Thank you
Not sure why they don't already do this but thank you
You’re the best. Please do this for other videos you watch, it truly is a gift.
Thank you for saving my time.
The funny thing is sometimes I see really positive responses to posts like this one and sometimes I'll see really nasty replies. Personally, I say thank you. Some topics just aren't very interesting to me so it's nice to know where to go!
It is when we find something that DISAGREES with current models that we make real scientific progress.
That's not how science works 😜
Don’t question the science. Just “trust” it.
...no, we just call them pseudo scientists. & conspiracy theories. Until say, lazer weapons are mentioned once or twice by a politician. Eventually being used nonchalantly in a conflict.
@@madmartigan8119 You are mistaken.
When you find evidence that disagrees with current models that *are repeatable* you can make scientific progress.
Too many shady individuals bring out claims that go against current models, but either put out falsified data, or just say "trust me, bro."
I always click on his videos thinking it's Vsauce
Me too!!!! I also feel like I will now hear the uncle John bathroom reader with this guys accent.
Oh…I get it. It’s a bald joke
There really is no difference other than how they present their self
@@TylerWCarr Simon has a foolish persona!
A Clown with bald head! :)
I literally have prosopagnosia and have never mistaken Simon Whistler for vsauce guy (or vice versa).

Dolly was the first MAMMAL to be cloned. Someone cloned tadpoles back in the 50s.
And nature does it naturally too: parthenogenesis.
Aren't tadpoles one of those things that are sort of naturally cloned? ( honest question)
Really?
@@rebeccarakuza2845 I was wondering that myself when I read the original comment!
@@rebeccarakuza2845 Not sure what you mean by naturally cloned. They come from sexual reproduction. Each tadpole is genetically unique, though there are some interesting metholization going on from various environmental inputs. There are some differences in the egg vs amniotes which makes it easier to modify... hence the use of tadpoles.
Care to elaborate on natural cloning. I feel like I am missing something here that would make it make sense if I knew it.
As an individual with a B.S in the sciences (not even close to the biggest brain and am not about to claim so), I always appreciate new information coming out to challenge current hypothesis and theories.
I have gotten very tired of scientists, who have been trained far better, coming out and stating hypotheses and theories as “fact”. They are not. These are simply the best answers we have come up with this far, and could be disproven tomorrow.
The people who make these statements are standing on the shoulders of giants and acting like they are giants themselves. Not a fan of that behavior.
Did anyone else click on this thinking it was VSauce?
Yes lol
Yer confused me with his voice haha
No
Blind bros!!!😂😂😅
Wtf is vsauce?
how do you just stumble on something for the first time, that takes up over 5% over the entire observable universe
Because it’s massive
Sometimes you miss the forest when you’re looking at the trees
Cause it took months to collect slivers of light and create the composite photo we see. We simply could not collect and allocate enough light to see it until recently.
It's really, really difficult to fathom the size/scale/breadth/depth of the sky. It's one thing to stand in an open field or atop a hill/mountain and see all the huge sky around you and be like "damn, this would def take me a while to work through if I had to map all the stars I see at night." It's another thing entirely to then realize that for the further away you want to look, the field of focus narrows ever more so that, as an ass-pull numerical example, you go from being able to chart say, 1% of the sky at a time to 0.00000001% because you're basically taking a microscope to a distant section of space and even if you can pan the 'scope over, it's really hard to turn that into a cohesive image or map that connects.
You build a better telescope.
It's better to preserve bees than to invent micro-robots to replace them.
(Sigh) Bees are not in danger. The supposed problem of Sudden Colony Colapse is not a new issue, they simply gave what Bee keepers have known about for hundreds or thousands of years a scary name. It is a common thing YEARLY.
Instructions unclear, I now have a bee hive encased in epoxy resin
I had a convo with AI that implies we can use "extremophiles" to do that no robots needed with tech that exists today!
