I love watching the older sci show videos. Hank is even nerdier and more awkward in these. Compared to these videos, Hank is pretty mellow in the new ones
I enjoy how your enthusiasm for science shows in your videos. They're something we will link to in our science blog because they are another helpful resource. Thanks!
Being a CB Radio enthusiast these kinds of things can seriously affect your effective range of receiving and transmitting signals. it can be a pain but when there is minimal solar activity its a pleasant surprise to find you can talk farther than normal!
I love energetic young Hank. This was very fun to watch and made me smile. I am posting this video as a grading comment in my college course Integrated Science, here in sunny Colorado. THANK YOU. And you posted this on my birthday I just noticed. What a great belated birthday present. :-)
You are doing an amazing job!!! I´m graduated in Biology and is refreshing to know more about other fields of science. And you put it rather interesting.
The northern lights on the night it hit were absolutely gorgeous though. I was at a camp at the time, and my cabin stayed up past midnight watching them. Btw, the asplosions at 2:05 look a tiny bit like the sun is going through regeneration...
Quenten Schoonderwoerd Long ways away, my friend. We're not even harnessing lightning strikes. Assuming we have technology that can handle that kind of energy, collecting energy isn't that difficult. However, we don't have a way of storing that energy. It would require converting the nature of the energy (super high intensity really quick to low intensity long term). Sorry, I don't know the technology behind it, just the gist!
+Quenten Schoonderwoerd You dont listen do you? You also seem to lack any concept of physics or thermodynamics..... :( Maybe its because you dont pay attention and just go on idiotic rants, typing in all caps......
If we could, we would be a Type 2 civilization on kardashev scale. At the moment, we are only a measly Type 0,72 civilization, Type 1 could harness majority of our planets energy sufficiently, Type 2 could harness the majority of the energy of a red giant and then there is the Type 3, that could harness the power of an entire galaxy.
I would love if you went in depth about how electricity works. I'm currently in college to be an electrician and I find it fascinating and would love to get a brief overview from you.
My science teacher was complaining about how she couldn't find any informative videos about the solar flares. I'm showing this to her first thing Monday morning!
I think it would be interesting to discuss the chemical signals that trees use to communicate between the leaves and roots - how a tree controls respiration and transpiration. It would be cool to let people know that trees are alive and DO react to their environment. I'm an Arborist so it's a soft spot for me :) THANKS HANK!
@Ryeuni The main problem with harnessing this energy is that Earth's magnetic field prevents most of it from reaching Earth's surface (and it's a good thing that it does, or else we would be in real trouble), so any sort of collection system would have to be satellite-based, which makes the cost unfeasible.
Hank - for the record, John Linnell and John Flansburgh are on record, acknowledging the the sun is not a mass of incandescent gas, but instead, is a miasma of incandescent plasma. Sadly they have not released a remake of their song. :c Nice to see a TMBG fan though, another reason I love this channel.
Hank, can you think of any plausible way for scientists one day to be able to use the energy created in a solar flare? Whether it's a satellite using the energy directly or a mission designed to capture energy and bring it back to Earth for use, is this idea at all realistic? I'm not sure how close one would have to be to use the energy (which, in my thought process, would be the major issue). Thanks so much! I've loved this channel so far!
Very timely since about two hours ago ~1:00pm 1/27/12 a level 3 CME was detected and within an hour the level of radiation coming from the sun had already shown an increase. So thanks for predicting that TODAY would be a good day to post this episode!
you should do a video on nanotechnology, nanomedicine, the standard model of particle physics, the new horizons spacecraft, any other planned space missions, private and government. um, abiogenesis, black holes, project tauros, virology, scanning tunneling microscopy...or anything really.
@schloopfoop Exactly. I didn't know any of that, and it'd be interesting to see a SciShow about it. I think that most people don't really think about why RUclips works the way it does--they just know that it works. (Thanks for the response, btw.)
i think most airplanes have had a recent modification to produce lingering contrails to combat solar storms. it would be great if you guys could do a special on why contrails dont dissipate anymore.
Very cool show Hank. Can you do something with the energy flows inside the human body? How is energy stored, how is it converted and how does that result in muscle movement etc..
Could you possibly do a video on optics? I've always been interested in that area but I don't know much about it because it isn't brought up during school. And that's too bad that 2010 wasn't such a good year for sun spots. It would have been cool if it was.
Do a Sci Show on: Black Body Energy, Eugenics, Formation of the moon, Paradoxes, Space/time, Matter/energy. How memories are stored in the brain, why we breath oxygen, light speed travel, deep sea exploration, rail guns / mass drivers, and cloning.
