    at 6:47 you go over how earth has the prefect amount of oxygen to sustain life. You make it seem as if any and all forms of life would require the 21% oxygen. I wonder tho if 21% oxygen is perfect because that's how all life evolved and adapted for? If oxygen was 30%/50%/70%, would the start of life have been able to form and thrive in that specific environment since they would've been built off that foundation?

      @OnTheShouldersofScience 6 дней назад

      @@sekzor7150 Yes, you are absolutely correct! There are a range of concentrations life could have adapted well to. It still likely couldn’t have been too high or too low to allow more complex life to form, however. The more important part is how the level of oxygen has been able to be stable for so long. This is also because some living organisms are actively creating oxygen at the same time it is being used up by oxidation and other organisms, so the level of O2 is in an equilibrium.

    Nobody is putting into consideration the earth isn’t just rotating in one spot. It’s also orbiting the sun while also rocketing through new parts of space. How is this same star seen for thousands, or really since the beginning of time to be in that same spot and never moved. We should be way to far to still see it too this day. And no it’s not new north stars. If you look up Polaris Timelapse it’s always the same stars and same pattern

    Ok? What kind of bs is this.. Even if this was true, it doesn't explain how it would still be north when we're 180 days into the year and we'd be on the "other side of the sun, billions of miles away from the current position", the earth is stationary, this video is weak. Funny how he didn't explain the rotation of the earth around the sun in his fantasy model world

    • @Combaticon
      @Combaticon Месяц назад

      That part is easy to explain. We have a thing called parallax, where the supposed position of objects closer to us changes compared to objects further away from us. An example of this would be looking at the World Trade Center from the top of the Empire State Building with just one eye and with your arm stretched out and your thumb pointing up parallel with One WTC. Then look at them again with just the other eye, your thumb would appear to jump while One WTC doesn't appear to move at all (even though both your thumb and the tower haven't moved at all). The diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun is only about 187 million miles and only gives us a maximum range of 100 parsecs (326 light-years - 1 light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles). In the case of the North Star/Polaris, it's so far away (like the One WTC example) that even through our telescopes it doesn't appear to shift position. That's why the North Star/Polaris can stay relatively in the same place despite the fact we are constantly going around the sun; it's just so far away.

    Great video. Polaris is pretty close to exactly North, but not exactly. It's not even the northernmost star. Its the northernmost bright star. Star trails with wide angle lenses, show it not moving. But telephoto lenses show a small circle, and telescopes show a large circle with many other dim stars inside that circle. If you want see or take a cool star trails photo (and bother the flat Earthers) go close to the equator. The star trails make two circles, or at lease opposite curves. You can't see the full circles. A video about that would be pretty cool..

    I love watching videos on beginner methods because there's so much variety, for high level stuff it's really just CFOP and roux and things don't really change but beginner methods are ALWAYS different. I like this one, the second layer stuff seems like it's sort of derived from F2L concepts distilled down to one sequence and then I think learning one algorithm for the last step is probably less frustrating for most people than that wacky thing you usually see where you go corner by corner with the whole cube looking ruined throughout and if you sequence break anything in between the four it'll just quietly stay broken.
