There are a few green stars. They are optical illusions and exist in double stars. Basically, if one member of the pair is red and the other is white, then our eyes interpret the contrast as the white star being green. This is a purely visual phenomenon, pictures of such double stars show them with their correct red and white colors.
Comment on the emotional creatures statement: I agree completely. I was at a funeral this weekend for a friend. When talking with others about him, I couldn't remember anything specific he had said, but I could remember his laugh and the life he exuded. On the plane fear problem: When a car breaks down, you pull over to the side of the road, get out, and see what the problem is. When a plane has a problem, it pulls over to the side of the road and no one gets out to see what the problem is.
People's laughs can be extremely memorable. I have a former coworker in mind who I liked a lot, but haven't worked with in a decade. But because he was jolly, had the most laugh out loud laugh, I still feel like I saw him just a few weeks ago.
Clothes historians say corsets were mostly supportive and mostly very comfortable. But some people must have done right lacing to improve their figures. The huge hoop skirts of the 1860s were pretty extreme - and what a way to say 1) I don't have to do any kind of work and 2) My husband or father can afford to buy the latest fashions.
Also the image of the corset joe showed was photoshopped and even the most extreme lacing corsets usually were additionally augmented using the photo editing techniques of the time I recommend watching watching some Bernadette banner ruclips.net/video/gYGUfg_NJzg/видео.htmlsi=snEfH8I98v75dy2x
hoop skirts definitely got ridiculous in their scale among the richest people, but the hoop itself was also such a gamechanger that it killed anti-skirt movements because it solved the issue of how painful and cumbersome layers and layers and layers of petticoats were lol.
You have to be careful though because if you know too much they will think you do sorcery. There's an anime Dr. Stone where he rebuilds civilization going back through all the eras. You would have to be careful what you do is appropriate for the era or sorcery/magic.
I recently learned that there is no law that says corporations have to maximize shareholder value! That idea apparently goes back to a court case against Henry Ford where the ruling said CEOs should consider shareholder value as one of the important goals when making decisions. And then in the 80’s or 90’s when CEO pay began to be linked to the stock price, they started acting like it was a mandate from god to maximize share price. How Money Works has a great video on it called “The Dumbest Business Idea in History”.
Also CEOs can't act against the corp due to their fiduciary duty, especially if they have contrary interests like owning stocks in a competitor. I'm not sure how much is civil vs able to be crminally prosecuted or from regulators.
Part of it came from Friedman's doctrine that “an entity's greatest responsibility lies in the satisfaction of the shareholders.” Corporations took that and sprinted to the extremes
Correct - no such law exists. But it convenient for corporations to nurture and perpetuate the myth to hide the pirate-level greed that is the norm in today’s economy. Look at the case of any company that is involved in a “hostile takeover.” The first thing the new board does is dump employees to “cut costs.” Short-term thinking to maximize short-term profit. For a good case study, look into what happened to IBM when it went public…
It's not a new concept, Karl Marx made his predictions in the mid 1800s when capitalism was just starting to take over the world, and he was right. This is just how capitalism works and will always work and therefore it's time to move past capitalism.
If you go back in time There's a good chance you might 1 cause a few pandemics, by bringing virus and bacterias that to us aren't as deadly, but to an unprepared immune system might be 2 die of smallpox
I love Ilan's question, and would love a whole video on that. Be careful what you travel back in time with; you might get burned at the stake as a witch.😮 * edited to add: I watched the Crash Course Deadliest Disease video you recommended and it was excellent.
I heard that if the black body radiation curve peaks in the blue part of the spectrum then the star appears blue. If it peaks in red then the star appears red. But if it peaks in the middle, at green, then it still has a lot of red and blue. Our eyes have three color receptors, so we see the three colors together as white. The questioner said yellow is in the middle, too, why do we see yellow, and not white? Is this an astronomy question or a physiology question?
Cool Worlds made a complete video, that a green star is not only impossible in this universe but in any universe regardless what the 4 basic constant values would be.
