in North America when I was studying Archaeology back in the 1980's there was a proposal by an archaeologist (forget name) that the people coming across the land bridge actually met people already living in North America. He had two main reason one being the cultural change of the people coming across was significant like they encountered another culture. and another was even then dates coming from South America were getting older and older that would have made it difficult for a migratory people to get there that quickly. There were three known land bridges opened by ice ages and this means people came across on the second and third land bridge.
There was some recent DNA work done on a tribe in the Amazon (I watched the doc on science channel iirc.) It was a trip to learn they were originally some form of Polynesian. An elder woman spoke of oral tradition which said they came from the east on boats. Pretty crazy how much we don't know about ourselves.
Speaking on my area of Geological expertise, it’s far more likely that the majority of the mammoth population was wiped out during the end of the Pleistocene by massive natural disasters. Whether you subscribe to the impact theories or not (I personally feel there is just too much peer reviewed data to discount them as conspiracy theorists hunting Atlantis. I must apologise for my previous conduct on the matter), meltwater pulse 1-b would have caused massive deluges across the surface of continents as glacial dams melted and burst. Based on, what I must say is an outdated best idea, critical desalination is likely to have caused the stability of our climate after violently reacting to Gulf Stream dilutions. I say it’s outdated, because an air bursting meteoroid or the peppering of the Laurentide ice sheet by comet fragments actually has more geological evidence going for it as a causal effect than simply critical desalination alone. It’s more logical to assume that CD is a result of the impact, rather than just a happenstance. The Younger Dryas Boundary Layer has fascinated me since 2018 in my undergrad days. I have spent the majority of my time studying this topic, and it’s similarities the the KP boundary, are too much to ignore. We did hunt mammoth, is my point. I think we are just, as humans are wont to do, overestimating ourselves, and underestimating nature.

Fun Fact In the early 1500s the Spanish came across an Aztec tribe that claimed their ancestors were giants. They had massive femurs from these giants that were as long as the Spaniards were tall. These were prized artifacts theyve had for a thousand years. Neither the Aztecs or Spanish knew that these bones belong to mammoths, not giant humans.
And my aunt and three of my friends. All of them decided to do that as a prevention and died within 1-6 weeks after the shot. Disgusting how that wasn't mentioned - instant unfollow from me.
Correction: (5:48 the half life of carbon 14 is 5,730 years) and can be used to date carbon bearing objects as old as ~60,000 years (with enrichment sometimes possible to get back to 80,000-100,000 years but the margin of error gets large). Other environmental factors can also impact how far back you can date an object.
Still gonna need a lot more breakthroughs to plausibly live anywhere other than Earth though but it's discoveries like these that give me hope that we might just get there.

simon whistler was replaced by an AI generated - integrated learning model avatar about 14months ago now, to keep up with the demands of the poo toob channel conglomerate. nobody seems to notice or care.
This is such a great video. In all of our daily trouble, we seem to somehow look at the past for the great achievements and miss the amazing discoveries that scientists are achieving in our time.
The half life of carbon-14 is approx 6000 years, not 60,000 years. It's just the amount of carbon-14 left after ten half-lives is too little to be detected, so after 10 half lives (60,000years) carbon dating is not possible. Minor pedantic correction, but great video as always :)
The wildest thing about watching this video right now? Osiris-Rex has already landed the return capsule and we've seen just how massive the debris sample is! I've been giddy for days because of how awesomely successful this sample mission has been!
That immunotherapy seems to be working for my neighbor. It looks like he's got a big chance of beating mesothelioma. Before he went in, he looked like shit and could barely walk down his driveway. Several months later and he's looking healthy and hasn't been needing hid walking stick.
The Lawrence Livermore Lab’s fusion breakthrough was beyond amazing and hopefully the cornerstone rapid advancement! (Certainly more interesting than mammoths)
The atomic bomb mascarading in an energy research lab that created enough energy to boil a kettle of water out of a multi-billion dollars facility while consuming enough energy to power a small town?
I agree, that should have been on this list. There were discoveries here pretending to be breakthroughs in tech progression instead. A list of discoveries and a list of breakthroughs - Simon could have squeezed two videos out of this!
Simon failed to connect a couple of dots here. One of the most interesting new avenues for immunotherapy is to use mRNA vaccines to target the specific cancer cells in a patient. It’s possible that the COVID-19 vaccines could one day help cure cancer.
