It ended up getting stuck in orbit for a few minutes because it hit the orbital probe cannon before it's orbit decayed enough to fall down. From there I was able to make my way to it and fix it just in time for the supernova

    I'm freaking out.......... The interloper has two tails---- one for steam and another one with charged particles influenced by the Sun's radiation. I learnt about it a few months ago, and instantly thought of the Interloper.
    And the thing is.... Timber Hearth is the only planet with thermal stuff inside, I think it0s supposed to make it more suitable for having life in it?
    I'm Physics degree student, and I literally have no complaints with the Outer Wilds science. It's just perfect, and funnier as it is. Even both nomai and hearthians can represent a lot of what I think the passion for science is, and the way the work of the Nomai was useful for people who came next.
    I have one thing to say: I recently saw the documentary on the making of Outer wilds, and remember they said they decided that involving Relativity on the black holes would be too complicated. On 10:55 I just think you mixed it with Quantum stuff and got a different interpretation of the Solanum's fate ending. It doesn't involve time dilation (like in Interstellar). For Solanum, 6 quantum possibilities were created and on 5 of them she is dead. That's what I thought! Under a strong gravitational force time would happen faster, actually.
    Anyway, you are not a science youtuber, and you made a great video explaining some of the topics!
    Also... you didn't mention it, but the fact that the tornadoes on Giants deep pull you up or down depending on its rotation is also referring to a physical phenomena. Ciclons/hurricanes do behave in diferent ways according to its way of rotation. It is due to the Coriolis force. Though it's not exactly like that, hurricanes always rotate in the same way when they stay in a Earth's hemisphere. Just wanted to say it!

      I was worried about this lol. An actual scientist. This videos bane. lol. Glad to know I got it mostly correct. Though I have a question. I thought satellites clocks ticked faster than the ones on earth. I assumed it was due to being further away from the gravity field. But now im perhaps thinking its the velocity causing this? or have i gotten that backwards as well?
      Also, with solanum. yes, shes 5 6th dead. but i see no reason that when we die there it would give us the text "have we been here for minutes. or years? we are not quite sure but our journey is at an end". That "minutes or years" is what made me think it may be a nod to time dilation. And I Even made sure to say may. lol

      Yes, you are confusing both things. You could say there are two different kinds of Relativity. Special Relativity and General Relativity.
      Special Relativity is cool (actually, I think anyone could really understand them if explained good enough). It's about objects when they are near the speed of light.
      General Relativity comes up when they involve gravity.
      Satellites have to move fast, but they are not even close to the speed of light. It's the difference of Earth's gravitational field what causes the time dilation, even if it's miliseconds or something like that.

    • @TheLoreExplorer
      @TheLoreExplorer  3 года назад +7

      Yes. That's what I thought. the sattelites clocks tick faster since they are further away from the gravitation field. But you said more intense gravitational fields would actually make time tick faster in the oc. So now I'm double confused lol. But I do now see your point. Times not messed up cause solanum is quantum. Times messed up cause She's essentially a quantum ghost, stuck there forever.

    • @mikeschm.6810
      @mikeschm.6810 3 года назад +2

      I'm not a scientist either... But if I think of Interstellar, the water planet and the scientist on it being dead for about a few minutes while on earth, ten years have passed: It seems quite logic to me that for Solanum due to her being close to the gravitational force of the Eye, much less time has passed than for us and the rest of the solar system.
      But: If we think of it like that, it should not be possible to get back from the sixth location. That's because the sun should have gone supernova in rapid speed (relative to us) while we have been there. Or at least the time loop would have to be somehow shortened.
      Did I get something wrong?

    Important to point out that the use of "observation" is fictional. In reality it just means an interaction, not a conscious being perceiving it. A photon can exist in multiple spots centered on the most probably position (high probability of being in one spot, low probability of being miles from that spot), but when it collides with an electron and gets absorbed, it can only exist in that one spot. This collapse of probaility occurs with or without perception (what we assume when we hear observation)
    We call it observation bc the only way to observe particles it to either shoot them at other particles or shoot other particles at them and measure the results, like a photodetector wall that changes colors at the point a photon collides with it

      Well I think he's wrong. Whiles yes, there is less mass beneath you as you get closer to a planet's core, there's also more pressure above you, so your gravitational pull would increase, not decrease. This is the reason planets(and stars)have very very hot and dense cores! In fact, more mass there is, the quicker the gravity gets stronger! For example, on a planet like earth, the gravity changes are pretty minute when you change elevation, because it's a relatively small planet, but with a black hole(something with incredibly dense mass), even inches can change your gravitational pull, drastically so, so your feet are pulled a lot harders than your legs, and your legs more than you torso, and your torso more than your head, so you get pulled apart, millimeter by millimeter! Death by spaghettification.

