This is similar for me explaining why insulation is important for both summer and winter months. Insulation doesn't make the house warmer, it prevents heat transference. That's why it is insulation because it is an insulator.
I feel that. I tried explaining to my parents why the condensation in their window was making the room a lot colder and they shrugged it off like it was a random fact that didn’t affect it.
Chuck has a heart of gold and I'm really glad he's a part of Startalk. I watch all your guys' stuff and a few other channels for the past 6 months or so and I've learned so much about physics. Thank you =]
That's beautiful, Chuck Nice...be a mitten, everyone. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
Except for that one time I was in the ER and they actually brought me a warm blanket which transmitted heat energy to my body and felt the highest levels of cozy.
Probably my favorite videos are when you take simple everyday thoughts or items and make us look at them in a whole different way. Even though I knew this, the whole tile and beer examples made me look at what I already knew in a different light and I love it. Not to mention the whole partner thing, I never thought about that before that two people couldn't be hot at the same time.
Thank you so much for explaining this. This has been a point of contention with my family who keeps asking if our thermos is the one made for hot things or the one made for keeping things cold. Now I have something to show that’s being explained by someone with credentials!
I read recently that women's metabolism is generally moving slower, compared to men. I'm not sure if that also means that men have a higher average body temp, but slower blood circulation (or heat circulation) in women is especially noticeable in the extremities, resulting in the eternally frozen toes and fingers.
This is dorky, but thank you guys for explaining this. I work for a Company that manufactures large back flows and fire valves and wondered how wrapping the valves in "blankets" helped protect them against freezing. I know it helps, but didn't know exactly why. Water going through a large valve doesn't sound very cuddly and warm. I get it now... so please everyone winterize your stuff just in case. 😊 Freezing water doesn't play.
when i saw the title i thought it would be about electric blanket, which is fantastic in winter, something everyone uses in Japan. but the talk was a delight to watch over breakfast.
A coat feels cold on the hanger but warm on your body because it doesn't generate heat; instead, it traps your body heat, insulating you from the cold air outside. We describe a blanket as warm for the same reason it’s not a source of heat but an insulator that keeps the warmth from escaping. This is why a "warm blanket" can actually keep something cold by preventing external heat from reaching it, much like a thermos maintains temperature by minimizing heat transfer. Mittens and blankets work similarly by reducing heat loss and retaining body warmth. Interestingly, two people can warm each other by sharing body heat, demonstrating the effectiveness of combined warmth. Why do some people seem to feel hotter or colder than others, and what factors influence our perception of temperature and insulation?
some of the sports ones are great, but even as a sports enthusiast, some of them are pretty terrible. But that's honestly only because they stray too far away from sports or the topic
Thank you Neil! You taught me to a point where I could answer this question by my own - but actually knowing to ask the question, I´m still trying to achieve.
Hello. I love your program. In my humble opinion, I think in this case, it is a problem of language. I'm Portuguese and here a warm blanket is just called a blanket. So, if there's not the word warm before blanket, there's no problem and the blanket is just an insulating tool. Thank you so much and love your work 🙏
This actually needed explanation as people don't know about it. I like to use this trick to prove my point in many arguments when often comes to "I know what I saw, smelled, felt or whatever" I find in a room something metal and something like a book and ask which is warmer? It proves nothing but I like to throw it into the argument.
It does prove something. that metal transfers heat faster than the book so if the metal is warmer than your body it will feel warmer than a book at the same temp, or if its colder than your body will feel colder than a book at the same temp. It is all about what it feels like not what the actual surface temp is.
I was admitted into the hospital earlier this month and after laying on my cold living room floor for the better part of 2 weeks the blanket that the EMT took out of the heated space in the back of the ambulance and covered me with felt divine.
I got some ponchos that are plastic on one side and silver colored Mylar on the other side. If you want to be warm, you use the Mylar inside and if you want to be cold, you wear it on the outside.
It doesn't work this way. It's like you'd have two-colored blanket and try to warm yourself by putting it red side towards you and cool yourself by cuddling with blue side towards you. It'll keep you warm both ways.
