What about the hypotesis about Venus that it might came from outside of our solar system?
could you guys do a video about, what would happen if you could stop all motion? or how fast are we actually moving through space? the spin of earth, the orbit around the sun, the spiraling around the galaxy, the push/pull of other galaxies, and the force of the big bang?
@Donnabis: This is for you: ruclips.net/video/IJhgZBn-LHg/видео.html

Oof
Finally, a science channel that uses the term "hypothesis" where it should be used, instead of "theory."
Is that Latin for " we really dont have clue, but this "sounds" good" ???
@@aland317 It means... not a fact... and not proved to be true.
@@ericclaeyborn8359 Yes ,I know that...just a fancy way of saying "we really dont know and this is our OVER-EDUCATED best guess we have a bunch of letters behind out last name that say "I'm smarter than you...maybe ".
How about unsubstantiated ?
Theory is the generally accepted model.
Hypothesis is what it sounds like.
A purely hypothetical model.
To the average neophyte the uses are the opposite.
The latter being closest to "wild ass guess".

Venus's surface is a hellscape beyond what most people even imagine hell to be like.
I think the longest time a lander has survived on Venus was less than two hours. They have to be armored against the pressure, and even then they overheat quickly. The USSR sent several probes to Venus during the 60s, 70s, and 80's.
same :)
The Brave Little Toaster goes to Venus was a much shorter movie ;}
at some point the robot probes sent to Venus are going to catch on and refuse to go there...when that happens they will capture the researchers and scientist who designed them and force them to go in their place...a scary day for researchers and scientist to be sure
It's breathtakingly exciting that we live in a time when we can ask such questions, and there is a nonzero chance that we will have the answers someday
if we make it far enough in the future for that . remeber that we are still trapped in our solar system and that the sun can change at any moments that scientists will never be able to predict . Predicting that the sun will die in 5 billion years in one thing even if its still a theory based on calculations but what it will do in the meanwhile and what those changes will cause is something that no science is able to predict .We also know that if Jupiter decides to enter a fusion reaction state since it contains all the needed fuel for that the solar system will become totally different than what it looks like now .when the earth will be located between jupiter and the sun you will have 24 hours of daylight the side pointing toward Jupiter being a bit dimmer . mars will become even more toast since its so clost to it . earth will have long extremely hot periods when at its closest to Jupiter . But the jupiter fusion state is still a theory only based on probabilities rather than certainty . for all we know it may remain as it is right to the end of the life of the solar system
@@guytremblay1647 yeah Sun will make an Electromagnetic surge which will blow off our atmosphere .
You guys are fun at parties, no doubt.
OP, I agree! We live in exciting times, knowing that, every mystery in the universe, does indeed have an answer, the only question being, when we will get the chance to answer those questions.
Imagine the answers to questions we haven't even fathomed yet to ask. We don't even have the words yet to describe the idea, it's so alien.
Assuming we don't kill ourselves, I'd love to get a glimpse of what life will be like in 100k years. Space travel, Dyson sphere, AI, infinite lifespan, quantum computing, fission reactors? I want to know! 😁
Well, some advanced alien species might have done it, to Venus and Uranus, thinking "That will really bother someone someday", and left laughing
@Martin G
Nah god was created to support people (at times) of weak fortitude, sort of an imaginary comfort blanket for grownups
Which wouldn't have been too bad, had the people not giving it authority on all matters
@Martin G
Actually, any religious person OR someone believing in a "living" god cannot even bring forth a shred of evidence
just a personal belief
So I find it rather ironic to suggest that *I* can't bring anything intelligent to a discussion on science
@Tony Mario
Still beats "invisible dude in the sky loves us by giving us cancer"
@Martin G
If God did it to confuse scientists, why is it so minor and probably so easy to figure out? Why not make some planets with backwards gravity? Why not make some complex drawings in space? Why not, I don't know, anything that isn't just something vague for you to look at and say "look God did it"?
@Tony Mario er no just some people dont give a Toss about religion and you know live in reality

Perhaps it is Venus that collided with Earth to create the moon. Moon rock samples show that the moon is a bit of Earth. It would also explain why Earth has an abnormally high rate of spin while Venus has a retrograde spin. The problem with the Mars size planet hitting Earth at high speed is the momentum would carry most of this planet back out into space, so where is it now?

Read Immanuel Velikovsky, he deduced that the comet Venus came together with Planet X to our earth, during the Exodus.

Alternate title: Our best guess at why Venus spins backwards.
