After the sun bakes the earth and evaporates the oceans, anyone who discovers it will have no idea at all how beautiful it really was. Makes me wonder if Venus could have been a similar situation already.
Think that's sad? Imagine a far, far distant time, when all the galaxies we haven't actually merged with will have fled from sight. Whoever's around will have no idea there ever were any other galaxies. They'll think the same thing we did 100 years ago: that the Milky Way (or "Milkomeda") is the only thing in the universe. Only they'll be right. They'll have no reason to postulate a big bang. They'll be utterly alone. Now, *_that's_* sad. Rikki Tikki.

It's believed Jupiter formed early, from hydrogen and helium not absorbed by the sun, it's not thought to have a solid core. Rather its core is believed to consist of liquid metallic hydrogen. It's size is due to it forming before the rocky planets and so gobbled up most of the aforementioned gases. No doubt many proto-planets were absorbed by it, in fact it's likely that evolution on earth would likely not have advanced to the degree it has, were it not for Jupiter's huge appetite.
It's been roughly 600 million years since the Cambrian Explosion. In 600 million years almost all the commonly known fossils were laid down. Just ~320 million years ago the coal beds were formed. Plants and animals diverged, fish swam, amphibians crawled out, dinosaurs have come and gone, mammals evolved. In 600 million years humanity could fully colonize the Milky Way... about 10 times over. In 600 million years humanity could build a Dyson Swarm. We could star-lift to avoid the red giant phase, extend our sun's life to 100s of billions of years.
So it was mentioned again that Venus was once similar to Earth before a runaway greenhouse effect. I always found this fascinating because it could be a candidate for prior life forms. But since currently, it is so hot there it melts lead, it would be nearly impossible for us to actually explore it. Is Venus one of the biggest hidden secrets out there? Being shrouded in such intense heat may keep it a secret forever.
Difficult but not impossible. We have sent many probes to Venus and have imaged the surface. Other probes are being planned. The main reason more hasn't been done is that it's expensive and not perceived as that high a priority.
There is a (very recent) hypothesis that a planet twice the size of the Earth smashed into the Planet Uranus and tilted it sideways. This could explain the missing Super Earth type planet in our Solar System!

JMG, I've recently been fascinated by space voids like the Bootes Void. I learned that it's possible that OUR galaxy could be in a void larger than the Bootes Void. I was wondering if you could do a video on it exploring how that would effect our search for life and the development of life itself. Even if you don't make a video on it, the topic itself is interesting to think about! :)
The Boötes Void has kept me awake many times, leaving me either with a deep existential dread or a sort of apathetic horror. There's something mind-numbing about it.
The "Great Emptiness" is a very interesting place. It does appear that we're "out in the sticks" where larger scale stellar densities are concerned though! - phys.org/news/2017-06-celestial-boondocks-idea-void.html
Can we really say we are in a galactic void i mean theres several small galaxies like the magellanic clouds and the significantly larger andromeda in very close proximity to the milky way
I find it unsettling that the total solar eclipses will stop occurring due to the Moon being too far away from Earth at roughly the same time that the sun’s increasing luminosity should start killing off trees, plants and other life on this planet (~600 million years) because of it’s effects on geology and CO2 levels. There just seems to be a lot of coincidences about the nature of our solar system and life on this Earth, especially during our time on it.
Idea for a video...the upcoming disasters to Earth that humans will need to deal with in order of how soon on average they will happen...upcoming ice age, coronal mass ejections, gamma ray burst, and so on
Well, since we're already in the middle of an ice age (though we're interglacial right now), the bigger issue is dealing with the changes once the currentvice age ends. Which it will, eventually. Ice ages are the exception, not the rule. Most of the time, the poles are free of ice caps.
