      They took out Jim's voice, and added radio active foreground sound. hehe

      something went wrong when it was uploaded into youtube? That can't be the way the BBC would have put it up "IN REAL LIFE" .... As everyone has mentioned, there are parts that you can't hear him explaining important information .. e.g. its not when hes just ranting on about humans being "amazing"....

    Man, my dad was a PhD in physics from Cambridge university and worked at Cal Tech in the 70’s finding quasars as a radio astronomer, and I’m just a lowly CPA. But at age 53, I’m becoming more and more convinced my true path should have been somehow in this incredible field. It’s a real passion of mine. I just got dumbed down by my mom the librarian considerably, so the math is just light years beyond my ability unfortunately. Stephen Hawking’s books started my journey down the rabbit hole about ten years ago and these vids are treasure for me, thank you!

    Atoms truly are the foundational building blocks of our universe! It's fascinating to think about how these tiny particles combine to create everything we see around us, from stars to planets to living organisms. What roles do you think atoms play in the formation of different celestial bodies? How do the interactions between atoms differ in extreme environments, like those found in the cores of stars or black holes? And considering that we are made of stardust, how does understanding atomic structures deepen our connection to the cosmos? I'd love to hear what others think!

    Praggy Pops obviously didn't read my comment very carefully. I complained about BACKGROUND NOISE, not about HEARING the video. Noise is a different problem than sound volume that is set too high or too low. In this instance, it's impossible to separate the BACKGROUND NOISE from the person's voice. In simple terms, Sound of Voice = GOOD; Background Noise = BAD. And no, I never listen to loud music, through ear buds or otherwise. My hearing is just fine.

      FORMULATED WAX WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF ANIMAL AND HUMAN LIVES ……….
      If we don’t fix our broken planet soon we will be leaving our children in a world where humans will be at the extinction level, including all living creatures on our Earth. because mankind since the beginning of the industrial revolution have been poisoning the air that we have been breathing for all these years. The many poisons are uncultivable and are accumulative within the body, such as the world-wade spread of the long half-life radiation escaping from Nuclear power plants, radioactive exposed waste material and leaking structures and buildings structures housing radioactive material. A natural cause of cancer and early death is from breathing into your lungs Radon Gas that kills over 21,000 every year, it seems that most humans are unaware of this because just like any radiation, you can’t see, smell, or hear, you only feel the results, which is a painful slow death. and it is here to stay unless mankind puts a stop for it NOW and not let our children have to deal with it in the future, but it is almost too late. The Carbon released into the atmosphere from industrial smokestacks has darkened our skies and settling on the ice and snow thereby absorbing the heat of the sun causing the melting resulting aiding the sea to rise. These problems can be solved only by the overlooked subject of formulated wax. Wax is one of the most overlooked subjects in the world for its use in solving most all mankind created pollution. This will be the only text written on this subject, Environmental scientists are trying to solve highly technical problems without success. They must look backwards to solve today and the future pollution using simple, noncomplex, basic non-technical, just elementary thinking. If we do not act now, the accumulated pollution will become irreversible by the time our children are grown up. When they are, they will force the arms of governments to implement these confirmed solutions. . Formulated wax has been demonstrated in Chernobyl showing how to prevent Plutonium dust particles from escaping into the environment through open seems in the shady steel constructed Sarcophagus of Chernobyl’s blown out reactor # 4 It was also demonstrate showing how to cocoon buried highly radioactive rusting steel to then be re-buried for long safe burial thereby preventing the rust from transmigration into the water table, and if not cocooned the rust particles will transmigrate through the ecosystem. Plutonium, PU 239 has a half-life of over 24,000 years and not going away in our lifetime or our grandchildren and for generations before them. So again, we must act now. Formulated wax has even been demonstrated showing how to remove crude oil or any type of fuel including gasoline from water, beach sand and rocks in a very short time. View, Wax For Oil Spills on RUclips to see demo. The list goes on for formulated wax uses and its proven achievements. Formulated wax if used properly, will save millions of human and animal lives. Lastly, in 1958 I discovered and coined the word, WAXOGEN which can be used as a rocket fuel in the future

      John Walker System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
      1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
      2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
      3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
      4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
      5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
      6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
      7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
      8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
      9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
      10, Always try to give more than you take.
      Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
      🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
      People are controlled by system why?
      The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
      Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
      😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

    Yo there's one thing I don't get maybe somebody could clear it up: So all the atoms kinda wanna become Iron because it's most stable. So under enough pressure and heat lighter elements fuse to heavier ones, becoming more similar to Iron while atoms heavier than Iron split to become more similar, right? Allright so we got stars fusing hydrogen to helium and when they go supernove the helium and hydrogen fuse to even heavier atoms like oxygen or carbon... pretty much to everything in between hydrogen and Iron. So the question is: how is the stuff made that's more heavy than Iron? If only hydrogen and helium were created in the beginning that means that atoms like uranium had to be created from lighter ones, correct? So why would these keep fusing past becoming Iron to get even heavier? Doesn't everything want to be as similar to Iron as possible because it's most stable? Shouldn't atoms heavier than Iron be unable to fuse to even heavier ones?
    Hope this question isn't that stupid...

      @planpitz4190 6 лет назад +2

      Because of the very high temperatures and immense gravity in very large stars that evolve into supernovas gold uranium and other very heavy atoms are formed out of lighter elements that are squeezed and forced together past the stable iron stage .These very heavy elements are then spewed into colder space slowly radiating and decaying into lighter ones.

      Large stars fuse beyond helium, the largest ones fuse up to iron; but because iron is energy absorptive, once a star begins producing it, the star no longer radiates the energy necessary to hold back its own gravity.
      While the end result is that the star explodes, the explosion is preceded by an implosion. It is that implosive force, which fuses elements beyond iron; and the energy produced by all of that fusion occurring in a matter of seconds, causes the star to explode.
      I hope that helps.

    Certainly We sent Our apostles with manifest proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that mankind may maintain justice; and We sent down iron, in which there is great might and uses for mankind, and so that Allah may know those who help Him and His apostles [with faith] in the Unseen. Indeed Allah is all-strong, all-mighty.