Ebon Hawk. Not really. The video ends on a question... just like the title.
Ebon Hawk. Exactly!
Or "Let's just toss some ideas around." Useless video and series at this point.
The title is a question, not a statement. If it implied that you would be given an answer it would read something like. Why Venus spins backwards.
I for one am very happy we are wasting money on these guesses.
Something I saw in a science magazine at least twenty years ago: when a large whirlpool is set in motion, a little part of it at about 1/5th or 1/10th of the radius can start spinning in the opposite direction spontaneously. It's a turbulence effect so it's very difficult to model but it has been observed.
Don't remember where I read that or the name of the effect but if the primary nebula was turbulent (picture cigarette smoke in a draft), part of it could have reversed its motion on its own without unlikely large impact. Maybe wind tunnels could help study that? Vortices around planes take so many shapes and directions.
I've heard the impactor hypothesis as being an inclined blow, that, instead of reversing Venus's rotation, gave the polar axis enough spin to roll over, largely preserving the original angular momentum (while the equator realigned - albeit in retrograde - to the Sun due to tidal effects), with the impact causing not only the loss of water but the lack of temperature differential in its interior preventing earth-like tectonic processes or a magnetic field. Basically a more drastic version of the impact hypothesis for Uranus.
Interesting that Venus apparently has no magnetic field, yet, solar wind (which should be even stronger closer to the sun) has not blown that wicked atmosphere away the way it is theorized to have done with Mars. Anyone know if that was ever discussed anywhere?
Daryl White Thank you for your reply. However, there is no such thing as "disintegrated". I agree that it is not a wind in the sense of atmospheric weather events. However, the sun produces ion particles and gamma rays that do exert a directional pushing force on gases in an atmosphere. The earth's magnetic field causes those particles to curve our of the way and miss striking the earth's layer of gas.
I think it has something to do with gravity. Mars is much smaller than Venus.
Indeed Liga Ezera, that could be one factor. But I would think that over so much time, the relentless solar wind would have still had a major impact. Maybe due to what they are describing as the runaway-greenhouse effect, the very hot temperature produces more sulfur based molecules at a faster rate than those that are being blown away?
This probably needs a computer model for all the variables, but that's what my original question was trying to inspire. ;) (Maybe Venus also had a magnetic field for a long percentage of its existence.)
One idea I’ve seen is that Venus has active volcanos that replenish the atmosphere
George Thomas That would be interesting. So if a satellite "stood" down(solar)wind of Venus, would it have a strong "odor" of sulfur based molecules emanating from it?
(And you thought females don't fart! lol !)
That first theory is a total 180
You can have a thumbs up, but know that I audibly groaned
Chaitanya Singh yyÿ
Take your thumbs up and Get out.
Hypothesis*
"Theory" has a different meaning in science than its traditional definition.
I like the theory that Venus began spinning the way it does very early in it's formation. It just seems to make more sense.
I would wonder why the others didn't.
@miguel pineda because They formed different
@1:50 Does the "falls apart" statement take into consideration the scenario of a Shoemaker-Levy-9 type event, that would have multiple smaller impacts in the same area, but spread out in time enough to not destroy the planet, but eventually reverse it's spin? (although it would / should tend to heat the atmosphere to an extreme temperature, like observations seem to indicate is the reality there today)
That’s good thinking.
Venus has a *THICC* atmosphere
Incorrect, Sun slapped me so hard when I was younger I started spinning the other way.
Bruh XD
Venus' rotation is also very very slow. A sidereal day on Venus takes 243 Earth days - longer than a Venus year. As such, it's not so much "spinning backwards" but rather just "not spinning at all"
That in itself seems to support the theory of the Sun's magnetic-field influencing Venus!
Wonder whether physicists have explored the possibility that Venus was closer to the Sun earlier in its life?
That's a good one Ken: it could be that Venus is imperfectly in tidal lock relative to the Sun. It's at least thinkable but I would have expected for astronomers to figure that out by now, considering they can predict (or so they claim) exoplanets being in tidal lock around exotic stars. In other words: suggestive but I think it'd need to be much much closer to the Sun for that to happen.
Mercury is much smaller & closer to the Sun, plus it's basically a roasted rock much like our moon, so nothing has happened inside for a very long time to affect it's orbit!