@@wstavis3135 Domesticated bees are an invasive species. The worrisome bee loss is native eusocial bees who pollinate things honey bees dont.
Agreed, but its nice to have a reliable backup should something go wrong. Also bees don't do well in environments that they aren't accustomed to, such as space or another planet, but the plants themselves might be perfectly happy in. These robots would allow us to pollinate the plants in these environments with much less fuss than trying to acclimatize or genetically modify Bees to do the same thing.
I appreciate scientitsts who say, 'looks like we were wrong about xyz', and quickly adjust so they can enjoy and perpetuate the joy of discovery versus the so called scientits who are really modern day flat earthers who do everything they can to stop facts from seeing the light of day so that they can temporarily maintain false authority. Thank you!
You say 'modern day flat earthers' like there isn't a growing movement of modern actual, unironic Flat Earthers, lol. You're welcome for ruining or making your evening depending on how you take this news.
Who are these scientists you have in mind?
pretty ironic to say "modern day flatearthers" considering they're a modern occurrence. the ancient world didn't believed the earth was flat, we're just evolving backwards
Flat Earthers don't actually believe the World is flat, they just troll people who treat science as a religion.
They target people who treat theories as facts and get upset if anyone questions popular theories...even though skepticism is the main principle of science.
So they do the same exact thing mapmakers have been doing for thousands of years and then troll the living Hell out of the people who get upset over it
@@vincentcabezas7147they thought we were the center of the universe in ancient times as well as being flat. 😂 but yeah.
The fact that human beings think we understand everything about the universe when there are still things on earth that still cant be explained astounds me honestly
Who, other than Young Earth Creationists, thinks that we understand everything about the universe?
@@jackabug2475 atheist clowns that pretend they know God doesn't exist.
Dude absolutely noone thinks that we understood everything about the universe. Stop these pseudo intellectual stuff you arent Nietzsche dude
@@stevenhorstgeorg5728 I'm just basing the statement off of the fact that there are a lot of scientific studies that attempt to make sense of phenomena in the universe that do not occur natively to this planet and most of the information is just working theories that are accepted because nobody else refute them lol
My favorite recent discovery was evidence for the fusion of elements inside water vacuum bubble collapses. It is absolutely fascinating. It totally rewrites most of what we understand to be about the formation of elements in our galaxy, human history, radiometric dating, and much more. It also opens up modern alchemy as a legitimate science based specialty, lol. All around super cool.
I think that might have been an April fools post.
Cold fusion, don't think so.
No you're wrong, I know it sounds seducing, but there's sadly no magic in the world, only energy transfer. If you want to turn tomato sauce into gold, you'll have to spend A LOT of energy, whatever "water vacuum bubble collapse" some dude on youtube sold you :(
Number 6 discovery: Simon churns out a new channel every few months
What's the newest? I haven't seen a brand new channel from him in over a year and a half, from what I remember, anyways. This channel, for example, was founded in 2020. Also, he's no longer a part of 3 of the channels, I believe. The actual owners of the channels forced him out and now their views are a lot lower than when he was hosting them.
@@BackYardScience2000 what channels were he forced out of?
Obviously someone has cloned Simon Whistler.
@@BackYardScience2000 Bro thank you for youre detailed and unnecessary revelations
R/whoooosh?
Newest, if memory serves, is Places. Less than a year old.
And the daughter of the founder of Geographics, one of the aforementioned previous channels Fact Boi worked with has made a public statement on that channel saying she and others handled things badly.
Last time I showed someone the big ring they got a restraining order.
Ah...you actually went there! 😂 caught me off guard 🤣
Huwhat?
Anus ring?
ah, but this isn't about you
Weak
This guy is the hardest working narrator on the internet
Tssss
Tsssss

Tough to listen to this on headphones. Is it me or does this channel
Have the occasional audio issue?
Love the content, curious about the audio problems.
Even listening without headphones. Once you notice it, it is horrible
LOL rewatch the intro at 0.5 playback speed. Simon has been drinking all morning.
