Biggest one you missed is Fry's freeze time being 1000 years, but coming out around 8 hours till New Years Eve, accounting for loss of time with slowing spin of Earth and gravitational distortions.
Okay, i understand about the Earths atmosphere still being in motion. Makes total sense, like being in any vehicle in motion means YOU are also in motion. What about the different layers of the planet? i.e. crust, upper and lower mantles ect. ect. Would it depend on the cause of the sudden halt to the planets spin? Like, if the core just stopped vs. some outside force stopping it, like how a person can stop a basketball from spinning with their hand.
To my mind the best physics joke in Futurama is this one: "That's over a hundred and fifty atmospheres of pressure!" "How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?" "Well, it's a spaceship. So I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
It just works on so many levels. First time I heard it I thought it was just a stupid comment made in anger over losing and it's still really funny like that. Then you have the clever physics joke of it all. But I think that it also pokes fun at the typical science-babble of sci-fi with the whole quantum finish part. 10/10 joke

I used to watch this series throughout my teenage years, now as an adult I like to imagine that by the time the year 3000 comes around I'd find out that finally a cure for paraphilia exists. Paraphilia is neurological and inborn so I'd imagine they'll figure out how to rearrange the neurological wiring of the brain to cure paraphilia, brain surgery exactly pretty much, scientists have found out by removing brain tumors that paraphilia is indeed neurological, take out a particular section of the brain where the erotic instincts are cross wired then take that section out then the paraphilia gets cured in a sense with current technologies.

It maybe because you're a physicist, but in the episode "The Prisoner of Benda" executive producer Ken Keeler created a math theorem for a problem where two people switch minds, those two can't switch back directly
@@Itwasalwaysme_Noone Cool, they found a mathematical theorem for a very old concept. It's a problem easily solved by a bit of logical thinking or a bit of mental trial and error. Similar problems were given to me and my classmates when we were eleven years old. Of course we weren't asked to create theorems or proofs.
@@sybariticcupboardrat3763 I mean you know something is a triangle by looking at it, but to mathematically prove it is a different beast entirely. Easily solved by logical thinking, but the idea of a theorem and mathematical proof allows for the problem to be solved without it, so a simple computer could do it without you having to teach it anything. Is it a brand new concept? No. But it is still impressive that they solved it using mathematics rather than trial and error, it makes things easier in the long run than just brute forcing the issue
@@sybariticcupboardrat3763Except the stargate scenario was a simpler version of everything the theorem proved, as it didn’t introduce any number of people into the mix, didn’t come up with a method that would work in every scenario, and did it with the assumption of knowing the current swaps that had taken place.
If you even get your hands on the Futurama DVD Seasons I recommend listening to the commentaries. Not only are they an absolute fun time to listen to but on certain episodes the writers will actually explain some of the writing process for some of the scenes like these.
@@Krystalmyth It actually doesn't fundamentally imply that he couldn't be right. He would be immune to the scrutiny of his assertion, but his assertion itself isn't immune to scrutiny. Scrutinizing the assertion of someone who's mind can't be changed could show that they are indeed correct. A person's unwillingness to change their mind is separate from the correctness or incorrectness of the assertions that they make...
There is a game called "The Outer Wilds" that has a quantum moon and quantum objects in puzzles. The moon was such a mystery to me since before I knew it's name. I always thought I saw it, but then, I didn't. Thought I was seeing things for the longest time. The solution was to take and save a picture of it as I approached and landed on it, stopping it from vanishing by proving it's existence. It's such a bizarre concept that's still beyond my understanding.
That's mad, the idea of him playing Outer Wilds popped into my head and then I read your comment. That game was such an experience! The quantum stuff is great.
Every time, The Late Philip J. Fry gives me chills: speculations about the end of our solar system and the universe make me feel both relieved and sorry I'm not going to be there to witness it

The theoretical length of time it would take, if every thing THAT COULD happen WOULD eventually happen if given enough time, for the exact conditions that created and occurred in our universe and our history would happen again just the same way, about 10¹²⁰ BILLION years.
The Pixelated scene was actually interesting for the show. That episode was made in three parts, Disney-style black and white cartoon, Pixelated-based video graphics and early anime style stereotypes. The point of each section of the episode was that they pointed out something that couldn't be properly seen within the style of that part of the episode. A new colour of the rainbow (black and white cartoon), a very detail piece of physics represented by a pixel (Pixelated graphics) and a very intricate dance sequence (anime). It's one of the best episodes of Futurama and so well written.
Don't bother arguing with creationists, the sheer level of intellectual dishonesty I've encountered doesn't happen by accident. You can't have a meaningful debate with someone who is making bad faith arguments.
to add on to “The End of The Universe” bit, it’s actually the very fabrics of space time on the smallest possible scales, that is being increased in size. think of it as an ever expanding grid made up of infinite grids. The scale of the universe would go up by insane speeds, because of the inflation of dark energy, PLUS the speed of light continuously pulling on it

