Hey guys, that was great to watch and cheers for showing my photo in your intro. I am chuffed. Epic Spaceman does an incredible job with these productions. He's nailed the balance between education and entertainment and is a terrific guide. He creates a space where anyone can become the observer. Scales often deemed beyond comprehension somehow feel attainable and the true gift is some sense of perspective. Healthy food for the soul. Thanks again, Much love and love much Heath
One of my favorite memories of the "universe" was from when I was in the US Navy back in the 1970's. My ship was crossing the Atlantic on our way to the Mediterranean and I went out on deck after nightfall. It was an extremely calm night, no wind, no waves and the sky was clear. I got my first ever good look at the Milky Way that night. But the sea was so calm as I moved my gaze down to the horizon, still looking at the Milky Way, I could see its reflection on the water, right up to where it was distorted by the ship's wake. It was amazing.
Try going through the Straits of Magellan and noticing that the mountain on one side is chopped and the down slope is now on the other side. The end of a continent BROKE OFF and slid south about a mile. The &^&$%&^% NOISE that had to have made.
that was awesome... really well done, didn't understand everything, but it was so interesting... and caught my attention with how it was done.. loved the photo too in the beginning from your follower, thank you to him for sharing it...
If the Milky Way was shrunk to the size of North America. Our sun which is 1 million times larger in volume than Earth would be the size of one of your blood cells. Our solar or planetary system at 6 billion miles across would be 2 inches on this scale! FYI observing galaxies is my specialty, as I have a video series here on RUclips about observing them.
@@HalkerVeil yep, and guess where he got that info. He just changed 1/2 the size using just the USA, and 1/2 the size of the blood cell. I gave public lectures, and wrote about it going back nearly 40 years. And did a video on the subject 6+ years ago.
@@HalkerVeil FYI it came out of playing with numbers and a caculator a long time ago. Never read it or heard of it prior. Would be a cool coicedence that someone else did the same thing using the same objects for scale. I wrote it here without having to see this video, I guess another coicendence. Oh, and originally the number of the size of the sun on that scale was 7 microns. Needed and object that small for scale and it happend to be a red blood cell.
The general feeling of awe has been removed from many things as I've grown older. It's nice to know that there is still something out there that can truly inspire awe. I think it's great that you admit and correct yourselves when you discover some of your commentary may have been inaccurate. Hopefully the commenters who point out any mistakes do so in a polite way.
It's funny that people think they will find the answers to everything by looking out and the further we look outward the more we will learn about ourselves, and just by the fact that we only live an average of 80 yrs., and we will never be able to even look that far out, tells us the answer is to look inward to find the answers about everything.
The geographic center of the contiguous 48 United States in the complexity of it's overall shape is indeed located in Kansas at about 39 degrees, 50 minutes North Latitude and 98 degrees, 35 minutes West Longitude. This is about 2-1/2 miles northwest of the town of Lebanon, Kansas and about 12 miles south of the Kansas - Nebraska state line.
Completely into astronomy and have been since high school and at the age of 76, that's an awful lot of years. I loved. Your previous videos on the universe and I. Also love this one. There's a little bit of information that I'd like to add to this not agree or disagree with. This video started out by laying out exactly how big the Milky Way is and everything that's relative to it. So with that in mind listen to this following fact, the Milky Way in relation to the size of the universe is the equivalent of an electron's relationship to the human being, which is the one part that we learned today. So if we were capable to sit outside of the universe and look in, we would see the Milky Way Galaxy to be the size of an electron and as we learned in this video when you look at the human form, an electron relationship to it is the exact same. You could go ahead and easily check that fact?
A fun thought experiment is to think about this. It just so happens that there are about as many inches in a mile as there are astronomical unit s in a light year. At that scale the solar system is about five feet in diameter, the nearest star is four miles away. So imagine the earth is only one inch from the sun and then visualize a star four miles away. It's sobering to think of the vastness of space
We travel at 143 miles per second around Sagittarius A* the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy. From the time when Tyrannosaurus rex was walking the Earth to right now we have made one quarter of a revolution around Sagittarius A*. 😳 🤯
I do miss the night sky. I lived on the farm miles outside of town for over 65 years. In the past 10 years my health cost me my independence and moved me into town. I miss the expanse of the farm and especially the night sky. I always wondered if we were the mote in some larger beings universe like viruses are in ours. Good presentation.
