Amazing discoveries ! It's really been a great month for science, except for, of course, Hawking's passing... I'm gonna sound like an over-sensitive baby but I wanna cry everytime I hear his name, he helped me enjoy science even more than I did, we studied some of his work in 8th grade physics class and it made me a space/science nerd since then... Thank you so much Mr Hawking, even though you can't read this... still.
The day humanity makes carbon nano tubes, graphine and room temperature superconductors (ie metallic hydrogen) in mass, technology will take ONE HUGE leap forward!
(1:07) Has anyone pointed out yet that it's not the superconductor, but rather the _magnet_ that floats. (At least in this experiment.) The superconductor is the coin shaped mass that is being cooled in a dish of liquid nitrogen. Then, when it's cold enough, you place a magnet over it and after you let go, it will float in midair. :)
YAY! THE WEBB TELESCOPE WILL BE HERE AND CONFIRM WHETHER THE TRAPPIST PLANETS (Rochefort, Westmalle, Westvleteran, Achel, Chimay, Orval, and Spencer) ARE LIFEY AND STUFF!
I look away for one second and when I look back all I see is Hank walking away mumbling about "all the science is done now". I got really upset for a second until I realized it was a joke lol
Hank & the team from SciShow would be unemployed if we ran out of sciencey stuff, so thankfully the more we discover, the more questions remain unanswered!
Why does SciShow switch between metric, imperial, and Both? Why not consistently list both since SciShow has an international audience? It takes away from the information having to do mental conversions.
Rumour has it that Webb will be launching in 2020 now and not 19!!! Even though it was meant to launch this year, and in 2017, and 2016, and 2015 and... .... .... Ok I haven't heard that rumour but feels like "Webb next year" has been said every year for the past 20 years.
That was just because it took longer to plan, review, and build than thought, it wasn't even done being built until 2016. Now, it is already done being built (the main parts), thus the estimated launch dates matter far more and are more accurate.
Its completely normal considering the challenge that building this telescope is. Scientists and engineers have to deal with new technologies while building it!
*so.. the superconductors were found in 2 meteorites, one of them a 9,980-kg meteorite in Australia.. cannot imagine that falling down right on my head :S*
Hmm, keeping superconductors cool would be a lot easier in space, and on other colder planets. I wonder what implications that has. Never thought about that before.
+Dan Nguyen Good point. Didn't think of what no atmosphere would do to heat dissipation. I guess its going to be a whole new set of challenges to get all that running.
"Virtually no resistance" Except, by definition superconductivity is the phenomenon of having exactly zero resistance, not "virtually", not infinitesimally low, exactly zero. Anything else isn't superconductivity.
The science is all done? lol IIRC, there was a claim that "all fundamental discoveries have now been made. Future generations will have naught to do but refine our decimal places." (loosly quoted) Keep up the good work.
what are the chances of the yet to be found/discovered elements that are in the elusive islands of stability (on the periodic table) will have superconductive properties?
So the superconductors in those meteorites only work at 3K. The background temperature of the universe is 3K. Basically, those things were superconducting while they were still in space.
I like the genuine, unscripted excitement that shines through when Hank says "I can't believe it's finally happening".
I love when Hank geeks out about stuff. Stay excited about science, Hank! (because I am too.)
This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips.
Could a superconducting meteorite get caught in the magnetic field of a planet like Jupiter and just float there?
"Science is done. All the Science got finished. Cya..." ROFL! xD

Your comment just exposed the vast emptiness and void of your thoughts.
It's as empty as deep space
+Paul Tremblay You might wanna watch the whole video and his comment will make more sense.
Also check your attitude.
if its as empty as deep space then that guy is smarter than infinite einsteins.
+Paul Tremblay Do you feel superior yet?
This is the kind of humor I've been missing

Tech will get a lot lighter as we move away from steel. But I do not know how they will make the Carbon Fiber/Composites chemical resistant
JohnSmith MGTOW They normally should be, they’re derived from graphite so it doesn’t really react chemically.
I would say I am shocked but I am a insulator.
I resist to conduct this joke any further
It's ELECTRIC! Boogie woogie oogie oogie!
lol I chuckled, enjoy the upvote :)
random post b/c i'm still troubleshooing for not getting notifications of comment replies.
World History With Dan what do you mean?
This was one of the best episodes in a while :)
Every time people think science is done it just keeps coming.
I can't believe JWST deployment was delayed again to next year
It got delayed to 2020 now!

That coax fitting needed to be replaced.
I always try to simulate the atmosphere of ice giants in the bathroom.
Methane.
I love this channel!! I’m the biggest space/organic chemistry nerd that is often confused for a door man/bouncer! Nerd in disguise ;-)
I just witnessed the brightest and most beautiful meteor I think I've ever seen, and then I sign on and find this new video! Crazy!