Awesome idea for something to talk about: String theory and P-Branes. Also, wave functions for particles. If you do these videos i will finally have a quick and easy place to send my friends to when i crack a Quantum Physics joke and nobody gets it.
According to my husband, the Earth's magnetic poles shift about every 11,000 years, which is a thing I already knew and maybe you did too. What I didn't know which he did is that apparently it has been far longer than 11,000 years since the last time this happened. This blows my mind! I think you should make a video about it. Thumbs up so Hank sees this!
@kristinemarcotte Teh Northern Lights are called the Aurora Borealis. I believe the name comes from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora and the Greek name for the Northern Wind, Boreas. The southern hemisphere counterpart is called the Aurora Australis. I hope this helps! (and I hope wikipedia wasn't lying to me!)
I laughed so hard at the san diego comment. I grew up in san diego, but recently moved up to la county. everyone thinks I'm odd because I'm so maladjusted to seasons (yeah, compared to SD, LA has seasons). the weather's just so mild there.
@doodlehh Why wouldn't they need to buffer? You need video data in order to play video, do you not? What youtube does is it streams a bunch of video data to your computer which pieces it together and plays it at the same time as it is receiving more video information. Storing video information before you play portions of it allows youtube to operate with no quality hiccups as a result of internet connectivity problems and allows for everything to run smoothly.
You should do a video about the dual proporties of light, schrodinger's cat, black holes, are we just sticking with physics? because protein synthesis would be pretty cool...cell organelles, midechlorians (jk)...anything.
Can you or John explain frakking? You explained nuclear power really well without giving an opinion on it, I was hoping you could do the same for frakking.
Great show. Its very cool to find an entertaining science channel, kudos. I would like to hear your thoughts on relativity pertaining to time and momentum, Also if you could break down M-theory, wormholes, unification theory, gamma ray bursts and the Planck epoch, we would appreciate it.
I'd like to see a video about particle physics. Specifically, the things mentioned in Your song about quarks. I'm somewhat lost on the whole making of protons and stuff.
Maybe you could do a short one on the magnetic poles of the Earth flipping. I know there's not a lot of info on it and it's all really unpredictable, but when you were talking about the sun's poles I thought it would be an interesting topic to get in to.
I really want to go farther up north next time this happens so I can see the aurora borealis! that would be amazing.. I saw pictures from this last one and they were beautiful! especially the ones from space
It's weird, New Scientist published an article very similar to what was spoken about here around 3 years ago, and in the same edition they had the foldit protein game.
Love the sun. Sorry I didn't quite catch how you call the Northen Lights in English (I'm French), is it Aurores or Auroras? In French it's Aurores and you have a tendencies to end words with A when we finish them with E (like Florida). Love that you are doing this show, btw, it's everything I love condensed into little balls of awesome!
Even though I knew what he looked like without the facial hair (obviously) it just worked so well with this channel so it is still funny to see him without it.
@emmalikesdragons The amount of energy released from squashing atoms together is greater than the energy released from splitting them. Plus the fact that a splitting-atom bomb is needed to provide the heat and pressure to fuse the hydrogen.
@awildelife I highly doubt it. I think that the main reason we've only been getting two a week (most of the time) is because he would run out otherwise.
@emeraldstar102 This was the first one we've seen where he didn't have his beard. He shaved his beard in December. So, yeah, I imagine he shot a whole bunch of these and is releasing them on a schedule.
Actually we can't be sure. This is only a theory, but I am glad that you, unlike other people, are not afraid to state your opinion. My theory is that as Multicelluar life formed, it developed new orgnas and systems and that at a certain period of time something slowly transformed into a chicken and later it developed a technique of laying eggs. Yeah, i know it's a pretty weird theory, but you still cannot call it dumb because as I already said we CANNOT know FOR SURE what happened.
@singingdragon Technically the first show without it was the update on the higgs boson. =) It appears that there is a bit of a post production period for this show (which explains why we're just now not seeing it.
Hank, you should do an episode about Gamma Ray Bursts. Much scarier than CMEs because THOUSANDS HAPPEN EVERY DAY. And it just takes 1 pointed at earth to cause a massive disaster scenario.
Can you teach us about cloud types and why iridescent clouds form/happen? I see iridescent clouds quite often, which is odd because I've heard they're rare...
Please do a video on the concept of a space elevator and its implications (such as the possibility of massive solar energy farms in orbit that pipe energy back to Earth via said elevator)
I like the dose that he has been giving us, but I thought this was created to also have a single subject taught to us in a series of videos. Not complaining, just think it would be cool.
Hank, could you talk to us about "moon bases" and how possible Newt Gingritch's idea of the US having one would be. Would it take long and be more expensive than it's worth? What would the benefits be?