I think the biggest threat we have is ourselves. And not even because of global warming. That will just make things uncomfortable slash cull our numbers. The bigger problem is much closer. Chances are that we will see WWIII in the very near future. Or a sort of "global civil war". And that one's not even the worst case scenario, because if current trends aren't stopped, chances are that our Western values, including our support of science, might disappear. We've already seen scientists, inclueing Nobel laureates, lose their job because people had their feelings hurt. This will get worse rather than better. Look forward to scientific research being regulated based on dogma. And once that happens, we're sitting ducks. But if we can put an end to all the nonsense, all the dogma and superstitions, I suspect that we have a good shot at dealing with everything the universe throws at us. We might put an end to the end itself, both the end of life and the end of everything. Our potential is limitless. We just have tommake sure to not squander it.
@@KaeYoss What a lot of climate change deniers miss is: simultaneously we may be entering a natural ice age, but global warming is happening despite it. Both predictions can be true simultaneously. Which means global warming is worse than we generally think.
We are heading for a Elysium type scenario as for the "near future" I believe in the mediocrity principle... we live in the middle of Earth's time, the middle sized star, middle sized galaxy, etc... we might be a middle class civilization... but if so, I ask myself where are all the more advanced?
We are heading for extinction due to reversible events....that were reversible 50 years ago. It's only a matter of time before a huge war happens due to lack of resources being spread out. But, even if the war doesn't happen to be huge, our extinction is certain within the next 30 years.
Amazing and well articulated channel. You have the perfect balance of staying informative without it droning on, so i’m actually entertained in listening to what you have to say. Really awesome channel!
Thank you JMG. Phenomenally educational. My dear grandfather first taught me about the planets way back in the late 1970's. I've been both fascinated and awed ever since.
So you're telling me, in the upper atmosphere of Venus I could go outside in a T-shirt and jeans and be totally fine as long as I have breathing apparatus? Cool! 😀
John, this is the first video of yours that I've seen. It was wonderful. Not just educational and informative, but the imagery you chose is absolutely beautiful. So much so that I might want to run this on a big screen for relaxation and meditative sessions. I also feel that the data, though generalized, is spot on. My compliments to you and my thanks sir. Liked and subbed!
I was in Kentucky for one of the rarer total eclipses a couple years ago, it was eerie! The summer day started very hot, and before the eclipse proper, the shadows began to look strange; as the eclipse progressed, the sky slowly got dimmer and dimmer. Then, suddenly, an unusually cool breeze blew in, and the day went from a bright summer daylight to something like twilight, and the crowd around me gasped and then fell very silent... we all remarked on that feeling of our hair standing on end at that point, and suddenly against the silence of the crowd, the confused songs of night-time insects and frogs began began to start up in the near-darkness so that it looked, felt, and sounded like night time, adding a weird sense of jet-lag and timelessness on top of the already unreal sensation of the entire event. A short time later, the eclipse began to end, daylight returned, everything began to warm, and the night creatures stopped their song, and everyone began talking to each other in excited whispers at first, their voices rising gradually to speaking voices. Strangers who had camped out next to each other hugged and shook each others' hands and promised to keep in touch with each other later - it's like the event temporarily lifted barriers between people and brought them closer together for that moment in time... of course, everyone would forget such promises as life returned to normal, but just for that day, and perhaps the day or two afterwards, it was like a vast shared spiritual experience that seemed like it would change our lives forever. Anyway, one could easily imagine that, for ancient peoples, such an experience must have been even more powerful for their inability to explain it without magic and gods and miracles!
Excellent as always, and there a were more than a few points I was unaware of. That's why this channel is popular - education as well as entertainment! Looking forward to more amazing quality content in 2019!
One of the most scariest thoughts is i read a story on how scientists think planet 9 isnt a planet and is indeed a primordial black hole. The thought of something that powerful being that close to home is terrifying
Isn't it entirely possible that dark matter doesn't exist, because one of the most common types of stars are potentially almost invisible? I mean if there's possibly undiscovered stars nearby, that we can't see, why wouldn't the same be true of the rest of the universe, accounting for the missing mass?
I don't know why, but I love watching and listening to this content over large glasses of scotch. I swear I don't know why I do this, but Cheers from California everybody! 2:45 had me cracking UP btw !!! Hahaha plz keep it up Me.Godier!!!
