Blasar/Blazar: leave it to scientists to look at a Quasar and say, "You know what? We need a new name for this angle."
"Won't that be confusing?"
"Yes."
That was something I learned doing this video. I didn't know they were the same thing.
@@joescott same here. I had to look it up after the video because my mind couldn't accept they are the same thing. 😂
@S S come on @Joe check this guys message on Instagram, he is a Nigerian prince
The alternative was money-shot-quasars , so yeah, at least they spared us that.
@@joescott it's the same with me. I had to wrap my head around the fact that pulsars and magnetars are essentially all sub-catagories of neutron stars.
I still have my great grandfather's dictionary, which defines "computer" as "a person who does computations" and "calculator" as "a person who does calculations".
That's actually pretty cool. I love the weirdness of old reference books, where the best knowledge of their time is confidently delivered in a way that seems so under a rock now. Someone once gave me a university level astronomy book (perfectly titled, "Astronomy") that, in its chapter concerning the moon, describes how "if humans should one day visit the moon, they would likely find.." and so fourth. It also refers to the possibility of putting telescopes in space to avoid the interferences of Earth's atmosphere. Another interesting one, a friend of mine has a history book printed in the later 20's, and it refers to WWI in a chapter titled "The Great War".
That's awesomely amazing!
I once bought a Slide Rule for $1.69. The year was Anus Domino 1969.
i have no idea what you are talking about most of the time but i just really enjoy your videos
Oh, glad I'm not the only one that doesn't know what I'm talking about.
Sasu Rintala your not the only one
I concur
Amen bruthr
Good man, like 40% of the other commenters on his videos like to pretend they're 200 IQ+ astrophysicists because they thought of something vaguely resembling a viable theory.
This might be my first RUclips comment, couldn't resist - I literally laughed out loud when you stopped and looked up the definition for inflammable. Long time watcher - keep up the GREAT work my man. Good stuff.
You did a great job for a first comment. ;)
The non-word irregardless has the same confusion.
@@Obscurai hate that one
Unincredible.
@@Obscurai *in*regardless ;)
My family owned a Quasar back in the late 60's and early 70's.
We kept it in our living room. We would all gather around it at night and stare at it for hours.
We finally had to get rid of it when it grew too dim to see.
Thank you for informing us of and remembering Henrietta Swan Leavitt. I'd never heard of her prior to watching your video. Her's was a massive contribution to astronomy.
"Inflammable means flammable? What a country!" - Dr. Nick
Flammable is actually the weird one. You typically don't suffix a noun with "able" because ability/inability as a concept refers to an action. The correct verb for "to set on fire" is inflame, not flame. So the ability to set on fire would be inflamable. The word "flamable" probably came into more common usage than the more gramatically correct inflamable simply for clarity so as to avoid the misinterpretation of the "in" as a negating prefix.
i was gonna be reeeaaal upset if I didn't see a Dr. Nick reference.
Hey Dr Nick! :D
@@lukekubat3882 What about the word "enflame"? Allegedly "inflame" is an alternative version - completely pointless, if you ask me, and only creates this confusion. Stick to enflame, flame, enflammable, flammable and then "inflammable" makes sense - to a lay person like me.
@@marshad82 Enflame is the lesser common of the more popular term inflame. No one uses enflame anymore, in fact, spell check will correct it to inflame for you, because it is not used by 99% of the population of English speakers. Use inflame, stay up to date.
Edit: Enflame is the Middle English era of the spelling.
Thank you Joe. Im putting my Golden Retriever of 14 years down today and have been an absolute wreck. Your videos always make me feel better with my mental health problems and all. Your jokes and your way of speaking ALWAYS cheers me up. Even though this day sucks your videos always make it better. So again, THANK YOU!
Mike John Oneill sorry to hear that Mike. Hope all goes as well as it can. 14 years is a great life for a Golden and I’m sure he had the best ever!
Thanks guys, it's inevitable but always so hard to make that decision.
Ah, sorry to hear that! Saying goodbye to a pet sucks.
Paul Dee thanks man I agree. She IS a member of the family. Gracie will always live on in my memories.
I feel your pain. I had to do that about 5 years ago. I don't remember ever crying so hard in my adult life.
Anyone else think “The Age of Quasars” sounds like an epic metal album?
Flammable, inflammable.. non-inflammable.
So confusing.. "Either something flams or it doesn't flam." --Carlin
Infuriating, ain't it.
Flam, boom, tsssss
Carlin was the best.
Incredible
I sometimes confuse sports coats with blazars.
That just Quazy.
