    Speaking of meteors. Having grown up and living most of my life in cities (Berlin, Buenos Aires, London), I had never seen many until I moved to a small village in the countryside. Even when there is no shower, it's really amazing how many off them come down and how different they can look.

    07:50 - Wait, that's not what I heard as I followed along with this. The 'lid' is a circular flap of kevlar, indeed jammed open with a sizable 'stone'. But they didn't manage to clear it, they just decided to *very* carefully get the sample container stowed *ASAP* so as to minimise the on-going loss of material. Thankfully nothing was sticking out to interfere with the placement of the sample container into the return container and they managed to close the lid and demonstrate it was well latched without further issues.

      What is Gyroscopic?
      gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gûros, "circle" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself.
      Free_will.
      This will be the longest Dr.BNSN3002, to date. Hopefully it will maintain some orientation.
      *What is the minimum mass -i.e., Space density to support carbon based life?
      That question will become important , even though it is a physics question, in the terms of weighing a thing.
      To my understanding there has been some experiments on board the ISS for the research of carbon .
      I am not sure how successful the experiments have been because I have not seen any experimental results from ISS.
      However, they are going much slower than Universal time. I might try putting the experiments in a centrifuge and rotating with and at the speed of the equator, for good luck.
      Hopefully this mirror-mage-of-things, of inside-out or reflection, up-side-down will start to make some sense.
      The case of the missing minute. All hands on deck, Spaceship Earth.
      Iff x is in lab y, then x and y are in the Same time.
      Is there a Universal Time? an experiment with clocks.
      If clock X is sitting on the lab counter 🤔.
      And clock y is also on the same counter except inside of a centrifuge.
      Both clocks on the same counter are set to 60 minutes and are started at the exact same time. The centrifuge AND its clock is one minute slower. When the still clock ticks 0: 00, the moving clock has yet 1:00 remaining.
      In the case of.. The Missing Minute with, I believe the spinning clock is Faster than Universal time thereby slowing down time.
      The centrifuge Is Spinning along the equator, in essence, seeking the future sooner, to accel a vaccination.
      Outside the laboratory you cannot 'spin life' , either inside out or upside down, what you get when you do is sickness in the body, a bad information strand, RNA has tautology.
      Also, according to the Bible, what occurs in seven years will occur in three and a half.
      The case of the missing minute...
      I guess the next thing I wonder Ken is... is the constant acceleration of Time (i.e. rate of Universal expansion), could that be the 'driving force' behind all photons issued at their place in the expanding timeline and what continues to 'propel' them due to this time-expansion? i.e. a photon issued by a galaxy in the early universe over the years would be 'pushed' by the continual time-acceleration the universe undergoes. I guess my point is,
      Heidegger rejects the comprehension of the subject as consciousness. He tries to explain this by going outside of being itself. The reason he does this is because he thinks there is a strain on the word human being. This load can be explained as follows; Until this time, the word human being has come to the present day with many meanings and definitions. For example: Aristotle defined human beings as rarional animals. Therefore, he does not call being a human being, he calls it dasein. He attempts to make an explanation of dasein using existential analytics.
      When trying to explain Dasein - what is there - that exists in what is - that exists among people - the human being asks what it is to be.
      Heidegger says we have forgotten that we exist. We actually know we exist, but day by day we lose the importance of our existence and from there on he elaborates...
      that the 'energy' in a photon depends on what it was at the time it was issued (or produced)... so if the rate-of-time increases, the 'energy' in the photon would ALSO BE EXPANDED. That seems important to me, and it might not be Photons are not acceleration and therefore do not need energy. Like everything else, they obey Newton's laws and continue in a straight line unless acted upon by an external "force" (energy). However, you make a good point about the moment they are emitted. Indeed the photon's energy is dependent upon the time rate at that moment in the location of emission. I cover this in my book and highlight the fact that higher frequency photons actually travel marginally slower than lower frequency photons. This is because, the slower you go, the more oscillations of the time wave you experience throughout your journey. Yes, if the time rate reduces through a gravitational field, or increases due to the cosmological constant, then this effects the frequency and therefore the energy of the photon. But remember, if your time rate changes, then within your frame of reference, nothing changes as far as you are concerned. The laws of nature are unaffected for you. The only affect is observation from another frame of reference that, say, did not change its time rate. That's why the past ran slower and was smaller than today, i.e. cosmic expansion.
      (y) So the 'expansion rate' doesn't propel the photons which have no inertia anyway, but can effect the photon's initial internal time-rate, reflected in the photon's spectral pattern shifting and thus showing the rate of time-shift from the time of the photon's original emission.
      Did you notice I asked whether different orientations of its rotation axis effects centrifugal time?
      If the axis is parallell to Earth rotational axis then it seems to me that small periodic variations
      in centrifugal time might exist... Could you perhaps clear up this matter? I think it may be important.
      But...ahem...please! Present your final result in ordinary English (Or Swedish.)
      That said a thought occurs to me:
      My experiment was modelled on the Twin Experiment
      and the question has been raised
      whether my "improvement" is only a "plagiarisation"
      or if my experiment has some Scientific Value on its own?
      I will say neither wouff nor baaah in the matter,
      only point out that to settle it
      the properties of my experiment needs to be examined.
      Beck'y annotations look like custom punch cards fed into a spinning platter.
      She seems to nearly explain the Higgs Boson starting at 13:46
      "Gravity is at least 10 times that you see in stars"
      Okay, also, Ice floats on water to Protect Existential Life. It provides insulation from Sunlight and the mixing water through maintaining a genuine thermal kline. Some of those properties are; Ice is 10% above water and 90% below water or unseen.
      Ice will melt under pressure as ice skaters know, when their skates are on edge the ice below melts and forms a thin layer of water making the skates slippery on ice.
      A Star's brightening or dimming- Is it possible that we see more, or less, of a star's image?
      On Earth, we tend to give off 90% or more gravity than light, as an Inverse reflection. So..How much can 'they' see of us?
      Space is a giant scale, a massive light detector, to weigh on the grand scale.
      Most likely we see very very little of what is truly there, being on edge, is it the Earth's tilt?
      Biblically we were asked to give a 10% tithe so that the storehouse would rermain full.
      I don't think the tithe is an isotropic Inscription type of tithe, because the church cannot be filled with money if it lacks light. If only 10 percent of our day was spent with God, then we would carry the light through out the day, enough to fill the storehouse.
      What iff we gave off Much Less light than 10 percent?
      The question remains; How much mass, -i.e. Space Density, will support carbon based life?
      At 17:50 the optical telescope is rotating equatorialy oppositely the Milkyway Azimuth plane . . ?
      It is either tracking the reflection of the daystars, -i.e. with the stars as they would be shone in the daytime hemisphere, or it is observing something outside our Milkyway. Can ground based optical telescopes 'See' such a distance?

