"astrology is a science" and then "i interpret the astrology to fit my desired result"
that is literally the antithesis of science..
Imagine if people did that with physics. Like gravity. "What does this ball want? If I throw it up it comes back down, therefore it wants to be with me. If I just let go of it then it falls to the ground, so it must want to get away from me. If I throw it, it won't come back because it thinks I don't want it."
Astrology and flat earthers make me so frustrated because they ignore logic and data and make up a narrative to fit their own views. And that's gotta be the worst way to live. You're life is basically a lie at that point, and you're too thick headed to even realize it.
So, astrology is NOT a science that's why arrogant people call it "pseudo-science" but then again, it's also true that it's NOT NOT-A-SCIENCE because, to be a "pseudo"-science it should be partially true/functional... So, Astrology is not a science because it involves the individual's interpretation of abstract factors that can't be pinned down to the point you can replicate it 100% of the times"... which is exactly the case with Psychology... "Oh, but we can see the chemical reactions on the brain!" Yes, and we can also measure the gravity of ALL planets on earth, but we can't prove their correlation with astrology's claims (because science just doesn't want to give astrology a chance, I mean its so easy to prove it's wrong but they don't because that's how science works when there's a new hypothesis that clearly shows some results) just like how psychologists can't prove which chemical reactions correlate to which trauma/stimulus/etc... so they're both pseudo-sciences.
haley you totally missed the boat on this.
@@JoeBrandAG astrology isn’t backed by empirical data, thus the claim that astrology being a science cannot be true. The claim that it can’t not be science is a redundancy to attempt to create a counter argument that is faulty at its root.
@@thelittleowl8399 go off king
„Psychology is not rooted in a scientific method but in a person‘s energy“
cries in statistics
Legit lmao I would not want her for a psych consult😂😂😂
I came to the comments section to group cringe at that statement.
Cries in psychological statistical methods in psychology and experimental psychology
Statistics yup, statistics yup yup
Imagine the reaction on your final exam from the opposer when you say "My thesis is rooted in my personal energy so i thought, no need to use ANOVA". :D
The issue I find with astrology is that it, inherently, can never be "wrong". Every inconsistency is shrugged off as an alternative interpretation.
which is why it’s not a science.
^^^ this can be applied to religion fr fr
@@qingxinn_facts!! if it does not have the ability to be falsified then nothing is really being said
@@ilTHfeaa exactly. Science isn't always as fun as astrology for this reason. It's much more about the external world telling you what's real rather than you discovering for yourself what's real. Which is why scientists will work for years to prove their theories and will often end up being wrong because that's just the way it works.
That is the definition of an unfalsifiable claim. The very basic minimal requirement of a scientific proposition is that it should be falsifiable.
The amount of times he said "energy" without it actually meaning anything was mind numbing
And when he kept saying "people actually sat down and figured this out"
“It’s a science because I use math” …honey I use math in dungeons and dragons that doesn’t make it a scientific pursuit
I used math to calculate resources in Minecraft too,math is merely a tool to describe basically the language of reality,we use these tool to describe a lot of stuff including science
BAHAHAHAHA amazing comment
Yeah umm i think he was the most radical one
AMAZING!
yup basically
This is like an actual proffesional blacksmith talking to a guy who crafted 10,000 axes in minecraft
As a Minecraft player I feel offended
Psh. Amateurs. Talk to me when you've crafted 1000 iron daggers in Skyrim.
Hit the nail on the head.
Thank you for this laugh, I needed it.
ahahhahahahahhahh
I respect these scientists for being able to stay so calm with these takes, as a physics student I wouldn't be able to stop myself laughing tbh
Im surprised the astronomers said something wrong. 13:50.
So the thing about that is that it is because of the speed of light, and it took that long for the light to reach you. But it's not only the speed of light. it's the maximum speed of the universe.
For example, if the Sun disappeared, we wouldn't know for around eight minutes. That's because that's how long the light would take to reach us. But it's not only the light. it's everything that affects us from the sun, like the gravitational pull. The gravitational pull wouldn't be noticed instantly ethier it would be noticed when we saw the light. That's because everything's maximum speed is the speed of light. So if this beetlejuice plant/star, i don't know what it is, disappeared, we wouldn't feel the effects of its disappearance until we saw the light.
Sorry if the English is bad, im only 15, and im not from an English speaking country.
Also, source: i learned this from watching a video from Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
@@altaccount9716 I believe you missed her point entirely, she's saying because it takes photons, gravity, cosmic rays, etc. *time* to propagate through space to reach us here on Earth; then how is it possible that Astrologers are using such celestial objects to make present-day claims about humanity, WHEN those same objects no loner currently exist in this present-day to be interpreted at all.
But there is a rebuttal/counterargument to this that could have been made by the Astrologers, but they're not versed enough in science to make this logical counterpoint
Bro astrology and physics don't have much in common. You are not more qualified to judge than any normie
@@ND7226bad take
@@ND7226they have very much in common what are you taking about
I love how every time the astronomers asked where did the association between certain planets and emotions came from the astrologers would simply start listing what planet is associated with each emotion.
Or how that guy said astrology has to be a science because they use math and charts