One of the more interesting aspects of time travel is its relationship to space… remember, the earth is rotating, and orbiting around our sun, while the sun is orbiting a singularity @ the center of our galaxy, which is moving away from somewhere we cannot pinpoint @ a speed we cannot determine(@ least, I cannot)… Perhaps a more critical question would be “How might you be certain of where you would slip into then when time and space recalibrate?“. Just a little while ago you were a comparably VERY long way over somewhere…
yeah, but how do you get around the concept of there being an absolute space? a lot of the stuff that we know about physics/space has to do with the system of reference that the observer is in. how can you be certain that the time machine interprets space in the same way that you do, and doesn't just plop you in its own reference system (ie, the one that has been moving with you and presumably will continue to move)?
Since spacetime is a single entity, as long as your time machine works by MOVING you through time, Newton's third law should apply for all the space dimensions, keeping you in the same relative place in space as everything else around you as you are moved through time. This of course, has other problematic implications, as it means you remain causally connected to the physical space around your time machine for the entire time trip. Thus, if you move forward in time by say 1000 years, but 500 years in the future the site where your time machine is standing is struck by an asteroid, your time machine will be affected by the impact. Time machines would probably need to be housed in deep, stable underground bunkers. Of course, if your time machine works by teleporting you through time, then all bets are off.
@@adamwu4565 This 'fixed point' in current space is used in the Time Machine films. The chair device remains in one place (until it is moved by the Morlocks) so all other Newtonian laws prevail.
Just once I’d love to see in a movie a person time travel and just appear in deep space where the Earth was at that point in time. They quickly die, the end. Obviously it would be a short film lol.
I would bring a bunch of T-shirts to the 1950's and before with words on them, like Joe is wearing all the time. Those were not a thing back then and you would get a lot of strange looks.
3:30 I believe you're referencing Dara O' Briain cuz I also thought of the same thing. Imo, possibly the best thing to do to "advance the future" would be to go to some era where you can reliably kickstart the industrial revolution as well as warn people of the dangers of pollution and climate change.
What you would take if you went forward or backward in time would be interesting. Especially if you included what specific time you would go to and what you would take with you. And whether it would matter if you just went for a month, or if it was a one-way trip. 🙂
Another point is whether or not you would worry about changing the past. Would you bring modern technology, and if you did would you keep it hidden from others?
If we're talking about branching time lines, I would absolutely bring a bunch of solar panels capable of putting out the appropriate voltage and wattage, and as many identical laptops as I can manage, each running Debian 12 with EVERY package with sources downloaded (not necessarily installed), and the entirety of Wikipedia. That's how you fast forward the entire history of the planet to today as quickly as possible.
Note: hopefully avoiding the bad things, not trying to repeat every extremely bad thing. Also, not sure if I should be completely open with the entire world about being from the future, you know? And like, I don't think a single state should have all of the technology derived from the knowledge... very much a "temporal prime directive" sort of thing...
The comedian I think you're referring to is Nate Bargatze. He was doing a bit about being dumb and thinking that if he went back in time, he doesn't think he would make a difference.
4:20 Cool Worlds did a video on why there aren't green stars. It's excellent and worth a watch. The basic rundown tho is blue and red are on opposite sides of the spectrum and so you can get a great skew that way . But since green is in the middle, you still have a huge amount of red and blue light which you would have to get rid of in order to get that green spike.
@@Sensei_BigJoe it's a joke but you might appear in the future over a flooded uninhabited part of the world and you'll need ac and a raft if the climate keeps warming and until someone rescues you
@@seae2030 yeah, I got it when I saw the raft. That was a good one and yeah, you ain't wrong unfortunately. Hopefully you appear over it and not under it lmao
Haha ya that’s so funny cause by 2100 the ice caps would have totally melted…. But well… they were supposed to have melted by 2000 and 2010… oh and 2015…. And 2020, but you’re definitely right. They’ll totally be gone by 2100. Although in the 60-70s they said we were entering an ice age so who the hell knows huh? Maybe no one…
Re: "We need to get back to saying 'I don't know more." I couldn't agree more, and I'd love to see people encourage those who follow it up with, "let's find out!"
