I really, really appreciate you using the character's speed on slowness as the standard to the speed of light, and using that to create the scale. That's really genius and super caring. Love it.
By the way, if you didn't really pay attention at the end, Alexa did really say that it would be impossible to represent the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri in a Minecraft world. We all know how the worldborder is so far out and that a Minecraft world is 8 times bigger than Earth, but even in a scale where the Earth is just a couple centimeters in size, that huge amount of space is not enough to accurately depict the interstellar distance.
Fun Fact: The furthest known stellar object is a quasar whose light was sent 560 million years into the universe's existence. In the time it would take to travel to it at light speed, we could travel to Alpha Centauri... 8,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times.
Fun fact: The darkest planet ever discovered in the universe is the planet TrES-2b, it is blacker than a coal, and even trough it is close to its star, it reflects only 1% of its light.
If he walked at the speed of light and didn't cut between walks to the different planets it would have been better. But it also would have been like 10 hours long lol
I love that this isn’t just a Minecraft specific video, it’s actually a really interesting concept that everyone would enjoy. Great work, you’ve done an incredible job so keep it up!
About the speed you showed for the speed of light, if the Sun was somehow extinguished, we would not feel it's effects for 8 minutes if we are still on Earth.
@@TheCutePyro thank you for taking my comment at face value. For a full explaination: i was making a comment based on what i was taught. that pluto is not a recognized planet in our solar system anymore because of it being too small to classify hence as you so wonderfully highlighted it is a dwarf planet. My comment was not meant to upset or offend you or anyone else. It was simply a jest. A joke if you will. I respect people regardless of height and see them as they are. As I said, pluto is and always will be a planet in my heart just as people with dwarfism are people. So please, understand I was merely making a joke and it was not meant to be politically correct.
I don't normally comment, but I loved this video so much. I love astronomy and I adore things that scale the distances in the solar system correctly. So great job :)
I love this. But I one day wanna see it where they actually are in rotation. Ppl often have the planets in a nice little line, which is good for knowing how far planets are from the sun, but not from each other. When they on opposite sides of the sun, its a massive distance.
if not in straight line, some trigonometric calculations are needed. at least if distance from sun is known, take Law of Cosine for both planets to know their distance.
@@tiramizu8519 absolutely correct according to these calculation at every time around the year mercury is the closest planet to any other planet in our solar system
Weird space fact: Space is a lot closer than most people think. If you live in Portland, Oregon, or Sacramento, California, space is closer than the ocean. Most of getting to space is more speed, not lift. The International Space Station travels about 8 km per second. If you fired most powerful rifle on the planet on a football field/pitch (either kind), the ISS would clear the stadium before the bullet went ten yards.
A class would love this. Kids joining a server to learn about space. It would look good in the space-like environment of the End dimension. Also Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, Eris are other dwarf planets in our system.
It's actually a little too fast in this model. With Slowness 2 + Crouching it would reach earth in 6.7 minutes (he used slowness 2) Slowness 3 + Crouching would reach the earth in 8.5 minutes (Real life is on average 8.3 minutes) The Earth was 368 meters away in this model, and with Slowness 2 + Crouching the player moves at a speed of 0.906m/s. Slowness 3 + Crouching is 0.715m/s
Fun fact: Contrary to what many people think, Mercury is not the hottest planet in the Solar System, as much as it is closer to the Sun, the hottest planet is Venus. While Mercury's temperature is 427 degrees in a side and -182 in the other, on Venus, the temperature reaches 471 degrees.
Yup, Mercury may have a much higher surface temperature on the side facing the Sun, but the side facing away from the Sun can get nearly as cold as the moon at night, and the craters on the poles even perpetually contain water ice. Venus, on the other hand, is almost entirely the same temp with little variation. Atmosphere makes all the difference.
Really, really cool video, I'm happy that you also added voyager one and proxima centuri, if I could rate this out of 10, it would be a solid 9.5/10 only because you could've added the asteroid belt too
so that the lava doesn't fall, in addition to using a barrier, you can use this void block structure that can only hold water or lava and cannot be touched.
You ever think about how the hell astronomers even found Pluto in the first place even though it's a complete speck of rock that's almost 40 times further away from us than the sun?
Cool little thing you'll love about this: go back in this world and go back to the earth, and then look at the Sun again. Depending on how accurate your scale is, the sun in MC should look approximately the same size as the one in our real life sky!

We had to do this but with actual models in real life. At first, we thought the teacher meant like an artistic representation but upon further consideration……yeah we walked half the length of our city.

Bro, you are a god damn GENIUS!!! That’s the perfect strategy to stop other people from stealing your ideas
I love how the speed of light is actually so slow
Depends on the scale
Takes 8 mins to go from the Sun to Earth
It’s not that light is slow it’s just that space to so absurdly huge that 99% of it is just empty space
It's actually a little too fast in this model.
With Slowness 2 + Crouching it would reach earth in 6.7 minutes (he used slowness 2)