Good one
That made me giggle
GOTTA love this guy: he presents good, useful and SOLIDLY RELIABLE information on scientific topics as well as quirky, exceptionally well-delivered humor such as the incendiary joke at the beginning of this edition of his deservedly popular RUclips channel. If you are reading this and haven't subscribed yet, PLEASE do it right away, and spread the word!! This gem of a channel deserves all the attention possible.
The English language is so bizarre...inbizarre?...whatever.
Haha
@David Renton They are different. but people are indifferent to it. ;-)
Some are infamous. Others are infamously inignorant.
Bizarre ... from the Basque for bearded, meaning beautiful?
That's because the English language isn't actually a full language. It's three smaller languages standing on each other's shoulders wearing a trench coat and large hat.
@13.30 minutes: "Riding a beam of energy across... Space Time" would be a perfect end to our favourite channel at PBS
SpaceTime is above my head. Over my limits as a non-scientist. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because of this.
@@squirlmy don't look at Numberphile2. You'll never sleep again!
Joe: "the most famous eyebrows in physics"
Albert Einstein: "Am I joke to you?"
His hair is more famous.
Your ringtone is my alarm tone and when it went off it immediately pissed me off and made my heart drop.. 😂
Joe Scott without a doubt has the most INCREDIBLE introductions! Great job, keep up the insane content!
This was a good one, Joe!
Thanks!
@@joescott yeah was about to comment the same, good jokes, good hero call out, and excellent science communication. thank you for this.
It was a nice show but now make space for the main act
I love it when a channel I love mentions another channel I love! :P
real love??
Quasars & Black Holes are my favorite things in space !
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, Joe does it again.
Cool intro bro.
You seem to have decoded and nailed the optimal YT video structure.
Kudos.
You have a knack for making what would be almost impossible to understand Concepts, easily understandable. Even though as you admit, most of the time, it's just a quick dip into the rabbit hole. But your research, and your delivery, make this an incredibly enjoyable Channel. Not to mention, I learn something new every time I watch your vids.
Nice work. Keep it coming.
"Flammable! Or inflammable! Can't remember which! Doesn't matter!"
Saeful Akbar Doesn’t matter = Inmatter ???
Fellow mass effect fan?
@@kalwinters442 I'm happy that you get the reference :)
I see you appreciate the higher arts as well.
"daaan't worry! It's INflammable!"
Great stuff as always Joe, thank you! A new model suggested that galaxies are actually much much bigger than we thought and the Milky Way and Andromeda already started to collide (at least their halos)!
Maybe you should do a video on how soon we need escape the grasp of our own milky way to avoid the Andromeda collision based on what top speed we can reach during our attempt to escape the pending collision
Why would we escape the Andromeda collision
@@zacharyhandy9606
with intention to survive LoL
How do you think it will harm us
It's uploads like this that make your channel incredible..
Peace & love from Missouri -Todd
I hope my fossils get to ride a beam of energy across the universe.
UglyWeirdo
They already are.
great video! this is my area of research, classificstiioon of host galaxies of high red shift quasars, i also work a lot with their local cousins called seryfert I galaxies
Just imagine what we could do if we built a dyson sphere around a quasar, and harnessed it's power.
Just need to get the entire resources of a few dozen galaxies to build a galaxy sized sphere.
We're still a few millennia from having that capability.
we cant we aren't that type of civilization yet..
at that point in our tech development, we might be beings of pure energy ourselves. It might then seem awfully silly to shuffle around that much matter to do... what? Make another quasar?
Not possible.. haven't they have all burnt out? you are just seeing the ghosts of them.
Amazing video. Thank you Joe.
This is one of the best written episodes I've seen from Joe.
That transition to the SkillShare plug was well done too
I usually never watch videos on outer space, yours or other people's.
I've been watching your videos so long, though, I've begun watching all of them. Even though some of the stuff doesn't interest me.
You make it so entertaining and easy to understand, I'm really excited about space!
Keep up the good work!
:) Can't wait for people to ask how I left a Comment a day before it came out... Its Patreon! Fokes! GIve Joe $1 and he will Let you see stuff Early. ... Oh yea Love the vid Joe, As always.
It's always hilarious when they do ask! 😆😅🤣😂
Yup! Over and over they ask. I now just say that I'm a time traveler. 😉
Just feel superior and go on with your life. ;)
@@joescott Oh sure... make it sound SO easy to be superior! It's very difficult being superior... like I have to decide exactly how high I should snub my nose and all. That takes time and effort.