8:00 We've been mostly in post-scarcity for quite a while. Right now, a lot of poverty around the world is really markets controlling how much stuff they make available.
Saying we're post scarcity right now is about as useful as showing a picture of oxygen to someone that's drawing "see there is breathable air, it's a shame you've been artificially deprived from it"
Joe I am so relieved to be watching your channel right now. For some reason I haven't been able to find anything worthwhile to watch on RUclips lately. Thank you for the great content.
hey, cool stuff!i just wanted to add that corsets did not restrict breathing or anything like that, they were a simple supportive and shaping garment, just like bras are today. there's a lot of corset misinformation, so not your fault, but i just wanted to point that out
That's BS. I've seen women trying on original corsets from the 1800s and breathing got very difficult for them. And when you look at skeletons from this time, you see many with deformed ribs.
@@desperadox7565 That's BS. Corsets from the 1800s were made to fit a specific person. They were made with specific measurements and with materials that would form to the body as you wore it. The reason why those women couldn't breathe in those corsets is because it wasn't made for them. The deformed skeletons you are referring to were likely from women who were lacing corsets too tightly which was an extreme practice even back then, or they were from women who were corseted at too young of an age, another extreme practice. Corsets were worn by all women in the Victorian period, even the working-class women who would work in factories or as maids, in fact, they made those jobs easier by giving much-needed lower back support. Modified corsets were even worn during pregnancy. The main reason why corsets are so vilified today is because the men of the time were afraid of them. Women were the ones who made and sold corsets, which gave them financial freedom from men. Men distorted medical information about corsets to take away that source of income and keep women subservient to men. The public hatred of corsets comes from misogyny. If you don't believe me and believe the doctors of the time then perhaps you should travel back in time and have them treat you for any condition. Are we really going to trust medical information from the same doctors who practiced bloodletting?
Are you trying to say bras don't restrict breathing? Lmao maybe you just don't notice it but they definitly do negatively impact womens ability to breath, even getting fitted properly only minimizes the restriction. I would bet corsets were way worse than bras for breathing in.
came here to make the same comment. There were a few who tight-laced, but you basically only saw them in a carnival side-shows rather than everyday life. People now seem to forget that the news focuses on the strange not the normal, and also that people of the past could and did lie. There are lots of great historical fashion channels here on yt that go in depth about why this misconception is so pervasive.
@@ronald3836 of course, but the more "if" statements you add the more you realize how unlikely it is for something like this to happen. Unlikely not impossible, universe is so big no matter how unlikely it's probably happening somewhere.
Would love to see the full length time travel video. You could physically pack all the items, then for each time period do a quick comedy sketch interacting with the locals of that time and place.
It should be possible to generate 5V to charge it there but would definitely need to fill the phone with all sort of stuff for offline use. Same does apply to 2100 probably. Not sure how wireless tech changes to 2050.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. Without the accompanying technology, it’s only as useful as whatever is pre-loaded and not dependent on any sort of connection.
The whole of English wikipedia (without images) is 22.14GB compressed, so you can easily load it up on a phone with 64GB of storage, and you can get phones with way more, so you could get images for some articles loaded on as well. On top of that you could get movies or other videos, maybe videos of space launches and other huge advancements. Phones also have lots of sensors, you could load up some apps that showcase that (a compass is a pretty cool demo) And lastly, you can get some offline 3D games to demo the sheer amount of compute available to a phone
I LOVE the concept of time travel (despite the inherent problems) and would watch the hell outta any video you do about it! And the idea of packing a bag for time travel sounds soooo cool! Oh, and according to another RUclipsr, Rob Words, you're absolutely correct, we could still mostly speak to and understand people from the 1500s, earlier and you're starting to get into late middle English and vowels and even some consonants sound completely different. Definitely make this a video!❤❤❤
The planet question was probably inspired by the film Melancholia, in which it's a rogue planet from outside the solar system. Although the film Meteor had as the originating event, a collision between a comet and an asteroid sent the asteroid 'hurtling' towards Earth.
Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland worked on a book series called The Rise And Fall of D.O.D.O.". It's great and deals specifically with time travelto those earlier times.
Ha, I thought I was the only one who remembered the hilarious thing the comedian said about time travel ( it was on NPR, years ago ) - " I 'd be a terrible time-traveller , I wouldn't be able to do anything remarkable ".
Jacque Fresco... Does he havea Brother named Al? Al Fresco? Boeing crumbling is no suprize to me. David Calhoun did the same thing to GE, Nielsen, and Arbitron. And of course after he did "his work" he walked away with a huge bonus.
11:20 given recent events and insider leaks, I'd say that a Boeing Dreamliner 787 or 737 Max are probably actually higher risk than other aircraft. But also probably still lower risk than driving to your destination instead.
That TB essay by John Green was fantastic A video on enviable… self-harm? Poison taking, waist-training, feet binding, neck elongation, skull pressing, etc would be really interesting!
Joe - first question. When going to the 1950s, take along a laptop computer with a VGA output and a charging cable and an adapter for an automobile cigarette lighter. For any other era, take along a fold up solar panel charger. BTW load up lots of thumb drives with lots of info. Can a language translating AI fit on a one terabyte thumb drive? One terabyte thumb drives are under $100 and thumb drives are still getting bigger and cheaper.
Even though most of use modern technology, we wouldn't know how to create and apply that tech if we were suddenly transported back in time. Here are just a few ways that we could help others/ourselves. *Fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly raw, to prevent/cure scarvy. *Use of aseptic techniques while attending to childbirth or while treating the sick and injured. *Exposure to cowpox to prevent the far worse smallpox. *Rodent control to guard against Bubonic Plague outbreaks.
the pope declared that cats were the devil's things. so the Italians of the era killed most of them, later , they had a plague of rats- and then.......
@ 12:31 The most plausible scenario is a rogue planet or moon enters the solar system and takes us out. Or maybe it disturbs the orbit of Saturn's moons or Jupiter's moons and sends one or more moons into the inner solar system.
I liked the way you compared concerts and religious events. For a long time, I've noticed the same, which includes any event that brings people together for a common connection such as sports
11:18 I just recently booked a flight from FL to TX on American airlines and thankfully the planes are all Airbus, no Boeing. Whew! Feel like I may be dodging a bullet there. lol
13:00 Sol's planets are in stable orbits for millions more years unless we get a planet-sized visitors. Rogue planets are the higher risk because it's unknown, and while it would be exceptionally bad luck if one hit us directly, it could destabilize any of our planets in any number of ways, which could send one of the other terrestrial planets on a collision course and/or make Earth rogue, too.
Interesting concept.... If I went back 200 years I'd been seen as something between a wizard and a God. If I went back 2000 years I'd probably be dead in a few days.
12:31 since every planet orbits around the sun and tug on eachother a little it's basically impossible for a planetary collision to happen, our moon is actually moving away from us every year by like two inches or something, one possible cause would be a sudden immense gravitional mass that tugs on our solar system and planetary orbits, the opposite would also be true, a sudden decrease in gravtional pull like if the sun became a super Nova but we'd be dead anyways.
It's Monday May 6th and I fully expected to see a new video from Joe this morning. Does anybody have any idea why a new video has not shown up? I'm getting your dad worried. You okay joe?
Yes do the time travel video. I've always thought about that scenario. Like what would I bring, how would I act, how would I live if I went back in time.