I listen to Simon at 0.75 at all times
Dang, I speed him up because I don't want to lose my life just watching videos. I'll slow him down.@@chrismills9620
I watch all this stuff at 2x. Normal sounds drunk to me.
That was pretty funny, ty.
That is actually bad for a channels watch time. As it expects for example 20 minutes but if you speed it up it only registers 10 minutes so it looks like you clicked off after 10 minutes. RUclips should really fix that so it still registers as a whole view.
You go, Alexia Lopez!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you look like a hippie Draco Malfoy
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you, hope to see much more of this content
I stood up and applauded the water ion battery invention. Yes please!!!!
Don't worry, its only 5 years away...just like all the other zillion new battery techs. 😉
It is encouraging though that there have been so many battery breakthroughs recently. Perhaps there really WILL be a new battery in 5 to 10 years.
@@happyzahn8031 Actually amigo, google calcium water battery and you will find that five years away is yesterday.
Our *sandbox* has to be *BIG* ,this way it will take *Humanity* a very long time to explore it.. 🌌
Very bad RPG. Would not recommend.
@@DJPhukk
RPGs don't have a lifetime's worth of information for you to discover packed into something too small for the human eye to see. They get very repetitive very quickly.
It is literally impossible for the human brain to comprehend the amount of stuff that makes up existence, let alone learn everything about everything in a single human life. Pick something you're interested in and have at it.
@@DJPhukk Best graphics i've ever seen, though. But too difficult for my tastes.
And slightly longer for humanity to break it.
to bury their shit!!
Me, I want tiny robots for pest control. A whole platoon of mechs wandering my house, killing ants and flies.
autism speaks
And spiders. Spiders
Have you heard of water reanimated robot spider corpses? Simon did a video. Who decided this should be a thing? And why??😳😭😳😭😳
@@piperjaycie what the actual fuck 😳😐😭 I didn't until you mentioned it.. 😭
Spiders do that already if you leave them be.
Thanks for keeping us all updated! Very interesting video
Thanks for a great video. And if you want tor widen your audience you could dial down the background music to make it easier for old-timers like me to filter the speech from the background :D
Simon, that intro sounded like an Aussie after a few VB's 😂
VB was my go-to when I lived in Exmouth! Good stuff.
@@danidavis7912 I totally have to disagree , most emphatically ! When I landed in Sydney in '91, I went to a King's Cross bottle store and asked for a dozen of the most popular beer, he gave me VB. When I tasted it, I though it was like soapy water. Compared to nearly all other beers, it is SERIOUSLY under hopped, bland, vague neither crisp, or malty or even biscuit like, it's more like something between a womens legs.
@@ashleyobrien4937 and...uh...what's wrong with the stuff between a woman's legs? And uh....what a creative comparison. 🤭

Vaginal Backwash, for a hard earned thirst.
this is one of my favorite videos of yours!! please talk about more scientific discoveries!
This is definitely one of the best videos on the channel so far, we need more content like this
I’m a bit surprised to see WSU make it on this list though I was hearing about some of the mechanical engineering stuff through the professor I worked for in the engineering department. I just didn’t realize how big this was until now.
Playback at .75 makes Simon sound hammered.
Governments are gonna love getting their hands on the future mini robots...
Perverts as well 😅
I'm sure there are government labs developing mini robots now. Probably more advanced since they have an unlimited funding source... taxpayers.
Who do you paid for them, probably a while back
I love the way you finish discussing a conundrum with a question 😂
WoW, Excellent program excellent viewing many thanks🙏👍👍
Yaaaaaay, fun and potentially undepressing video ^_^

Why are you copying and pasting another persons comment? They posted this exact same comment a pretty good while before you did. Trying to steal likes? Or did you just not see it?
@@BackYardScience2000 the timestamps are not the same, and the formatting is not quite the same
@@BackYardScience2000 As @AltonV pointed out, and something that was easy enough to see, if the OP had "copy/pasted" the other comment then they also took the time to change the timestamps and even the wording.