Futurama is awesome! I love how they incorporated so many little science jokes. On a different note, I think someone else already mentioned this, but the audio on this video is kind of low. Somewhat hard to hear, even with my volume maxed out. Just something you may want to check on!
Big Brain Part of Comment: This was a terrific educational video, glad to be learning more about physics. Small Brain Part of Comment: Is Clark Kent teaching physics now?
“Space/time can do whatever the hell it wants.” That’s the principle the Alcubierre drive is based around. Nothing made of matter can move at or faster then light speed. But space itself can. So if a ship were to be wrapped in a bubble of space, then that bubble could theoretically be moved as fast as we wanted it to, while the ship remained static compared to the space inside the bubble. It’s all theory, of course, and we aren’t even close to being able to generate such a bubble (much less move it), but it doesn’t directly violate anything we know about physics
It's all theory yet it's the only known way we'd realistically be able to traverse the far reaches of space in a single life time. The sci-fi nerd in me wants to believe we can make it happen but we can't even come together to tackle man-made climate change.
In the "evolution" episode, those microscopic robots evolving into greater structures were in fact proposed by, iirc, John von Neumann, a reference most people tend to not notice.
Talking about the expansion of space-time, there's a scene where prof. Farnsworth explains that his ship's faster-than-light travel is achieved by moving the universe around the ship. It can be interpreted as pushing and pulling space-time around it at FTL speeds.
Speaking of Schrödinger's cat, I came up with a Pokémon based on it called Schrödera (the Superposition Pokémon). Outside of battle, it exists as a Typeless, Ability-less superposition of all 19 of its Formes (one Forme for each official Type and one for a rebalanced version of the Nuclear Type). Once it enters battle, however, its superposition collapses, and it changes to a random Forme, taking on that Forme's Type and Ability. Basically, it's randomized with each battle.
Just a heads up, we LOVE when you take time to do explanations about physics. Especially with a show like Futurama where there's so much to talk about. Despite what you may think, we don't have better things to do with our lives besides watch good RUclipsrs on our phones. Take the time you need to talk about things you want. The world needs it. It helps us appreciate physics more and helps us appreciate these shows' little subtleties that much more, as well.
3:19: Proton decay and Hawking radiation are actually theories that has never been observed. We don't know whether protons and black holes will eventually decay into radiation or last forever.
How about some reactions to Stargate? That is a very expansive series but there are some really interesting ones in there. Off the top of my head... A Matter of Time from SG1 should prove to be fun.
The video was really quiet. I had to put it to full volume, so every time there was an ad it was way too loud. Apart from that: Nice video! I didn't know Futurama is so educational! I only watch Disenchantment, which is made by the same people, but very different. Maybe you could watch one of the episodes from Disenchantment where Bean is in Steamland (one episode in season 2 and two or three in season 3). You could talk about what inventions would be possible.
I love this show. I work in a sciencey field, but I'm the only Futurama watcher. Every so often I let out a line from the show related to what we're doing and usually just get a blank look.
I love this. Such a great show and a great commentary on its content. Please check the volume of the video. I had a hard time hearing it at my normal level.
Also, the frog on a unicycle at 11:10 is NOT the original. The original is just a single square pixel (fitting the style of the arcade inspired episode).
just finished katie mack's "end of everything." not too long ago. quite brilliant. goes into everything addressed here, but in greater depth. looking forward to mr. dance putting a book together.
I don't know if you have anything planned for October but I think the series FRINGE would be a good candidate for something on the scarier side. Most of it is Pseudo Science, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and see if anything from that series is at least somewhat grounded in actual science.
As someone who considers themselves a Fry, this was absolutely fascinating. I didn't understand much, but what I did understand was "pretty much our society today" and "I dont want to live on this planet anymore" "mood"
you know what the main problem is with the time machine, Prof. Farnsworth used the Engine Order telegraph for the Turbine from one of the Olympic -class vessels
It should be known that the writers and creators of Futurama are big nerds, heck if I recall they came up with a new mathematical equation for the body switching episode.
You should watch that entire episode about end of the universe. The entire thing is great. I'd recommend this whole series actually. Probably the smartest and dumbest television that's been made and its all hilarious and at times quite heartwarming.
Something I *think* I heard at some point in highschool "By the laws of probability, everything is everywhere, and nothing is nowhere, until we find it, it is both infinite and finite"
Just googled the James Webb telescope - And holy heck that's in 3 days and 19 hrs! Just got that in my calendar thanks to you :)! If I could subscribe again, I would!
Surprisingly many of the writers and people involved with making Futurama were mathematicians and physicists; I remember one anecdote where a grade school class wrote in and complained that in the second episode, they were on the moon running from the Earth’s shadow to prevent instantly freezing and how unrealistic it was, and they got a letter back from one of the writers / astrophysicist that explained how the rate of motion and temperature differentials were actually scientifically accurate. The shows filled with inside jokes that only STEM people would ever get or possibly even find funny and I love them for that.
As a physicist, there are many easter eggs hidden in Futurama that you'll appreciate more than the average person. Good choice! Your audio is a bit quiet in this one, not sure if that's just me.
Biggest one he missed is Fry's freeze time being 1000 years, but coming out around 8 hours till New Years Eve, accounting for loss of time with slowing spin of Earth and gravitational distortions.
Hey Dylan, I don't know much about quantum mechanics either but I know something about quantum computers and those interpretations that say that the wave function doesn't collapse at all need to have another explanation to what happens inside quantum computers, like doing math with their spin, right? Can you have quantum states without wave function collapsing? I remember something like spin up and down are like totally collapsed wave functions in 0 or 1 in bit terms

