Ok, i have one that isn't about space...and maybe you already did it, but....here it is; Back in the olden days (before cell phones and CGI) we were taught that dinosaurs were cold blooded reptiles that dragged their tails and were about as dumb as a smart rock. At some point we found out that they were warm blooded, held their tails horizontally, had feathers, were relatively intelligent and were related to birds. The person at the forefront of these revelations was Robert T. Bakker. How about a segment on Bakker (himself a very interesting guy!) and the "evolution" of our understanding of dinosaurs?

Watching Avi Loeb's evolution from 'respected Harvard astrophysicist' to 'guy who talks about aliens on RUclips' has been one of the many adventures of the pandemic.
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.

something we talk about in canada a bit (because of the differences from east to west) is a wet cold vs a dry cold. a dry cold is like walking into a hockey rink. np. A wet cold feels like you can't get away from it. I'd imagine it has something to do with heat transfer and the moisture in the air. The temps aren't as low but you feel it easier
I live in Canada in a place were it's -40C in the winter and +40C in the summer so when I heard Texas hit -4 I kind of just scoffed but now I realise that for such a hot place that must be super super cold. Edit:Saskatchewan

to put it another way - i live in ohio. ALL of the buildings not made of concrete or some shit have an angled roof - in oklahoma where i lived for a bit, most roofs are flat. because, up here, 6+ feet of snow might fall, and the angled roofs will let that snow not collect as dense. texas got hit with a level of snow not even their buildings were built with the capacity to be able to handle.
Watched a video from you for the first time a couple days ago, and I've just been binge watching your entire channel.. Really interesting and funny, keep up the good work! - Science nerd out
The fun part about Omuamua is that this object estimated to be between 100m and 1km long sped through our system at about 85km/s and we only spotted it *on its way out* Would've have sucked if it was on a collision course with us, blinded by the Sun we basically would've learn about it on impact.
I discovered this channel right at the beginning of quarantine last year, and I've been looking forward to your content every week ever since, keep doing what you do!
@Naturally Perfect it’s Finnish lol it’s basically a joke among Finns that since their country’s so obscured, when their country/nationality/language gets mentioned at all they say “Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan,” which translates to “Finland mentioned, meet at town square/center” i’m not Finnish myself, but I have Finnish friends who let me in on the meme after stumbling upon it on the internet lol

Hey, I worked on ANITA! I built the temperature sensors used to monitor the temperature of the preamp on the individual antenna horns. But, my (admittantly scant) knowledge of Neutrino Physics is that high energy neutrinos do pass through the earth and then (occasionally) interact with the Antarctic glacial ice. Those are the types of neutrinos that IceCube (installed near the South Pole) is primarily looking for.
First of all - Chapters are great! Keep making segments. Second - askaryan radiation, reminded me of equivalent under water - cherenkov radiation, very cool! Will read more about that!

Before I even watch this video, I'd like to point out that Omuamua is not a mystery. It is clearly the probe from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. That is all. Let the learning with Joe begin -I-
Maybe it was a significant period of time, and we only saw the last panel put in place. They were probably busy making it since before we started recording.
@@Bob_Lob_Law Would be a hell of a job building a Dyson sphere around a star that big, not necessarily a good choice. And to the OP they're unlikely to be natives evolving to that level around such a young star, or do you think we're late developers?
8:40 "Go watch TENET if you're confused ..." Just perfect, because you just have to watch TENET backwards and you'll start confused and end without knowing anything about the movie ... 🤷🏻♂️
Why is Omuamua's movement considered so mysterious? Given the trajectory for it that was on screen, it seems to me like it just got caught in our sun's gravity and got a speed boost from that.
So you think that in roughly 10 seconds, you, some random person, can solve the mystery that’s eluded actual experts in this field… I would assume that if the answer was that simple, it probably wouldn’t be a mystery anymore…… particularly to the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this sort of thing…
@@Fayanora or YOU, can do me a favor, and just stop talking to ME. It’s not my fault you and op combine to equal less than half a useful fucking brain. Grow up dr know nothing 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
This was a great video, I love the chapter format, and you managed to keep it all tied together despite being relative disparate subjects nitpicking: LHC proton-proton collisions measure 14TeV. each individual beam has 7TeV, but in this system we have two beam traveling in opposite directions.
It's amazing how adaptable people are. Here, 25℉ means that I can take the trash out to the street in a t-shirt and shorts (barefoot if it's dry) if I hurry and there's no wind. A typical summer day in Texas would just about kill me though.
And cherenkov radiation is the visual equivalent of the phenomena. The key phrase is: "Faster than light _in the medium"._ - Which is a better way to say what you said about light in a vacuum.
i love that a lit of these are “well it could be this thing happening but it cant be because thats never happened before” like yeah,,, thats it happening and being recognized for the first time lmao
Joe, normal, main sequence stars (such as ours) are constantly undergoing fusion. That's what keeps stars like that shining. That's how they work. Stars don't suddenly undergo fusion for the first time, when they explode as a supernova.
I believe the star was only recently noticed, given that our powers of obsevation are increasing constantly. That was my understanding of the situation anyway.
@@Trev0r98 You were explaining that main sequence stars don't blow up into a supernova as soon as they start burning, I merely pointed out that because we only just discovered a star doesn't mean it only just came into existence (obviously not taking into account the time difference due to distance). I didn't think it was that complicated.....
@@Trev0r98 My mistake, I assumed what you wrote was what you meant. How autistic of me to think you'd make sense.....I'm from Yorkshire, I say what I mean. If you meant something else you should have said that something else. I took your words at face value, duh!