I think you guys might either enjoy or be terrified of these but I recommend checking out the videos where they 3d render a simulation of falling into different planets and black holes. The gas giants are scary and the black holes are way worse lol, something about the all consuming darkness lol. Either way they are interesting because they also go through step by step as you encounter new things in the descent.
I read somewhere the visible universe is about 94 billion light years and thats just the visible so it would take travelling at the speed of light 186000 miles per second 94 billion years to go from one side of the visible universe to the other . This is mind boggling big . i think the universe as a whole is mostly beyond human understanding .
While it's old video the Eames' video "Powers of Ten" takes you both in to the atomic level and out to the galactic level. I think you nerds would like it. Welcome to the club!
As far as space travel goes, humans are on one called earth. I am not sure how fast the earth is traveling relative to our local solar system, expanding to the arm of the Milky Way galaxy we are within and the the Galaxy itself relative to other galaxies and if they are in turn clustered, and so on. We (all of currently existing humanity) are by no means traveling in a arc or nice geometric shape like a spiral, rather as a twisting and turning labyrinth at incredible speed (as much as a tenth the speed of light for all we know now). Getting off spaceship earth, where the human is built to exist in relative stability, our physical being immediately starts to decay (i.e., accelerated bone loss, significant decline in cognition likely into insanity). Until these problems as well as others that are yet to discovered are dealt with and solved, humans are not going very far if they do venture much further than we have to date in space. That being the case, the best looking glass to date, the JWT, is the most revealing means to "visit" or see the creation albeit where it was relative to how far away what we see is and the time it takes the light to arrive at our space ship. An interesting side affect of how we are twisting and turning through space is that in order to travel back in time as so many fantasize to be able to do, you would need to go where the earth was and that calculation is beyond any humans ability and likely always will be, not to mention the atoms you occupy now were used elsewhere in the past. Therefore and by an agreed law of physics, the same atoms that make up the you now can't be in two different places at the same time for you to travel back to and be constituted as the set of atoms you are now, so by this reasoning time travel is an impossibility logically.
Proxima Centauri (our "nearest" neighbor) is 4.246 light years away. Given that a light year equals 6.88 TRILLION miles (9.44 trillion km) away from us, I'll let you do the math. But this is to say that if we were capable of traveling at the speed of light (299,792,458 miles per second) it would take 4.246 years to reach Proxima Centauri. Voyage 1 was launched on Sept 5, 1977 and is approximately 14.6 BILLION miles away from Earth. This distance is only approximately 20.5 light HOURS away despite the speed Voyager 1 is traveling and the time it's spent in space. Essentially, Voyager 1, while being the most distant spacecraft to have been launched from Earth, it is still BARELY outside of our solar system.
All mater is made up of atoms. Atoms are 99.9% empty space yet seem solid to us. We are also 99.9% empty space yet things seem solid due to the electric and magnetic force fields within said atoms. *mind blown!*

living in Kansas I would say he is right; it is the nexus of the universe. u don't need a telescope people just grab a cheap pair of binoculars and a lounge chair, enjoy.
The average star in the milky way is 29 trillion miles apart. There are about 100 billion stars. Wounder how an electron would explain the size of the Milky Way. lol
God does not do small. and when he did he still went big. THink about this. Jesus Christ knew all this and out of all that he still loved US enough to give his life for our sin so even us gentiles might have a relationship with God. He was there when the Universe started. he will be there when it ends. good gravy the size of everything. i will never understand people who winge about well how could he do this or this. look at the size of the universe..created by god...The trinity...and you ask how he made some loves and fishes? walk on. lol
We have never traveled through our Galaxy or even taken a picture of it. So how in the hell would we even know what it looks like? I think people are guessing or plain lying.
You're right that there is no way to take a picture of the disc of the Milky Way from our position. However we can figure out the distance from us to many of its stars and we can build a decent 3D model from all that data.
Without people like Elon, we would still be in caves. Elon actually knows how to think and come up with ideas instead of just ignorantly reacting with hatred and envy.
