Galaxies Beyond Our Horizon - Cosmic Queries with Neil deGrasse Tyson

  • What happens to quarks during spaghettification? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer fan questions about positrons, how we got the speed of light, where the Big Bang took place, and more!
    How is the age of the universe quantifiable in Earth years? A patron asks about best practices when reaching out to physicists. Why are the origins of the universe still a mystery? Could our whole universe be inside a black hole?
    Could a photon from its frame of reference see galaxies beyond our horizon? What would it be like on a planet surrounded by black holes? Learn about the dispersion of matter during the Big Bang and what happened to the place where the Big Bang occurred. We discuss the power to reorganize atoms and how to determine a planet’s north and south poles using the Right-Hand Rule.
    What are some examples of energy becoming matter in our universe? Learn about positrons, thermonuclear fusion, and the moment energy became matter during the Big Bang. We break down how we got the speed of light and Ole Rømer’s observations of Jupiter’s moons.

    The Cajun Chef on PBS was Justin Wilson (April 24, 1914 to September 5, 2001). His cooking show was called “Louisiana Cookin’”. I absolutely Loved watching his cooking show… and I had never even tried Cajun food at that point. My all time favorite thing he would say was: “Tell you what I gonna did.”. As well as his all around catchphrase “I Gar-on-tee!”. Plus whenever he would put something alcoholic in the food - he would always take a drink right after: “A little for you, and a little for me.” I swear that sometimes by the end of the show he seemed like he was totally drunk. LOL!!!
    He was also a recording artist. He composed the music for his cooking show, and released one album of Christmas songs, and several comedy albums. He also appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. He also did a series of commercials for Ruffles Cajun Spice potato chips.

      @joebailey3133, I was thinking the same thing and looked at the comments. You were spot on with Justin. I originally watched him on LPB, and still find his videos today on youtube.
      However, the narrative Chuck and Neil were giving out holds true even though the name, and chef size of 300 lbs is inacurate for Justin, but close enough for Paul, both of which were phenominal cajun chefs in their own rights.
      They were both, in their day "larger than life"

    Professional chef here:
    The secret to any good restaurant dish is the follwing:
    Many years of training and experience, on the job and sometimes in culinary school;
    Many hours , possibly days, of trial and error, refining, and taking notes
    A lot of knowledge and tradition passed on through the generations
    (The famous Newton quote applies: "If I see further than others have before, it is only because i stand on the shoulders of giants.")
    Hours and hours of prep and hard work by the a collection of people; for example, the farmer who raised a cow, the butcher who processed the meat, and depending on the situation, day shift may have spent hours doing preparation before whoever cooks it for the customer gets their hands on it. Things might have to marinade for hours, or be partially pre-cooked, and even just things like portioning and measuring ahead of time can make a huge difference and is often done during the day before the resaturant opens / gets busy.
    And last but not least, perhaps the most important 'secret' to great food:
    Quality ingredients (and uusually lots and lots of butter)
    It's quite possible there's something I forgot to mention but the point is, it takes a team and a lot of intermediate steps and all of them are important :)

      Resolving contradiction through improved and revised understanding is the core of science as a process.
      That said, here's a little about wavelengths of light and how they act in collision with atmospheric molecules. Rayleigh scattering is the name for the specific effect primarily attributed with filtering the wavelengths longer than blue. There are also other named scattering condition-effects which create grey, red and other colors.
      The answer is not merely that "light scatters", but that wavelengths of light interact with our planet in a million subtle ways that alter how that light enters our eyes.

    I was actually comment number 89 which is Actinium (Ac), with the atomic number 89, is a silvery-colored radioactive metal. It belongs to the actinide group in the periodic table. Here are some key details about actinium:
    Symbol: Ac
    Atomic Number: 89
    Melting Point: 1050°C (1922°F, 1323 K)
    Boiling Point: 3200°C (5792°F, 3473 K)
    Density: 10 g/cm³
    Electron Configuration: [Rn] 6d¹ 7s²
    Appearance: Actinium is a soft, silvery-white metal.
    Biological Role: Actinium’s role in humans, animals, and plants is not well-defined.
    Natural Abundance: It is relatively rare in nature.
    Uses: Actinium is a source of alpha radiation and is used in scientific research and nuclear applications.
    The name “actinium” is derived from the Greek word “actinos,” meaning a ray, reflecting its radioactivity. It was first isolated in 1902 by Friedrich Oskar Giesel and is an essential element in the study of nuclear physics and radioactivity 1234. 🌟🔬

      I believe it is not in the interest of those who actually pull the strings behinds the scenes to have someone too smart as president. The president is just a puppet. The moment people realise that could be a tipping point of modern civilization.