Solution for Omuamua has been published. When you project that it is made up of nitrogen ice, it resolves all the issues about its albedo, shape and slightly higher acceleration that other typical (to our solar system) icy comets. Pluto has surfaces of nitrogen ice, so you clearly can form comets of same makeup.
Think I read something about that it was saying it sped up because the ice being melted by the sun acted like a jet engine pushing the comet thru space
I just discovered your channel on Nebula and I am BINGING. I really enjoy the material and your presentation of complex and mysterious stories. One note I have is your use of the word “theory”. Many of the theories to which you refer are actually hypotheses, not theories. I’m probably late in making this observation, but wanted to put it out there. Again, really enjoying the channel and your stuff on Nebula is even better. Keep it up and thank you!
@@coltonbates629 That might be a big reason why people tend to go back to superstition and unreasonable beliefs, just because science can't yet answer the deepest of all questions. It confuses me quite often, we are so advanced and know so much about nature, but can't answer the really big questions ...
In my opinion, Oumuamua flew through the solar system way too efficiently to be anything but an alien craft. It was probably a cargo ship that used the Sun as a slingshot to go faster.
Or it was a probe that was on its regular visit to the solar system, in order to find out if anything interesting has happened here since last time a probe passed through. That's my hypothesis.
From what I've read, Oumuamua may have been a disk of frozen nitrogen looking like a cigar from the side, and would actually behave like a comet with an outward acceleration when leaving the system. N2 gas being invisible, its tail would be too. Which at least seems much more plausible than aliens 🙄
Wouldn't that have disintegrated given the idea of how long ago it was formed. How did it survive n travel for so long in a roadway filled with everything to disintegrate it
@@randomlyswatching9481 they believe that's what gave it the cigar shape, objects crashing into it. Try to think of it like trying to hit a needle pin with random debris. With the scale of the galaxy that makes it effectively the size of a needle in comparison
@@bigprojects2560 who's they. Clearly all of the one's who published papers didn't feel so. Also, trying to hit needle pin with random debris 🤔..whaat. how didn't the intial needle say it's magnetic ,not disintegrate then before traveling so far ...🤔 Not from objects but many other factors
3:30 I'd like to point out that direct black hole collapse is not GENTLE. In fact it is by definition less gentle than the common supernova black holes we get. In short, supernovae that leave black holes actually create a neutron star first because the collapse is gentle, but the momentum of the collapse tips the neutron star into further collapse. Because the formation of the neutron star releases a buttload of energy, this blows the outer layers off into space, creating a supernova. However if you have direct collapse, the collapse is so forceful that a neutron star is not even formed, it just straight up collapses directly into a black hole. This also releases energy, but the momentum of the collapse in this case is so damn high that it overpowers the released energy and the whole thing collapses instantly into a black hole. It just looks less violent because it doesn't splash everywhere like a supernova does.
The pilots of Omuamua were probably like: “oh sh*t we took a wrong turn and accidentally passed through that solar system with those weird primates, hopefully they didn’t see us.”
Quick! Turn off everything. I hope that THEY do not detect us! Have you heard what they do to each other? We want none of that!

