Having recently completed my 82nd orbit around this incredible star, I am left in awe of the mysteries that I will not be around to see unfold, but I will continue to be fascinated by those which you bring to my screen. Thanks Alex, you too are a 'star'.
I have a degree in physics, and it still blows my mind that we figured all of this out less than 100 years ago. It was brand-new science while my grandparents were alive. We may think we're an advanced society, but our scientific history pretty much all fits into the past 400-500 years (sorry, Archimedes--still love ya).
Absolutely agree! The genius of the scientists over the past century is astonishing. The fact that science advances exponentially along with technology has really made the field discover new science in mind blowing ways. It never ceases to amaze me how brilliant the people who were able to conceive these things!
@@SeauxNOLALady I think what makes both exponential is not that science and technology grow beside each other, but rather they grow because of each other. Every massive advancement in science such as the transistor within semiconductor physics led to things technological innovations like computers gaining massive amounts of computational power that allowed science again grow and to run simulations and solve more complex differential equations that led to even more technology and you see how it goes. Without each other they would likely be very slow growing, but together, they grow inextricably fast.
Don't be so cocky. We still can't explain a lot of things based on the standard model. Example, why are sun spot colder than the surface of the sun although they expose a deeper layer?! Why a lot of stars novae multiple times when it's possible for them to novae only once?!
@@nawalinizar what are you yapping about? Where was this “cocky” comment. And what do any of these comment have to do with claiming that we know a ton of stuff.

Alex, this work is truly enlightening. How could anyone who opens their mind up long enough to play with the ideas that you've shared here ever close it down again and be filled with enough anger, hatred or fear to invade countries, destroy cities and murder people? Scientific education is a magic bullet for our species' ills. I loved your invitation to look at the next sunrise and marvel at the distance through space and time that the photons hitting my retinas have travelled. Opening up to this beauty (with all its tantalising as-yet-unknowns) brings humility, perspective and proportion to our often ego-centric lives. Thank you once again for your passion and the skill with which you share your knowledge.
It is awesome that we have a resource like RUclips, I wish they were teaching young people how to use it to get educated. I'm not saying I have a working knowledge of this stuff but I do love the fact that I can learn about it and not be an expert, it is a great way to spend 30 minutes
I love this video! I would be interested in more information on Helium 3 as it’s something I hear we might be mining on the Moon one day. It bent my Dad’s mind when I suggested to him that a photon took this long to reach the surface of the Sun years ago. Storyblocks Rocks!
You're a great teacher alex, i never really thought I'd be able to understand nuclear fusion, you broke it down very clearly. I have learned so much from your videos
Thank you, Alex. ☀ Since I prefer city-living, I've only ever been fortunate enough to live at the elevation in which I could enjoy sunrises/sunsets. They were always appreciated.
It's like you make the perfect masterpiece and there's always gonna be someone that finds the two letters that are out of place. That's why prefer smaller audiences.
Thank you Alex! You are always so interesting. I don't understand one thing about math, but I can think along the lines of theoretical physics and figure out a great deal about the way the Cosmos works and I've always been fascinated. One of my favourite things to do is to lean back with the sun on my face and to describe to someone nearby what each proton had to go through to land there and warm my face. Always a great place to lose myself during my lunch break!
it's interesting to think that a photon from the sun in that next sunrise you mention, started its journey before we had left Africa, and, that one that is released in the core while that sunrise is taking place may well arrive long after we are no more.
The sun already has become a white star. this was first observed around 2000's but the public hasn't been told because scientist couldn't explain how the sun rapidly changed colors.
An ancient text talks about the ego sun going dark for a 1000 year day. Dynamic exponential explosion of diversity will occur. The new form to inhabit will be different, and you won't know, again., all along the Gardner to be.
@@nathandouglas624 Scientist have discovered that other stars are moving into a cloud of gas in this galaxy a space where dense gasses exist and those stars have all disappeared. they can't explain it but my best guess is... Those stars have shifted out of our dimension into a different dimension. And the same will happen to us once we cross into it. So our White Sun is very active atm and this will continue.
Despite skepticism, the remarkable story of human physics exploration has produced an awe-inspiring story about stat light formation. I do not doubt there's infinitely more to know about this story, but this does not by any means diminish the achievements of human physics.
....you really don't understand this? 🤦♂️ there is no "north" in space. you can make the sun "set" wherever you want by changing where you are looking at the earth from. also, the sun can't rise or set when you have no horizon
Okay long time subscriber and patron member here: This was a curve ball episode. A real knock out! Top 5 Best Astrum Videos of All Time. This edit and story structure really change my perspective on the sun. Wow... Really well done!
I didn't realize that the destruction or breakdown of planets are what feed the birth of new ones. Like the way decaying plants feed new ones. Plants and planets - more in common than you'd think.
Jeans instability does not work on its own. There are aspects of formation we are just now beginning to work out. It is evident that electromagnetic interactions play a large role as well. Another point involves the Sun being called a gas or plasma. Under the extreme conditions within stars there exists states of matter we can only imagine at this time. It is likely that magnetism plays a role in enabling this plasma to form magnetic structures. Therefore within stars this plasma becomes more like a liquid and in the core it becomes a crystalline lattice.
It's wild to think that, on a cosmic scale, 4.5 billion years is basically enough time for our star to be created from the remnants of those before it for and those could have even been made from stars before it at the dawn of the universe. Makes you wonder how things were in the before times and if a part of me might be some from someone else.
i would love a videos covering all the stars from brown dwarfs to M type all the way to O type stars, those massive powerhouses of the universe fascinate me, thanks for the video
This is awesome and incredibly informative! It must have taken so long to create!! That being said, there are many typos that, unfortunately, detract from the overall fantastic video. I would be happy to help with that if you like.
Every now and again, the sun will appear so brilliantly orange in the morning sky, and vibrant orange light will beam through my window. I feel so at ease and happy when this happens, assuming I'm awake to see it.
The question I have always wanted answered is how do we know its the same photon that was absorbed and emitted. Surely if a photon is absorbed then it is a NEW photon that is emitted Does anyone have a definitive answer for this?
Correct. The photons that reach us are emitted in the outer layers, so it is more correct to say that the energy from nuclear fusion in the core takes millions of years to reach us, but it is just a technicality because the energy travels as a photon mostly.
@@gravitonthongs1363 Thanks. I always envisioned it as something like a newtons cradle, the ball at the beginning isn't the ball you see moving at the end even but its energy is transferred through each ball to move the ball at the end. I asked a physics teacher this question and he said it was the same exact photon but when challenged as to how he knew that he would not answer.
The sun is powered by a spiral birkland current from the star Sirius. The birkland current is a current feed of concentric circles distributing heavy elements in the center of the current and progressively lighter elements on outer concentric circles. This is why the outer planets are made of lighter elements than inner planets.
I'm sure Alex has brought it up before but the initial formation of our system was likely enriched by a neutron star merger that formed the "abundant" heavy elements we find here.

there is no "north" in space. you can make the sun "set" wherever you want by changing where you are looking at the earth from. also, the sun can't rise or set when you have no horizon

If so, why are we unable to Start Nuclear Fussion on earth? Passing the Coulomb barrier through a quantum tunnel?
We cannot achieve the densities of the solar core. So, fusion devices on Earth have to have much higher temperatures.
When a photon is absorbed then re-emitted, is it a new photon?
Yes, it is new.
EVERYTHING is old.
