I would like to thank you guys for your really hard work on this channel! I can't imagine how long it takes to create just one video like this one! Two months? More? To search, organise the material, to record (and all the re-recordings!!! hehe), to edit and finally publish... GOSH! Do you guys know how much you're helping those interested in these matters? It is priceless, indeed! Things we're carrying here and there we pass from generation to generation, and... Well, I got a bit excited! Anyway! Thank you very much for sharing such knowledge in such a way!
Your kind message means so much to us. So nice to meet someone else who loves learning and teaching. We do work hard on our videos - we love this material, and we learned from such excellent teachers over the years. We really want to make mini educational movies that will stand the test of time! So many people want to learn but don't have the opportunity. But RUclips and other platforms can change all that! We visited your channel and subscribed. Your Norwegian class via Skype is a great idea! Everyone, check this out: ruclips.net/video/CeBfJc4NpWY/видео.html
Hi there! WOW! When I read it I was like, speechless! I am very glad indeed to know you visited my channel as well that you recommended my classes here! Serious! And about your ideal with Socratica; you said exactly what I think! To keep it in mind, that so many of us truly want to learn about these themes: philosophy, astronomy, languages, etc (as you noticed I am one of them), but simply don't have any reference or they are unreliable. You, with this channel, are not only giving us these references but also teaching us A LOT through your videos! So once again, thank you very much! You know, actually I try to do the same with my videos (despite the fact they are all basically in portuguese, so... sorry), in which I talk mainly about the perception of reality, what is reality, consciousness and spirituality (regarding some eastern philosophies and norse mythology), without dictating anything, obviously, in an attempt to help those who have been asking me for some kind of guidance in a Facebook page of mine, as well personally. Do you have any Facebook profile/page? Because recently I started an amateur album on it in which I publish some photos I've been taken of the night sky, where I explain about the constellations, the stars, planets, clusters, etc... Maybe you would like! Peace!
Socratica, I love your Astronomy Videos... and have been watching them for 1.5 years. Please MAKE MORE VIDEOS in future about planets, Gravitational lensing, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and many more... :) Thank You
We are so glad you are enjoying our videos!! Thank you so much for writing and letting us know you have been our longtime fan. This makes us so happy!! More videos coming soon! :)
I would advice you guys to try contact channels like SciShow/Crash Course, although groups like Kurz gesagt and Tell me Why are way more accessible to talk with them (especially the first one, they always answer on reddit)
The only such stars capable of emitting and using Electrons are N class stars hence the name Neutron Stars. The force Electron Degeneracy is what prevents the White Dwarf from shrinking any further. Photons however are produced in the cores during Nuclear Fusion and are often referred to as Light carrying Packets.

Would you mind sharing the name of the small musical piece that was utilized @4:22 when Liliana begins to discuss Thermal Pulse. Thanks! Looking forward to you're new videos.
White dwarves need a support group, where they can get together and express their concerns, share their experiences, and reassure each other that they are not alone in the universe.
But… Ultimately, with enough and sufficient passing of time, white dwarfs will be alone. Trillions of year’s from now white dwarf stars and black holes will be the last remaining objects in the cosmos. So yea they will be extremely and completely all alone adrift through the cosmos to live and live and live what will surely seem like an eternity
2 identical particles cannot occupy the same space if they are Fermions, like electrons in white dwarfs undergo degenerate pressure. Bosons occupy the same space and they are identical to each other. Be careful with this fundamental difference. So the Pauli exclusion principle is exclusive to Fermions. Great little video as usual.
Truly, have seen so many science related RUclips channels... But this one is undoubtedly the BEST... Respect ma'm... My good wishes.. I am with this channel..
Thanks but some small corrections would be needed: 0:53 actually, the fusion in the first step of a star evolution merges 4 H atoms, not 2, into 1 He 1:25 it doesn't depend on the initial mass of the star but on the mass. Imagine a small start merging later in life with another and thus increasing its current mass but not the initial smaller mass. Which mass dictates its evolution? 2:35 I would avoid using here "dark matter" as it usually means something else entirely.
+Socratica thanks! I like your video! Really polished. It's what I aim for one day...obviously my videos are a bit rustic at this point in time :/ Cheers for watching. I have to share this video on my facebook and twitter. It's educational! I'd like to see videos on branes or primal black holes :)
That's so kind of you to say, thank you! Please share with all your friends and neighbors! :) We'd love to hear what other topics you'd be interested in.
even it's very cold in space, things do not cool down fast in space because space is a vacuum without matter, meaning heat can't be transferred, this is the reason why they keep there heat so long
Thank you for making my morning worth it. I just might have to subscribe because I’m fairly certain that I may have just found my new favorite RUclips channel…
I love your videos. I'm planning to become an astronomer when I grow up and these videos explain everything so perfectly! I bet all the dislikes are from people who don't understand the things you talk about.
Best subscribe pitch. I never subscribe, but you win, I feel bad for that button! Lol. PS. How bright will our white dwarf sun be compared to, say the full moon?