-4C is when Canadians start thinking about putting a jacket on when they head outside.
Yep and think about looking for their earmuffs.
Yep
pretty sure the norwegians have pools in their backyards with salt and vodka added so they can swim laps on the sunny, negative 4 afternoons. it's funny to imagine someone in a bathing suit and earmuffs. hey, was there a perfume commercial with that image?

RIP lil Sebastian, you will be missed 😢
something we talk about in canada a bit (because of the differences from east to west) is a wet cold vs a dry cold. a dry cold is like walking into a hockey rink. np. A wet cold feels like you can't get away from it. I'd imagine it has something to do with heat transfer and the moisture in the air. The temps aren't as low but you feel it easier
“...an exploding star, you would think, would have a pretty mean pitching arm.”
Love these sorts of humor mixed into your episodes. Well done Joe.
Omuamua was just aliens passing the blunt over, it’s our fault for not being advanced enough to capture it from space.
I live in Canada in a place were it's -40C in the winter and +40C in the summer so when I heard Texas hit -4 I kind of just scoffed but now I realise that for such a hot place that must be super super cold.
Edit:Saskatchewan
It was!! And I had 4 or 5 pipes burst because our plumbing works differently up in the ceilings and walls instead of below. It was miserable
You live in Manitoba or Ontario then?
When I was in Belize I was chatting with a local woman about our climate differences. I'm from Chicago. I told her it was 30 back home. She said 30? I don't understand. 30 is dead! 😄
Shit fam you from Alberta?
to put it another way - i live in ohio. ALL of the buildings not made of concrete or some shit have an angled roof - in oklahoma where i lived for a bit, most roofs are flat.
because, up here, 6+ feet of snow might fall, and the angled roofs will let that snow not collect as dense.
texas got hit with a level of snow not even their buildings were built with the capacity to be able to handle.
Watched a video from you for the first time a couple days ago, and I've just been binge watching your entire channel.. Really interesting and funny, keep up the good work!
- Science nerd out
The fun part about Omuamua is that this object estimated to be between 100m and 1km long sped through our system at about 85km/s and we only spotted it *on its way out*
Would've have sucked if it was on a collision course with us, blinded by the Sun we basically would've learn about it on impact.
100% Omuamua was an alien, I felt it

Hey, I worked on ANITA! I built the temperature sensors used to monitor the temperature of the preamp on the individual antenna horns.
But, my (admittantly scant) knowledge of Neutrino Physics is that high energy neutrinos do pass through the earth and then (occasionally) interact with the Antarctic glacial ice. Those are the types of neutrinos that IceCube (installed near the South Pole) is primarily looking for.
3:39 we’ve never see that happened because we’ve been looking for a few decades over a timespan that is impossibly vast.

The oxymoronic nature of ‘unsolved mysteries’ on a channel that promises answers...
It's an answer to the question "What are the 5 unsolved space mysteries of today according to Joe Scott?" so, anything goes really.
He’s aware of this - in fact he’s said multiple times now that it should probably be called “Questions with Joe”
@@dundermifflinity I think the way it is it's more in line with our initially always naive approach to science and knowledge and the way reality usually evates that:
'You came here for answers? Here they are. What, the answers just gave you more questions? That's the universe for ya, kiddo.'
An oxymoron would be 'solved enduring mysteries'. 'Unsolved mysteries' is a pleonasm.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 - and the reason Joe calls reviewing the comments ‘embracing the pain’ becomes abundantly clear.
The whole universe is a mystery. Dark energy and dark matter top the list in my book.

25° being called cold is hilarious to a wisconsinite.

My best answer:
Ball bearings. It’s all ball bearings now. Come on guys it’s so simple.
Actually, if you can figure out what is the optimal size and number of ball bearings to spread a load over the largest surface area (caused by stress deformation of the bearing with the contact surface) for a given space allowed for the bearings to fit under a given load. You can probably figure out anything...
Did I miss something? I am currently experiencing dreadful ball bearing fomo..