"Breaking news, science now knows everything"
Scishow- "Welp, we're outta a job, cya everybody, pack up your things, we're done here"
Superconductors are basically materials with very low magnetic permeability.
I cant wait for James Webb either. Had the oppertunity threw a past job to work on the project creating and assembling the mirror support structer.
Thanks you for the amazing video
I am SO hyped for the James Webb
JWST is always "1 year" away. I just hope its for realzies this time.
It’s delayed to 2021
@@foxythunder481 Hey, I'm from 2021. It got delayed again.
I want the "Hank fake-leaves-the-set because science is over" to be a meme.
Finally we found vibranium, bout damn time!

Never not excited about the James Webb Space Telescope!
Next year never comes. It's always this year.
Hank & the team from SciShow would be unemployed if we ran out of sciencey stuff, so thankfully the more we discover, the more questions remain unanswered!
Hank you are amazing and SCIENCE is amazing too...
tHank you he's saying!
'All the Science got finished' Hank Green, 2018.
"All the science is done!" is basically researching Future Technology in Civilization.
Why does SciShow switch between metric, imperial, and Both? Why not consistently list both since SciShow has an international audience? It takes away from the information having to do mental conversions.
I don't know them switching between systems has allowed me to be able to use both
*Muscle Hank* : Electric resistance are for the weak electrons!
5:12 my science teacher on the last day of school

Really really hard tasks don't always fit in to a preconceived timeline.
I think it's always been 2018, or at least it has been scheduled for 2018 since 2012
Its completely normal considering the challenge that building this telescope is. Scientists and engineers have to deal with new technologies while building it!
It even looks like it was made in Brazil.
*so.. the superconductors were found in 2 meteorites, one of them a 9,980-kg meteorite in Australia.. cannot imagine that falling down right on my head :S*
*I like writing in all bold for no reason too!*
Now imagine if you were a 40 story tall building and it fell straight down... boom, bye...
meteorites aren't hot enough to melt steal beams tho
Science: “But wait, there’s more!"
My buddy down the road grows the best haze, you don't even know 😂
Hope you guys cover Steve, the purple aurora soon
Almost 1 mil sub!
Even you could repel a weak magnetic field, Hank.
That's a snazzy shirt, Hank!

I read an article about cfd atmospheric simulation of planets before. Quite interesting 🤔
I find cfd in other realms of science a cool application,
And now James Webb won’t launch until 2021 😂
Don't scare me like that at the end! I was afraid funding had been cut or something.
Great vids!
The first time I heard the word superconductor as a kid I thought it was an orchestra conductor dressed up as superman.
yes, this is so cool!
5:17 wouldve been the perfect ending
"Virtually no resistance" Except, by definition superconductivity is the phenomenon of having exactly zero resistance, not "virtually", not infinitesimally low, exactly zero. Anything else isn't superconductivity.
Anatomy is already an example of a finished science. Maybe physics will be too at some point in time.
5:15 can you ACTUALLY even solve everything?

Always amazing what you teach me
Cool info !!
Can you make a video on the "change" in scott Kelly's Genes
Really COOL news
I tought James Wb Telescope was being launched this year. Did it got delayed?
The science is all done? lol
IIRC, there was a claim that "all fundamental discoveries have now been made. Future generations will have naught to do but refine our decimal places." (loosly quoted)
Keep up the good work.
Woo boy! I remember this!
what are the chances of the yet to be found/discovered elements that are in the elusive islands of stability (on the periodic table) will have superconductive properties?
I can honestly say I was here when this happened.
4:32 5 days left
This maybe explains why Oumuamua accelerated! ?
So the superconductors in those meteorites only work at 3K. The background temperature of the universe is 3K. Basically, those things were superconducting while they were still in space.
Yes
Technically, ESA will be the ones to _launch_ the LWST from their spaceport in French Guyana on an Ariane rocket.
The beginning of Wakanda? XD
Crash course guy XD
when you realize Jupiter is a checkpoint in our solar system we must use as fuel to leave
yep
goddamnit i thought it was room temperature super conductors.
don't bait me, scishow :(
What if the rocket carrying Webb blows up? Is there a backup Webb?
Is all the science done Hank?
Somebody should check the superconductive Ness of the pyramids
Look for super conductor properties in warmer temps.
Sounds like the off the scale portion of MRI.
Planetary Fog ? Why does that actually make sense...
*Muscle Hank* : Atmospheres are for the weak!
Is -200c cold?
The more you know!
Um... You've studied atmospheric hazes on PLUTO? Is that possibly a typo?
Could you use a superconductor in space to create a gigantic free energy cpu?
Wait. I thought the James Webb was supposed to launch THIS year.
I don't believe it's finally actually happening (JWST). Wasn't it supposed to launch THIS year?
what else is on and laat year....
Thing's gonna be obsolete before it sees first light.
maybe superconductors could be useful in space?
Breaking news. Science is done.
Haze 💨
Could science ever be finished?
Or philosphy?
Virtually no resistance? How about literally no resistance? That's the whole point of superconductors :).
Nice
What about graphene?
these aren't the superconductors you're looking for.
What would MFMMS do to an artificial satellite? like, if there was an alien voyager mission.
Well we better pray to the science Gods it doesn't blows up on launch
heads up, Hank!
Isn't graphene a superconductor?
I was really hoping you were going to pronounce MFMMS phonetically