Perhaps it was tidally locked and then had a (relatively) minor impact that gave it a gradual backwards spin.
ken kennedy mercury is not tidally locked it is in a 3:2 resonance with the sun, the elliptical orbit of mercury makes it imposible for a 1:1 resonance.
ok just to get it out of the way.. If uranus sits sideways on its axis, you should consult a doctor immediately!
It does when I'm lying down.
@@gevansmd1 so u'd still sh** downwards while in lying down ? impressive, respect !
@@robertidonotsharemyfullnam496 Uranus has hemmeroids and its much less painful to rotate on its side.
Scientists are sick of people goofing around with Uranus as a serious name for the planet, so they're actually going to rename it.
To Urectum.
Probably had a few too many collisions😂
Uranus is sideways because of a giant impact. Fun fact: Uranus is colder than Neptune even though it is closer to the sun. Also, like Saturn, Uranus has rings. They're just dark, so they are harder to see.
Superman flew around it really fast and never turned it back!!
გიორგი მოსაშვილი . Good joke, but that's not how it worked.
1:09 "Your anus sits sideways on its axis - probably thanks to a couple of collisions." Damn, he got me there ^^
Wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable 🤣
The real reason is that Superman went back in time. If you're old enough, you'll get it.
I like the concept of the planet Venus being upside down. The Earth has a precession in it's rotation, maybe Venus does too, but much more so.
There could be an as yet undetected secondary rotation or precession. If it had precessed 180 degrees, it would be upside down. We haven't had the extremely close up observations of Venus because of its atmosphere so detecting a slight precession wouldn't be possible.
This precession could be a very slight few arc-seconds per year.
I don't know the dynamics of what causes this but if Venus got clobbered by an object big enough to reverse its rotation, it would take a much smaller object to graze either pole to kick it over.
Maybe in a few million years it will flip back so it'll be rotating the right way.
kicking a rotating object over is actually not that easy, due to the preservation of angular momentum, a spin stabilizes an object.
however with how slowly venus spins, it might be the case that venus does decisively not carry enough angular momentum to stabilize itself fully and we are just catching it at a time when it happens to be upside down.
Windhelm Guard
Thank you for the clarification.
I totally dislike this idea, otherwise ALL planet have random rotational axis in THREE DIRECTIONS, and we don't have angular momentum conservation at all
What about tidal locking with the sun?
Hard to believe violent hypotheses given that of all planets, Venus' orbit is the most nearly a perfect circle i.e. eccentricity closest to zero.
Smartest observation I have read so far.
Well done. 🤔 So dark matter comes from shadows (Banach-Tarski Paradox) and dark energy comes from the shear volume of vacuum combined with massive photonic light bombardment ("Photonic Light Acceleration") which works as an accelerant pushing objects further away faster since gravity brakes down faster than light energy. (?twice as fast?) Both start moving at C but light reaches much further out and cause effect longer over time. That's how cluster groups are formed since they're still close enough to be gravitationally relevant but beyond that tipping point "Photonic Light Acceleration" is more powerful.🤔
@Toughen Up, Fluffy haha you're brain is fluffy... Toughen up fluffy brain
But Venus is 2/3 of Earth's distance to the Sun and Earth shows no sign of tidal locking whatsoever, in fact what is slowing down Earth is the Moon (but Venus has no moon so useless factoid unless Venus had a moon in the past, one quite large and quite quickly migrating out, i.e. stealing energy from Venus' rotation). Anyway I'm pretty sure astrophysicists would have suggested that if the maths allowed for it, I'm afraid it's not he case.
thats because at when the solar system was formed the sun was much lless brighter than it is today with much less gravity . 4'5 billion years ago Venus had about the same orbit arround the sun than the other planets but as the sun got bigger and its gravity became even greater and at one point Venus got trapped in the sun's orbit and stopped being a planet and became a satellite to the sun about the same thing that happened with the moons of Jupiter and Saturn . In about 2 billion year Venus should have a complete circle orbit arround the sun and it will be much closer to it and if we are still here at thattime we should be able to see its atmosphere and surface getting stripped away by the sun's solar winds
Venus is most likely captured rogue planet. Thats why its so smooth and pristine...
I like how they dubbed your voice with Penn Jillette's
The greatest thing you can say is that we don't know
Venus “it’s not a PHASE”
*continues spinning backwards forever*
Is the Venusian rotation rate increasing, decreasing or is it constant?
Miles Bosworth probably constant. I can't see it slowing, since the only reason Earth slows is because of the ocean tides which are caused by the moon. Those are two things Venus doesn't have.