It can be likened to far-sightedness. The reason we have such clarity of objects and entities farther away from us, is because certain techniques and mathematical equations help us discover and understand what we're looking at based on the conditions involved. This is harder to do in our own solar system because we are essentially blindly looking for specific grains of sand under our feet, and most of the techniques that work on stars far away only work because we are observing them from light years away. We can't point our telescopes toward our own system. If someone observed our solar system from 435 light years away, chances are they would have discovered most, if not all, planetary bodies and their moons.
Adrian is correct. We only "see" planets when they pass in front of the star and if its a really big planet that is close to the star, we can measure the star wobbling from gravity. The planets we are not sure of in our solar system are so far away from the sun that they are almost completely dark. We can't "see" if there is no light/electromagnetic waves.
"Might have arisen" (not "might have arose"). Otherwise great job. But don't count Earth out in a billion years. We could gradually move her outwards using a cycling gravity tug, energy and the will to do it.
Really good video man, I really like your videos because they are very interesting, they put questions and some answers but ultimately they make oneself think and have curiosity about the topics.

"Plans can, and do, go very wrong." Oh yeah, I totally can confirm, happens to me every other... wait, PLANETS you said. No, that never happened to me... at least something... I guess?
The real names of the planets, from closest to furthest; 1. Buushaati 2. Arxshki 3. Hooberschnüzel 4. Tarhan 5. Waatusk 6. Kahtuey 7. Gurupto 8. Dushump Praise Xenu!!
With Pluto being demoted I think you move on with the ranking of the planets. You just skip number nine. The next planets discovered are number ten and eleven. Number nine is retired. I think the precedent is baseball jerseys.
No, Pluto is like the kid that steals a jersey and sneaks on field with the real players. Number 9 is still available for possibly a super earth that might get drafted by the sun and lead us to the solar playoffs with alpha centauri.
totality is an amazing experience. Saw the great American eclipse a few years ago in Missouri...road tipped with my brother to go see it. was a great time. April 8, 2024 here in Dallas TX we will get like 8 minuites of totality
@@michelemcdaniel6032 This isn't even a real (as in historical) religion they're talking about. It's from a tabletop war-game called _Warhammer 40,000._ Would you like a paper towel to wipe that egg off your face, or perhaps there's too much for that, such that you'd need something closer to a beach towel?
So what we know is almost nothing when compared to what we think we know. Best just to live with whatever fortune has been cast upon you. Be thankful for sunrise and sunset each day, appreciate the things that make you feel content, and always remember that it could always be worse than it is. You cannot plan for a better future, you can only hope that the future becomes better, and try to make it so. But not only for one's self, but for everyone. There will always be so much humanity has missed, and can never recover that all anyone who takes a breath every second or minute or hour of a day can do is to move forward into the great unknown.
It would still be massive, or more massive actually. Which means our gravitational pull would differ from the other planets. This would be noticed if our gravitational pull looked more like what we expect from a super earth.
well, "super Earth" is just a casual name, a nickname- they can't really tell if they resemble ours except being a rocky planet and not a gas giant like Jupiter or Neptune. It would be just as fitting to call them "super Mars" or "super Venus". It's more exciting to think of them as SuperEarths, so that's what they're being called. We're missing a big rocky planet that most systems have, no matter what you call them.
Super earths are more abundant because they are just easier to detect. If you used the same technique to find a habitable planet in a exact copy of our solar system . I'd bet Jupiter would hide our planets earth from swing the sun enough to be detected.
Self evidentiary. Super Earths are abundant because they're prolific. Our solar system not having one, or a Hot Jupiter, infers that there's something odd, maybe even, unique about our home.

Amazing and well articulated channel. You have the perfect balance of staying informative without it droning on, so i’m actually entertained in listening to what you have to say. Really awesome channel!
Great commentary, Excellent graphics, lots of cool information, overall makes it a great video to watch. Well spent time. Thanks so much.