Using memory alloys as mechanical parts is also how you create a "hook shot". Using electricity to quickly heat up a specialized stand of memory alloy-which would cause it to expand outward, and then allowing it to cool back into its designated shape is how you cause it to contact. Innovation/ideas like this is a key component in creating small hook-shots.
We need to hear this kind of things in daily news.
Besides Taylor swift and draft picks
What Simon says gives me a big kick in the bejeebers. Great science stories. Thank you!
You JO to this is what you are saying?
Define "bejeebers".
Simon says. our world is a wonderful place, with never-ending amazing features to astound, many yet to be found. Nothing about putting your hands on your head.. or anywhere else.
Bejeebers means mental soundness, wits .
@@TheRockMorton I thought it was coded language for felching.
It was an informative and wonderful scientific explanation and coverage...thanks for sharing
The first two seconds of this video on repeat is all I need
Simon!! I'm impressed!!!!
Unlike americans, who ALWAYS manage to mispronounce place names in Australia, you were able to pronounce "Melbourne," as flawlessly as a local!!!
Well done, Simon! I take back 20% of the things I've previously said about your pronunciation...
Yet he still managed to screw up “cadmium”.
@@georgejones3526
You should hear him try to say the name "Charlemagne..."
I've tried many times to tell him that his penchant for mispronunciation is most often caused by him either inserting letters into a word that don't belong there, or because he's failed to notice letters that ARE there. With Charlemagne, it's the latter. He INSISTS on calling the father of modern Europe "Sharmayne!"
Poor guy
You people have no chill
One man can’t know it all 😂
@@Raz.C
Isn’t that a perfume? Oh wait that’s “Shalimar”.
He completely botched "lah-NEE-kah" supercluster, though. Hawai'ian language only has 1 way to pronounce each letter and a simple web search would have revealed the pronunciation as "lah-nee-ah-KAY-ah". They managed to misspell it in the graphic as well...
I can think of 2 potential answers to the Big Ring and other gargantuan structures & objects:
1. Rogue waves of the primordial plasma. We see freak peaks and troughs in our own ocean's waves many magnitudes greater than those around it. Thus, it is not farfetched to consider the same is possible for all kinds of waves
2. The Universe is older than we think. We calculated the age of the universe using the CMB, but the CMB that we see could be not the original outburst, but instead an echo, or even from a later 'big bang'. Matter - and therefore space itself - is not distributed evenly. It could be assumed that a dense area of the universe collapsed and rebounded in its own 'big bang'
Wondering if the elements of the ring and arc are truly associated or is this potentially a perception problem, a pattern where there is none.
So who created the actual substance out of which the universe was and is constantly created? And who or what created the space in which this is happening? Funny how most explanations don't even want to consider a supernatural origin. Nothing else makes sense.
Literally everyone is watching this in the future.
You watched it in the past now
@@vicvinegarLLC Which was still the future from his point of view.
We never even experience the present. Let that sink in
Wait what is this? What am I looking at?
Now, Sir. You're looking at now. Everything that is happening now is happening now.
Well go back to then!
We can't.
Why?
We passed it.
When?
Just now.
Time is Relative
thanks Simon
UHHH, Simon, you got that wrong. The positive terminal of a battery is the ANODE and the negative is the CATHODE.
Batteries: I know Simon meant nickel-cadmium. 😉
I liked the sound of Cadium…..
I hoped somebody else would pick up on that... maybe if you mixed cadmium and radium you'd get "cadium"?
He doesn't write or research his material. He only reads it aloud from a script. That's how he makes a living - as a presenter of other people's material.

the big bang isnt a center-point detonationfor everything everywhere
, it just serves as a center point relative to us.
Exactly, they forget that the Universe is INFINITE! So why not an infinite number of Big Bangs over a infinite time and space.
