After an eclipse here in Alabama, people called the media to ask if it would be safe to look at the sun after the eclipse was over, so you know that we are geniuses.
Or excellent poes.
Trolls.
Et cetera.
Doesn't NASA have a facility there? No locals on the pay role though.
@@Kargoneth Edger Allans?
The "Deeper Learning in Astronomy" "paper" is authored by Ali Frolop an anagram of April Fool.
So, back in the '70s I had a subscription to something called the Journal of Irreproducible Results. Most every article was like an April Fool's joke. I think it's still published. :)
In the late 70s Discover magazine published the ice-borrowing "Hot heads" that burrowed through the ice and ate penguins by seizing them underneath and slowly pulling them into the ice as they consumed them. They also argued some explorers lost in Antarctica in the past could have well been taken by these ice-burrowing hunters. The article explains how they used blood to warm their head to melt through the glaciated ice and had several doctored pictures of these beasts.
I remember reading about that.
That would make for a pretty interesting sci-fi movie
@@benmcreynolds8581 'Blood Beach', but for Antarctica.
*burrowing
⬅️⬅️ ice borrowing pot head.
Ya got any ice? 🥤
I don’t know whether it was the first joke paper, but in 1947 Isaac Asimov published "The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline,” in which he described a material that was so water soluble that if dropped into water it would dissolve before reaching the water.
He also wrote about chronotons, particles that go back in time.
He kind of predicted time crystals with that one. Almost and definitly not how they behave but I would be happy giving Isaac Asimov the win on that one
In math you can have what I call an adam's number: a number that can have any value other than the one stated. You can find that in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Like 69?
Have pillow... will travel ❤
Only if the flop comes 996 😊
On the button
Only if you divide by zero.
Can we appreciate that the PASTA markers study is from Bologna and via Gobetti (also a type of pasta)? 😆
But astrophysicists are already named the densest matter in the universe as nuclear pasta.
I thought the paper was going to be an extension (somehow) of nuclear pasta. I gotta download that python pasta package they invented
9:51 Brilliant title containing multiple references to vulcanization, a method of hardening rubber.
...and if someone DOES take the eclipse joke seriously, I sincerely hope we hear about it.
The natives were restless that day my friend 😊 enjoy
One of my favorites is the paper describing an alternative approach to room temperature superconduction.....by creating a very cold room.
Do u remember the name of that paper?
It's funny how serious scientists take their jokes.
The best April Fools joke article I remember was in Popular Science 30+ years ago, where they announced a new naked-eye visible subatomic particle had been identified from a CRT monitor exploding. They named it the Bigon.
Discover magazine used to do April Fool’s articles or pictures. One was a picture of a bowling ball hitting a computer monitor and the article said a new particle called the Bigon has been detected.
YES! It came out when I was in high school, and I didn't realize it was a joke! I cited it in a(n English) paper and told many people about it for YEARS!
"No one can explain the Wow Particle"
(sets beer down) "Yeah. about that"
Ahhh! I was hoping to see Multi Messenger Astrology, Andrew Gustafson is our GTA in physics!!!
Those Black holes would explain why the speed of light is the speed it is
OMG! Anton's April Fool's Video from 5 years ago, titled "Nasa has been lying to us!" IS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING ANTON'S EVER DONE!
Great Acting, and.... I won't Spoil it. But the things he supposes he'll do on his Channel from that moment on are ABSOLUTE GOLD! 😂
Here's a paper title I came up with:
Quirky Quarks - How the Top Quark Dominates the Bottom Quark
Any others?
We definitely need more of Anton's old style April Fool's Videos! He's absolutely hilarious! He truly has a Gift for Comedy!
Doesn't need to be only once a year! Just from time to time, as it's so good! ASMR, Makeup and Mukbang Channels! 😂
All of my cats have been lap cats, but i am a very quiet person who keeps a calm household. No matter how stressed i am, as soon as i get home, i try to release that stress and breathe in the quiet. My cats are part of that stress reduction, as soon as i see them, all is right with the world again. I think they sense that. My cats also understand my apologies if i sneeze or cough and make them jump, soon as i say sorry, they relax and come back to cuddling. Perhaps it's my tone, i dont know, but it works
Thanks for sharing this !