@@altaccount9716 While you're correct about the gravity, quantum entanglement seems to be defying that definition of "maximum speed of the universe". Sure, we both don't know anything about quantum mechanics, but it is what scientists are saying. Quantum entanglement would "travel" in space-time instantly, or so it seems.
@@viniwittkepretty sure this isn't true, and that quantum entanglement can't actually allow transfer of any amount of information faster than the speed of light. There is what appears to be "simultaneous" events taking place at a distance wrt some frame of reference, but no information can be transferred in the process. I'm not an expert though, I'd suggest looking into the EPR paradox if you want to learn more.
@@MatthewJohnson-hi2th Nice, I read more about it and found out about the "no-communication theorem". Interestingly enough, not even scientist are sure about it, therefore it's still only a theorem. But if there is one thing I learned from looking at the past is you can't believe our boundaries of science will remain the same through the decades/centuries. Without any reason beyond belief in the human capabilities, I think eventually humanity will find a faster way (to at least send information) through space-time. Cheers and thanks for the comment!
best part
astronomer: well im not a evolutionary biologist so i wouldnt know
astrologist:well im a cancer rising so i feel the moon and i know
this is comedic gold
The guy really knew what his limitations on the topic were and then that girl went on to say that lmao
Fr
The more I watched the video and listened to the astrologists, the more I realized that they have a lot in common with religion as a whole.
Religion is not based on facts and cannot be proven but wants to pass as the ultimate truth. Personal experience plays a huge role in the foundation of people’s religiosity.
Instead of energy, religion appeals to faith in order to supposedly prove its trustworthiness and reliability.
Very funny. Though also she is very wrong, 28 days is the average cycle but the cycle length varies from woman to woman. So I guess being cancer rising didn't help her know there!
she immediately reminded me of that meme "Omg I crashed a car! I'm such a libra"
Crystal healers and geologist, that’ll be interesting lol
That would be freaking embarrassing. Imagine believing a freaking ROCK can do anything let alone work the cosmic powers in your favor. I don’t understand human beings I swear
@@tasneemahmed5821 embarrassing but nothing could ever beat flat earthers vs scientist
@@tasneemahmed5821 I think rocks can heal you if you believe in it bacuse it's a placebo