Talking about the expansion of space-time, there's a scene where prof. Farnsworth explains that his ship's faster-than-light travel is achieved by moving the universe around the ship. It can be interpreted as pushing and pulling space-time around it at FTL speeds.

Speaking of Schrödinger's cat, I came up with a Pokémon based on it called Schrödera (the Superposition Pokémon). Outside of battle, it exists as a Typeless, Ability-less superposition of all 19 of its Formes (one Forme for each official Type and one for a rebalanced version of the Nuclear Type).
Once it enters battle, however, its superposition collapses, and it changes to a random Forme, taking on that Forme's Type and Ability.
Basically, it's randomized with each battle.

12:09 it was at that moment I realized this was zeno's paradox
Just a heads up, we LOVE when you take time to do explanations about physics. Especially with a show like Futurama where there's so much to talk about. Despite what you may think, we don't have better things to do with our lives besides watch good RUclipsrs on our phones. Take the time you need to talk about things you want. The world needs it. It helps us appreciate physics more and helps us appreciate these shows' little subtleties that much more, as well.

Being a HUGE fan of Futurama, I enjoyed this video !
3:19: Proton decay and Hawking radiation are actually theories that has never been observed. We don't know whether protons and black holes will eventually decay into radiation or last forever.

God, Futurama is so good!
Also great video and inside, thank you.
How about some reactions to Stargate? That is a very expansive series but there are some really interesting ones in there. Off the top of my head... A Matter of Time from SG1 should prove to be fun.
Hallowed are the Ori
13:31 And this... Is... to go... even further beyond!

13:22 yep it was launched a couple months ago or so, I love astronomy.
I don’t know how I barely found these videos I’ve been waiting for someone to do videos like these forever
I love Futurama; and your well mannered and knowledgable.