@@sidewinder814u because the universe is not infinite eternal or cyclical. It had a finite start and is finite in size. our most proven knowledge the spacetime theorems tell us this. any multiverse fantasy is also bound be requiring a finite start thus God is required.
I have not seen a video of yours in years meaning that subsequently I have not heard your voice in years. Your voice has changed. LOL I like it
I love your channel, beautiful being! ❤️❤️❤️ namaste 🙏🏻
I can hear Holden heading to the Ring.
Nice. Super nice
I love your channels but man, you gotta work on how sharp your "s" sounds when talking. I don't know if that is a mixing issue or microphone issue, I just know that it always comes across really strong when watching on any of my computers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Big Ring is 9.2 billions light-years away, doesn't that mean we see it now as it was 9.2 billion years ago? You know, speed of light and all that? And if that's the case, shouldn't the Upper Limit be even smaller than 1.2 billion light-years because, as I said, it was 4.x billion light-years in diameter 9.2 billion years ago? Doesn't that make it even more puzzling?
This why space theory conversation get a little far fetched. Like we have to take a leap of faith to see understand and believe this stuff…
None of this is real.
Is anything really real? Does real even exist?

We theorize that time slows when we move near light speed. How fast is the sol system moving through space and does that apply to solar systems?

As soon as enough lithium batteries are used up you can also extract the lithium and precious metals from them to make new ones. It is called recycling and works fabulously if you actually do it.
Exactly. Requiring battery manufacturers to produce batteries that are designed to be easily recycled, and to do the recycling themselves, would go a very long way.
No argument on using battery technology, but current technology it cost vastly more to recycle lithium batteries than to mine new lithium
@@kevinsulak4258 In large part because batteries are made to be cheap at the point of sale (glued & welded) rather than cheap at the point of recycling (made to be disassembled.)
If the lithium was easier to recover at the point of recycling then the cost of lithium itself would be cheaper to use in batteries. But manufacturers don't make them that way because their competition doesn't make them that way and nobody gains the benefits but nobody take the hit in increased initial production costs.
It's one of the areas where collective mandates are necessary. If battery manufacturers were required to recycle their own products (and provably so) then they would have to start making them recyclable from the point of sale for their own benefit later.
I feel like I watched a video or read an article about there being a few companies that are taking on the lithium battery waste with hopes of improving recycling processes and having it be a massive lucrative investment once it's a viable option
I'm a little disappointed that he made lithium sound like it is rare
Lithium is everywhere on earth. The ocean alone contains a lot in sea water, and we can extract it. I'm pretty sure there are already doing that, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, if they can make calcium air batteries happen. Then maybe we can use that to make lithium air.
If you guys don't know Lithium Air batteries are the end all be all batteries as far as energy density goes. The therotical limit if you use air from the atmosphere like engines do?
Is a whopping 12.3k kwh/kg. That is as much as kerosene! Yet kerosene doesn't have the effiency of using efficent electric motors.
That is as much as the average electric car uses!
So a single kilogram battery or 2.2 pounds could give you a car. One light as hell, and fast as a rocket.
Anyway lithium air should be funded. Last year a team in America got one to work at room tempature.
We just need to get half the effiency on it, and it will be a game changer.
They should be literate and call it the One Ring:
"One Ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And in the Darkness, bind them. "
Thank you
In German this sounds far more epic ngl
@@maximilianschonfeld9549 Please go on...
The Australian batter research is awesome.
Crikey!
Interesting that two of the five topics dealt with how current observations make clear that astronomical sciences and narratives need revamping.
The analogy you used comparing the black hole to a little boy that looks like a grown man reminds me of the Robin Williams movie 'Jack'.
It's like a 'Jack' hole.
Sounds kinky
Can't wait to see what all JW finds out about the universe, and other sensor equipment we put out there.
Not too long ago, we were convinced the sun and planets all rotated around the Earth. What will we find out next that we completely screwed up? Going to be a fun journey.