That’s a great suggestion!
This is like watching highschoolers debate their teachers
Or religious people debate biologists
Or humming birds debate Stephen Hawking.
@@milansvancara ...many biologists follow religion. I think you mean't EXTREMISTS debate biologists
A friend of mine told me “astrology is religion wearing a lab coat”, and this video sure does show a lot of that lol.
That’s disrespectful to religions…
@@Brandon_TG_SmithMay I ask what the difference between astrology and other spiritual practices are?
@@spicytargaeryan Astrology is probably false and conflicts with science
Most spiritual beliefs usually have not been disproven and usually do not conflict with science
Religion (according to its followers) has been proven and does not conflict with science
@@spicytargaeryanI mean would you like to get specific or do you simply mean both types are employing faith for their beliefs? Cause, duh.
@@PaperParade I don’t “mean” anything. I’m asking a question
I liked hearing the astronomer talk about how the moon affects his mood by being so beautiful
Yeah, the idea that scientists are these cold calculating inhuman robots is an insane assumption a lot of people have. Scientifically minded people can be just as connected to and emotionally impacted by the universe and it’s beauty as anyone.
It's so cute, I love hearing scientists talk about the beauty in the things they study, idk why that specifically but it brings joy to my heart
Thanks so much, I truly love the stars and the beauty of the cosmos!
It really does. Taking my astronomy course has made me look at life different. It’s such a beautiful feeling to know you are apart of such an amazing universe.
Food does that for me. Lol
“Psychology isn’t a science”
Psychologists: 👁👄👁
@Alexa Brock and some people’s ignorance would change it?
@Alexa Brock I mean people do not define what science is and what is not lol, as these astrologers are doing. For something to be considered as a science it needs a lot of scrutinization and steps, etc.
Psychology is a science though. Human behaviour is understood by conducting many experiments often involving the manipulation of variables. Mathematical tests are done to test the significance of the results and quantitative data is also often collected and used for analysis and comparison.
definition: the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
yes, its a science, albeit a soft science with more variables and more chaotic, if you can study animals and call it science then you can study humans and call it science, were also animals and we behave in complex ways
Its more of a soft science. A subcategory of biology. But psychological data is sometimes quite hard to reproduce because people's minds are so unique.
Astronomers are people who do actual science while astrologists are just looking for something to blame because they can't control their own feelings
I like the IDEA of Middle Ground a lot. Sometimes it genuinely works - like when there is an interesting difference of opinion on hot political/ethical issues, for example - but in this case, and in a few others I've seen recently (e.g. flat earth) it is just incorrect people refusing to be educated, and I don't believe it's correct to even insinuate there is a "middle ground" to be found here.
That is the concept of middle ground, is for both sides to be heard in the middle where no one is going at another’s throat.
@@bentucky4324 I suppose in this case, my main grievance is with the name "middle ground". There is no middle ground on these types of issue. There is scientific, and there is wilful ignorance, and we shouldn't celebrate the idea that that one of them is okay.
HOWEVER - I see what you're saying, and there should absolutely be an environment where adults with nonsensical beliefs can be educated politely without being mocked - it just should not be called "middle ground".
Well I doubt they'll change the name since this has been a series for over 5 years now 😅 In the case of this episode it was more or less a spiritual vs scientific perspective on astral bodies of course they'd be very different. Vast majority of the episodes people from each side do agree/disagree on the same prompt, but every now and then hard-headed idiots come which can't be avoided especially on topics like flat earth.
In the end theres been a common ground that was agreed on. They said that astrology is needed for poeple's enjoyment. Basically like religion, its there to control the morons.
@@caneofsomaria I get your point. There are just way too many people who believe that stuff and they're not gonna stop. There has to be some kind of middle ground.
“I’m not an evolutionary biologist so idk”
“I’m a cancer rising so I feel the moon”
Yep that pretty much sums it up
I believe in astrology, but she made us look insane 😬
@@user-jq2wg6vk4p you are insane
@@alasdairscott4718 I’m not insane for having beliefs. Just until the past decade, we didn’t know everything was energy, and we still don’t know what dark energy is. There is still so much about the universe that we don’t know for us to be pompous enough to think we have all of the answers. I don’t believe in mainstream astrology. I believe in constellational astrology. I believe in patterns in the universe. If that makes me insane, then so be it, but at least I’m not being told by others what to believe.
@@user-jq2wg6vk4p past decade ? Dude you need to get back to science asap ! Ever heard of e=mc² ? Yeah that's basically a conversion equation of converting mass into energy. That's year 1905 when we literally devised a equation to calculate how much energy we have in our universe. And yeah, you had to know that the entire universe is made of energy if you wanna start working on discovering an equation about it.
@@user-jq2wg6vk4p we are closer to having a perfect model to explain everything in the universe thanks to the advancement of the quantum theories, so if u want answers you can sit and wait cuz they'll keep coming
I didn’t know people thought astrology was a science
Yep there's the people who think it's interesting but don't take it serious there's the people who like it in a spiritual sense but know it isn't science and then there's the people who take it way to seriously and ask you your sign before your name and tell you stuff like "oh your a virgo well I'm a gemini and we're just not going to get along together"
@@nick-vv1lz Yep, I like it in a spiritual sense. Not in a militant sense. I would never disregard someone based on their sign. That’s silly lol
This is why we have the term pseudoscience.
Exactly i thought we were doing it for fun 💀
@@nick-vv1lz yup I’m one of those that think it’s interesting but definitely don’t take it seriously lol 😆
One thing that stood out to me is how often the astronomers asked questions about what the astrologists believe, compared to how often the astrologists asked.
Kudos to the astronomers for staying calm the whole time
I think astrology should be kept as a spiritual belief, not compare it to science
@Extended Long I practice the metaphysical & in my opinion it’s a belief not science I wouldn’t even bring it up into science Bc ik it would just be debunked as not scientifically accurate or possible
@Extended Long okay, and it was evaluated in this video lol therefore it’ll be a spiritual belief
Most people I know don’t even see it as a science they just like it for fun, yet people still get so angry about it 😂 I think people who hate astrology need lives personally.