@@ogladaczjutjuba3745 It do work that way, because they are two different materials. The Mylar side absorbs most of the surrounding light along with most radiations, while the orange side repel the infrared radiation and absorb the other light emissions. Infrared is the light radiation that conducts heat. So, if the Mylar is on the outside, you'll fell cooler inside because most radiation is expelled while, if you reverse it and wear the orange outside, you'll fell warmer inside, because that color gets heated by infrared radiation.
I love how Chuck joked, talking about snuggling at the start in jest. Then ended up star eyed listening to Neil explain why Chuck's wife has "cold feet"
I agree that blankets themselves as he said, are not sources of warmth, but if the blanket or garment isn't made of a particular material then it won't radiate anything back to the wearer. For example, you are wearing thin socks with non-insolated boots & your feet are still cold. However, if you pit on heavier socks & wear a better insulated boot then your feet will be warmer. Same with blankets. If you have a really thin blanket & are still cold, then get a thicker blanket to help keep you warmer.
Once, as I woke up from general anesthesia, a nurse asked me if I was cold. I replied that I was. She then asked if a warm blanket would help. I really wanted to give her the right answer but, because of the recently mentioned anesthesia, I found that i couldn't figure out the right answer. She then pulled a blanket out of a dryer that had been tumbling a load of blankets, and put it over me. I instantly knew the answer. That type of blanket, recently pulled from a tumbling dryer, will always be my first thought in connection to the words 'warm blanket'
There's a proof that Dr Tyson takes things a little bit too literally. Whenever in my family we asked for a warm blanket it usually meant we throw it in the dryer for 10-20 minutes and then you have a warm blanket that is emitting heat that it retained. But also meant a heavy blanket such as a comforter versus that crochet thing that my grandma did. But whenever we said warm blanket we usually meant straight out the dryer
No, people say" put this blanket on to get warm". If you are already warm, to wouldn't want to put on a blanket unless you want "to get WARMER than you are now".
@@dnguyen9747 If you are already warm (inside the pickup truck with your gal) and you want to go lay in the truck bed with her, at the picnic, to watch the county fireworks, then you will take a blanket with you to KEEP you warm. Understand now?
@@dnguyen9747 Winter-time one might dive into a really cold sleeping bag - I'm talking below the freezing point -temperatures. Going there makes you temporary cold, but once you warm up the sleeping bag, you can sleep safely and comfortably. And once you exit the sleeping bag, you are temporarily cold. You need to put more clothes on and do some physical activity to get comfy again.
Chuck, I'm with you on the snake issue. Thanks for making me smile during these videos! Neil, I love learning new things and relearning old things I had forgotten. Thanks guys!
Speaking of blankets, I usually watch startalk (mostly cosmic queries) when im in bed at night, so you guys should do some episodes where you talk in a more quiet and chill way. 😂
Basically, they're blankets, but guess what??? They're warm as well, and also not warm at the same time. I know, it's revolutionary, a sign of hope for humanity, and ultimately, the only thing that keeps me going in life.
I use acetone lots at work. When you get it on your gloves, it immediately feels cold. So, several people I've worked with think acetone is cold, but it just evaporates quickly!
@@MrT------5743 Something on your hand evaporating does not make that substance cooler, it makes your hand cooler. All I'm saying is people I've worked with have thought that acetone was *below* room temperature, because it *feels* cold when they get it on their gloved hand, and it evaporates, even though it was obviously at the ambient temperature.
@@thirstfast1025 the liquid of something evaporating does indeed cool the remaining liquid. When it evaporates and molecules turn from a liquid to gas it takes energy away from the remaining liquid in the form.of heat. That is exactly why evaporation causes cooling.
@7:19 Chuck, as Niel explains, the body likes to produc more heat than it needs and discards the excess heat to the environment. If the feet are cold the body is discharging its excess heat from a different part, presumably the blankets are covering everything but her head. If she were to wear a hat (warm hat or stalking cap), that would insulate her head and the body world then have to discard that heat from somewhere else. I know it's not intuitive, but often a hat is all that is needed to warm the feet.
During the radiation treatments for my breast cancer, I decided to add the blanket warmer to my Powerball dream list. I would look forward to it ,being a skinny chick, always cold in air conditioning.

