      Sorry, I have to bad-mouth Tyson. Because I was studying and teaching on Nikola Tesla before Tyson was teaching. Over 50 years ago. Long before Anyone else ever heard of, or spoke of Tesla.

      @@sandasturner9529 Three good reasons for negativity:
      1. On.other videos, Tyson speaks of Tesla. Explaining why Tesla's model of wireless power transmission won't work. But, Tyson is Ignorant of HOW it really works. Having never read the patents, and jumping to conclusions. Yet he pontificates. This disqualifies Tyson's credibility -- as both a scientist and an educator.
      2. Tesla was both a scientist And engineer. Meaning that he discovered whole new principles and founded new branches of science. Then, he engineered (developed / perfected / proved) Practical inventions which utilize those principles. Devices which actually Solve human Problems. Conversely, all Tyson can do is help to declassify Pluto as a planet. And spew out a lot of gee-wiz sound bites.
      3. Tesla was dead set against most of the esotetic theories which Tyson and his side-kick, the talking wheel-chair, scheme up. By pure juggling of math. With No experimental verification.

      Light.. is everything.. to be without it.. if any do experience that.. life in the darkness.. must be such a muted existence.. (thinking of Alaskans & the cave fish or the deep) the shining beauty never being realized.
      Would there be accomplishments without consistent energy? None that people could utilize. Without light accomplishments would be dim & unrecognizable. With inconsistent light it would be unproductive as well.

      @@eliyarrows2456 It depends on which frame of reference is used to measure the photons. To a photon at the speed of light, there is no time, no matter when it was made. From our sun, measured from Earth, it takes about eight minutes. But sunlight also includes wave properties, which are made about eight minutes before reaching the Earth. So, speaking of sunlight, there is ancient energy and photons created long ago in the sun, but the light we see takes about eight minutes to reach us from our frame of reference. At least, that's how I currently understand it all.

    He explains this further in longer videos, how each photon

  • @adamaa39
    @adamaa39 2 месяца назад

    I actually knew that. It's because (afaik) hydrogen fusion happens in the center of the sun and the density around the center is so huge it takes millions of years for the photons to escape.

    We perceive 3 dimensions of space, but we can only interact with space on 2 dimensions. Every time you jump or go up a flight of stairs, you are just accessing an additional layer of 2D space, you aren't achieving 3D interaction.

  • @techracer2003

    Technically, these photons were absorbed and reemitted at random direction inside this huge nuclear fusion furnace with extreme pressure created by gravity, then finally leaked out of the surface after +10^7 years.

  • @henryarbaugh7255
    @henryarbaugh7255 8 месяцев назад

    The reason for that extreme length of time is this: the matter in the core of the sun is extremely dense. The atoms are so close that the photons trying to reach the surface can only travel a very small distance outward before they ‘bounce off’ and atom back towards the center, the side, or some other tangential direction. It has to do this for a very long time before eventually finding a path to the surface. Think about how long it takes to cross a crowded room vs. an empty one.

    And that’s why neutrinos are so important! Unlike the energy created inside the Sun, which takes, as Neil said, many many years to escape it, neutrinos react waaaay less than any other particle. That means that as soon as they get produced by the same energetic mechanisms that take millions of years to escape, they can travel the 8 minutes and something separating us from the Sun and give us an “instant screenshot” of the Sun’s inside!

    I love how he twisted his words (energy?) just to make sure that if he was incorrect he wouldn't get in trouble for being wrong. How long did it take for the heat from the Sun to reach the Earth? That's the bigger question. Is he saying that light and heat both travel at the same speed?

  • @joermnyc
    @joermnyc 5 месяцев назад

    This tells me the inside of the sun is very dense, since once it gets to the surface it’s finally able to hit the speed of light.
    This also tells me if the sun suddenly vanished, we’d have only 8 minutes and 20 seconds of sunlight left.