Don't wish for that. Wish for rationality.
It's called being passionate. Find a hobby that you absolutely love doing, and you'll be just as confident as they are
I remember watching a video on how personality tests, and astrology and these things don't mean squat bc they're just so broad they could fall into practically anyone, there was an experiment where a teacher created a personality test for his 50 students, and stated that they can't tell anyone about the results, and then were asked if the results were accurate, somethnig like 80% said yes, but the kicker was that they were the same results for everyone
that's what psychology calls as "the barnum effect" (and yes, psychology is a real science :D)
I am a pretty sceptical person, but when my psychology teacher did this experiment with my class i fully fell for it as well. Just goes to show confirmation bias is very powerful, even the sceptical among us will fall for it.
Wondering if you would happen to have a link to either that RUclips video or to something describing that teacher’s experiment? I find that very interesting.

Astrologers don’t think space is cool. They think of themselves as cool, and space revolves around them!
@@funnyberries4017So true. A lot of the appeal of astrology isn’t in some appreciation for the cosmos, it’s the sense of identity superiority it provides (and all the issues that come with that).
Well, when you can interpret something any way you want, of course it is never wrong.
Thus, it is cannot be classified as science
That’s not how astrology works though, you don’t just interpret it any way you want

It's more a mythology/legend connected to the symbols. Everyone has their own interpretation tho so I'm not gunna go that rabbit hole lmao
@@journeyinspirit So it's fiction.
I aspire to have the patience of these astronomers. Hearing "energy", "I feel like", "affirming", "resonates with me" while discussing science would have made me lose my cool.
@Sanningen There is no "energy for me or you or them" in scince. Just like people don't say "Well, gravity for me is...". Energy in physics is a quantitative property. And whenever you say "studies show", please provide backup. What studies, where and under what curcustances those studies were performed, how many test subjects therer were (and what are the ages, genders they are), where it was published?. The moon affect the tide because of gravitational pull.
@Sanningen if you start with "Energy for me can be" you're already outside the realm of science. You can talk and use the term "energy", but don't pretend to be talking about science. Scientific terms are very precisely determined.
Constellations have no effect on our lives except for the light they produce.
Regarding the moon claim, it can come down to the amount of light you see, your biological sleep cycles, the placebo effect or many others. You wouldn't even be able to include gravity has because (at best) the moon exerts a force of 0.005 Newtons/kg compared to Earth's 9.8 N/kg, meaning it would get lost in the uncertainty of your potential paper. I don't think we're able to isolate the moon as the primary factor.
Both sides were cringey in this episode. Hard to watch.

That astronomer stepping forward when asked if celestial objects influence people’s moods and going on and on about pretty planets literally made my day
My problem is though, that they could be right. I don’t see why planets being far away means they can’t influence us, they do, we can see them and thus experience them. But I just don’t see ANY evidence to what astrologers say. I could copy their ideas and make up my own and then defend them with new ideas like they
@@Pivotification except your think off intuition instead of evidence. Just because we can see the light from a star (one that possibly no longer even exists) doesn’t mean they have an actual physical effect on us other than looking pretty and effecting us emotionally in that way. We know the gravity from far off celestial bodies doesn’t effect us in any significant way objectively.
@Are You Going To Do The 'Ora Ora' Thing? A peer reviewed study recently came out about how our moon affects us physically depending on whether it’s a full moon or a new moon. If the moon is one of the reasons we have tides & affects us physically in terms of our sleep cycle (which can then affect mood) who knows what is possible when it comes to celestial bodies having a influence over us.
@@moodypanda127 causation =/= correlation.
@@moodypanda127 That's just a cultural effect. Full half and new moon means different things in each culture and to each people. It doesn't prove anything.

I like how respectful they are when someone is talking and really put other’s opinion into consideration :)) astronomers were genuinely curious and astrologists respective for whatever response they might get and answered them based on their own knowledge (vice versa).

The funny part about them bringing in what Mars and Venus mean versus what the planet actually is, is the fact that Mars and Venus are just named after Roman gods. That's where those traits come from which can then be traced back to Greek gods Ares and Aphrodite which are the gods that Mars and Venus are based off of. Which if you continue to go back you can trace certain gods like Aphrodite to even Ishtar due to the geological and cultural shifts of the cultures.
They are not based on the actual planet, just gods that people made thousands of years ago to explain natural phenomena that they could not understand at the time or represented abstract concepts like war or love.
So what you're saying is, there is even less of a correlation between the actual cosmological bodies and the claims of astrology to be able to interpret them, than they claim? gasp.
I agree, so Astrology has nothing to do with "Astro" at all. Everything they believe in are just made up concept.
"I'm a spiritual analyst".
Unemployed, got it.
they should've made the astrologers guess the astronomers' risings, that would have been fun
Well the lady said you can’t know someone that well after first meeting them to make a prediction, so they’d probably just say that if they get the signs wrong.
I was thinking that :)))
so to get rising signs we need the exact birth time down to hours and minutes, place and date of birth, not everyone has their birth time with them (usually can be found in birth certificate though).
just to clarify :3
Great idea. At least they can prove something. If it’s science, there should be reliability.

