Yo I love you guys I really do! Thank you so very much to the both of you for taking your time just to talk about something different I can really fall into. I love the back and forth and the facts and jokes, just all of it. I watch as often as I can and you guys never let me down, thanks again
Hearing Neil talk about science calms me down so much. Being reminded "to keep looking up" always puts my little problems in perspective. It reminds me of the gravestone epitaph, "I was once like you. One day, you will be like me." We have but a blink of the cosmos eye to live and die, and it matters to none other than me.

Yet another excellent discussion of a very interesting topic Neil & Chuck! You have clarified a subject that I had always wondered about! Always look forward to your videos! Thanks for educating all of us Neil!
Chuck is the type of comedian you just look at and laugh, knowing he’s thinking about something funny all the time. Also like how he’s always funny with out making fun of someone or some thing. Chuck is one talented dude!
I love Mr Tyson's way of explaining things!!! He takes difficult concepts and breaks them down so that even children can follow him without ever making anyone feel less intelligent in any way. It is a true gift. I love him
I watch so many of these videos I believe I’m starting to sync up with you guys… just this week I was trying to google how high the atmosphere went and it left me wondering why it was such an even number! You guys never disappoint to deliver the most important facts I didn’t know I needed 😁❤️
Ngl Mr. Tyson is the person who's gettig me really interested in studying physics after a bad experience with it in high school. And you Chuck, you make things even more fun. It's just so good to make videos both entertaining AND instructional, just so nice
I love how Neil says, “I can think of ten other ways you might define it” when talking about the Carmen line. I’d sit here and listen to all of them. Super interesting.
I remember seeing an article where researchers found the atmosphere extending well pass the moon, we are talking about few molecules per meter of various gases that are still gravitational bound to Earth here.
If you want to be really precise the universe has an atmosphere. Outerspace is not totally absent of gas molecules. Neal has actually discussed this in a past video.
3:44 You CAN'T hold your breath if the airplane lost pressure at high attitude. The suddenly change in pressure is so much that the air will be forces out of your lung. That why you'll lose consciousness real fast with in 10-15 sec not 1 min.
Another important thing about measurements... What is the purpose of the measurement? If you want to see if the table fits in your room then a ruler will do :). Doesn't have to be more accurate or precise than it needs to be.
The concept of the edge of the universe is a truly fascinating notion that provokes deep questions about the nature of space and the passage of time. It encourages us to ponder what might lie beyond the limits of our current observations and understanding. What do you think could be present in that vast expanse beyond what we can see or measure? Are there realms or phenomena that remain completely unknown to us, waiting to be discovered?
If you could drive in an upward direction in your car, at 100km/hr which is the speed limits on most Canadian highways for example, it would take you only one hour to get into space from sea level.
@@cosmic_love_5 : "c" is the speed of light in the cosmos you love, the velocity that only requires one unit to quantify, the unit that is "free" of any arbitrary 'man made' standards.
I thought that that Karmen line was defined by the height where the (circular) orbital speed is equal to the speed of molecules due to their temperature. Does this accidentaly agree with the more sensible that definition Neil described in this video or are these two definitions of the border between outer space and the atmosphere due to some physical processes equal?
@0:56 or so: Interesting thing we did while I was framing houses; since the cuts have to be as exact as possible, but a tape measure uses 1/16th of an inch increments. So, what happens if you're between 4' 11 and 15/16" and 5' even? our solution: we split that 64th of an inch into 3rds. If the measurement was directly in the middle, we would say "4ft, and halway between15/16ths and 5ft" (simple enough, but exactly in the middle...that's rare). If it's less than halfway the two, it's "4ft, 11 and 15/16ths *weak*" .....if it was more than halfway, it was "*strong*". So, with increments of 1/16th of an inch, "strong and weak" allowed us to estimate down to 1/32th of an inch. That was our solution. wasn't perfect, obviously.
This is by far one of the best ideas ever to science and comedy aspect together but I only think it could work with certain people in these two knock it out the park for sure
Really interesting happenstance, the youtube channel Adam Savage's Tested just released a video today where Adam is also talking about measurement philosophy and how you cant truly measure something. Its a bit ... long, but gets a lot more detailed with explaining and walking you along to the understanding of it. Funny seeing both these videos on my subscription feed in the same day, lol.
4:30 Reminds me of a lyric from the song Lullaby by Tim Minchin - "One thing they don't mention in the parenting book: Your love for them grows the closer to dead they look..."
The Blackest Night falls from the skies The darkness grows as all light dies We crave you hearts and your demise By my black hand, the dead shall rise! Awesome shirt, Chuck!
Hey Mr.Tyson & Mr.nice just wanted to say i love your videos y'all are hilarious together. I have learned so much more than I thought i would from your videos. I've always loved science and learning about the universe
Where does the Earth’s spinning atmosphere stop, and the vacuum of space begin? At the Karman Line? Between the Exosphere and Thermosphere? Not all scientists agree that the exosphere is really a part of the atmosphere. Some scientists consider the thermosphere the uppermost part of Earth's atmosphere, and think that the exosphere is really just part of space. However, other scientists do consider the exosphere part of our planet's atmosphere. How is the atmosphere, which is a gas, and the Earth which is a solid, and the water, which is a liquid, all moving at the same speed as one body? And if the atmosphere is a gas, how is it different from other gases like wind from hurricanes or simple directional breezes? Inertia is the term that describes why we don’t sense the movement. But using the train or plane analogy, we must take into account the physical barrier, steel, aluminum, glass, etc...that prevents the resistance force to be felt. Roll down the window of your car and those forces will be felt. That leads to my question: at what point in the upper atmosphere does this invisible protective barrier exist? The exosphere or thermosphere or the Kármán line.
Neil, I get the overall point of this episode but in your first description of the Karman line you said it was the point where the sky was no longer blue but black. I was stationed at Beale AFB in the 70s and know from talking to SR71 pilots that at 85,000 feet the sky is black during the day and you can see an amazing amount of stars. 85,000 feet is well below the Karman line.
I love your show. Can you explain why the atmosphere doesn't get pulled out into space? I've been told that if two boxes were connected with a sliding door between them. One has 1 atmosphere of pressure and the other is a vacuum, when door is opened the air fills the vacuum to equal out the pressure.