Lil'Sebastian is disappointed.
I was never really into astronomy etc, but since watching your channel I've been hooked on learning more.
You make learning things interesting.
When I was in high school around the time of the wooly mammoth, quasars were a complete mystery (unless you count the TV).
In my day the hearth was our TV. And we walk to school five miles away. Uphill to and from through three-foot snowdrifts. And we liked it
@@zed1stwizard Ha! Luxury! 😆
@@zed1stwizard When I were a nipper we used to 'ave to get up half an hour before we went to bed, we'd get an 'andful of cold gravel for us breakfast (if we were lucky!), then we'd have to walk twenty miles to 'pit were we'd work twenty seven hours a day for threpence, then when we'd get 'ome our old man'd literally beat us to death 'nd send us to bed wi'out any supper!

@@AnthonyIlstonJones
Gravel? Baaa. Then you had it easy. We went to bed without anything to nash our teeth on most nights. But our pappy wouldn't beat us unless we let one of the youngins get eaten by bears. That only happened the one time I can tell ya. Then we would get bear meat once in a while. So we had it good on that score. Us boys all shared a bed and taken turns to stook the hearth every hour overnight. Youngins these days are soft and live like royalty. With their inside plumbing electric lights whole-house heating and less the six to a bed.
@@zed1stwizard You had a bed?!? Luxury! We had to sleep in a lake! That's only when the motorway was full mind.....😆
Before I even watch this video, I'd like to point out that Omuamua is not a mystery. It is clearly the probe from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. That is all. Let the learning with Joe begin -I-

What Joe has learned: working in cold weather will keep you warm.
Sorry Joe, I had to poke a little fun at it.
Exactly, he didn't get used to it, he warmed himself up by shoveling snow.

18:05 Sneaky "IceCube" photo😂😂
That stars native species built a Dyson Sphere didn't they? and in such a short time... Well done them, pat on the back
No. They spent eons building the Dyson Sphere. We only lost sight when they put the last panel in place!
Maybe 75Ma ago they had only half built their Dyson swarm and the built part just swung around to the side that we would be on 75Ma later.
Maybe it was a significant period of time, and we only saw the last panel put in place.
They were probably busy making it since before we started recording.
@@Bob_Lob_Law Would be a hell of a job building a Dyson sphere around a star that big, not necessarily a good choice. And to the OP they're unlikely to be natives evolving to that level around such a young star, or do you think we're late developers?

Every county in Texas was at or below freezing except for one near gavlveston. It was crazy cold, especially without electricity.
Why is Omuamua's movement considered so mysterious? Given the trajectory for it that was on screen, it seems to me like it just got caught in our sun's gravity and got a speed boost from that.
So you think that in roughly 10 seconds, you, some random person, can solve the mystery that’s eluded actual experts in this field… I would assume that if the answer was that simple, it probably wouldn’t be a mystery anymore…… particularly to the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this sort of thing…

That's why I read the comments.
This was a great video, I love the chapter format, and you managed to keep it all tied together despite being relative disparate subjects
nitpicking: LHC proton-proton collisions measure 14TeV. each individual beam has 7TeV, but in this system we have two beam traveling in opposite directions.
When I first saw Omuamua, what came to mind was 'Rendezvous With Rama'. Nothing else could compare to that! So, two more will be coming by!
It's amazing how adaptable people are. Here, 25℉ means that I can take the trash out to the street in a t-shirt and shorts (barefoot if it's dry) if I hurry and there's no wind. A typical summer day in Texas would just about kill me though.
yeah, it really is just what you're used to.
60 degrees before summer hits feels kinda warm. 60 degrees after summer feels really cool.
Normal people: I'm cold
Joe: THE UNIVERSE
0:27 it's not that "get used to the cold", your body temp just went up because you were shoveling snow which also increases circulation.
"I thought you said crossing the streams was BAD?!" Yep, they crossed them and now that star is gone. Coincidence? I think not!
Yes, bad!
Tell 'em about the twinkie.
And cherenkov radiation is the visual equivalent of the phenomena. The key phrase is: "Faster than light _in the medium"._ - Which is a better way to say what you said about light in a vacuum.

