  • I heart space but sometimes it can be hard to comprehend. I try to fix that in this video with junk you can find lying around your house. Also, if you’ve wondered how there could be a ninth planet that we’ve never noticed till now I try to clear that up too by demonstrating just how impossibly far away it is.
    Make your own scale model of the Solar System using this spreadsheet I made. If you put in the size of the object you’re using for a Sun it will scale everything else for you: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8...

    I'm more amazed by how powerful the Sun's gravity at that scale

    • @banba317
      @banba317 6 месяцев назад +24

      Actually, gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, but it does have tremendous range. At the distances of galaxy groups it is effectively infinite; at longer ranges it drops off to near zero. It is not really a force either; it is a warping of space-time. Objects with mass "bend" space-time so that other objects with mass roll toward them. The amount of 'bend' is reciprocal to the amount of mass. The sun contains 99.86 % of all the mass in our solar system. That's why objects so far away are held in the sun's orbit.

      Americans know intimately how big an American football field is. Those fields are the center piece of nearly every school district where space is available. You can pass two or three on a ten minute drive where I live. It makes a great frame of reference for Americans. Miles and kilometers are much less easily envisioned for an average person than American football fields are to Americans. It's also a convenient place with measurements visible from a drone. And, it's easy to gain access. Too convenient to pass up : )
      Maybe you can convince Colin Furze to do it with metric measurements for you?

I've dreamt of being an astronaut since I was 5, I told my parents that's what I wanted to be and they did the obligatory encouraging laugh and pat on the head, then left it alone. When I kept saying it all through elementary school and into middle school my Mom joked that I had to take her with me because if something happened and I died up there she was gonna have to die with me. I let go of my dream for a while, realizing how smart and fit you had to be to even be considered, but it's hit me these past few years that I let myself quit out of fear of failing, but I'd already failed because I quit. No more excuses, I'm going for it. I'm sorry, I know this is pretty heavy for a youtube video, I just wanted to say thanks for posting such a spectacular rendering of the mysteries that are still out there and putting the world into a much more humble perspective!

      +Odr Loddfafnir Your troll game is weak my friend XD Here's what you need to understand about trolling, to make it work, you have to have a point. Unfortunately you do not. Oh you certainly made it LOOK like you had all the answers with your sporadic use of upper high school vocabulary and referencing taxes should make anybody cringe away in submission, but at the end of the day, I'm afraid your skill could only work on someone without even a modicum of generalized education. To put it bluntly, you're at the preschooler level. Now, I suggest you crawl out of your zombie-proof hobbit hole, take some Xanax cause even if there ARE cyborgs from Russia watching you there's nothing you can do about it, and stop being such a debbie downer!

    Those distances are crazy.. And the Solar system is absolutely tiny compared to a galaxy, which is absolutely tiny compared to the universe. It's actually astounding that humans are able to see so much from something as relatively tiny as James Webb. Photons are truly numerous. Also, it's truly amazing that we can transmit data beyond Pluto.

      Pluto's smaller than the moon
      Wanna call the moon a planet as well?
      The asteroid between mars and jupiter is filled with asteroids around the size of pluto
      Which is why pluto isnt a planet
      Imagine having to memorise thousands of names of "planets" in the solar system
      Hence pluto is classified as a dwarf planet