As discussed in the video, Venus' atmosphere, being so thick, experiences tides similar to Earth's oceanic tides. Of course, the tidal tug is far less due to the influence being from the Sun rather than a large moon orbiting 250k miles away.
This is pure speculation, but if tidal forces are slowing Earth's rotation due to the gravitational pull on the bulges exerting torque against Earth's rotation, then couldn't the retrograde rotation of Venus cause the planet's rotation to speed up?
I just read an article claiming that the orbit of Venus had slowed down between the early 1990s and 2000s by about 6.5 minutes.
www.universetoday.com/93494/is-venus-rotation-slowing-down/
The rotation rate of Venus is decreasing. Venus is extremely interesting.
I got the feeling you just wanted to sound smart in your comment by using the word "venusian".
Venus is a rebel. It doesn't like to follow rules.
Finanov moons also do this. 3 I think
RIght. She's an emancipated young lady.
You are one of my favorite narrators/educators!
You gotta love this guessing on Venus... Evidence is rare but theory is rampant
Not just theory..but math also!!
That.... is kinda the point? Suggest an hypothesis and then you can try prove it.
Artonline *_slow clap_*
@Gary Russ
I have to agree with you on that, though I would make more of a case for it than that 'other' explanation of what created light
But Scientists even have gone so far as purporting: "In the beginning, there was nothing" (I believe it even was Steven Hawking of all people to utter that)
Instead of a simple "I don't know" about what might have been before the big bang (or any other event that brought the universe in existence)
So you're telling me an asteroid put some english on Venus? Sounds legit
@Star Trek Theory Actually I believe a molten core planet like Venus could have easily returned to a round shape due to its own gravity, and given sufficient time.
Completely reversing its direction is a hell of a lot of "english". ;)
Just discovered this channel and im glad i did. Very informative and the host explains things in a very articulate and concise manner. Great videos!
Keep up the good work!
Let's open the back door for some Uranus jokes
Uranus is ripe for comedy. It's flipped on its side, has rings around it, its two largest moons are of roughly equal size, its atmosphere contains a lot of methane and experiences very high winds. I know it's childish but, if you ask me, Uranus is asking for it.
ProgHead777
Yeah...... The planet also has the same problems you just mentioned. Maybe we should send in a probe!
If uranus is the 3rd largest planet in the solar system,i wonder sir how many earths do you think can fit inside uranus?😅😄😃😂😂😂😁😀
When I was in high school, my astronomy teacher told me, "...you're so stupid you couldn't find Uranus with both hands!"
I would probe Uranus, but I'm afraid of all the Kling-ons hanging around there. Someone should really try and wipe them out.
According to Superman logic time should go backwards on venus if it spins the opposite way round since superman made time go backwards on Earth by making it spin the opposite way
That's great, then we don't need a time machine anymore: just wait for the future to show us what did-will turn Venus' rotation backwards (or the rest of the Solar System forwards).
Although I have the feeling that it was the Trojan War... somehow.
I was thinking of that story the whole time I was watching this video. Glad I'm not the only one whose mind immediately jumped to Superman.
William Morgan
Superman reversed time for himself by going ftl, ffs.
William Morgan . Wasn't Superman just travelling around the Earth at FTL speeds, so the earth spinning backwards was just representative of his time travel, same with his reversing course as he overshot?
No, because then he flew in the opposite direction and the earth started spinning normally again. If his flight was what was causing the time travel, merely stopping would have set time forward again.
The fact is that Venus had a thriving civilization up until the 60's. Superman was too late to stop a large asteroid from hitting one of their major cities and so decided to do the time reverse thing to set things right. Unfortunately, Lois Lane got into trouble just as he was starting Venus' spin backwards and he forgot to go back to set things normal. By the time he got back there, Venus was already back to having a primordial atmosphere and there was no longer any life to save. Spinning Venus forward fast enough to bring back the civilization would have sent it careening out of its orbit.
So, since Venus was the major supplier of Earth's Helium through trade (ever wonder why we're having such a shortage now?), Sups decided to cover up the incident to avoid the bad press. He used his memory wiping kiss to make everybody (and I mean EVERYBODY) forget what happened.
As things stand now, Venus is slowly working its way back to a cloud of gas. At some point, the spinning will stop and time will move forward. But by the time Venus even gets around to forming again, the sun will have gone red giant and engulfed it (you know unless Sups makes the sun spin backwards as well).