Thank you JMG. Phenomenally educational. My dear grandfather first taught me about the planets way back in the late 1970's. I've been both fascinated and awed ever since.
So you're telling me, in the upper atmosphere of Venus I could go outside in a T-shirt and jeans and be totally fine as long as I have breathing apparatus? Cool! 😀
John, this is the first video of yours that I've seen. It was wonderful. Not just educational and informative, but the imagery you chose is absolutely beautiful. So much so that I might want to run this on a big screen for relaxation and meditative sessions. I also feel that the data, though generalized, is spot on. My compliments to you and my thanks sir. Liked and subbed!
Keep this up! I love your work!
I'm so glad I found this channel. Every video is so detailed and interesting.
“ I designed the Event Horizon to reach the stars.....but she’s gone , much, much further .”
You make incredibly high-quality videos. Thanks for everything you do, and enjoy the New Years!
I bought my ex-wife dinner tickets on Venus. For the atmosphere.
Gotta l Ipye good
practically brought her to hell
Sounds like a hot date
Im so crushed that you didnt invite me
Excellent, well thought out video on ten (10) of the current speculations regarding planets in our solar system.
Wow, I never really thought about Solar Eclipses that way.
I was in Kentucky for one of the rarer total eclipses a couple years ago, it was eerie!
The summer day started very hot, and before the eclipse proper, the shadows began to look strange; as the eclipse progressed, the sky slowly got dimmer and dimmer. Then, suddenly, an unusually cool breeze blew in, and the day went from a bright summer daylight to something like twilight, and the crowd around me gasped and then fell very silent... we all remarked on that feeling of our hair standing on end at that point, and suddenly against the silence of the crowd, the confused songs of night-time insects and frogs began began to start up in the near-darkness so that it looked, felt, and sounded like night time, adding a weird sense of jet-lag and timelessness on top of the already unreal sensation of the entire event.
A short time later, the eclipse began to end, daylight returned, everything began to warm, and the night creatures stopped their song, and everyone began talking to each other in excited whispers at first, their voices rising gradually to speaking voices. Strangers who had camped out next to each other hugged and shook each others' hands and promised to keep in touch with each other later - it's like the event temporarily lifted barriers between people and brought them closer together for that moment in time... of course, everyone would forget such promises as life returned to normal, but just for that day, and perhaps the day or two afterwards, it was like a vast shared spiritual experience that seemed like it would change our lives forever.
Anyway, one could easily imagine that, for ancient peoples, such an experience must have been even more powerful for their inability to explain it without magic and gods and miracles!
I've watched your channel before and loved it. Though with this pandemic I have a lot of time on my hands. I'm kinda binging your videos. So so good.
Your voice is relaxing and calming
Excellent as always, and there a were more than a few points I was unaware of. That's why this channel is popular - education as well as entertainment! Looking forward to more amazing quality content in 2019!
The unsettling possibility of who dislikes your videos!? Haha #1ofmyfavchannels
nearly shat my heart out because of that sudden static noise at 11:06
This channel is the sh*t!!!!.......love it!!!
Just when RUclips was getting boring for me again, John posts another cool video. Happy New Year John. And too all others as well.
John do you narrate any of your books by chance?
His voice is perfect for an audiobook, I hope he considers it some day.
@@maracachucho8701 With such a soothing voice, I don't think JMG would want to be responsible for people falling asleep while driving. :D
One of the most scariest thoughts is i read a story on how scientists think planet 9 isnt a planet and is indeed a primordial black hole. The thought of something that powerful being that close to home is terrifying
11:02 were you trying to give me a heart attack with that😂😂
i want to be unsettled by it but with that voice i can’t it’s so calming
Really nasty sound around 11:05 (at image transition) - if you can edit it out, would be a good idea.
Isn't it entirely possible that dark matter doesn't exist, because one of the most common types of stars are potentially almost invisible? I mean if there's possibly undiscovered stars nearby, that we can't see, why wouldn't the same be true of the rest of the universe, accounting for the missing mass?
