      I’ve never heard of anything like that, but it is well documented that certain sound frequencies that are undetectable to you, but very detectable to your body, can cause major anxiety and dread in people. Oftentimes old machinery and locations like tunnels or crevices that wind can pass through can cause this effect.

Air is a liquid that flows and has currents and eddies like every other liquid that flows. Also the human mind is an incredible liar - we are extremely good at convincing ourselves of something that never happened, but our brain THOUGHT it saw something and therefore you “see” a shadow in the darkness or something out of the corner of your eye when really it’s just your brain fooling you.

In northern and midwestern states it actually gets colder than it does here where I am now (Czech Republic), even being in lower latitude. And yeah temperatures of -30 and 40 are not supper uncommon in big american cities like Chicago.
      I guess just goes to show how big US is, where the South US rarely sees freezing temps, but in the north that is pretty much common place.
      I would say Russia is probably the same but I think all of Russia is in pretty high latitudes so everywhere there gets pretty cold lol.

    • @realzachfluke1
      @realzachfluke1 Год назад +33

      Dr. Loeb is one of the people who truly have my deepest respect. And it boils down to this: he noticed a _problematic conservatism_ persisting among the mainstream scientific community, including his own colleagues in the astronomy community, that had clearly in Avi's eyes been resulting in anti-scientific outcomes, a bizarre, sheltered elitism that created a rift between the public and the scientific community, between what _the public_ (who tend to be the funders of scientific research one way or another) was interested in, and wanted answers to, and what mainstream, award-winning scientists thought was worth studying and looking into-not because they were or are bad people, but because they've gotten caught up in things like their academic bubbles, or their comfort zones, or their preconceived notions of what we can or can't find out there.
      And his response was to use the positions he's worked incredibly hard to end up in, and the respect and reputation he's gained in the mainstream community in the process, and of course _his voice,_ to change that. To *correct* the problems that have been stifling new discoveries for decades, and that even led to the outright bullying of scientists (and people in the general population) who wanted to scientifically pursue ideas that weren't considered testable, or realistic, or were seen by fellow scientists who believed they knew better to be _not worth our time_ to check.
      He is leading by example, and it's absolutely been working, so for that, he's more than earned my utmost respect and admiration. Period.

      The half life of heat in the atmosphere is about 15 days. So take your current temp and calculate. The declineing temp will take short pauses at the vapor, liquid, ice transition points but after we hit the CO2 freeze point in the first 6 months the surface would be pretty much uninhabitable.

    • @KingNedya
      @KingNedya 3 года назад

      @Naturally Perfect It's not Mostly Awesome's fault whatsoever; they were just saying that their Patreon money was well-spent, because Joe made a Shawshank Redemption reference.
      "Patreon money" is money spent on Patreon, which is a site where people can choose to pay a subscription, and the money they spend on the subscription goes to a person of their choice, in this case Joe, as an additional method of supporting creators they like. The people paying the subscription are called "Patreon supporters", or just "supporters", because the money they spend supports the creator of their choice. In exchange, supporters usually get special benefits in comparison to everyone else, usually having their name featured in videos (that's what the names that scroll at the end of Joe's videos are) and/or being able to see videos early, before they are posted on RUclips. It is very common for RUclipsrs to have a Patreon, so that they have a more consistent and reliable form of income, because RUclips isn't exactly the most consistent when it comes to how well your videos do, and therefore, how much money you make.

    Hi - just wanted to clarify - though Thiem Hoang currently works as an astrophysicist in Korea, he is actually Vietnamese.
    I think "a Korean astrophysicist" may leave the impression that he is Korean when in fact he is Vietnamese. Though this may seem like a trivial detail, I think for countries that are often labeled as "third world" or "developing," it is important to point to individuals or other successes that may help combat that narrative.