I think a black hole is where a universe starts/end. Hence why light doesn't come out, (reflected) becuase its continues onward. Otherwise space is traveling faster than light. That only happens at the edge of our universe, therefore a balck hole could be a tear in space where matter/energy leaves and becuase we are a "higher pressure" universe, only pure energy makes it out. Just an idea I'm not fully committed to it.
A dude named Nassim Haramein has published papers based on concepts that sound very similar to your idea. He's got some weird conspiracy stuff out there, but his science stuff is quite interesting.
as for the plane analogy, and inertia, the plane is encapsulated, literally surrounded and shielded by real physical protective barriers, like aluminum and other materials. our planet has no such protective pysical barriers, as the scientific community seem to agree there’s no sudden transition from atmosphere to space. Rather, there’s a gradual thinning of the atmosphere across five layers, so the Karman line is not a pysical barrier, so we are back at the original unsolved mystery; how can the atmosphere rotate , unobserved and unfelt, while all other forms of gas and air move freely in all directions?
My friend and I were talking about outer space (I forget the context), but he was talking about going at light speed or something like that, I questioned what about bumping into something (meaning a planet or asteroid, etc.), and he said, "How? There's nothing out there." Which I'm guessing he meant once you get outside our Milky Way. Can you talk some about this or the vastness of space?
When I feel bored. I just come to see video. It's really funny, I laughed and removed all bored. It's really funny like Charlie Chaplin and mr bean. Great.
Excuse me Mr.tyson could you do a video about the colonization of planets like Mars or the moon I would love to hear what you think about mr. Musk and his visions
This is the same problem as trying to measure the length of a country's coastline. You'll get different numbers, depending on what lens you want to use, how finely you want to zoom in and measure the details of all the ins-and-outs.
I have an interesting question. Would you say that the sun is so big that the fact that we feel its heat means that we are geographically located inside of its circumference?
@@Chaicowski - Well, I'm more interested in our personal sun. It's funny to think about how, based on the content of this video, we may very well be "inside" the sun.🌞
The heat and light we experience from the Sun is due to it's emitted radiation. We here on Earth don't actually "feel" the actual Sun itself. The only actual part of the Sun that "touches" Earth are what's called "Solar Flares". Charged plasma that is ejected from the Sun in a somewhat steady stream. As an example, think of solar flairs as something similar to a flame thrower except its a plasma thrower. They hit Earth all the time but our planets magnetic field (shield) protects us. Lets hope it doesn't stop working. That wouldn't be a pleasant time for anything on this planet. So, no. We are not located inside of the Suns circumference. We are however located inside the Sun's domain which is called the heliosphere. However that part is surrounded by what is known as the Oort Cloud. So, as far as I understand the Oort Cloud is the furthest part of The Sun's reaches.

Your discussion is in line with #Adam Savage’s Tested video published yesterday. The title is 'Adam Savage's Epiphany on the Science of Measurement!' Great discussion regarding this topic.
I am a HUGE fan - No matter what standard of measurement you use. I just want to know how many takes of this did you have to do before you got one without Chuck at least hinting at something naughty with regard to how should we measure something. 😜 Seriously though - Excellent talk, as usual. Love things that make us question our answers.
If anyone at StarTalk sees this, please recommend to Neil that he he checks out Adam Savage's video on his Tested channel posted today. Because he delved into this same discussion (talking about accuracy of measuring). It was a pretty great perspective.

As every woodworker knows, everything measures either 3/8, 1/4 or 1/2 inch. So the universe has to be one of those three. 😉👍🏆

If anyone at StarTalk sees this, please recommend to Neil that he he checks out Adam Savage's video on his Tested channel posted today. Because he delved into this same discussion (talking about accuracy of measuring). It was a pretty great perspective.