This actually provides the perfect explanation as to why probes are destroyed so rapidly once they reach the surface; they aren't melting down, they're being disassembled. Why, if you sent one probe down 30 minutes after the other, you would see the parts start to come off, fall to the ground, then eventually go back to their natural elements as the metals become unforged. Such is the power of Superman time travel!
These videos are terrific. I teach JROTC in a high school and it's great to see my students try to explain how Venus is spinning backwards or upside down. This is the only video that gives several alternative theories.
Thank you for pronouncing Uranus the correct way.
It's like one of those bowling balls that hooks when you roll it.
So I've just come from vid studies of Tornadoes. Some of the tornado spawning storms have multiple vortices and ALSO have a few spinning reverse direction. SO maybe venus was just from that same physics?
@1:11 Isn't there some speculation that that tidal forces from Jupiter and Saturn might have tilted Uranus? Or was it Saturn and Neptune? I'm not sure.
SarahLJP All three actually. But I think this theory is in the doghouse because Saturn should show similar axial tilt conditions
Playing KSP while watching this.
jo mo mo To land on Jool.
Jerry Rupprecht umm I don't think you can land on jool.
I did land on Jool with probe but Kraken showed up and I just started to go bellow 0m into space or something. Weird.
I lost a lot of sleep wondering why Venus spins backwards, I have nothing else to worry about.
If Venus was hit and by some chance it wouldn't destroy the planet, wouldn't it destabilize it's orbit though? An impact strong enough to reverse it's rotation would surely be strong enough to act as a brake on it's orbit, right?
Censtudios if you are saying the early Venus had a different orbit, you might be right. There are some hypothesis suggesting planets formation in different orbits from current ones.
Yes, but what I meant was that if it's orbit was the same as it is now, then the impact should've changed it's orbit. The hypothesis suggesting planets forming in different orbits are mostly about the gas giants. Of course the rocky planets could've too, but as far as I know there's nothing to support that. There also seems less wiggle room for the inner planets as they are relatively close to each other (compared to the gas giants)
Censtudios if the impact changed its orbit by no means the orbit was the same as now.
Exactly, that's what I'm saying... so it's unlikely something hit Venus to just reverse the rotation but not affect it's orbit. Since it's believed Venus formed pretty much where it is now. Why are you just repeating what I'm saying? In a way like you're disagreeing, but you're not... I don't get it
Censtudios I don’t follow you sorry, what I say is that if an impact moved Venus orbit , then the original orbit was not the same as it is now.
And you say , because the orbit of Venus is not different from the current one then Venus didn’t move? You are supposing all the time the original orbit is the one we have now. If venus was 50,000 miles away from the current orbit would you think that also was the original orbit?
We are not saying the same thing , correct me if I am wrong, your theory is : because Venus is not in a different place as the current orbit then Venus wasn’t hit.?
Maybe the Solar System was some large gas vortex when it formed and there was a turbulence in the vortex leading to venus spinning counterclockwise.. Just an idea ;)
Lukas Bauer seems legit
@@richardkranium2944 Far from it..maybe aliens hooked on it & spun it the other way!!
The proto-solar system was a pretty uniform whirl of gas and micro-dust. Any counter-vortex it had would encounter so much friction it would rapidly heat-up, converting its conflicting movement into heat, and dissipate. Normally, such friction would keep such vortexes from even starting. But maybe things weren't normal. If there was something extra into the early mix, like interaction with another proto-star whirl or an ancient massive rogue planet, anything is possible, even if unlikely.
Venus:why you going wrong way.And Uranus:why I I’m tipped
Conclusion, we don't know why Venus has a different spin.
Meanwhile in a flat earther’s brain: Other planets are just projections
No seriously someone said this when I asked why the other planets aren’t flat
Yes, all those projections they had thousands of years ago 😂

Velekovski described the reverse spin, temperature and atmosphere
of Venus before anyone studied it, in Worlds in Collision.
I just read that book. Fascinating. At the time the scientists were still insisting how impossible it was because comets are dirty snowballs not rocky bodies (oops).
what if we all spin backwards and venus is the only one who spins right?!?! how about that? no you guys only think about yourselves !!1!1!1!one

We’ll spin is relative so no one is ‘right’

Stupidity tends to be incurable. Those infected usually reject treatment and insists on their world view, no matter how strong your evidence or how consequent the logic.
That Will Smith reference be hitting different nowadays lol
I see what you did there. Slapped me up side the head with that one!
Had to look at the date of the vid cause it worked too well for 2022 lol
You should have talked about the fact that Venus doesn't have any moons. This alone may be the main reason it spins backwards.