Precisely
"I'm a cancer rising so I feel the moon" I can't deal with this
when Nina said that they have anecdotal evidence, I clocked out 12:40 btw. you can't argue or reason with a person that thinks like that and the fact that they still call it a science is just an insult to the scientist community.

Wow that was actually a great discussion
That girl did not just compare psych and actual therapy with astrology. Oof. Thank you to the astronomer that corrected her.
As a Psychology student, I died inside a little bit.
There are many people who view therapy in the same way people view astrology. So yes I did. I am a therapy student so using my knowledge of both I stated my own opinion.
I mean, I think that astrology, in regards to its psychology aspects, can be somewhat helpful to those who practice it. However, everything else that says planets and stars can affect how we should feel or what we should do is plain gibberish, then rendering astrology unnecessary at the end of the day.
"psychology is a soft science" says literally only people who have never heard an actual psychologist speak .-.
I was really irritated when Ebony categorized psychology and astrology in an equal level. Psychology is far more deeper and important that what people believe in, in astrology
Nina lost me the minute she said you could use astrology "to validate and affirm the things that you feel in yourself". That is pretty much the definition of confirmation bias; and if you've got confirmation bias going on, your science is at the very least heavily flawed and likely not really science at all.
Exactly. When they say they’re just showing possibilities. They just pick and choose things until it perfectly encapsulates the person. There are so many components to astrology that you can just take out and add things until they fit
@@shuruktigarajeswaran9852 yep, and they make the VAGUEST interpretations so that whoever is reading that feels like it's describing themself.

So I recently heard a proffesional 'mentalist' (a guy who performs all sorts of tricks on stage that make his audience 'think' he can read minds, move something without touching it,....) but he sees his craft as a performance for entertainment. He tells his audiance very clearly it's all tricks, but when you see it you can never see how he could possibly do it, so it still works. He talked a lot about the 7 principles stage magic is based on, which is essentially 7 basic ways to trick people. The astrologists mentioned quite q few which were painfully similar to his on-stage 'mind-reading' techniques. Which are ofcourse nothing more than suggestions, questions the participant fills in, broad and general statements,...
I truly believe these astrologists have thaught themselves these while actually believing their knowledge comes from their charts. the real magic is in how you present whatever your chart says (or your 2 year olds, shitty drawing for that matter) to your client, and guide them in your communication to fill in whatever you said in a way that resonates with them.
There was a show on Sci fi channel years ago called mind control with Darren Brown that was very similar to this. They interviewed a ton of people asking mystical sounding gobbedly gook about their lives and gave them a paper describing their "life and personality in detail" and they all thought it perfectly described who they are as a person. They gave everyone the same paper. That's always stuck with me.

“I’m a cancer rising so I feel the moon.” That made me giggle tbh.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In astrology, the Ascendant is what zodiac sign was RISING over the horizon, to the east, you can take a glance at the sky to appreciate this. Use an app or something. Anyways, the rising or ascendant is what was first marked upon your being to take the role of, when you came out of the womb. It's how "you" or how others may perceive you, and physically; by first impression mostly. Your looks.
Cancer is tied to being ruled by the moon, so... she feels connected to it. As she could, a Cancer rising.

It makes people believe that they understand themselves because it labels previously unlabeled psychological occurrences for them.

When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”

Then I just have one simple question. I don't follow moon phases. Yet as a long term customer service worker. Why do my customers ALWAYS get crazier during the full moon. I don't find out the full moon is out until I see the customers are extra weird or irritable, without fail.
That is called "The Placebo Effect" and it works two times here.
1. An undefinable amount of your customers may have any kind of religious and/or pseudo-scientific beliefs, which lead them to await strange behaviour at a full moon, which in turn makes them act strangely.
2. The fact, that you wrote this comment, strongly implies, that you have at least a glimpse of doubt within you. That is completely normal, however it makes you highly sensitive to the slightest anomalies in people's behaviour on a full moon. Behaviour you would not have picked up on on every other day.
You see, a combination of both can eventually make a recognizable difference.
I even got a little self-experiment: For the next like minute or something tell yourself, that your eyes are very dry. Do it in a way, you would believe yourself and afterwards roughly estimate, how often you blinked. Wait a few minutes and now tell yourself your eyes are not dry at all for 1 minute. In the end, compare how often you blinked each round. You don't need exact numbers for this.
That's no placebo; that's really the moon's energy affecting your customers.
@@ILoveMaths07 The moon doesn't radiate any energy. Why would it? It’s a f*cking rock in space.