3:25 Nate Bargatze is the comedian he's referencing. Hilarious bit, about if he went back in time, because he's dumb, people wouldn't believe he's from the future. 😅😊
for the light to be green it would have to have a very narrow peak centered at the green band of the spectrum visible to homo sapiens. the colors we do see are a mixture because of the broad (wide) spectrum emitted by some temperature of heat.
12:30 I think he's thinking about a rouge planet or other interstellar object. And such a thing could cause a lot of problems, especially if it was really small and really massive. A micro-black hole could be several times the mass of the sun yet only a few hundred meters in size. Such a black hole would only be visible if it had an accretion disk. It may be detectable through interactions with Solar System planets causing deviations in orbits, but these deviations would take time to detect, then more time to explain. It would be very likely that Earth's first detection of such a black hole would be from it's effects on Earth. Things like objects falling up, not down.
7:06 there’s a misconception in manufacturing. When you buy a machine that replaces a human worker you have to do maintenance on that machine. Over time long term it ends up costing and not being free labor.
the problem is that it puts people of low qualification out of work. people who cant afford higher education to becone engineers etc to maintain a machine. it also means that people out there arent getting health insurance from these "low skill" jobs. the working class without high education will be wiped off the planet, and that is not good for capital from a capitalist pig standpoint.
My vote is easily for an entire video on the time travel question. I'll bet you come up with something obscure but critical to have. And definitely antibiotics - either direction of time travel.

The basic rundown tho is blue and red are on opposite sides of the spectrum and so you can get a great skew that way . But since green is in the middle, you still have a huge amount of red and blue light which you would have to get rid of in order to get that green spike.
take an air conditioner and an inflatable raft to the 2100's
Lol, for a second I was like they'll have ac's that's wierd.... ooooh 😅
@@Sensei_BigJoe it's a joke but you might appear in the future over a flooded uninhabited part of the world and you'll need ac and a raft if the climate keeps warming and until someone rescues you
@@seae2030 yeah, I got it when I saw the raft. That was a good one and yeah, you ain't wrong unfortunately. Hopefully you appear over it and not under it lmao
Lol. Good one.
Haha ya that’s so funny cause by 2100 the ice caps would have totally melted…. But well… they were supposed to have melted by 2000 and 2010… oh and 2015…. And 2020, but you’re definitely right. They’ll totally be gone by 2100. Although in the 60-70s they said we were entering an ice age so who the hell knows huh? Maybe no one…
Re: "We need to get back to saying 'I don't know more."
I couldn't agree more, and I'd love to see people encourage those who follow it up with, "let's find out!"
8:00 We've been mostly in post-scarcity for quite a while. Right now, a lot of poverty around the world is really markets controlling how much stuff they make available.
Agreed. Or developed nations taking advantage of less developed nations and stripping them of their resources.
Saying we're post scarcity right now is about as useful as showing a picture of oxygen to someone that's drawing
"see there is breathable air, it's a shame you've been artificially deprived from it"
Joe I am so relieved to be watching your channel right now. For some reason I haven't been able to find anything worthwhile to watch on RUclips lately. Thank you for the great content.
hey, cool stuff!i just wanted to add that corsets did not restrict breathing or anything like that, they were a simple supportive and shaping garment, just like bras are today. there's a lot of corset misinformation, so not your fault, but i just wanted to point that out
That's BS. I've seen women trying on original corsets from the 1800s and breathing got very difficult for them. And when you look at skeletons from this time, you see many with deformed ribs.
@@desperadox7565 That's BS. Corsets from the 1800s were made to fit a specific person. They were made with specific measurements and with materials that would form to the body as you wore it. The reason why those women couldn't breathe in those corsets is because it wasn't made for them. The deformed skeletons you are referring to were likely from women who were lacing corsets too tightly which was an extreme practice even back then, or they were from women who were corseted at too young of an age, another extreme practice. Corsets were worn by all women in the Victorian period, even the working-class women who would work in factories or as maids, in fact, they made those jobs easier by giving much-needed lower back support. Modified corsets were even worn during pregnancy. The main reason why corsets are so vilified today is because the men of the time were afraid of them. Women were the ones who made and sold corsets, which gave them financial freedom from men. Men distorted medical information about corsets to take away that source of income and keep women subservient to men. The public hatred of corsets comes from misogyny. If you don't believe me and believe the doctors of the time then perhaps you should travel back in time and have them treat you for any condition. Are we really going to trust medical information from the same doctors who practiced bloodletting?