I wonder why I haven't seen this channel before! unlike Google which has pretty complicated stuff and can't understand the head tail (especially if you search stellar evolution) this channel got a subscribe and a share! (I believe they are interested in this)
Ok lots of questions 1 where are the electrons 2 protons 3 pressure =heat so at some point either heat loss stops or chemical composition changes 4 what holds it together with most mass shed there has to be something in the core heavier than white dwarf.
great video, I love the topic of astronomy... but what is the difrence between a super nova and a hyper nova? prehaps a cool idea for a new video: hyper nova's
This would be a great video! Hypernovas (aka 'collapsars') are really fascinating. A lot of the things in astronomy take millions of years to unfold, but in the case of hypernovae, everything happens on the order of seconds! We would probably have to show a hypernova unfolding in slow-motion in order to have time to point out all the cool things happening.
The level of quality in this videos ,for a channel that is below 50k subs, is amazing. You guys are giving us premium content, better than some channels that have close to 1mil subs (no namedrops). Keep up the good work and i hope you guys grow faster than this beacuse you deserve it!!! P.S. Im interested in what kind of background do you have in science, and how much time does it take to research for 1 vid? Thank you in advance!
Your comment really put a smile on our faces! We do work very hard on each video - we usually write scripts over the course of several weeks, and they go through several rounds of fact-checking. Then we film and edit the videos. We're a small team at Socratica, and most of the writing is done by our founders, who both got their undergrad degrees at Caltech. Michael Harrison is a mathematician who is also a programmer (former Googler) and loves astronomy. Kimberly Hatch Harrison is a molecular biologist, who was a scientist for many years, and then taught Chemistry and Biology. She also holds a degree in English Literature. So we all take turns writing, filming, and editing. We sure hope we continue to grow. Everyone - share our videos! Tell your friends who blog about STEM! We've got to get the word out. Meanwhile, we'll keep making videos. :)
Socratica Yeah, its amazing how much time you put in this videos considering you dont really make a living out of this. So thank you one more time for using your free time to educate us about wonders of universe!!
Chipsy Chips You are so welcome! Yes, we're hoping that gradually we will grow large enough to be self-sustaining. In the meantime, we need to pace ourselves. It's also helping that we are starting to get some supporters on Patreon. Every bit helps! We'd love to hear what topics you are most interested in - we're writing and filming more videos all the time...
Socratica Well my passion is astronomy (that's why I'm studying physics) and I would love to see more videos on that, but some that explain a bit more complicated phenomena (but that is just me :) ). But right now I am really enjoying your abstract algebra series, because I need it for my college. So more math and astronomy would be perfect if you ask me, and i think most people enjoy to watch those videos as well. Oh and please, no matter how big you get (i hope its BIG), don't get lazy and don't feel pressured to put out more and more videos. Quality before quantity. Some of the best channels out here are those that don't care about quantity of their videos, but for their quality. And of course there are a lot of examples where channels disregarded quality of their videos just so they could pump out more of them, and that was there doom. I hope you choose former :D
Chipsy Chips More astronomy and abstract algebra on the way for sure! We so agree about your "quality vs. quantity" point. We're always trying to make videos that we would have loved to have when we were students. We do get pressure all the time to make more videos - faster/cheaper - but we have standards we really are determined to keep up. It's a real pleasure chatting with you! Best of luck with your studies. :)
I always thought that white dwarfs were fierce little strange stars no larger than the earth yet containing a million times its mass. And i thought that little red dwarf stars took trillions of years to die out. Very interesting.
Thank you for your kind message! We have a small team of writers/producers/hosts/editors at Socratica - between us, we figure we have about 7 or 8 degrees. :) We always loved learning and teaching. Now we can share all the things we love on RUclips!
4:21 helium shell flash is actually the stars helium burning phase that is it burns helium instead of hydrogen so the star becomes 40℅ luminous like our sun will In 3.75 to 4 billion years
I dream a time where Socratica's team works in the TV industry and has so much budget to broadcast a new but way longer video every day.. A sort of Focus. I hope this dream realizes quickly
Thank you!! That's our dream, too! (Though maybe we'd be a better fit for Netflix. ;) Right now we're able to release one video each week, but as we grow we'll be able to make more and longer videos. We grow by word of mouth, so if you know of anyone who might like our channel, please send them our way! :)
"The pull of gravity is no longer strong enough to keep fusion going". True in a strange way. How about the star runs out of fuel to burn which normally runs reactions that resist the collapse due to gravity? I guess as the star uses less and less suitable fuel, the gravity required would be greater and greater to make these less suitable elements react. Or? I am not a nuclear physicist.
One star says to another: I have a tiny almost invisible companion.
The other star says: Are you sirius?
That is hilarious 😂
pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Noel Dakota yup, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
Very well presented, Astronomy is magical to say the least.
I've watched it several times and it simply gets better. You did a great job - well explained, well articulated and very interesting.
my kids and I enjoy pretty much every video that you folks make. keep up the great work!