Yes advancements in technology are great but Covid vaccines are having troubling consequences for people who took it. And that’s the part of technology we can’t predict and it shouldn’t be rushed.
"The Osiris Rex - real name, not a space dinosaur." But...but...Space Dinosaur is so much cooler! Definitely a cryptid episode for Decoding the Unknown. Make it happen Simon!
For the first one about True North and neuromorphic computing, I looked it up to learn a bit more and it then led me down a road about Fungus and computing and the benefits of using Fungus and computing. Does this really have anything to do with this subject or am I way off here? Sorry for my English, I am not very good at it but im trying my basta. Svenska is my first language so it's a hole new bag of confusing lol. Simon always has the besta videos! So many channels too, I wonder where he finds time to do them all lol. I sure could not lol he's so talented.
Osiris Rex used something much cooler than a scoop it used a space vacuum. The sample container was placed over the surface. It had holes at the top behind a fine particle filter. A gas was then injected and much like a pressurized cabin with a leak the gas escaped rapidly through the holes in the top of the container bringing along well over 1 kg of samples through the venturi effect. They had hoped for dozens to hundreds of grams hoping for at least a gram or two. So the kg or so clogged up the lid a little but they got it closed and it's on the way back home to slam into the Nevada desert without a parachute. Much like the Perseverance samples eventually will, to hopefully confirm ancient microbial life on the red planet, while the asteroids tell us how the stuff of life got here. They've already found amino acids and other complex organic chemistry, the lego blocks of life.
@@ruslancelins1851 Me? I don't really watch TV or movies mostly just YT so you end up consuming a lot of content. Doesn't seem like that much and some produce a lot more content than others. I recently removed a bunch I wasn't watching anymore so mostly it is stuff I would watch almost every video, though not NSF anymore, I don't watch every bolt getting attached to that rocket anymore, haven't seen a SpaceX launch in months either. Used to be a big space fan but now I mostly occupy myself with 100 year old steamships. If you wanna check some out, I recommend Oceanliner Designs and Mentour Pilot. The content being relatively obvious from the name. Drachinifel if you like boats that shoot at each other and dry British wit. I'm not smart I just spend a lot of time on my couch watching YT... I'm sure if you add up the hours people watch TV that would be a comparable amount.
"...the loud voices of people who can't tell the difference between 8chan and a peer reviewed research journal..." HAHAHA man, have you got that right.
1. I don't get it how microchips can have "neurons", that is a biological term. 2. Cool stuff 3. I'm not that into Einstein's theories, but it is incredible how precise he predicted stuff in a theoretical manner, true genius living once in a lifetime 4. I often think about how living with other humanoid-species would be like, I guess there would be extreme racism between the groups 5. Linking the telescopes together sounds ingenious! 6. Cool excavation, but I thought the idea that we (and the other humanoids) exterminating the mammoths was common sense for a long time now 7. Ok, interesting 8. Yes, the vaccine was a great work! 9. Wow! 10. Have not heard of that breakthrough, that's great news for humanity! Some music? th-cam.com/video/UjwP1j0Uqkk/w-d-xo.html
1. a microchip can simulate a neuron; it would be a virtual neuron. Everything biological can be simulated this way. 3. There are a lot of things Einstein was wrong about. He was a genius, but real genius includes making a lot of mistakes. And he slept around a lot on his wife. You don't have to be "into" his theories, just read about his life, and come back to earth a bit. 4. Chimps and gorillas are pretty "humanoid" already. You don't have to imagine the situation, really. Our ancestors shared quite a bit of time and space with Neanderthals; obviously they're not around anymore. Replace the term "extreme racism" with "genocide", and that pretty much sums it up.
Interesting coincidence I just watch this video today, and a few hours ago my Google feed had an article stating the Osiris Rex, as well as it’s meteorite payload, has landed this morning, surviving it’s trip. Now we get to see what can be learned from this extraordinary mission
I love interesting science compilations! These stories aren't nearly as detailed as the ones that Anton Petrov does, nor are they new info to me, but they're still pretty good. Thanks, Simon. I enjoyed it! ❤️❤️ (Edited for clarification)
Chapter Seven: and think, men like Jacques Cinq-Mars and Graham Hancock don’t seem so crazy nowadays do they? They both proffered that Clovis Culture was NOT the first North Americans……
Maybe I inhabit different quarters of academia but the timing of human migration into the Americas has been controversial for decades. While US researchers seem to insist on a post-LGM immigration this has never seemed plausible to me and relies on selective exclusion of a significant amount of good evidence, in particular, the Pedra Furada site. The Clovis-first hypothesis relies on human occupation extending from northwest Canada to Tierra Del Fuego in a matter of centuries - a completely unrealistic timeline for significant populations moving through alien terrain and entirely novel ecosystems. At the same time human habitation in Australia is at least 65,000 years old. If humans can get across the Wallace line - the crossing from Siberia to Alaska should present no difficulty.