If Astrology actually works we would be using it for important things such as Medicine, Rocket science, Predicting a natural calamity etc. Imagine a patient complaining about chest pain and the doctor goes, "Hold up, let me pull out the chart and feel the vibrations. Oh, the chart says you have a bright future so it must just be a gastric issue, just drink some water".
In astrology it's actually can detect an illnesses that somebody might have based on their birth chart, but once again is not popular and it because already stamped as not practical and as a pseudoscience. But does it already help the clients that may come to the astrologer in some degree? Yes it's already does, but once again it's just not being widespread and still considered as taboo for some.
Baby that’s not this kind of world. We are not moving people ahead we are being kept down and sleep
@@hausoflaboratorieswith respect, you are making claims that you cannot back up. There is zero peer reviewed evidence that validates the claim that astrology can reveal any illness whatsoever.
@@ROVA00 yes there is no such things in astrology, there is no peer reviewed from what I found. But if you found some of it in astrology please inform us. Like I said it's not practical hence isn't a science. Therefore that's what the middle ground of this video that you watched. Yes maybe astrology can't exclusively reveal what illnesses that one might have based on peer reviewed but it can based on one birth chart. For example if someone is a Capricorn dominant aka Saturn dominant or Sun sign in cap, you are prone to have injury on your teeth, feet, jawline. That's how I see it.

i almost lost it when that one woman said psychology is not rooted by the scientific method - this is absolutely not true. as someone about to graduate with a bachelor’s in the subject, although the field of psychology does have its issues, what we know CAN be backed by empirical research. we know what therapeutical techniques and medications work to improve symptoms of mental disorders because of randomized/controlled scientific trials.
Yes thank you! As a psych student, I was up in arms when she said that. Don't need the scientific method to prove she had no idea what she was talking about.
That is true, but it’s called a “soft science” because all the scientific trials are based on testimonials. Isn’t it the same for astrology? We just haven’t done any scientific trials based in astrology yet.
@@loverrlee i wouldn’t say ALL studies are based on testimonials alone. sure, subjective variables like resilience and well-being are hard to measure or observe directly, so studies on these can often rely on participant self-reports. but studies DO exist using direct observation on behavior as evidence, most often with animal subjects like mice or hamsters (especially with studies pertaining to drug use disorders or the like). i also don’t see how anyone could conduct a true scientific study on astrology, since the whole point is that you’re “born” with certain traits based on star placements at your time of birth - you can’t just randomly assign someone a new time of birth or natal chart to see if they suddenly act any differently.
I said that not to be disrespectful. From what I've studied in my masters program, I see psychology as an interpretation of human behavior that is backed by science.
Unlike astrology which I see as an interpretation of human behavior that is not back by science.
There's levels, I'm not saying psychology and astrology are the same thing or on the same level but I do see overlap and I do consider astrology an soft science.

The astrologers are trying so hard to support their side. And astronomers are just chilling, I love it.
yeah, because the astrologers are the misinterpreted ones. (no i don't think astrology is a science)
Because one thing is real, the other thing is just belief made to be real.
I didn't find all of the astronomers chill at all to be honest 😅
How can you not want to "try hard" in proving your side of the spectrum when its so heavily misrepresented? Astrology is like a color wheel, we have the sun signs - what everyone practically knows - which would be considered as the color red for an example. But then, as you learn more, you'll find out that there's in fact many different hues of red, which differentiates the people of that category. Along with people having more than one color in their birth chart as well. If you imagine the birth chart as a painting, then obviously no person's painting is going to look exactly the same. There's going to be a variety of color splashed about it in varies ways that can only be unique to yourself, based on your houses and planarity placements.
This is to only explain what Astrology is, not prove that its scientific based, but to at least show that its more than just saying "Omg you're such a Virgo!" or "Eww I can't date him, because he's a Scorpio." Its like saying that this person is only [insert nationality], when they're that but also so much more which defines their identity; religion, culture, ethnicity, geography, etc.
The astronomers weren’t chill tho lol There were some moments where you could tell they were tense especially the guy in the middle