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. ✌️🙂
Au contraire, biologists have definitely joined in on the April Fools fun! I remember a paper back in the 1990s about how potato "eyes" share the genetic underpinnings common to animal eyes. It was poking fun at the tendency to find a gene of interest and try to explain all of evolution with it.
Go team Horseshoe Crab!
The moon used to be closer to the earth, but as the earth rotates much faster than the moon orbits it transfers some of its angular momentum, causing the moon to move further away.
In the past there were more total eclipses than annular eclipses, and soon there will be only annular eclipses, and then eventually none 😢
I enjoyed the discussion very much 👏
After April 2nd I did think of a modified thorium powered Bobcat excavator on the moon leveling landing & future construction sites.
First, I expected pasta, but perspective is everything. Thanks 🎉
The fact that the moon is *just* the right size and distance to cause eclipses is just mind-blowing. What's more mind-blowing is that we are here during the time when it is the right distance away. Some very unlikely things lining up. Makes you think.
In the past the moon was even closer to the planet, eclipses have been happening since the planet had a moon, so like forever
Well, the Sun is going to swallow us before we ever lose the Moon, so...
I have hemorrhoids 😢
The Sun is 20 times 'bigger' than the moon and the sun is exactly 20 times 'farther' away from earth than the moon 💫
@@sandrajones1609 check your math on 20 ❤️ I have hemorrhoids 🔥
I was in a Home Depot store talking to the solar salespeople shortly after April 1st. The company website had said it developed a Lunar module for generating power during the night, no specifics. The young man I was talking with had heard of it and was explaining to me how wonderful this would be not knowing it was an April 1 prank. He refused to believe it was a prank because he so wanted to believe that night time Lunar production was possible. The poor kid had zero science or engineering knowledge. When you have to be careful about these pranks, well you find out who the dumbest people really are.
Thank you for your daily videos
Thx Anton.
Hmmm... What if those huge gravitational waves came from the big bang itself? 🤔
Or a protective shield.
my thoughts were it could be possible if they were made from the super dense matter in the early universe, and if they are at the edge of our universe then they would also be further back in time near the start of the big bang. so its not implausible tbh, we would just need to explain their size and that could be a valid theory xD
Shut up and take my sky pesos 😮
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I once wrote about a pork byproduct that was so strange it had a Kevin Bacon number of minus 3. I accidentally emailed the article to thousands of my closest friends, who all thought it was Spam.
Some things are just left unsaid.😄
I like the horseshow crab👍😀
I think more studies need to be done on 40 Eridani, the real "Vulcan" star system. No planets have been found there yet, but at only 16 lightyears away, theyre practically our neighbours (and you should always get to know your neighbours)
Nice video Anton ❤️😄
Here is a serious point though, I’ve often heard it said that the fact that galaxies are going away from us in all directions in the same way me and you can model the three dimensions of space like spots on the two dimensional surface of a ball. There might clearly be issues with the value of pi at cosmological scales if the universe does truly conform to that model.
While not science related I think RFC1149 published 1990 was a good one
The Ratio of Size BETWEEN Sol and Luna is 3:2 Distance Adds to Our Perspective.
Along with the Eccentricities in the Orbit of Luna, and it's Deviation relative to Plane off a few Degrees passing above and below during its 28 Day Cycle.
Your Mukbang video is still one of the best April 1 videos ever!
Dear Mr. Anton Petrov, with all pride, respect and gratitude to you for the very wonderful and interesting information you provide, I would like to make an important observation that concerns me in particular, and I think it concerns a wide segment of those who follow you who are not English speakers, as you speak very quickly without focusing on anything. The end of the words makes it difficult to follow the idea that you want to convey to us, and often times, which forces me to repeat some passages in order to understand the idea that you want to convey to us. With great respect Dr. R. Qusay Hussein.
The "black box" phenomenon is too real. RUclips can't say what its algorithm is because they literally do not know.