love ur hairstyle...also fascinating video
Thank you Socratica! Another great astronomy video :)
Thank you for watching! We're so glad you are enjoying our astronomy series. :)
You guys definitely deserve a ton more views and subscribers
Fantastic video.
Guys, you are good. I have watched dozens of videos on evolution of stars but heard many of the terms today for the first time.
2 identical particles cannot occupy the same space if they are Fermions, like electrons in white dwarfs undergo degenerate pressure. Bosons occupy the same space and they are identical to each other. Be careful with this fundamental difference.
So the Pauli exclusion principle is exclusive to Fermions.
Great little video as usual.
Very precise and simple explanation. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein.
Truly, have seen so many science related RUclips channels... But this one is undoubtedly the BEST... Respect ma'm... My good wishes.. I am with this channel..
She is definitely going places in the Astronomy/Cosmology field’s of Science.
And that's how you earned a new subscriber. I am genuinely glad to find out about this channel
We're so glad you have found us!! We'd love to hear about which subjects you are interested in.
Thanks for the response! Any Astronomy videos will do for me.
Gorgeous explanation
the video presentation is amazing. im learning and entertained at the same time
I really like all of your videos its all about knowledge
Well made video and very well explained. Loved it!
The joke at the end was so funny, I subscribed.

Can i just say, i have viewed several of these now, and find them both informative and very easy to understand. Very well done, keep up the good work!
I'm doing a school project on a thing i think is interesting, and i chose the white dwarf. And this video has been extremely helpful!
This channel deserves more likes and subs
That's so kind of you to say, thank you! Please share with all your friends and neighbors! :) We'd love to hear what other topics you'd be interested in.

When is the next Astronomy coming then? Please don't make us wait another 8 months :) I really like these videos
The next one should be ready in another week or two. :) Going forward, we're hoping to release a new astronomy video each month.
Intresting presentation

Please do more great videos with less dramatic ends.
Thank you❗💯🙏🏼
Perfectly explained..
really knowledgeable
good work, keep it up
so far your videos are great thank you please give us more
I love their video tutorials on Python programming. I just hope they create some more videos on specific python libraries like pandas and matplotlib
Upload more videos for astronauts, please

Do white dwarfs fuse anything in their core? Or they just radiate the energy by vertue of their high temperature?
nice postproduction.
Esse canal é a minha principal de fonte de astronomia e de listening no inglês :)
The way u r telling to subscribe... actually it makes me subscribe u r channel✌️
yes i enjoy ur chanel 😁
Thank you, socratica
This channel is amazing 👌🏿
You are so kind! Thank you for watching and leaving us such a nice comment. It inspires us to make more videos!! :)
I dream a time where Socratica's team works in the TV industry and has so much budget to broadcast a new but way longer video every day.. A sort of Focus. I hope this dream realizes quickly
Thank you!! That's our dream, too! (Though maybe we'd be a better fit for Netflix. ;) Right now we're able to release one video each week, but as we grow we'll be able to make more and longer videos. We grow by word of mouth, so if you know of anyone who might like our channel, please send them our way! :)
MOAR!!!!!! .... please
Love your videos
Thanks! We just filmed a whole bunch of astronomy videos. The next one should be ready in a few more weeks.
hey, nice video there.Great explanation.
I had a lingering question in my head: What is Eddington paradox ?
Maybe it will make a good video.
What are difference among Helium White Dwarf, Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf and Oxygen-Neon-Magnesium White Dwarf？
Wow i like it. It's amazing fact that you had said about it.
"The pull of gravity is no longer strong enough to keep fusion going". True in a strange way. How about the star runs out of fuel to burn which normally runs reactions that resist the collapse due to gravity? I guess as the star uses less and less suitable fuel, the gravity required would be greater and greater to make these less suitable elements react. Or? I am not a nuclear physicist.