no such thing as nerdx or awkward about it, do some science etc s k, no nerdx etc nmw, and no lx about it, idts

Holy Moaning Myrtle... Hank Green you are my favorite human being.
Eden Mullins yes and why a San Diego reference?
The question is why Harry Potter reference??
Okay I got it, just saw video from beginning again
"Holy Moaning Myrtle Jesus!"
I'm not expressing shock with any expression other than this one from now on.
Me too

For some reason I understand and remember things way better if I hear them instead of read them. SciShow is awesome for me!
Here because of some solar flare news. A G3 one. Hoping to see you explain in future videos. Lovelots!
@CanadianFate Do you have any idea how long it takes them to make these videos? THIS IS a full time job and it IS their day job. :)
You are doing an amazing job!!! I´m graduated in Biology and is refreshing to know more about other fields of science. And you put it rather interesting.

I have no suggestions or anything... I just thought I'd say how much I love these videos...Yeah. I love them.
2:24 WHY AREN'T WE THINKING ABOUT A WAY TO CATCH AND STORE AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF THAT ENERGY????
Quenten Schoonderwoerd Long ways away, my friend. We're not even harnessing lightning strikes. Assuming we have technology that can handle that kind of energy, collecting energy isn't that difficult.

@@Mazaroth I wonder what can a Type 4 do tho 😯
@@trxshyfr me too, 🧐
Just got done hearing them talk about this on Science Friday on NPR. Your explanation is just as wonderful as the "sun experts"
I would love if you went in depth about how electricity works. I'm currently in college to be an electrician and I find it fascinating and would love to get a brief overview from you.

I love how you can tell the order Hank recorded these in, because he's gotten so comfortable with it! ^_^
This is my favourite episode yet, it's really interesting.

I am really loving scishow! It's so great! I didn't realise I'd love it this much.

Why does Hank Green make science so much better?
Could you venture down the road of waves and colors? Like frequency and pitch and how they relate to color intensity and hues and whatnot...
I wish you guys did stuff more often cause its so awesome!
That 'bye' at the end was a little of an anticlimax, Hank.
I watched it several times.
Very timely since about two hours ago ~1:00pm 1/27/12 a level 3 CME was detected and within an hour the level of radiation coming from the sun had already shown an increase. So thanks for predicting that TODAY would be a good day to post this episode!

Hi Hank! Maybe you can do a show sometime on why high-fructose corn syrup is unhealthy as a sweetener. Love the show!
it's true, fMRI = fancy MRI.
BTW, National Geographic magazine put solar super storms on its cover this month, and it has some amazing pictures!
Me and my science class today had a extremely fascinating discussion about worm holes and stuff. May I suggest you talk about worm holes next time??
i think most airplanes have had a recent modification to produce lingering contrails to combat solar storms. it would be great if you guys could do a special on why contrails dont dissipate anymore.
Very cool show Hank. Can you do something with the energy flows inside the human body? How is energy stored, how is it converted and how does that result in muscle movement etc..
this is gonna be my new sunday wisdom source! thnks Hank!!
I was three feet away from Hank Green last night. I still can't get over it.
HOORAY FOR TMBG REFERENCES!
Thanks, Hank! You just helped me understand my Astronomy homework. :)
i am of the opinion that Scishow and Crashcourse are the 2 best things to happen to RUclips, as of late :| keep it up guys! :)
Could you possibly do a video on optics? I've always been interested in that area but I don't know much about it because it isn't brought up during school. And that's too bad that 2010 wasn't such a good year for sun spots. It would have been cool if it was.
i love how i learn more in just one sitting of these videos than i learn in one week of school.
I seen the Northern Lights tonight , I live in British Columbia in the northwest coast. I seen the energy they had, as if it were moving.
Do a Sci Show on: Black Body Energy, Eugenics, Formation of the moon, Paradoxes, Space/time, Matter/energy. How memories are stored in the brain, why we breath oxygen, light speed travel, deep sea exploration, rail guns / mass drivers, and cloning.
I love how Hank always fixes hus glasses when he's talking. It's just ao cute!(;

Solar Corona...?? Solar Corona? Corona? Coronaaa???? Cooorroooonnnnaaaa?????? CCCOOORRRROOOOONNNNAAAAA?????!!!!!!
I loved the TMBG quote... A bit sad when you didnt say miasma of plasma though... Oh well
(Goes back to listening to why the sun shines)
I feel like the goatee made you look sophisticated and mature while still being a huge nerd on a sci show.
Another extremely informative video. Well done Hank :)

What IS your day job, Hank?
WHAT DOES THIS MAN DO?
Is he just professionally awesome? That's the best I can peg him down for.

@unimaginablyawesome One of the best things about TMBG is that they CHANGED THE LYRICS TO THEIR SONG to match the newest scientific discovery.

I was wondering if you would talk about the flares. Cool!
Do and episode on the different types of forces! i.e. strong and weak nuclear, gravitational and electromagnetic!
Just a couple days ago my brother and i were talking about Solar flares, in which he mentioned the 1800s one.
Thank you, Hank. I definitely learned something, and these SciShows are absolutely killer.
Hah, thanks for not quitting your day job.

Living the channel but would really enjoy more. Maybe 8-10 minutes.

we learned about this in astronomy class the other day, but this was way more interesting :P
So good Hank, keep these coming!
TMBG reference. Why is this perfect.
Hank makes science interesting :)