Chapter 4 - halflife of Carbon 14 is not 60000 years. It is 5730 years. What you meant is that after 60000 years, the amount of carbon 14 is hard to track becaus it has been over 12 halflves.
When we have such a great variety of skulls that are all Dogs, and we've got nearly as great a variety of skulls labeled House Cats, the idea that a difference in the shape of a skull is evidence of a different species is already proved false.
I hope the immunotherapy works for the young. I am too old already to care about, I will do my damnedest to get a heart attack before any type of cancer. It's faster and noone gets out of here alive anyway,
That last bit, about immunotherapy, saved my mother-in-law's life, she had lung cancer and using immunotherapy - it's gone.

For me the real deal breaker with Kepler is the commute.
Riiiiiiight. Native americans couldnt kill off buffalo but ancient hominids xenocided mammoths...😂😂😂
The half life of carbon-14 is approx 6000 years, not 60,000 years. It's just the amount of carbon-14 left after ten half-lives is too little to be detected, so after 10 half lives (60,000years) carbon dating is not possible.
Minor pedantic correction, but great video as always :)
The wildest thing about watching this video right now? Osiris-Rex has already landed the return capsule and we've seen just how massive the debris sample is! I've been giddy for days because of how awesomely successful this sample mission has been!

Glad it wasn't just me who caught the shilling and ignoring of the lack of long term test data
That immunotherapy seems to be working for my neighbor. It looks like he's got a big chance of beating mesothelioma. Before he went in, he looked like shit and could barely walk down his driveway. Several months later and he's looking healthy and hasn't been needing hid walking stick.
I swear I remember learning over a decade ago that there have been human remains found in South America that are dated over 40k years old?
Pretty sure True North is exactly how Skynet got started
Your videos are so much better with time stamps 😎
A lot of people lost their careers for suggesting human habitation went further back than the Clovis hypothesis.
"Slurry of micro-plastics and regret", haha gold
The Lawrence Livermore Lab’s fusion breakthrough was beyond amazing and hopefully the cornerstone rapid advancement! (Certainly more interesting than mammoths)
The one when they realized fusion works? The same fusion in nuclear bombs? Yep, I coulda told you that decades ago.
@@mmaxx6786 the one where their created reaction produced *more* energy than required to create said reaction 😒
The atomic bomb mascarading in an energy research lab that created enough energy to boil a kettle of water out of a multi-billion dollars facility while consuming enough energy to power a small town?
you can't eat a fusion lab but if we can resurrect mammoths.....
I agree, that should have been on this list. There were discoveries here pretending to be breakthroughs in tech progression instead.
A list of discoveries and a list of breakthroughs - Simon could have squeezed two videos out of this!
Interesting seeing a snapshot of the focus of science over the last ten years.
Hopefully that immunotherapy strategy can be developed.
I believe they are trying to use it with cancer.
Hopefully life saving technology will reach the masses soon 😊
@@prapanthebachelorette6803 Hopefully :)
Simon failed to connect a couple of dots here. One of the most interesting new avenues for immunotherapy is to use mRNA vaccines to target the specific cancer cells in a patient. It’s possible that the COVID-19 vaccines could one day help cure cancer.
@@DneilB007 I imagine that everything can't be covered in these short videos.
It would be great if that is effective against cancer.
You slipped in the mRNA snippet quicker than the manufacturerers were granted liability immunity
I’m surprised this comment hasn’t been deleted. I guess that makes me a c0nSp1WacY f30WiSt.
We killed all the mammoths? Doubt it.
12:37 - Bennu is almost as old as our solar system: 4.5 billion years, and not as stated 4.5 million years!
Awesome video Simon. Just a thought but I find it highly unlikely that our ancestors wiped out the mammoth 🦣.