Are you trying to say bras don't restrict breathing? Lmao maybe you just don't notice it but they definitly do negatively impact womens ability to breath, even getting fitted properly only minimizes the restriction. I would bet corsets were way worse than bras for breathing in.
came here to make the same comment. There were a few who tight-laced, but you basically only saw them in a carnival side-shows rather than everyday life. People now seem to forget that the news focuses on the strange not the normal, and also that people of the past could and did lie. There are lots of great historical fashion channels here on yt that go in depth about why this misconception is so pervasive.
Backing this comment up, hoping Joe or his team sees it!
5:15
I googled on this.
Now I wonder if there is an atmosphere that could make a star appear green.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
I have a deep primal fear of a rogue planet passing through JUST close enough to rip earth out of it's orbit and toss us into oblivion.
don't worry Jupiter will take care of it 😅
Or Saturn @@justfasial01
That’s why we have Jupiter.
@@justfasial01 if you aim the rogue planet well, Jupiter will simply swing it right into the general direction of earth.
@@ronald3836 of course, but the more "if" statements you add the more you realize how unlikely it is for something like this to happen.
Unlikely not impossible, universe is so big no matter how unlikely it's probably happening somewhere.
Definitely do a vid on the first question there is so much that could be thought about and said. And would be interesting to watch.
Would love to see the full length time travel video. You could physically pack all the items, then for each time period do a quick comedy sketch interacting with the locals of that time and place.
Thanks!
Good to see you, Joe.
Best Regards!
People remembering how you made them feel more than the words you say is life changing information for me
A smartphone in the 1950s would be a brick, without cellular connection, the Internet, and a compatible power adapter.
It should be possible to generate 5V to charge it there but would definitely need to fill the phone with all sort of stuff for offline use. Same does apply to 2100 probably. Not sure how wireless tech changes to 2050.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. Without the accompanying technology, it’s only as useful as whatever is pre-loaded and not dependent on any sort of connection.
The whole of English wikipedia (without images) is 22.14GB compressed, so you can easily load it up on a phone with 64GB of storage, and you can get phones with way more, so you could get images for some articles loaded on as well. On top of that you could get movies or other videos, maybe videos of space launches and other huge advancements.
Phones also have lots of sensors, you could load up some apps that showcase that (a compass is a pretty cool demo)
And lastly, you can get some offline 3D games to demo the sheer amount of compute available to a phone
Airplane mode would work
@@YonatanAvhar Just calculating decimals of Pi with the phone might be quite impressive in 1950 :)
I LOVE the concept of time travel (despite the inherent problems) and would watch the hell outta any video you do about it! And the idea of packing a bag for time travel sounds soooo cool! Oh, and according to another RUclipsr, Rob Words, you're absolutely correct, we could still mostly speak to and understand people from the 1500s, earlier and you're starting to get into late middle English and vowels and even some consonants sound completely different. Definitely make this a video!❤❤❤
The planet question was probably inspired by the film Melancholia, in which it's a rogue planet from outside the solar system. Although the film Meteor had as the originating event, a collision between a comet and an asteroid sent the asteroid 'hurtling' towards Earth.
I always love when Joe answers the Lightning Rounds...some answers are really surprising
And I learn so much from the comments. Lots of knowledgeable people here
Please do the time traveling backpacking video!
I loved the style of today's Lightning Round video. The thumbnail, the intro, the content. All fantastic
Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland worked on a book series called The Rise And Fall of D.O.D.O.". It's great and deals specifically with time travelto those earlier times.
