    I have a very curious 8-year old niece always full of questions I don't know the answers to. These videos helped me (in an entertaining way, I might add) to explain the world surrounding us. I just wanted to thank you both for enabling me to motivate her curiosity and helping her to fulfil her intellectual potential... Hopefully one day she will be the explainer.

    That’s why I’ll never skip a StarTalk-video even if it has the easiest title like “Why Stars Twinkle”. There is so much new insight and new angles of perspective baked into each one of them, that you cannot possibly foresee on which end your mind expands (even if you already know “why stars twinkle”).
    I LOVE IT!!

    Neil and Chuck are a breath of fresh air. Btw, the melody itself for English speakers as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” was written by Mozart (originally “Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman.”) However, the words put to it originated as a poem written by the English author Jane Taylor and was published in 1806 as “The Star.” Sometime later the poem was set to Mozart's melody. I teach guitar to kids and this is one of the first songs they learn, I always mention to them who the composer of the original melody is

    I think this really puts into perspective how empty the universe is. The photons that have traveled for over a billion years in a straight line never once were stopped by another object. Then take that idea and multiple it by all the stars you see in the sky. Despite this epic journey, the photon's journey was stopped by your marble-sized eyeball.

    • @chrism3784
      @chrism3784 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are right but even more perspective your eyes cannot make out anything a billion light years away. Furthest object in the universe you can see and make out is Andromedia Galaxy which is about 2.5 million light years, and even then it's very faint and hard to see. Something billions of light years away and you look towards it, only a few photons of that object may hit your eyeball a minute, if that. That's why we need really large optics like the Hubble to stare at it for hours, collect the small amount of photons hitting it and then draw a picture from it.

      Salesfarce says the platform can do just about anything, which is correct provided you hire consultants or force your developers to learn and work within their poorly-documented languages, APIs and workflows to custom-build your very expensive solution. What they sell is a multi-tenanted hodge-podge of evil technologies that will rob your business of it's identity, intellectual property and soul (oh let me not forget their ludicrous rate schedule that charges PER ROW OF DATA).
      This got me so worked up I actually un-subbed. It's aggravating enough to get sales pitches from educational channels, but they had to partner with one of the most dreaded and reviled products in IT.

      “It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”

      Yes, that figure sounds nearly exactly correct. If the sun was the size of a cueball, the nearest star would be 977 miles (1,572 KM) from Baltimore to Miami. A cue ball is approximately 2.17 inches (5.5cm) and is about 25 -30% smaller than an orange. Therefore Luxemburg to Moscow would be somewhere aroundmn1,600 miles (2,575 km) away.

      Eeee
      ...So it does not matter how much you zoom in, STILL planets, the sun and moon do not twinkle like stars.., so gravity even produce colors in the stars light.., i just don't think so.
      Jesus said:"Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
      prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons.." -Matthew 7 How
      did that "man" know that more than 2 thousand years AFTER HE DIED; ALL THAT
      WILL HAPPEN, There are so "Many" christian religions today, doing exactly
      what he said.
      "Remember the former things, those of long ago;
      I am God, and there is no other;
      I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the
      beginning" -Isaiah 46

    Scintillate, scintillate, diminutive light-emitting point source. The extent to which I ponder the nature of your existence! At great altitude over the surface of the Earth; similar, in appearance, to a carbon crystal suspended in the celestial firmament. Scintillate, scintillate, diminutive light-emitting point source. The extent to which I ponder the nature of your existence!