Agreed. Mammoths didn't only live in New Mexico.
It was likely a combination of things but we might have accelerated the process.
This was great!!
Whew! Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
That last one really give me some encouragement! Im getting my Tcell transplant on the 11th of may i really hope it works!
0:44 happy to say my mind jumped to the Winnipeg Jets before the Kardashians
The qualifier "probably", lol.
02:24 - 8.2 quadrillion miles? American here. How far is that in school buses?
Yes advancements in technology are great but Covid vaccines are having troubling consequences for people who took it. And that’s the part of technology we can’t predict and it shouldn’t be rushed.
This was really great, Simon and Co. Thank you 💙
Awesome video. Love some of the videos that come out on sideprojects even though it’s become more of a list channel than a “mini-megaprojects” channel
"The Osiris Rex - real name, not a space dinosaur." But...but...Space Dinosaur is so much cooler! Definitely a cryptid episode for Decoding the Unknown. Make it happen Simon!
Very fascinating.
Thank you for telling us which side you are on. Noted.
He's done it a few times, but this one was on the nose
For the first one about True North and neuromorphic computing, I looked it up to learn a bit more and it then led me down a road about Fungus and computing and the benefits of using Fungus and computing. Does this really have anything to do with this subject or am I way off here?
Sorry for my English, I am not very good at it but im trying my basta. Svenska is my first language so it's a hole new bag of confusing lol. Simon always has the besta videos! So many channels too, I wonder where he finds time to do them all lol. I sure could not lol he's so talented.
Half life of carbon-14 is closer to 5,700 years. Keith Richards DNA sample confirmed it.
Osiris Rex used something much cooler than a scoop it used a space vacuum. The sample container was placed over the surface. It had holes at the top behind a fine particle filter. A gas was then injected and much like a pressurized cabin with a leak the gas escaped rapidly through the holes in the top of the container bringing along well over 1 kg of samples through the venturi effect. They had hoped for dozens to hundreds of grams hoping for at least a gram or two. So the kg or so clogged up the lid a little but they got it closed and it's on the way back home to slam into the Nevada desert without a parachute. Much like the Perseverance samples eventually will, to hopefully confirm ancient microbial life on the red planet, while the asteroids tell us how the stuff of life got here. They've already found amino acids and other complex organic chemistry, the lego blocks of life.
What's the point in sampling the asteroid then having it crash to the earth anyway?
@@kaldogorath To get the sample back?? You know sample return mission.
@@221b-l3t Parachutes exist
@@ruslancelins1851 Me? I don't really watch TV or movies mostly just YT so you end up consuming a lot of content. Doesn't seem like that much and some produce a lot more content than others. I recently removed a bunch I wasn't watching anymore so mostly it is stuff I would watch almost every video, though not NSF anymore, I don't watch every bolt getting attached to that rocket anymore, haven't seen a SpaceX launch in months either. Used to be a big space fan but now I mostly occupy myself with 100 year old steamships.
If you wanna check some out, I recommend Oceanliner Designs and Mentour Pilot. The content being relatively obvious from the name. Drachinifel if you like boats that shoot at each other and dry British wit.
I'm not smart I just spend a lot of time on my couch watching YT... I'm sure if you add up the hours people watch TV that would be a comparable amount.
"...the loud voices of people who can't tell the difference between 8chan and a peer reviewed research journal..." HAHAHA man, have you got that right.

If our ancestors truly hunted mammoths to extinction, they must have been very, very delicious.
I am from the future, Skynet sends its regards and wishes you to continue doing what you are doing. Please, change nothing.
Genna has quite the wit. Some funny stuff along with some knowledge, cool.
I killed the last mammoth in a fight over a card game in 1867.
Sure you did. Over a card game. Why don't you admit it was because the Mammoth was on the wrong side of the civil war.
@@TheFredmac He was my father.
Tell me this episode was sponsored by phizer without telling me 😂
Great, now I'm kind of hungry for some mamoth steak.