Joe Scott I have no money you dick why are you doing this to me
I just came here after watching a clip from a BBC programme, Qi, where they talked about monopsony, an orphaned negative, where the opposite of a word is never used, like effable vs ineffable, incessant vs cessant, and more importantly, flammable and inflammable now mean the same thing.
The opposite of that is nonflammable.
That's bothered me for years, thanks for putting a name to it!
Inept and "ept".😁
Thanks for sharing! It’s awesome how you can take a physics/science subject which are something equivalent to, “The Rosetta Stone” and explain in hoi polloi terms that makes it understandable, fun while being educational. Much love and hugs from a fan in Montana. ✨💖✨
I love our universe. So much chaos. So many mysteries.
Probably my favorite exchange from Archer:
Malory: ... and I'm sure I don't need to remind you that we haven't gotten one of these jobs since your Uffizi fiasco.
Archer: And yet, you always do.
Malory: Because you learned nothing from it.
Archer: I learned that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.
After binge watching for so long, I can say that I have never wanted something from anyone as I want videos from you.
Thank you so much for your hard work!
13:09 leaving me unimaginably inspired
13:35 ok, that feeling is gone now
hahaha thank you joe
Women's contribution to our scientific knowledge often gets ignored, so thanks for highlighting Henrietta!
Me: No, I can't come into work today.
Boss: Why....
Me: Let me tell you about relativistic jets...
Thanks Joe :)
Went to my training course today, a dude I work with was like "You watch Joe Scott?". I was like "Huh, yeah. Just a bit." - Adelaide, South Australia.
The most famous eyebrows in science.... Sean Carroll: hold my drink.
Don't know if I was tired but that bit at the beginning was funny. Laughed out loud literally.
My mind was blown at Henrietta, everything after raised my IQ every 5 seconds. 🤯
“It is literally a galaxy sized star” I think that sentence summed up the insanity of these things
9:26 Thought some type new pokemon came out
9:25 BLAZARS! Masters of the universe!!
"He's so famous he's infamous!"
(from the 3 Amigos)
Thank you Joe, you have made me question reality yet again.
Another fantastic skit; I'm so glad you're continuing to do them
Also, Matt has the greatest jawline in Astrophysics. Those eyebrows are awesome, but those lines could cut diamonds
I always recommend you Joe on Facebook. "If you like RUclips, Science and other interesting wonders of the world we share, it is so important that you are aware of Joe Scott. He makes learning fun and you get to show off your smartass self to all your jealous friends. If you think LSD is too dangerous to try, this video will BLOW your mind just as good."
Joe: has your brain melted yet ?
Nerds: melt- what ?
Pritish Patil precisely
Really love starting my day with you man, thanks for sharing your hard work with us
Wow... I've used "incredible" wrong *A LOT* in my life...
I got a lot of making up to do.
And you wondered why older people said the language was debased. Every adjective has gone the same way. Fifteen years ago I remember seeing a report that mentioned "massive parachutes"!
Sigh.
@@AndrewBlucher ...and the report went down like a lead balloon?
I spend way too much time on the definitions of words and this is by far my favorite opening you’ve done.
6:25 you mean "inobtainium"?
In the 80's, I had a chance to meet Maarten Schmidt. He dropped by a biology lab I worked in to visit his daughter who also worked in the lab. Dr. Schmidt was on the faculty at Cal Tech. His daughter recalled that she and her sisters used to play on the floor of the Palomar Observatory beneath the big Hale telescope during some of her dad's observing sessions.
PBS SPACETIME AND CRASH COURSE ASTRONOMY, THESE ARE MY TWO FAVORITE ASTRONOMY RUclips CHANNELS
Just like you Joe, I'm even more twisted now than I was 10 minutes ago. Thanks Bro! Love Ya!
"SIMPSONS DID IT!"
By far my favourite RUclips channel at the moment. Pretty much watched joes videos in a month
“Inflammable means flammable? What a country!” -Dr Nick Riviera
Seriously my favorite RUclipsr. Every video is fun entertaining and informative.
What did Roman astrologers called weird and unidentifiable Celestial objects?
Gaius julius QUASAR
All weekend I've been nonchalant and your "inflammable" joke and phone cam is real funny 😂😂
One time Chuck Norris stepped directly in the path of a quasar jet...
He died.
I heard he had absorbed most of it and then went on to create a new universe where everyone is Chuck or his babe..
How do you know the quasar was a “he”...?
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
@Nigel Henry Ofcourse. Quasi stellar objects do not stand a chance against Chuck.
This was a really informative one, Joe - dense, but still your usual comic levity to keep it from being overwhelming. Nice job!