Joe, normal, main sequence stars (such as ours) are constantly undergoing fusion. That's what keeps stars like that shining. That's how they work. Stars don't suddenly undergo fusion for the first time, when they explode as a supernova.
I believe the star was only recently noticed, given that our powers of obsevation are increasing constantly. That was my understanding of the situation anyway.
@@AnthonyIlstonJones I don't understand what you are saying, or why you are saying it.
@@Trev0r98 You were explaining that main sequence stars don't blow up into a supernova as soon as they start burning, I merely pointed out that because we only just discovered a star doesn't mean it only just came into existence (obviously not taking into account the time difference due to distance). I didn't think it was that complicated.....
@@AnthonyIlstonJones That's not even remotely what I said. Jeez, dude, you seem to have a serious reading comprehension issue.
@@Trev0r98 My mistake, I assumed what you wrote was what you meant. How autistic of me to think you'd make sense.....I'm from Yorkshire, I say what I mean. If you meant something else you should have said that something else. I took your words at face value, duh!

i couldnt do a youtube channel like this. i would end up spending literally several days just reading about neutrinos or however you spell it.
Solution for Omuamua has been published. When you project that it is made up of nitrogen ice, it resolves all the issues about its albedo, shape and slightly higher acceleration that other typical (to our solar system) icy comets. Pluto has surfaces of nitrogen ice, so you clearly can form comets of same makeup.
Think I read something about that it was saying it sped up because the ice being melted by the sun acted like a jet engine pushing the comet thru space
The more that I learn about the hazards out there, the more I appreciate my Covid lockdown.
I just discovered your channel on Nebula and I am BINGING. I really enjoy the material and your presentation of complex and mysterious stories. One note I have is your use of the word “theory”. Many of the theories to which you refer are actually hypotheses, not theories. I’m probably late in making this observation, but wanted to put it out there. Again, really enjoying the channel and your stuff on Nebula is even better. Keep it up and thank you!
So that’s where he got the idea of TENET from lol
Basically, most of our universe is a mystery due to Dark Matter & Dark Energy
we might as well just say it's all a mystery. We truly know nothing.
@@coltonbates629 That might be a big reason why people tend to go back to superstition and unreasonable beliefs, just because science can't yet answer the deepest of all questions. It confuses me quite often, we are so advanced and know so much about nature, but can't answer the really big questions ...
'sup boys a few Dignitas were rude LoL
My favorite universe mystery is the Boötes void and other voids.
“15 years in advertising and sometimes I just can’t turn it off” - was perfectly executed and made me chuckle hard.
In my opinion, Oumuamua flew through the solar system way too efficiently to be anything but an alien craft. It was probably a cargo ship that used the Sun as a slingshot to go faster.
Or it was a probe that was on its regular visit to the solar system, in order to find out if anything interesting has happened here since last time a probe passed through.
That's my hypothesis.
From what I've read, Oumuamua may have been a disk of frozen nitrogen looking like a cigar from the side, and would actually behave like a comet with an outward acceleration when leaving the system. N2 gas being invisible, its tail would be too. Which at least seems much more plausible than aliens 🙄
Aliens sell books
Wouldn't that have disintegrated given the idea of how long ago it was formed. How did it survive n travel for so long in a roadway filled with everything to disintegrate it
@@randomlyswatching9481 they believe that's what gave it the cigar shape, objects crashing into it. Try to think of it like trying to hit a needle pin with random debris. With the scale of the galaxy that makes it effectively the size of a needle in comparison
@@bigprojects2560 who's they. Clearly all of the one's who published papers didn't feel so. Also, trying to hit needle pin with random debris 🤔..whaat. how didn't the intial needle say it's magnetic ,not disintegrate then before traveling so far ...🤔 Not from objects but many other factors
3:30 I'd like to point out that direct black hole collapse is not GENTLE. In fact it is by definition less gentle than the common supernova black holes we get. In short, supernovae that leave black holes actually create a neutron star first because the collapse is gentle, but the momentum of the collapse tips the neutron star into further collapse. Because the formation of the neutron star releases a buttload of energy, this blows the outer layers off into space, creating a supernova.
However if you have direct collapse, the collapse is so forceful that a neutron star is not even formed, it just straight up collapses directly into a black hole. This also releases energy, but the momentum of the collapse in this case is so damn high that it overpowers the released energy and the whole thing collapses instantly into a black hole. It just looks less violent because it doesn't splash everywhere like a supernova does.