The most important thing to remember with Astronomy vs Astrology is this: The original astrologers were, in fact, astronomers. Astronomers truly thought that astrology was the way the universe worked. However, at some point in history, astronomers realized the error of their ways. The creators of astrology decided they were wrong and that it wasn't a correct description of the universe around them. However, the practice never fully died because some people made a living off of selling it to others. And those others (not astronomers) kept paying for it because it made them feel like they understood the world around them more. But this still boils down to a case of the ones who invented astrology decided it was inherently wrong and found something better, but other people said "okay, but I'm going to keep believing it". That's fine, but it doesn't make it correct. Feeling warm and fuzzy because it confirms your preconceptions is not a valid basis for belief in something. Reality is what it is, and sometimes it's not going to align with your intuition. Astronomy acknowledges this. Astrology does not. That much is evident every time they speak of their chakras or personal energies; an idea that has no basis in objective observations, only in feelings. "This aligns with my personal energies, so I know it to be true" vs "Well I saw this and took pictures, so it's real"
can the astrologists please read the astronomists birth charts? i would love to hear their reaction/thoughts on the astrologists readings!
The girl studying psychology sadly represented psychology in a misleading light. Psychology IS based on the scientific method, we DO have theories that guilds our research and these theories and hypotheses are then restructured if they are not supported by evidence. Yes, it is a soft science, but NO it is not comparable to astrology.
louder!!!!
I disagree, I don’t believe it is a soft science whatsoever, that is hard science, as complicated and intricate as physics chemistry or biology, honestly it’s people like this that water down its significance because the real physiologist (unlike the girl in this video, who clearly said that in order to fair over some sort of credibility) have done remarkable work and have conducted and observe crazy experiments that deserve more recognition, not someone that poses as one just to undermine all of the work of great minds that came before
@@brandonsolanes9217 Thanks for that! I completely agree with you regarding how you describe the science. When it comes to soft vs. hard science, I guess that depends on the definition you go by, as it is still quite vague, and what aspects you want to focus on. Main point - psychology is a science and I'm glad that other people agree with me on the fact that the girl merely tried to make herself seem more credible.
Coming from a scientist in a biological field, I 100% agree that psychology is a science that is based on the scientific method! I think people get hung up on the fact that what was once considered fact may not prove to be true in the future. But that's science for ya. Lol

Out of the astrologers, Ebony was the most level-headed. It seemed like she more so understood she is reading people and trying to be therapeutic rather than full-on saying astrology is accurate.
She also said she was a psychologist, or has a psychology degree. So maybe that's why. She's familiar with working with evidence-backed research and can distinguish between when something being more analytical or interpretive. She definitely had the most interesting perspective out of the astrologers.

Super intelligent how the astronomer said yes, there is likely a connection between women's menstrual cycles and the moon, but that's a topic for an evolutionary biologist to address. Excellent critical thinking and appropriate professional awareness of one's field.
“The human menstrual cycle is only the about same length as the lunar month - it isn’t synchronised with a particular phase.
One frequently cited study, published in the American Journal Of Obstetrics And Gynecology in 1980, found some evidence of synchronisation, but the effect was very weak. Of the sample of 312 women, 244 had cycles that were longer than 29 days or shorter than 27, and only 70 per cent of the rest actually started their period within two weeks of the full Moon.
If locking our reproductive cycle to the lunar month was advantageous, you might expect other animals to do the same. Orangutans and possums have 28-day cycles, but our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, have 35-day cycles. Non-primate mammals have an oestrous cycle, which works differently to menstruation, but none of them synchronise their reproduction with the phases of the Moon.”
source: sciencefocus
“Studies suggest synchronizations in the lunar and menstrual cycles are down to random chance.
It turns out, most evidence suggests that a person’s period links up with lunar cycles only at the rate you’d expect due to random chance. Early studies suggested a tenuous link.
However, a 2013 retrospective study in the journal Endocrine Regulations that tracked 74 women over a year found no evidence for the synchronization of lunar phases to the menstrual cycle.
The rise of period-tracking apps has enabled researchers to undertake even bigger studies. In 2019, researchers at the tracking app Clue analyzed 7.5 million cycles from 1.5 million app users. (This analysis did not go through peer review, a process whereby outside experts vet new research before it's published.) They found no evidence that menstrual cycles or periods were more likely to happen at any time in the lunar cycle.”
source: livescience
TLDR: there is no basis in the science, nor evolutionary evidence that the timeframes of menstruation and the lunar cycle happen to be vaguely similar. Humans like to make connections and a lot of the time periods of time in the natural world just happen to be similar due to random chance.
@@fallenangel_899i fear you grossly misunderstood what he meant when saying it correlates with the lunar month meaning the amount of time is the same, not that the lunar cycle and menstrual cycle occur at the same time

Psych Student here: psychology is a science and we use the scientific method - and yes we use it for treatment too! If it weren’t based in science it would be unethical to implicate said treatment on ppl. Don’t listen to her, psychology is a field in science, research, and health/medicine
Hence the whole idea of evidence-based practice that's gained a lot of momentum nowadays. Maybe she was referring to non-standardised therapies like psychodynamic and stuff where you can't really have the same level of evidence in why they work and all that. But you can still see whether it's helped people and compare it to a placebo and control group, and then you technically still have scientific data...
But I do get what she meant, cause like it happens a lot of times where you can just have different results depending on the people that participate in the study. And it's not like all the replicated studies get published so there's a lot of info we wouldn't have...
Im sorry but psych is not a science, replicability fails almost everytime in psych experiments.