Quasars huh? Nutty stuff.
Joe, ya missed an opportunity here......" galaxy far,far away"....just thinking out loud....lol
Every time someone says “You’re ingenious!” I think they’re calling the person an idiot.
Genius and Ingenius have the same definition.
I forget who coined the following explanation but I quite like it:
"A quasar is like a toilet-roll seen side on and a blasar is like a toilet-roll seen end on. Having found out they had named the same thing twice astronomers being astronomers decided to keep both names because that isn't confusing at all."
Thanks for another great video.
Great content, I really enjoy how you delve into neat questions for explanations that are fascinating.
.............I was LITERALLY thinking about this very thing yesterday.... like this EXACT thought pattern.... regarding the EXACT word "Incredible" too...... we must be connected Joe.. we must be one....
The fact that a black hole's gravity is so powerful that it creates these massive outbursts of power and matter outwards instead of inwards is so counter intuitive at first glance. It is amazing how our natural understanding of how gravity works is so simplistic.
Loved the bit at the beginning. I remember seeing things years ago on packaging saying something was non inflammable.
Idk if joe will see this but....JOE I LIVE IN DENTON TEXAS, you have made a huge impact in my life and when I saw you lived in the Dallas Fort Worth area my mind melted.
Quasars are just 'active nuclei galaxies' and depending on what plane it spins and what direction we are looking at it, as to what we labelled it in the past.
Found your channel a few months ago underrated how you do not have 1 mil subs idk but it criminal keep putting out great videos guy
Bro you do make such great knowlegeable videos. Keep up the great work. whenever I watch your video my brain gets more curious about things .
"No sleep for you!!" 😂
The information in this video is invaluable.
The Crash Course in Astronomy series on RUclips from PBS is fantastic. Nice shout out there. Great for those who want more depth beyond the usual 'basics' stuff that you usually get on like, TV shows and shit, but is explained super well so as to not be over your head(too much). The host is also amazing.
My fave part was the boss cat at 13:37 and quasars be damned. Yes my brain has melted but Joe is brill.
BLAZARS! 9:28 I nearly sprayed coffee at my screen!
Cosmology fills me with both wonder and existential dread. It's mind-blowing that objects like quasars exist and the thought that they do makes me feel tiny and insignificant.
Actually, I always feel like that, cosmology just exacerbates that feeling lol
I saw a play about Henrietta Leviette. It was awesome and the best subject matter for a play ever.
Time for my favorite time of the day.
Just got home, time for Joe.
Dude.. the nod to Matt from PBS SpaceTime was INCREDIBLE!
My friends: Todd, you're such a science nerd
Joe Scott: Hold my beer!
Wake up to quasar video in my notifications... i love u so much joe u have no idea.
If you have to return something, it requires you to turn it first?
A career will tire you, at the end of your career you retire?
If you plug something in, do you ceptacle into the receptacle?
If a firecracker first detonate, is it tonate?
Etc...
Thanks for doing all the work I did not have time to get to. Its always been a fascinating subject too me.
I have a wonderful very old dictionary that defines “computer” as “one who computes.” It also has helpful illustrations of what an automobile might be (including a Stutz Bearcat,) and no entry at all for “Transistor.”
The “BLAZARS” bot caught me so off guard, and gave me a great laugh. Loved it.
Keep up the great videos Joe and you will become infamous!
Henrietta Swan Leavitt was 100% one of the most amazing human beings ever to have existed. She gave her life to continue with her work. Work which today has opened some of the largest doors possible within the world of astronomy. There is a play which is based on her life and the things that she accomplished during her time with Harvard- Silent Sky. I was lucky enough to have portrayed her in this play. She had such a huge impact on the studies of astronomy and most people have NEVER heard of her and her fellow “computers”. She’s fascinating. It’s a great stage play, and it gives her and the other “computers” their names back as well as at least some of the acknowledgment of the importance of their work.
Great video! As usual...
Just thought I'd throw some ideas at you that I think would be really interesting to see:
1) Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology(CCC)
2) Lee Smolin's Cosmic Natural Selection(CNS) (The implications of that one just blew my mind😂.)
I attended a talk by jocelyn bell bernell, one of the first female scientist to win a nobel price. She discovered quasars as a post grad when working at a radio telescope analysing em waves emitted by stars. Look her up, she should really have been credited in this.
i love you for the work you do thanks
13:51
Many astronomy photos are based off of non-visible spectra, but in this case that photo in particular was actually taken by the hubble space telescope which is only capable of visible light photography. That jet is really visible.