I do wonder, though... Could the same machine learning systems be used to analyze the output and make a reasonable guess as to how it's determined? Or, better yet, could the algorithm itself be programmed to produce some secondary output the describes how it's currently working? I realize that this output might end up being nigh nonsensical to a human reader because of the sheer volume of signals it considers, but might still yield some interesting insights!
It would be very interesting if one of these funny or jokey papers turn out to be actually true in the future.
No doubt The Flying Spaghetti Monster approves of pasta markers.
That's what I needed. One more reason to despise April Fool's Day.
Imagine spening months to years developing and formulating an idea with a dedicated team spending many many hours writing a paper and preping ot to be published then someone telling you to delay your possible lifes work becuase it would be mixed up with a flood of joke papers!
With only books and meetings 😊
Been watching you for years and its so awesome hearing you say cringe 😂
Greetings from the BIG SKY
Every day is the 1st April ... on the weather report in the UK !
7:40 The actual answer is Tortoise.
The value of pi is what is permitted by plain geometry, but with curved surface the value will change.
@@jackwoods7070 ...and many others situations.
The best science April Fool's joke is one that is still scientifically valid despite the obvious humourous intent...
How many black holes with a mass nearing that of the universe? This was my favorite of the jokes you presented. A black hole that size would be amazing not to mention multiple black holes. How many are suggested?
A giant black hole with the mass of a universe is another universe in the multiverse. I get it now.
7:31 ants
This is the biggest bowl of pasta word salad I have had in a while 😂
Lekker man
if (the size of the universe is infinite and it is flat) than even the largest black hole in it is infinitesimally tiny, and it contains an infinite amount of them.
Anton, you should do a video about the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the north east coast today and if the effects of the position of the moon and sun might have had anything to do with it. It was apparently a anomalous event.
Poczekaj cierpliwie do 8 kwietna, większy materiał
More likely that the earthquake will have moved the earth a little bit over to the left, and the eclipse now won't be passing over the Americas!
After the Feynman Point, how far to the next group of six? What about another Mod instead of Mod 10?
I did appreciate the Geology Hubb video that basically proposes that everyone in the continental US was going to be killed within a week or 2 when the biggest volcanic eruption man-kind has ever seen inevitably happened, I think originating from some very unremarkable millions of years extinct like… 30 foot cinder cone somewhere in the back of beyond that nobody would have heard of. Reason I respected the vid is because I was first turned off his channel by the voice he uses to read his material for whatever reason and if we are willing to think deep enough it also raises genuine points about science, communication, the media, and humans in general. I guess I feel it shows that through the paradoxes it mentions, my point being robot voice aside, I’ve come to like and generally trust the information and explanations on his channel as I do this one. …while I’m here Anton, thanks for all the long compilation vids. No insult meant, but I watch your vids for 2 reasons. To learn about science and recent discoveries I generally watch your dayly releases. But I love and have saved a lot of the 2 or 3 or more hour compilations because as basically a blind person and chronic insomniac I want to say thank you for the semi-routine gift of sleep. You can’t know how much I rely on you for that weird as it may seem and what an amazing gift it can be to be able to pass out for 2 or 4 or 5 hours when one hasn’t slept in 2 or 3 days. So thanks for both sides. Keep it up.
There are black holes that have masses of galactic mass.
This is why Science deserves more funding
Thanks Anton. I thought Vulcan was the planet that broke up into the asteroid belt. Offensive YT ads may affect your revenue this year.
I mean, is Pi the same at significant fractions of the speed of light, or near an event horizon, etc? :)
“Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.
Astrology is knocking at the gates of our universities: A Tübingen professor has switched over to astrology and a course on astrology was given at Cardiff University last year.
Astrology is not mere superstition but contains some psychological facts (like theosophy) which are of considerable importance. Astrology has actually nothing to do with the stars but is the 5000-year-old psychology of antiquity and the Middle Ages.
Carl Jung
Oh wow oh no oh wow oh no "lying the holiday" is scary omg...
Biologists really don't stare at basil leaves in Petri dishes
I read that some people want to set up a Moon Standard Time schedule because time runs at a different rate than on Earth.
Does that qualify as an April Fool's joke, Anton?
The storal of the mory is that too many eclipses can make a person crabby?
