I spent the last 30 years of my working life contracted to ESA. In all those years I have never heard this well known story explained so succinctly. Thank you so much Professor Burnell.
She's right about female physics professors being a bit more insane than the already insane male ones. One of my professors live tweeted tumble drying a towel
i dedicate this to my friend Gururaja Rao my ertswhile colleague in A.D.E. Bangalore who was a great astophysics enthusiast. Unfortunately nature took him away a few years back!
The catastrophic explosion of a star reminds me of something similar I witness in nature namely ' pollenation' when the seeds burst out of ripened fruit or flower of a plant to aid in dispersal and germination. Is this the way nature work ? I wonder !
Actually, the 1st and 2nd generation stars of the universe are called seed stars. They literally seeded the universe with the elements needed for life to be able to exist..
It’s not clear to me whether some of the planets are formed before the star sparks into life or they are made after. It may be both in a dynamic system…..ever evolving…..never static.
Because it is believed that all life was once in the water but then one fish came out on land and adapted to live on it which later led to further evolution of life on land....and in turn us humans
You could even compare earth to what is was portrayed as in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. An enormous supercomputer. Yes, the 7 billion minds on this planet form a supercomputer, albeit with excruciatingly high latency due to communication speeds never exceeding about 10 bytes/second(speech). But what has been achieved on this planet was never done by a single individual, but by many. On that note, Elon Musk's neuralink is intended to remove that 10b/sec barrier.
whoa whoa whoa hold up, those answers came from evangelical students in rural America lololol. Every urban citizen of a modern country reserves the right to disassociate themselves from those who live in backroads!!!
I Remember asking My Grandma About Anything Interesting that she knew about Ancient Aztecs/Mayans and she Told me that Our Ancestors use to Emphasize that " We Came From the Stars" Now I don't know if This Lady and The Aztecs Knew each other but Apparently Have the same Idea. 😎

Thank you so much Professor Burnell.
I swear I would have paid attention in physics and chemistry classes if my teacher used her method.
Brilliant person.
one of the few TED talks, I listened without skipping any portion :-)
I love Her!! She’s not crazy, She’s brilliant!
Brilliantly entertaining and educational! 👏🏻

A great lecture for dummies. ;) Thank you so much, Ms Bell Burnell.
How do you know all this Jocelyn, your really smart, I really appreciate kind of how you know all this, its so unbelievable
Why does this video not have views that too over a period of 7 goddamn years
Fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We are the universe!
Like... literally. That's so cool though.

F A N T A S T I C !!!! A must watch video.
Outta this world!!!
Now I get it why we say that when we die we turn into stars which was actually tje opposite

Ella es perfecta, maravillosa profesora Joselyn Bell!!

Yeah, that's right, and all those stars forming and then exploding only took 6 days.

Everything made from everything
The impression of cuckoo style characters are infact the geniuses. Jocelyn Bell had made me understand better why we are here and definition of Stars.
If we are actually stars, are our thoughts and intentions also the result of those dead stars?
We aren't stars, we just grow out of the elements that formed in stars.
@@ihcterra4625 Does this fact negate the assumption that I have raised
@@lastdor which?
@@ihcterra4625 I’m a star.
@@sandramedina9482 Alright hold tight I'm a highway star.
Explosions + time = astrophysicists
We've been cursing that fish for coming out of the ocean....while all of this was started by stars.....😡
Why curse that fish?
Because it is believed that all life was once in the water but then one fish came out on land and adapted to live on it which later led to further evolution of life on land....and in turn us humans
So we are the Universe come to be aware of itself, we could say...

well presented.
We're all Astartes...
"inadvertently" because she's a woman ?
no we aren't!
But who made the star stuff?
Why have so few watched this?
she sould get a nobel price.. oh wait...

She found the pulsars but no one said that she found i saw before minutes a video about i almost famous new york times pls watch it
Conclusion is we are immortal