The video was really quiet. I had to put it to full volume, so every time there was an ad it was way too loud. Apart from that: Nice video! I didn't know Futurama is so educational! I only watch Disenchantment, which is made by the same people, but very different. Maybe you could watch one of the episodes from Disenchantment where Bean is in Steamland (one episode in season 2 and two or three in season 3). You could talk about what inventions would be possible.
So am I blind or is the Einstein ring image not in the corner? Btw loving the videos. Keep up the good work.
It's not. I think he forgot it. I googled it though and it looks beautiful.
you missed "The engines don't move the ship at all. The ship stays where it is and the engines move the universe around it." :(
This has always always been my favourite quote on Futurama!
It had an excellent animation sequence that accompanied this revelation, also.
I love this show. I work in a sciencey field, but I'm the only Futurama watcher. Every so often I let out a line from the show related to what we're doing and usually just get a blank look.
Next time they give you the blank look just say.
I'm going to make my own science company with blackjack and h*okers!
I’ve been telling him to watch the Futurama “The late Philip J Fry” time traveling to the end of the universe but he wouldn’t listen 😭
You know me well young Padawan, it didn't let me down!
I love this. Such a great show and a great commentary on its content.
Please check the volume of the video. I had a hard time hearing it at my normal level.
Also, the frog on a unicycle at 11:10 is NOT the original. The original is just a single square pixel (fitting the style of the arcade inspired episode).
Yeah that's unfortunate, he pulled up a meme.
This is great. I want more physicists to watch Futurama scenes 😂
A plasma sphere seems like it would be a good representation of an atoms electron cloud.
My calc 2 class borrowed a series problem from Futurama. Good stuff!
I always love your videos Dr. Dance, thank you for your content
Please do more Futurama..
just finished katie mack's "end of everything." not too long ago. quite brilliant. goes into everything addressed here, but in greater depth. looking forward to mr. dance putting a book together.
My god you got a style man.
I don't know if you have anything planned for October but I think the series FRINGE would be a good candidate for something on the scarier side. Most of it is Pseudo Science, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and see if anything from that series is at least somewhat grounded in actual science.
Dude what kind of physicist are you? A Handsomamatician? holy crap that jawline could take out Thanos.
Something really beautiful about that end of the universe 1 though
“I call it a Hawking hole.”
As someone who considers themselves a Fry, this was absolutely fascinating. I didn't understand much, but what I did understand was "pretty much our society today" and "I dont want to live on this planet anymore" "mood"
I love how he laughs in lowercase lol.
you know what the main problem is with the time machine,
Prof. Farnsworth used the Engine Order telegraph for the Turbine from one of the Olympic -class vessels
It should be known that the writers and creators of Futurama are big nerds, heck if I recall they came up with a new mathematical equation for the body switching episode.
"Good day smart people"
me - "oh, I'll see myself out."
His shadow sometimes looks like Johnny Bravo!!

Never realised how intelligent Futurama really was. Very Cool!
The way the real world works is amazing. Science enables us to see the world as is, not as we want.
gettin sponsorships hell yeah
I'm more on the Hell no end.
You should watch that entire episode about end of the universe. The entire thing is great. I'd recommend this whole series actually. Probably the smartest and dumbest television that's been made and its all hilarious and at times quite heartwarming.
Funniest one is the missing link joke, it's legit how people try to argue that evolution doesnt exist
12:00 oh god the ever losing battle against the movement of goal posts!!!!
Damn, in Australia, even the physicists look like super models.
Something I *think* I heard at some point in highschool "By the laws of probability, everything is everywhere, and nothing is nowhere, until we find it, it is both infinite and finite"
Just googled the James Webb telescope - And holy heck that's in 3 days and 19 hrs!
Just got that in my calendar thanks to you :)! If I could subscribe again, I would!
in that old 8bit video game style episode, on the screen its actually a square dot, not a frog on a unicycle
11:57-12:44
Every evolution debate in a nutshell.

Surprisingly many of the writers and people involved with making Futurama were mathematicians and physicists; I remember one anecdote where a grade school class wrote in and complained that in the second episode, they were on the moon running from the Earth’s shadow to prevent instantly freezing and how unrealistic it was, and they got a letter back from one of the writers / astrophysicist that explained how the rate of motion and temperature differentials were actually scientifically accurate. The shows filled with inside jokes that only STEM people would ever get or possibly even find funny and I love them for that.
You can't see it, but I have drawn "I love you" on my eyelids and I'm fluttering so hard I'm about to take flight.
C'mon everbody, throw this physicist a dollar. His tie is dangerously undernourished.
As a physicist, there are many easter eggs hidden in Futurama that you'll appreciate more than the average person. Good choice! Your audio is a bit quiet in this one, not sure if that's just me.
Biggest one he missed is Fry's freeze time being 1000 years, but coming out around 8 hours till New Years Eve, accounting for loss of time with slowing spin of Earth and gravitational distortions.
Hey Dylan, I don't know much about quantum mechanics either but I know something about quantum computers and those interpretations that say that the wave function doesn't collapse at all need to have another explanation to what happens inside quantum computers, like doing math with their spin, right? Can you have quantum states without wave function collapsing? I remember something like spin up and down are like totally collapsed wave functions in 0 or 1 in bit terms
My favorite Futurama joke is when they go to see a movie at the Loew's [Aleph-Null]-plex cinema :)
Mr. Science guy: fix your volume please. (RAISE it.) Love the futurama reactions. :)
Classic Futurama!
Listen to the commentary for each episode on DVDs it's super smart and hilarious
Finally! physics in ways i can understand! Great video
So hard not to skip the ad but I relented and feel accomplished