I don't know why, but I love watching and listening to this content over large glasses of scotch. I swear I don't know why I do this, but Cheers from California everybody! 2:45 had me cracking UP btw !!! Hahaha plz keep it up Me.Godier!!!
John and the E. H team thanks and all the best for next year.
11:07 literally made me jump
same lmao
Please John, never stop making these awesome short form vids. As well as Event Horizon...
How can we see planets 435 light years away but can’t tell if we have a few residing in our solar system? Does not make a bit of sense to me🤷🏽♂️🤔
Because they see them pass in front of the star that they orbit
SS RIN and no way could we see a golf cart from 270,000 miles. Proving we went to the “ Gladis your going to the moon.”
It can be likened to far-sightedness. The reason we have such clarity of objects and entities farther away from us, is because certain techniques and mathematical equations help us discover and understand what we're looking at based on the conditions involved. This is harder to do in our own solar system because we are essentially blindly looking for specific grains of sand under our feet, and most of the techniques that work on stars far away only work because we are observing them from light years away. We can't point our telescopes toward our own system. If someone observed our solar system from 435 light years away, chances are they would have discovered most, if not all, planetary bodies and their moons.
Adrian is correct. We only "see" planets when they pass in front of the star and if its a really big planet that is close to the star, we can measure the star wobbling from gravity.
The planets we are not sure of in our solar system are so far away from the sun that they are almost completely dark. We can't "see" if there is no light/electromagnetic waves.
THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing.
Thanks John, I've really enjoyed both of your channels since I discovered them late last year. Looking forward to 2019, have a happy new year!
I love me a late night science video!! Thanks!!
You are one of the only people that can make chaos and disaster sound so relaxing. Like Morgan Freeman.
"Might have arisen" (not "might have arose"). Otherwise great job. But don't count Earth out in a billion years. We could gradually move her outwards using a cycling gravity tug, energy and the will to do it.
Andrew Palfreyman omg this bothered me too. This fantastic video with such profound information, and I get fixated on a syntax error.

Really good video man, I really like your videos because they are very interesting, they put questions and some answers but ultimately they make oneself think and have curiosity about the topics. It really wakes up imagination but also helps one appreciate many things of what we know and how we live in this little space of the galaxy. Sincere thanks to you for taking the passion and time to share all of this with any interested person, much appreciated.
"........this amazing universe in which we liiiiiiiiivvvvvvvveeee"
I'm sitting here laughing this comment wins 😂
That's how you know it's JMG. 😂
Percisely the late night content I needed today. Keep up the amazing videos John
🌤Hey Sunshine, I always like to hear your thoughts, this is what makes the imagination come alive with one's thoughts on impossibilities that cannot be imaginable as a possibility however unlikely that it will ever happen. The New Year is coming soon so enjoy your unlimited imagination in 2019 an all the Years following for you an your family John a Happy New Year...
I am so fascinated by this that I want to ramble on in the comments section, but I won’t. Thank you for this great material.
"Plans can, and do, go very wrong."
Oh yeah, I totally can confirm, happens to me every other... wait, PLANETS you said. No, that never happened to me... at least something... I guess?
You should do audiobooks, love your vids man
New to channel. Subbed.
Eclipse totality was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Cannot recommend enough.
Please do an in-depth video on the “ninth” planet!!!!!!
PLUTO
@@fredweller1086 Seriously. They should of had just "grandfathered" it into the planets list, instead of having the politics of excluding it.
I love these type of videos you do. Big fan😊❤
Life has a different meaning for other beings
David Renton just look up the definition of alien, ponder on what this actually means..
Thank you for the videos John ur going a great job
I love your videos
Another great video, thanks for all your work.
Reading warped passages and so you got a shout out in the intro, congrats!!
Hey John you sound very tired in this video. Is everything okay?
Blame Christmas, I recorded this during the silly days and I was bit worn out. Had some really amazing ham at my sister's house though.
