      one of the problems with the heliocentric model is how can our pressurized atmosphere stand next to the cold, vacuum of apace, unprotected? explain that. if this model is actually true, our atmosphere would be sucked out of the globe earth. no, we would need shielding from space, like the concept of an aerosol can, the atmosphere inside the can is protected from being dispersed by a metal shell. does earth have a metal shell around it. we are taught this false heliocentric model without proof in school. the teachers expect us to take it by faith. therefore, the heliocentric model is a religion; a cult, I would say. the flat earth model is the only viable option. it is scientific and it is also biblical, therefore true. here's proof. ruclips.net/video/vyAh9OENJPU/video.html

      Well actually. This gets explained in elementary/highschool level. The answer is gravity.
      The gas in a pressurized can is put there by a compressor - compressor uses fast moving parts or a great weight/force to usher in the gas into the container. Gasses kinda have a lot of space between molecules, so they can be shrunk in volume by applying force to them - such as by a compressor into a can. Now the more force is applied, by the third Newton's law, the more the gas presses against this force (equal and opposite reaction) so that's how you get pressure in a gas. The pressure that you name the pressurized can after. For the pressure to be kept at it's level, the walls of the can have to exert the same force on the gas that is in the can, otherwise the gas would expand back to it's original volume and there would be less pressure in the gas. Same as the compressor has to exert a little higher force on the gas so that the pressure increases.
      Now atmospheric pressure, the pressure that we can measure in our atmosphere is not caused by a compressor or a can, but it also is caused by a force pushing on it. The force is the weight of all the air above the point where we measure the pressure. Gravity pulls all that air towards the surface and so it creates a force that lowers the volume that the same amount of air takes thus creating pressure as in the above example of gas can. As you go higher and higher away from the surface of Earth, there is fewer and fewer air left above you and gravity force pushing on it also gets weaker so there is less and less pressure until at a certain point there is no pressure and no gas.
      There is no force acting on the air at the top of atmosphere that would push this air away from Earth and so it mostly stays and is not sucked anywhere else because nothing is pushing it or sucking it away. In detail there are very little forces pushing in different ways and very little force pulling back, so sometimes a little of the gas is lost, but that is negligible.

      @Washeek ''now, even if gravity did exist, why would it cause both planets to orbit the sun and people to stick to the earth. gravity should either cause people to float in suspended circular orbits around the earth, or it should cause the earth to be pulled and crash into the sun. what sort of magic is ''gravity'' that it can glue people's feet to the ball earth, while causing earth itself to revolve ellipses around the sun? the two effects are very different yet the same cause is attributed to both.''

      Andrew Cromartie dude, the first life on any planet learned to move, learn to hunt when it got hungry, learn to play with its food(predator) and learn to recognize what is beneficial for its survival. These are bacterias, invisible to the naked eye. And we are the embodiment of their creation. It took billions of years. To prove that they control you, the next time you have sex. The pleasure is theirs and not yours. You are just reacting to them, working to immortalize you. You just need to transfer heat(at least 90° fahrenheit).

This video played a big part of my life choices and career decision in academia so far. I know a lot of people in academia (in physics) like to criticize Dr. Kaku, but I just can't bring myself to it, despite fully seeing their points, since he is literally my childhood hero!

      @markcianciolo9384 7 years ago +9

      @renehenriksen1735 Shallow they are who say Kaku is a pseudo-scientist. He is one of the pioneers of String Theory. That means he is doing science. And the shallow Peanut Gallery needs to dig deeper. Let's not be concerned about them. Let us learn from Kaku.

    • @renehenriksen1735
      @renehenriksen1735 7 years ago +7

      pyropulse I think this whole concept is really cool. I think it answers a different question than the one I was looking for though, which is that everyone was somewhere this time yesterday, every object was somewhere, the planets in our solar system were somewhere yesterday and have moved since then, the cells in every living organisms body have changed since yesterday, but even though everything was a very specific way at a very specific point in time it will never be yesterday again. Entropy aside it still only moves in one direction, that sandcastle will never be rebuilt by a gust of wind but even if it had been it STILL would not be the same sand particles in the same location as yesterday, and even so every other thing in the universe has changed since then. But yeah, the probability of life being the exact way today as yesterday is beyond impossible, so we will only ever travel in one direction.

I hope we discover the equations to explain dark matter in the near future, and figure out how to time travel and travel to other universes as well.

      I think he's a great man, but...
      ...But he's sometimes, i don't know how to say that... 'too grounded':
      He seems to not really think enough of the Future, sometimes apparently assuming 21.Centure Technology is the Peak of Technology.
      And regardless of all that, he seems to be a bit too much into... Human Propaganda, if you get what i mean.
      He's too proud on current Science and its Level. He's not aware enough of how many assumptions Humankind makes in Science, how much they don't know. How small it all still is.
      I hope Michio Kaku keeps improving AND watches a bunch of Sci-Fi, namely Stargate, so he can get out of these shells and limitations, and do a bunch of Theorys.
      Yes, you read right. I said watches a bunch of Sci-Fi. I genuinly believe that's what would help him with his just mentioned 'problems'.