And watching all the big brains go "But it can't work like that!!" and complain is going to be half the fun.
Its not like the "good ole days" where they defend their wrongness up til they die.
Nowadays scientists actually like being proved wrong, because its exciting and we get to learn more/new things that eventually gets us closer to the truth.
There is no such thing as perfection, but getting closer and closer to it is what drives real scientists forward, and leads to more understanding.
The universe is its transition from nihilism and lack of distinction to its conception in endless forms and forms that match its attributes. For it, existence is that it has revealed itself and its diversity. If I said that it is nihilism, you are right, and if I said that the forms are true, then it is all in all, and He would like to show its transition with every memory, every planet, and every thing. A galaxy. The black hole is its ancient world, which is singularity and nihilism. Then there is creation and various images, and this applies from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy. Existence is nothing but images revolving around nothingness If you go to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, nothing will change. You are a drop in a sea that has no shore. You are the drop, you are the sea, and you are everything.
@@SeraphRyan except for when it puts into question the pseudo religious nature of naturalism and darwinian evolution. Countless examples from science refute both yet what essentially is the flat earth of modern science is still a field of biology.
I had to re listen to that into 😭🤣
At time stamp 4:36 you mentioned "cadium" in reference to nickel cadium batteries. I was unfamiliar with cadium so I looked it up and even allowing for obscure English pronunciation I think you were referring to "cadmium" for nickel cadmium batteries. It may be a snivel, but you are so usually accurate that I have come to depend on your knowledge base and I don't wish to see a spot on your otherwise outstanding record. I enjoy your programs and watch most of them. Thank you for the effort you invest.
Closer to halfway through2024? Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, 10 billion light-years in length (observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter).
"but what exactly?"
When your model continuously fails to predict new discoveries like this, and even worse declares such discoveries as impossible, it's time to consider the possibility that your cosmological model is just flat out wrong.
Maybe start with the possibility that the big bang as proposed never happened.
Compare the list of things that it predicted right against what it got wrong and you'll see why they aren't throwing anything away.
Big bang theroy has been proven wrong
just because 2=1+1
and 2=1+1-1+1
have different equations doesnt mean the answer was wrong. We are still looking for answers. thats why we human think and progresses.
It’s flat out wrong because the earth is flat
@@kevind2163 *No.*
Simon, where do you get your information from? I would also like to keep up with the scientific community but not sure how
OMG the intro was indecipherable for me. love it
The Big Ring (and companion) sounds like another universe interacting with ours in the way that bubbles do.
Quite interesting given the recent theories that the fabric of space at a low enough level behaves like foam and water. Makes ya think!
@@padlockeussysource?
RMIT I go to that uni
Good way to explain space expansion is A fire work in slow motion.
Just watching the spirals, and hotter parts before they fade.
To me, that’s it right there.
Other then nothingness being as unstable.
Like a spark plug, or a vacuum jar about to shatter.
I wonder how acoustic pressure works in space, since acoustics (sound) needs a medium i.e air/water etc to traverse.
I think Simon's beard is getting darker.
Behold! For he is an immortal!

There are theories about number 3, the black hole larger than it should be given current models. Kurzgesagt has a great video on it. Basically, when a black hole forms it's because a star imploded upon it self and supernova'd. This happens when the force of the inner combustion is unable to continue to press out on the star's gravity of its remaining materials and thus implodes upon itself. The resulting explosion is stronger than the star's ability to hold itself together and thus explodes, sending out its remaining material and leaving us with black holes that can only consume matter at a given rate due to the plasma which is created by matter orbiting the black hole pushing out while the black hole is pulling in. In the earliest stages of the universe, matter was much more dense. It is theorized that stars MUCH, MUCH larger could have existed in this more dense universe. Stars SO large that when the middle of it imploded, the resulting explosion was NOT enough to disintegrate the rest of the star. If the MASSIVE star was able to stay intact with that much gravity, it could overcome the outwards-pushing forces of the plasma surrounding the black hole and basically force-feed matter into it. Of course, this is just a theory but one that seems to have a lot of standing in its logic.