Ha, I thought I was the only one who remembered the hilarious thing the comedian said about time travel ( it was on NPR, years ago ) - " I 'd be a terrible time-traveller , I wouldn't be able to do anything remarkable ".
Jacque Fresco... Does he havea Brother named Al? Al Fresco?
Boeing crumbling is no suprize to me. David Calhoun did the same thing to GE, Nielsen, and Arbitron.
And of course after he did "his work" he walked away with a huge bonus.
Yes, he's outside.
Are you my dad??
Are you guys on vacation? I hope there is nothing wrong. Can't wait for your next vid.
"poisoning yourself to look good is a pretty wild fashion trend" Look into botox lool
If Aliens keep dumping Plutonium into Przybylski's Star; we may very well get a green star.
I get the joke, but it would be far more productive to throw it into a black hole. If you watch Kurzgesagt, you'll get the reference
Always do time travel stuff! I'd watch the hell out of that episode.
Vaccine's and antibiotics!
11:20 given recent events and insider leaks, I'd say that a Boeing Dreamliner 787 or 737 Max are probably actually higher risk than other aircraft. But also probably still lower risk than driving to your destination instead.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!!❤
To Boeing’s credit, no one has died yet in spite of pieces falling off. Some pretty stand-out safety engineering in those things! 😂
They had two crash in recent years, killing hundreds.

That TB essay by John Green was fantastic
A video on enviable… self-harm? Poison taking, waist-training, feet binding, neck elongation, skull pressing, etc would be really interesting!
Joe - first question. When going to the 1950s, take along a laptop computer with a VGA output and a charging cable and an adapter for an automobile cigarette lighter. For any other era, take along a fold up solar panel charger. BTW load up lots of thumb drives with lots of info. Can a language translating AI fit on a one terabyte thumb drive? One terabyte thumb drives are under $100 and thumb drives are still getting bigger and cheaper.
Even though most of use modern technology, we wouldn't know how to create and apply that tech if we were suddenly transported back in time.
Here are just a few ways that we could help others/ourselves.
*Fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly raw, to prevent/cure scarvy.
*Use of aseptic techniques while attending to childbirth or while treating the sick and injured.
*Exposure to cowpox to prevent the far worse smallpox.
*Rodent control to guard against Bubonic Plague outbreaks.
the pope declared that cats were the devil's things. so the Italians of the era killed most of them, later , they had a plague of rats- and then.......
I would LOVE a video or series of videos on that first question! so fun!
15:15 I would argue it's T-shirts with random stuff printed on them. For thousands of years we had clothing with nothing printed on them, until now.
Lol. For thousands of years we had no way of printing anything. The printing press is just under 600 years old.
Definitely do a video of the traveling back in time question! That would be fun. :)
@ 12:31 The most plausible scenario is a rogue planet or moon enters the solar system and takes us out. Or maybe it disturbs the orbit of Saturn's moons or Jupiter's moons and sends one or more moons into the inner solar system.
Joe next to Leonidas be like: "We're against how many?"
I liked the way you compared concerts and religious events. For a long time, I've noticed the same, which includes any event that brings people together for a common connection such as sports
I'm so grateful for these videos, they're so much fun
Love the idea of what would you pack traveling into the past!
You made me laugh so hard in this one. 😂 Thanks, Joe.
Good answers. Enjoyed. Thank you.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
the ‘what would you bring time travel video’ is a good idea for a video
I'd love to see a video on the 4B movement and what kind of benefits and consequences that could have for our future
4:56 ".. There aren't any green stars." Correct, it's blue stars, yellow moons, green clovers.. couldn't resist.
11:18 I just recently booked a flight from FL to TX on American airlines and thankfully the planes are all Airbus, no Boeing. Whew! Feel like I may be dodging a bullet there. lol
13:00 Sol's planets are in stable orbits for millions more years unless we get a planet-sized visitors. Rogue planets are the higher risk because it's unknown, and while it would be exceptionally bad luck if one hit us directly, it could destabilize any of our planets in any number of ways, which could send one of the other terrestrial planets on a collision course and/or make Earth rogue, too.