      @Peter Mortensen Summarize 😒 Changing tones Non-harmonic tones dependent upon the first tone of an interval and left by a skip. A harmonic interval is when two tones of an interval are sounded simultaneously.
      Harmonic synthesis Contemporary harmonic writting is often a composite process, which may involve varying placement of the norm of disonance, choice of single harmonic idiom or the coalition of one with the another, fusion of tonalities, singleness of sound organization or the juxtaposition of tonal and atonal aspects.
      The study of harmony dealing with the variants of fundamental structure in harmony.
      If I were a clock, I woiuld wonder what my frequency were and iff modulation occured, from one key to another in Overtones, I would wonder why of the variants iff tonality and haromony consists of a minor second, an augmented second, and a minor second. The characteristic of the tone quality of an instrument is due entirely to the relationship among fundamentals and upper partials, which is supposed to remain unchanged regardless of the fundamental.

      Arbram came out of Ur. According to his account peace came through the thicket after faith. Spaghettification might be the drawing away of the foundational elements , perhaps like Uranus or Neptune, destabilizing, thus making a hotter solar mechanic leading to a Supergiant to Supernova.
      Prior to the foundations breaking up, the minerals and ores scattered were contained in a water firmament below the earth. The offgasses were a mix, when through the water, is a stable environment. But that final quality split a part leading to instabilities, Winds and Storms which have since increased.
      The human is represented in that earth likeness, of water and minerals stability or instability.

      Thank you Peter, for pointing out there are other open star clusters elsewhere in the sky. But I am pretty sure it was the Pleiades I was looking at. I see Cassiopeia and Perseus all summer long, but it is not until this time of year I get to see Orion in the early evening, and there he was lying with his back on the horizon with Taurus above him and the bright smear I was referring to over the shoulder of the bull. My cabin is fairly remote with almost no light pollution and it was the new moon on a clear night. Few people get to see the stars like we are lucky to, and on a night like that things pop out of the sky that you have never noticed before. I wasn't even stargazing at the time, just walking about before bed. The Pleiades were so bright that I had to go for binoculars to see that I wasn't looking at something else in the sky besides stars. But thanks for the tip.

    - Is its rate of rotation exceptionally slow?
    - Is its central black hole exceptionally massive?
    - Is the stellar distribution odd, beyond the 'S' shape indicating stripping?
    - What about its amount and distribution of neutral Hydrogen?