It’s my birthday 🥳 today and I just would like to let you know I enjoyed this show today 🤷♂️ also remember that friction makes heat. So give me some skin friends and I hope this warms your soul. 🖐⚡️👋😎👍 best birthday ever. To say hello to you Mr. Neil deGrasse Tyson & Chuck. Some may say gimme some skin went out a long time ago I hope for the sake of humanity we eventually bring the greeting back safely😷 Sincerely brother 👻 Boo!
I always love your content. Please, please do a show on the Science Channel debunking/proving to flat earthers that earth is a Globe. I think that would make an interesting series! like the one showing we have been to the moon.
This is actually very relevant to space, and I'm a little surprised that no one actually went there. Is space hot, or cold, or somewhere between? It depends on the circumstances. I'd say that, for most anything in space that is actually doing anything, keeping cool is probably more of a problem than keeping warm.
I actually know a lot of people who need to hear this... I have seen people tell me not to wrap a cold drink in a blanket because they think the blanket will warm the drink... adults in their 50s...
Somehow this got me thinking about tractor beams, followed by thinking about launching magnet to a space rock, pointing another magnet at it from a space mining barge, and flipping magnet polarity at last second in a pseudo pwm style system to hold it at harvesting distance, and repel back into a stable orbit with magnet repeling effect? But do magnets work in the vacuum of space? What’s their range compared to earth? Do magnets depend on mass or weight?
Raises interesting thoughts about why such folk as nomads in deserts wear several layers of clothing. Light coloured to reflect as much sunlight as possible back into the air system around them, and to provide thermal insulation barriers against their own skin becoming part of that system and taking in its heat.
This conversation reminds me of a story a physics professor shared with the class. His Poor wife should be sainted. Their master bedroom is in the basement. The floor is concrete and they have an area rug under the bed. He began to step away from the bed to go brush his teeth and she reminded him to put on his slippers because the floor was cold. I'm sure she just wanted him to have warm feet when he crawled into bed with her. He decided that the correct response was to explain the laws of thermodynamics in order to help her understand that the rug and the concrete were the same temperature. He did not mention explaining that the coefficients of thermoconductivity were different between the two materials, probably because he was already in the dog house by the time he was ready for that part of the explanation. This same man also responded to her romantic comment about the size of the just rising moon by explaining that the moon is always the same size. It's good to know physics. It's also good to know when to keep your mouth shut about physics.
I have never called it a warm blanket, although I have heard others say that. It's a blanket, or as I say, putting on another layer to help me stay warm. BTW I hate the cold and don't take off a jacket until it is in the high 70s. Chuck's wife may be chilly all like me, but I am much nicer if Chuck's description is to be believed
The flannel is light gray and I button every other except the top 2 the sleeves un bottom and gets great air flow and doesnt feel wet since it's a huge reservoir

Why do some people seem to feel hotter or colder than others, and what factors influence our perception of temperature and insulation?
First, just want to say I love the show and find all of these episodes extremely interesting to learn more about the world surrounding us.
Is the second part a DLC or what? LoL :)
Neil is the best! But it wouldn’t be StarTalk without Chuck
I'm not lying. I have stayed up at night wondering how heat is transferred from me to my blanket. This video is what i've been waiting for.
These videos really came in clutch during the pandemic
That's what I love about this show

We call them just blankets too, I think Neil was generalizing.
I've never heard someone say warm blanket before. They are just blankets, and they keep you warm.
Yep the only time someone calls it a warm blanket is when it just came out of the cloths dryer and is actually warm.

He did not mention explaining that the coefficients of thermoconductivity were different between the two materials, probably because he was already in the dog house by the time he was ready for that part of the explanation.
This same man also responded to her romantic comment about the size of the just rising moon by explaining that the moon is always the same size. It's good to know physics. It's also good to know when to keep your mouth shut about physics.
I have never called it a warm blanket, although I have heard others say that. It's a blanket, or as I say, putting on another layer to help me stay warm. BTW I hate the cold and don't take off a jacket until it is in the high 70s. Chuck's wife may be chilly all like me, but I am much nicer if Chuck's description is to be believed
The flannel is light gray and I button every other except the top 2 the sleeves un bottom and gets great air flow and doesnt feel wet since it's a huge reservoir
Love this channel
Top class, Chuck.