@@JohnMichaelGodier You always sound that way. I remember the video when you apologized for looking like a serial killer :D
John Michael Godier That’s good to hear man. Get the rest you need good sir.
IDK, he's kinda got a Barry White cool-vibe goin' on.
I just knew he had eaten some good ham, i could read it in his voice
Good quality video. Educational, entertaining, and awe inspiring.
Love your number 1 mention. My bold prediction has always been, we are the aliens
You Sir, are a GREAT narrator, and I have learned quite a lot from your videos. Glad to subscribe to your channel!
11:07 Is threatening to health of viewers like you. Thank you. 💔
Currently rewatching the back catalog sick, can’t wait for the next Spooktober on this channel!!!
Lets Be honest, we all *love* to sell our species to alien overlords (?) :p
The real names of the planets, from closest to furthest;
1. Buushaati
2. Arxshki
3. Hooberschnüzel
4. Tarhan
5. Waatusk
6. Kahtuey
7. Gurupto
8. Dushump
Praise Xenu!!
With Pluto being demoted I think you move on with the ranking of the planets. You just skip number nine. The next planets discovered are number ten and eleven. Number nine is retired. I think the precedent is baseball jerseys.
There will be no planet 66 for Pittsburgh, if Lemieux has anything to do with it :D
Pluto is the real #9
No, Pluto is like the kid that steals a jersey and sneaks on field with the real players. Number 9 is still available for possibly a super earth that might get drafted by the sun and lead us to the solar playoffs with alpha centauri.
Pluto-lovers. Heheh. And yet everyone shits all over Ceres and Edris, so something hypocritical is going on here...
@@archenema6792 I see Josh Ho-Sang is no longer wearing #66, but neither he nor the Islanders cared about it until fans brought it up
totality is an amazing experience. Saw the great American eclipse a few years ago in Missouri...road tipped with my brother to go see it. was a great time. April 8, 2024 here in Dallas TX we will get like 8 minuites of totality

Take your religious delusions and talk to the flatard channels
@@michelemcdaniel6032 This isn't even a real (as in historical) religion they're talking about. It's from a tabletop war-game called _Warhammer 40,000._
Would you like a paper towel to wipe that egg off your face, or perhaps there's too much for that, such that you'd need something closer to a beach towel?
So what we know is almost nothing when compared to what we think we know. Best just to live with whatever fortune has been cast upon you. Be thankful for sunrise and sunset each day, appreciate the things that make you feel content, and always remember that it could always be worse than it is. You cannot plan for a better future, you can only hope that the future becomes better, and try to make it so. But not only for one's self, but for everyone. There will always be so much humanity has missed, and can never recover that all anyone who takes a breath every second or minute or hour of a day can do is to move forward into the great unknown.
Couldn’t it be possible that Earth is our system’s ‘super earth’ and that we are just an unusually small one?
It would still be massive, or more massive actually.
Which means our gravitational pull would differ from the other planets.
This would be noticed if our gravitational pull looked more like what we expect from a super earth.
well, "super Earth" is just a casual name, a nickname- they can't really tell if they resemble ours except being a rocky planet and not a gas giant like Jupiter or Neptune. It would be just as fitting to call them "super Mars" or "super Venus". It's more exciting to think of them as SuperEarths, so that's what they're being called. We're missing a big rocky planet that most systems have, no matter what you call them.
No the reach was a super Earth but shrunk when it got wet
Thank you for this channel. It is amazing 🤩
I say this a lot. I do it for the algorithm. Just so you don’t consider me a troll.
Super earths are more abundant because they are just easier to detect. If you used the same technique to find a habitable planet in a exact copy of our solar system . I'd bet Jupiter would hide our planets earth from swing the sun enough to be detected.
Self evidentiary. Super Earths are abundant because they're prolific. Our solar system not having one, or a Hot Jupiter, infers that there's something odd, maybe even, unique about our home.
Wow... what a well thought out and detailed video.