    Is the tidal stripping of NGC1052-DF4s dark matter a falsification of deep mond behavior at low acceleration scales then? I suppose that if galaxy dynamics in galaxies with basically only baryonic matter is consistent with keplerian rotation velocities, then that deviates from predictions based on MOND?

  • @will2see

    18:29 - In a galaxy, the highest density of DM (by many orders of magnitude) is in its center. On the outskirts, the density of DM is very very low (compared to the density at the center of the galaxy), but it is distributed in a much larger volume (~r^3), so its cumulative mass is high.

    • @will2see
      @will2see 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @xrm160xqw In terms of total (cumulative) mass yes, because of the huge volume, but in terms of density no. The highest concentration of DM (or density) is in the central ~500ly of the galactic core.

    • @will2see
      @will2see 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @xrm160xqw No, DM is not made by SMBH, quasars, etc. I mean, it could, but we have no reason to believe it actually is. And in addition to that, we know that DM needs to be cold - the average speed of the DM particles (whether we are talking about WIMPs or MACHOs) must be low, i.e. in the order of a few ~100km/s. Remember, DM is there from the beginning. It served and still serves as a scaffold for the ordinary - baryonic - matter to clump on it. If DM wasn't there from the beginning, the large scale structure of the Universe wouldn't look as it looks. So once again, no, DM isn't created in galactic centers. But at the beginning, it concentrated into clumps and filaments and the ordinary baryonic "grew" and "condensed" on it. Small galaxies were created around small clumps of DM and later on when galaxies collided and merged, they grew, and with them grew their DM halo. The central region of the DM halo is several orders of magnitude more concentrated than the outskirt of the DM halo, but since it is a relatively small volume the mass contribution is also small relative to the total mass of the entire DM halo.

    Speaking of galaxies and dark matter being in the outskirts and a galaxy actually being larger than it appears - I'd like to see some discussion on figuring out edges for some well-known galaxies. Understanding that a galaxy's edge is somewhat like Earth's atmosphere's edge in that a sharp delineation does not exist - what are some ways of defining various edges? 95% of stars in orbit around the center? 99%? 99.9%? Or maybe the literal gravitational edge where objects placed on one side would fall toward one galaxy, or on the other side, would fall toward a different galaxy? Or some other metric?

  • @Musketeer009
    @Musketeer009 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do we yet know which other galaxy DF4 tidally interacted with to strip its Dark Matter? Where did the lost Dark Matter go? Is it floating about in inter-galactic space, or did the other galaxy acquire it for itself? Would that have had any effect on the interacting galaxy such as slowing its rotation? Many questions here to be answered.

  • @jonathandavis7019

    3 questions: 1) Jupiter and Saturn being near to each other in the sky: is this usual or it’s the time of year or even decade or more? It’s a beautiful sight and I stare at it every night it’s clear.
    2) What would that jellyfish galaxy look like if we were a planet in one of its tendrils? As you have said, and I think Mike Merrifield also said, Andromeda would actually look HUGE in the sky if it weren’t so faint.
    3) Dark matter: also on that subject, how does dark matter behave with a black hole? Attracted like “normal” matter or...? You asked this in a 60 Symbols video a long time ago. I suppose until we can detect it directly it will be conjecture.

    • @DrBecky

      1) no it’s not common, in fact in December they will appear the closest together in the sky that they’ve got since the 1700s!
      2) probably really cool! Lots of stars all over the sky rather than in concentrated in a plane like the Milky Way
      3) I made a video ages ago on whether black holes grow by accreting dark matter - check it out! 👍

    So the dark matter was stripped away. Where did it go? Since it couldn't just disappear (curious: can something "dark" be determined to have *not* disappeared?) shouldn't it be near whatever other galaxy(ies) have stripped it away? And if we know what other galaxy(ies) stripped it away, wouldn't that (now additional) dark matter have a measurable effect on *those* galaxies?

    My question is about time travel, assuming it’s possible, you’d move in time and SPACE, so… if you went back 1 year say, wouldn’t you just appear in space? As the earth has moved in space, our solar system has moved in the galaxy and our galaxy has moved in local web. So you’d have to have an calculation/system to figure out from a fixed point the movement and speed of all objects/body’s in space and the effect of dark energy?

      No it changes how much matter in stars you think is there, because if it’s closer than it’s absolute brightness drops - I.e. instead of its faintness being explained by the fact it’s further away, instead it’s because it’s got less stars in it. And so the ratio of dark matter to matter in stars changes

    Interesting. From a non-astrophysical opinion (I'm a Chemist), it seems when we have tidal interactions, something happens to the SBHs. Because, at least it appears to me, that Globular Clusters, by and large, don't have apparent SBHs. Therefore active galaxies are different, thus we calculate DM as necessary to form the galaxy. This is just an observation from a lay-astronomer.