The green star has a cool worlds video on this topic, highly recommended
You are getting better at the off the script lighting round vids ;)
LOVED the questions this lightning round!
4:00 Your buddy the premoderist kinda has that video already; “Advice for time travel to Medieval Europe”
8:15 from my position at the bottom, it really seems like the first option is what’s being done
"If something did go wrong, it goes spectacularly wrong" 😂
Interesting concept.... If I went back 200 years I'd been seen as something between a wizard and a God. If I went back 2000 years I'd probably be dead in a few days.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!!❤
I have never seen a fashion trend in my lifetime that has been universally embraced. There are always dissenters.
12:31 since every planet orbits around the sun and tug on eachother a little it's basically impossible for a planetary collision to happen, our moon is actually moving away from us every year by like two inches or something, one possible cause would be a sudden immense gravitional mass that tugs on our solar system and planetary orbits, the opposite would also be true, a sudden decrease in gravtional pull like if the sun became a super Nova but we'd be dead anyways.
Absolutely yes on the time travel video!
I'd love to see a video about what you'd bring in a backpack to different ages, sounds fun and interesting!
If I'm traveling back in time, I'd want antibiotics, vaccines, gold, and a pistol with lots of ammunition.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
1 vote for a "How Joe could wreck the timeline" video, please.
It's Monday May 6th and I fully expected to see a new video from Joe this morning. Does anybody have any idea why a new video has not shown up? I'm getting your dad worried. You okay joe?
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤
Yes do the time travel video.
I've always thought about that scenario. Like what would I bring, how would I act, how would I live if I went back in time.
If I was time traveling to 1950 I would pack my JNCO jeans. CHECKMATE Joe!
3:25 Nate Bargatze is the comedian he's referencing. Hilarious bit, about if he went back in time, because he's dumb, people wouldn't believe he's from the future. 😅😊
I vote for a whole video (or a series of them) on what would you bring when time traveling.
for the light to be green it would have to have a very narrow peak centered at the green band of the spectrum visible to homo sapiens. the colors we do see are a mixture because of the broad (wide) spectrum emitted by some temperature of heat.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
12:30 I think he's thinking about a rouge planet or other interstellar object. And such a thing could cause a lot of problems, especially if it was really small and really massive. A micro-black hole could be several times the mass of the sun yet only a few hundred meters in size. Such a black hole would only be visible if it had an accretion disk. It may be detectable through interactions with Solar System planets causing deviations in orbits, but these deviations would take time to detect, then more time to explain.
It would be very likely that Earth's first detection of such a black hole would be from it's effects on Earth. Things like objects falling up, not down.
4:24 The Sun is a green star! At least, the peak intensity of light it emits is in the the green range.
7:06 there’s a misconception in manufacturing. When you buy a machine that replaces a human worker you have to do maintenance on that machine. Over time long term it ends up costing and not being free labor.
the problem is that it puts people of low qualification out of work. people who cant afford higher education to becone engineers etc to maintain a machine.
it also means that people out there arent getting health insurance from these "low skill" jobs. the working class without high education will be wiped off the planet, and that is not good for capital from a capitalist pig standpoint.
You should be honored your the person people are asking their lively questions too
My vote is easily for an entire video on the time travel question. I'll bet you come up with something obscure but critical to have. And definitely antibiotics - either direction of time travel.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
On my TV(and with my eyes), some of the stars you showed actually looked green 😄
I must of missed the Venus Project episode, gotta go look for that. I loved Zeitgeist back in the day.
love the time travel video idea.
Definitely explore the one way time travel concept some more.
Please do a video of the first question. It sounds fun and lighthearted.
Another planet smashed into Earth once, already. Theia. It gave us our moon....