A little googling told me the Big Ring is actually the end of a corkscrew of galaxies. It looks like a ring from here. Whether ring or spring, that is one fascinating structure.
Dang
Watching the latest Simon video in his home country!! Passing time a Heathrow.
His home country is Somali. Where he belongs.
Washington State University is my school. Their robots department keeps getting better and better. It's funny because I am an engineer and I witnessed how little resourced they get compared to some schools.
I remember back... almost 20 years ago. When I first heard of the Eridanus Supervoid. It is so wild to me that in just two decades, something as unthinkable as a structure (or lack there-of) at that massive a size, has become nearly standard. Things out there are really big.
I always like the 'we came from a big bang' yeah cool, but were did the big bang come from 😂
According to the theory , it came from a singularity , but nobody actually knows for sure
It's like asking what lies outside Everything.
A better question would be why was there a big bang, or simply, why is there anything other than nothing? it seems pretty elaborate to be pointless.
I always like the "God made the universe" yeah cool, but where did God come from... 😄
The universe is cyclical. Time is an illusion. None of this is cuasally related to our lives though so, smoke a bowl and relax man. It's all good.
YEAH SCIENCE!
*_"It's ScIEnCe!!!"_*
@DarkYuy you are right, and too kind saying "at least a decade"... hopefully we'll find the best solution, I mean hopefully we'll keep looking for it at least
If they want to understand the mystery of the big ring and the giant arc, all they have to do is watch the ending to Men in Black with the alien kid and his galaxy marbles.
My understanding is that lithium is actually incredibly abundant and that there is so much we could never run out.
Extracting it is another matter.
Sadly, Afghanistan has a ton of lithium and other metals that science is interested in, so we can expect continued combat (at some level) so various countries can aquire it. Ugh.
I believe there are two main problems with lithium:
The first is that extracting it is cumbersome, and as stated in the video, causes some pretty massive negative repercussions for the environment. While we likely have more on Earth total, than we can use *currently*, most of it is inaccessible. This puts a huge limit on how much we can actually utilize in manufacturing.
Second, lithium is one of the least abundant elements overall, and more lithium can't be produced. There is currently no known process to manufacture lithium, so the amount we have is the *total* amount we will ever have. So while we might have more than enough for our needs at present, if we ever try to massively scale up our usage of the element, we could easily hit a permanent limit.
@@AeriFyrein Lithium is the 25th most abundant element on Earth, there is more than we could ever use.
But like I've said, it can be quite labor-intensive to extract. That is because it's usually in fairly low concentration.
But they are developing new techniques for extraction that are much better.
There are probably better battery chemistries coming up, but we are not gonna run out of lithium no matter how much we need.
Lithium is kind of like aluminum: it's incredibly plentiful, but it requires a lot of energy to refine.
That's why aluminum and lithium are both great candidates for recycling, and lithium that is extracted from dead batteries can be used again, nothing about it is depleted from use, it's a good as new.
I believe lithium will eventually go out favor for most uses except perhaps air travel and high performance applications. In those cases, high cost and the requirement for other expensive metals in the batteries like nickel, and cycle life downsides will remain worth it. But for just about everything else, cheaper tech like sodium ion will likely take over.
@@patreekotime4578 I totally agree, sourcing these minerals is a pain.
I heard someone has developed WATER-based batteries! How great would THAT be?
Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics - that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look.
This problem, known as the Hubble Tension, has the potential to alter or even upend cosmology altogether. In 2019, measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the puzzle was real; in 2023, even more precise measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cemented the discrepancy.
Now, a triple-check by both telescopes working together appears to have put the possibility of any measurement error to bed for good. The study, published February 6 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that there may be something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe.