    • @TheLoreExplorer
      @TheLoreExplorer  2 года назад +4

      I mean. I could be. But pressure isn’t a magical force that gets higher the deeper you get. It’s created by other things. Such as gravity. Heat. Other forces. A normal planets core has tons of pressure because all the weight above them is pushing down on it with no where for pressure to escape. A hollow planet doesn’t have that. It would only have a slightly higher pressure due to being deeper in the atmosphere and more of that is pushing down on you. That should be the most significant thing putting pressure on you in the center of a hollow rocky planet.

    Im surprised you didnt mention how the coriolis effect also exists in this game, if you go to the north/south pole of a planet and try to jetpack your way onto the opposite side in a straight line, you wont be able to, because the planets rotation will make you move in a diagonal if you check the minimap

    • @TheLoreExplorer
      @TheLoreExplorer  3 года назад +7

      hmmm. so, oddly enough. Even if you did make a "straight" line from north to south pole, the rotation would cause the same vertical line over the surface. the Coriolis effect(from my understanding) is due to the rotation adding to your velocity if youre traveling the direction the body rotates. which would only really be seen while trying to achieve orbit. in ow we just kind of bust through that with super powerful rockets. but i could be wrong.

    Quantum Moon and the first rule of quantum rules in the game is also backed by quantum physics: quantum physics suggest that light has dual properties: energy or particle, and its state is dependent on the observer i.e. which experiment you're conducting to reveal the property of light. Also, ofcourse, there's this famous schrodinger's cat thought experiment which described Solanum statues on the quantum Moon being both Dead AND Alive depending on how/where you observe her

    • @TheLoreExplorer
      @TheLoreExplorer  2 года назад

      No offense. But not really. Anything like that can only happen in the particle state. And the observation doesn’t require consciousness. Even the wall observes particles. And the Schroedinger experiment was made to prove that’s not how the world is. And even so. Solanum doesn’t represent this experiment. She’s never both dead and alive. Until we open a box. She’s always dead in 5 boxes. And always alive in 1.

    -Kepler's- Newton's law of gravitation states that the gravitational force exerted by an object on another is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two [centers of mass].
    The force of gravity experienced by a planet's inhabitant would increase as they traveled to the planet's center, not decrease - as for example they'd experience as they traveled away from the center and left the atmosphere.

    Wait... how is the periodic hourglass effect possible? At one point, either Ember receives enough mass to absorb the entire Ash twin, which will not have enough pull to get the sand back, or they get to a point of equilibrium where the sand exchange stops because neither twin is strong enough to get the sand back. The infinite back and forth is definitely not a realistic one

    • @TheLoreExplorer
      @TheLoreExplorer  3 года назад +3

      I don’t think what we see in game is possible or realistic at all. It’s just the idea of constant matter exchange that’s realistic. The earth and moon do it all the time just not on the scale of the game. The sun blows earth participles to the moon. Gravity and the sun pull and push particles from the moon to earth. In my theory video for the hourglass twins(which is just trying to explain what we see, not what’s really possible) I attribute it to tides and random planet alignments. The promotional material for the hourglass twins do point to tides but abstract ones that aren’t realistic.

    sry about brittle hollow but its definitely not orbiting, if the equator is moving fast enough to be in orbit then the gravity + the spin would make landing on its surface be effectively zero G or negative, similar to how a ringworld will have a stronger "gravity" the lower you go. Plus the poles would be stationary, so no orbit is keeping them up

    Ik this was a long time ago and someone probably already covered it but there is a theory that black holes are just curved 4d space-time im considering time as not a dimension as it's liner, but anyways if this is the case than worm holes short cuts through space-time would apprar as a sphere to us and black holes have space traveling ftl which means one way travel and im assuming that the nomai a type 3/galactic civilization probably stabilized the black hole so it works as a worm hole. This is why i like sci-fi it expands theories we have no clue if they're even true and can make things not seen as possible today possible and explainable, like gravity crystals, naturally occurring artificial gravity never thought id say natural and artificial in the same word lol, but im assuming they're just very dense with a lot of counter force but the gravity is quite strong making sure that the crystal aint some star lol.