@@samba9450 if you’re talking to me, then her stating that she’s studied physics for many years doesn’t really have anything to do with that. And it should still have some effect (otherwise, the law does not apply to all situations, which should be the point within their framework, from my understanding and what they put off/communicate- does it cease to exist when it’s far away? Can we say that if it essentially doesn’t show up in certain instances that it has been disproven?). As was brought up, there does seem to be some sort of correlation between the moon and women’s menstrual cycles. And why focus simply upon gravitational forces? Physicists themselves can’t properly group gravity in with the other 3 fundamental forces. There’s so much they don’t know. I don’t really believe in astrology either btw, though I’m still open to the possibility of at least parts of it being legitimate... Though overall, I still think it’s unholy, or at least- it isn’t my place to judge someone completely off of their zodiac sign or whatever other metric they use- especially when doctors push for c-sections and/or induced births.
@@user-pe2yx9kt4e that astronomer seemed to be using logically flawed argumentation anyway. She brought up beetlejuice being 400-600 light years away and how it going supernova wouldn't effect them immediately. She's implying that somehow what the astrologers call "energy" is faster than the speed of light. If she studied physics for as long as she said she had, i would hope she would realize how dangerous that implication is and how it would undermine a lot of physics concepts that our world has been built upon today like relativity
@@josha1349 Where did you get the idea that she implied that this "energy" was faster than the speed of light?
She used that argument solely to disprove how something very far away in space (a celestial body) literally can not affect you at a certain point in time (like your birth).
She used a celestial body going supernova 650 lightyears away as a way to disprove that it can't affect you, since it would've happened a long, long time ago for us.
She's saying it can't affect you, quite literally the opposite of what you're claiming she's saying.
The astrologers would be claiming that it's travelling faster than the speed of light, since they're the ones claiming that the celestial bodies are affecting them. She's claiming it wouldn't.
I feel like you're putting words in her mouth or just simply misunderstood what she said.
I think the best argument to use with astrologers is: "if all written knowledge is lost and we start from scratch in a 1000 years, we will arrive to the same astronomical understanding and write the same laws that celestial objects follow.
We will never arrive to the same astrological laws, it's a mythological interpretation of the stars, a story. "

they'd probably say that we would, and at that point you're hard stuck again. You can't really talk hypotheticals with these people.
i find this so interesting. Im into astrology and tend to ask people what their signs are upon meeting them. It's not that it's true or like I believe in it, but sometimes it makes it easier to understand people. I don't have proof or science to back me up but it makes me happy and it's really fun!
The funny thing though is when I meet some people and they ask me, I'll say a random different sign every time and they act like they "can see it". This was my own little experiment that continues to prove astrology has nothing to do with anything in reality, and it's just a fictional game.
yeah, I think it can be a fun talking point, even if it is false. If it makes you happy and you find it fun, it's fine. You do you.
That's the thing though, you are thinking you can understand them better based on a nonsensical concept that does not describe their personality in anyway except maybe their willingness to believe things which have no evidence to back it up. Like when people go "Oh you are a scorpio? You must be very prickly" and they are just unfairly assigning characteristics to a person arbitrarily, a negative one no less,. which may change (even subconsciously) how they treat them. Doubly so when people don't get into relationships with others because of their zodiac signs. I just think it's a really unfair way of putting people into boxes and judging them. That's why it can be quite problematic.
The fact that such a high number of adults believe in astrology gives me little hope for the future.

Both psychology and astrology are behavioral based practices. To claim they are the exact same is ridiculous but there is some connections which should be noted. They both track the complexity of human nature and I would agree that psychology is a science
more so than astrology by far (professional astrologer here). Many astrologers also collect empirical data throughout their studies so it is on par with sciences but because it is all interpretation and so closely linked to spirituality it becomes invalidated by science.
@@elizabethbauer5255 yes, yes it is.
I suggest we'd change it from psychologists to psychics, that seems more accurate🔮
Also, psychology is absolutely a science. I’m glad that lady got on here, that way I know that she should not be my doctor or anyone’s doctor lol.