Doesn't that just mean we're not at the centre of it? 😂
And a new study, unpublished yet, but discussed at an event, looks at the same data and shows that there may not actually be a Hubble Tension at all and it could all just be an acculutated mistake in how the data is being processed.
I had heard that many space related theories are essentially just speculation (very little evidentiary data) and we should not be surprised if a number of them prove to be wildly inaccurate.
You you just need pipe tape, ptfe, and iron foil. Then wind them really really tightly in a double plate capacitor. Iron is +3, the pull over the distance through the ptfe is maximum. A galaxy tab would hold a megawatt. The trick is to only make strips, narrow little strips, literally pipe tape minus a half, so it's 4.2v..forever.
Nitinol has wonderful properties that should be looked into for making engines
The REALITY is… We don’t know 💩
Nigel casually discovers epistemology
Science has discovered plenty. YOU don't know 💩
More like we know very little, but we ARE very little so it seems like we know quite a bit lol
@@CheesesteakfreakI believe what he means is: the more we discover, the more questions are produced as a result rather than the actual answers
@@pizzafriespasta3910 plenty of answers have been revealed. come on guys you are smarter than this.
Two big discoveries: scientist finds literally the largest thing in the sky. And we apparently never tried just using water for batteries.
The water thing is dumbed down.. a lot.
Saline solutions have ALWAYS been good electrical conductors.. you just run into the problem that is also really good at rusting damn near everything that conducts the electrical charge. The breakthrough was more along the lines of finding a way to make the rusting either not happen, or in a way that doesn't interrupt the flow of electricity.
Calcium does the same thing, it coats surfaces then prevents the flow of electricity.
The discovery was more about the materials/techniques that allow water to be used effectively.
@@SeraphRyanindeed. In fact the power source of the Nautilus in the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is said to be aluminum that produces electricity via the salt in the sea water. So it’s not like the idea hasn’t been out there a while.
@@RandomGreymanestill one of my best reads, even 40 yrs after reading it.
Is it just me?
Light moving AWAY would never be observable, therefore, the age of the universe is actually DOUBLE current estimates based on distances. Seems so simple to account for so many irregularities - I must be missing something?!?
😮😮😮so obviously true
😮😮😮so obviously true
One thing I have learnt through all my years of study. "All I know is that I know nothing". But those that claim to know, know even less... like most scientists... lol
Wait until you discover biological based batteries!
The Matrix is my favorite movie.
That was a real based-up thing to say brugh.
That's a valid point. Some birds can fly across the Pacific without eating anything. Can you (realistically) imagine a battery-powered bird doing that?
@@lcbryant78 That was one of the dumbest movies. The machines would have harvested more energy from whales or elephants and wouldnt need to create a false reality to do so.
@@thebenc1537 in its defence, the battery was the studios idea, originally the humans were used as biological processors which makes alot more sense but studio exces though the GP wouldn't understand this so insisted on batteries.
hello everyone!
Hi!
Hi
Hellow :D

Hello :)
The most amazing thing about this video is that RUclips's automatic transcription system was able to decipher the first few words spoken in this video.
GN-Z11 could also be a relic from a previous or separate big bang back to "void" collapse.
Wow human clones sounds like a source that'll guarantee your body won't reject any transplantation
Lol
I've seen the movie. It doesn't end well.
Or give Simon the ability to create countless RUclips channels
Watch the dystopian movie the island
Why does it seem like nature has failsafes for cloning
It isn't failsafes. It more has to do with how the earliest organisms reproduced that way, but as we got more complicated, we started doing it in other ways, which are not really compatible with cloning. Basically just billions of years of evolution moving us away from that, making it very hard to get it to work now.
from this and other info, couldn't it be that the hubble tension comes from the fact that the hubble constant is just not constant over time. It was higher at start, universe expanded faster, galaxies formed faster as entropy increased faster, now it is slowing down before the retraction?
Yo Vsausce really let himself go...
Talking about the size of what is supposedly a singularity is always weird to me