Some are funny! Thanks for the laugh. Missing was BH made of dark matter or better the new theory of nothing where universe is made at 99.9% of unknown form of matter energy.
What does it look like from the inside of a black hole. Is it possible we live in one? Everything being relative, how would we know? Is our black hole universe 13.7 billion light years in diameter? Was "The Big Bang" something more like this black hole universe beginning and how it would look from the inside? Ideas anyone?
Einstein, and Newton made hundreds of them every day. Also Pi doesn't have to be Pi in physics, because a circle divided physically can be quantized with gaps between it, and quantum physical circles probably do divide up with gaps between them. Also in physics you have spin, and rebound effects, and quantum tunnels. Crossing a spin circumference in one direction is a tunnel in a different direction. So X/Y are spin, and Z is a tunnel in dimensional physics. A spin radius is slower to cross than a tunnel, and a tunnel can have zero distance for entanglement, so that you have locality over several metres. Basically I'm saying that maths isn't physics.
I thought Black holes were invisable
The black box problem with AI is a REAL problem. But don't despaire/ Researchers are actually working on how to unbox these black boxes. It's just gonna take a while for it to happen.
I don't believe in Astrology however the Moon 🌏🌖has already according to NASA influenced as possibility the earthquake on the East coast in the USA I thought so right away as the Moon can affect tides in the ocean as well fairly strong enough (LOL ) pull or push Lol Thank you for these Take care hope you have a great week-end ☺
Earthlings and others that "redirect" with primitive devices are not quite ready for intergalactic billiards 😢 careful of where you direct it to. "The eyes of the beholder" a smart man said War Sucks
And hemorrhoids suck too 🔥
Okay, serious question. What would it take to stop our moon from running away?
I think they will take that secret to the grave.
I call weak anthropic principle on moon size matching sun size.
Now childrens, we will sit down and make macaroni pictures....

Comedy is serious science.
Milky way and the slightly bigger Mars bar
When I was in highschool, I heard that Canadian astronomers had discovered a galaxy near the Milky Way but hidden by dust. They named it Snickers. Not sure if it's a joke or not.
5:27 "creatively pragmatic theory"?
the funny part is, people that are dumb enough to believe in astrology having any predictive power, will never understand the astronomy joke, using astrology as a punching bag.
_All of your April fools are now belong us._
This hard scifi
I'm waiting for the paper on the moon is made out of cheese
I think a lot of these papers are published on April 1, as cover - Ahhhahahaha... just kidding... I totally got you 🙄
Ahhh, April Fools a great holiday! Great paying $2.3 Billion for a confuser that determined Pi to 159 integers past the decimal point, money well spent. The old "Big Black Hole Gag," it never gets old.
Jokes aside, since we know starts often eat their planets, could Vulcan have actually been real at one point? Only to get gobbled up by the sun.
Stars that are suspected to have eaten planets have higher metallicity than our Sun.
@@RaimoKangasniemi Do we know the average metallicity of sun-like stars? Does our sun peak even a little bit above the average?
@@RaimoKangasniemisure but what if it ate a failed star.
@@kingnarothept6917 Older studies claimed that the Sun was more metal rich than Sun-like stars of similar age; in recent years studies have shown that the Sun is very similar to other Sun-like stars in the solar neighbourhood in this regard.
@@orionx79 Brown dwarf? That could depend on the metallicity of the brown dwarf. But a brown dwarf in our solar system during its early existence would likely have had a major impact on planet formation and planetary orbits.
you wouldn't see those ridiculously large black holes if you were in the event horizon of one and now would you? and it has been proposed legitimately proposed that our universe is trapped inside the event horizon Of a super massive black hole.
Add on the Big Bang theory, and the current state of cosmology 🤦🏻♂️
❤️👍
I'm having pasta for dinner.
😂🤣🤣his facial expressions are hilarious
Sounds to me like Ted Nugent is going to buy a space shuttle and fly it next April 1!
And thus as a joke, Anti gravity came to light. Whoops !
Stupendously Large Black Holes solving Hubble Tension....
So basically, April Fools is a great time for the scientific community to unintentionally think outside the box!