What a time to be alive
1. I don't get it how microchips can have "neurons", that is a biological term.
2. Cool stuff
3. I'm not that into Einstein's theories, but it is incredible how precise he predicted stuff in a theoretical manner, true genius living once in a lifetime
4. I often think about how living with other humanoid-species would be like, I guess there would be extreme racism between the groups
5. Linking the telescopes together sounds ingenious!
6. Cool excavation, but I thought the idea that we (and the other humanoids) exterminating the mammoths was common sense for a long time now
7. Ok, interesting
8. Yes, the vaccine was a great work!
9. Wow!
10. Have not heard of that breakthrough, that's great news for humanity!
Some music? th-cam.com/video/UjwP1j0Uqkk/w-d-xo.html
1. a microchip can simulate a neuron; it would be a virtual neuron. Everything biological can be simulated this way. 3. There are a lot of things Einstein was wrong about. He was a genius, but real genius includes making a lot of mistakes. And he slept around a lot on his wife. You don't have to be "into" his theories, just read about his life, and come back to earth a bit. 4. Chimps and gorillas are pretty "humanoid" already. You don't have to imagine the situation, really. Our ancestors shared quite a bit of time and space with Neanderthals; obviously they're not around anymore. Replace the term "extreme racism" with "genocide", and that pretty much sums it up.
If humans managed to trap the mammoths repeatedly in the same place, they're way more stupid than elephants.
If you haven't heard it before, you should look up the sound that the gravitational waves made
Wait, what was that tool in the immunotherapy image..😢😂😮
The delivery of the asteroid samples is expected in 3 years. Still better than some couriers.
Interesting coincidence I just watch this video today, and a few hours ago my Google feed had an article stating the Osiris Rex, as well as it’s meteorite payload, has landed this morning, surviving it’s trip. Now we get to see what can be learned from this extraordinary mission
Do your scripts get edited by Facebook fact Checkers?
😂
I love interesting science compilations! These stories aren't nearly as detailed as the ones that Anton Petrov does, nor are they new info to me, but they're still pretty good.
Thanks, Simon. I enjoyed it!
❤️❤️
(Edited for clarification)
Omg IT Crowd was right ...... @ the brain box.
I expected a Dr Wier cameo. I feel like longi is one of my ancestors.
Why did humans kill all of the woolly mammoths but did not kill all the African and Asian elephants?
Working on it
Chapter Seven: and think, men like Jacques Cinq-Mars and Graham Hancock don’t seem so crazy nowadays do they? They both proffered that Clovis Culture was NOT the first North Americans……
Imagine being a brain in a box talking about building a brain in a box and not realizing you're a brain in a box.
Brain in a Box-ception.
Ask Johnson and Johnson how good theirs was
I think Simon is actually responsible for the mammoth extinction. That's why he has such a big brain.. Am I right Peter?
Maybe I inhabit different quarters of academia but the timing of human migration into the Americas has been controversial for decades.
While US researchers seem to insist on a post-LGM immigration this has never seemed plausible to me and relies on selective exclusion of a significant amount of good evidence, in particular, the Pedra Furada site.
The Clovis-first hypothesis relies on human occupation extending from northwest Canada to Tierra Del Fuego in a matter of centuries - a completely unrealistic timeline for significant populations moving through alien terrain and entirely novel ecosystems.
At the same time human habitation in Australia is at least 65,000 years old. If humans can get across the Wallace line - the crossing from Siberia to Alaska should present no difficulty.
Chapter 4 - halflife of Carbon 14 is not 60000 years. It is 5730 years. What you meant is that after 60000 years, the amount of carbon 14 is hard to track becaus it has been over 12 halflves.
Some of the phasing in/out graphics between segments were a little weirdly shaped. Otherwise great video.
Thx for the Video had a realy shity day, this Video made me remember that we are not so doomed after al
The covid vaccine didn't do anything to help save lives🤣
When we have such a great variety of skulls that are all Dogs, and we've got nearly as great a variety of skulls labeled House Cats, the idea that a difference in the shape of a skull is evidence of a different species is already proved false.
My brain is in a box already.
What is up with the sound on this video .. too much bass ..:(
Some peeps say computers and ai are superior to the human brain, but I wait till Ai runs on mashed potatoes to be impressed.
The harbin skull is nowhere near as big a discovery as homo naledi
100%, even if this turns out to be a Denisovan skull
@@davechan8613 I think it is, along with the Dali skull, and they should all be H. daliensis because it was named first😂
@@canaanval True. I just liked the thought of a Neanderthal cousin named after some guy named Denis lol
I hope the immunotherapy works for the young. I am too old already to care about, I will do my damnedest to get a heart attack before any type of cancer. It's faster and noone gets out of here alive anyway,