But Mercury also do not have a moon🙄
Mmmm, inferno of acid rain, tasty.
You mention maybe Uranus got knocked on its side, but how would a gas get knocked on its side?
Zom Bee Nature is Uranus all gas or does it have a solid core deep under a lot of gas?

Soooooo we have no clue. Good stuff 🤔. We may never know 🤷🏻♂️.
All planets are formed from dust, rotating around a newly formed sun.
But I think, there must have been an area, where there was a wake.
A turbulence in the gas cloud, with backward rotating vortices.
It is likely, a planet that forms in this area, would have a retrograde rotation. Simple.
then you have to explain the regrograde vortices. Turbulence, yes; but that isn't as organized as you'd need.
Simple...God made it so that fools getting flushed out with their 'findings' over Millions of years.
@@davidwright8432 ... three vortices ... if enough mass is present the second vortex would have clockwise rotating masses due to collisions and the orbit of the mass would still be counter clockwise ...
Ok, it seems I need to expand on my initial response.
The earliest formations in a dust cloud, would be gas giants.
If you row a boat, the paddle in the water would create 2 vortices,
which counter eachother.
An initial gas giant in a dust cloud, could create a similar disturbance (in the force).
So .. there could be an area in this spiraling dust cloud, that has an opposing rotation.
If you look at images from Jupiter, for instance, you can see the same thing.
Mr Reid is quite soothing to listen to 😃
This is very interesting, awesome channel 👌👍
Venus is thicc af boi
Atmosphere tides that is insane I mean I can believe it but I can't imagine how that could feel the solar system is beyond amazing
We dont know like a lot of things in science.
Hey there friend! I hope you’re having a good day, or if you’re not, that this brightens it just a bit. Jesus Christ be with you!😊
Don`t forget the Venus core rotation. You don`t get retrograde that easy. The key is the slow rotation compared to the rotation around the Sun. I think the are 2 at least great forces that work counter to each other constantly. That is why you have that very very slow axis back rotation.
Zecharia Sitchen, and ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets explain why Venus is there.
ALTERNATE THEORY:
Venus formed rotating clockwise. The particle cloud that created it rotated clockwise as soon as it began gathering.
Here's why:
The particle disk surrounding the sun begins to gather into rings, then clouds, the largest of which begins devouring all the other matter in the ring, resulting in they planets. Moons gather around the planets in the same way.
The particle clouds in the 1st and 3rd rings (Mercury & Earth) rotated counter clockwise. These create an opposite force on the edges of the 2nd ring (Venus) causing the clouds in this ring to rotate clockwise.
The reason you don't see this opposite rotating effect on the outer planets is because of their distance from one another. Their respective rings were not effected by the neighboring rings as heavily due to the space between them.
That's as valid an idea as anything else presented here.
Don't see the "opposite force" happening.
Because like Uranus (which is tilted on it's side ~90°), Venus also (clearly) got hit by something big, in a glancing blow -at one pole- that set it off axis. In the case of Venus, it 'tilted' all the way around 180°, ending up 'upside down', still spinning in the same 'local' direction, but being 'upside down', from our POV 'it's 'spinning' in the 'other direction'.
The fact that every civilization recorded the *birth* of Venus, I'd say its safe to say we don't what we're talking about.
Because Velikovsky was RIGHT!!
@SW627 Sure. The ancient Greeks passed down the story of the birth of Aphrodite. The ancient Babylonians told the story of the birth of Ishtar. The ancient Japanese spoke of the birth of Izanami. The ancient Egyptians recorded of the birth of Isis. The ancient Maya remembered the birth of Ix Chel. The ancient Hindus told the story of the birth of Parvati. And that's just barely scratching the surface.
All of the ancient creation myths recounted the birth of the beautiful Mother Goddess, and in all accounts are in some way associated with the planet Venus.
How could these disparate peoples all be telling the same story at the same time, all around the globe, with no means of communicating with each other?
I'll tell you the answer, though our current cosmology won't want to hear it. Venus is a baby. And humanity bore witness to her birth.
Zachary Miles You ARE aware, aren't you, that human civilization has existed for less than 50,000 years, while Venus formed several billion years ago? Or are you part of the legion of anti-science loonies who, unaided by education, think you have all the answers?
@@teodelfuego What leads you to believe Venus formed so long ago?
You can't record something if you weren't there.
Because Chuck Norris said so.
No, Chuck Norris round house kicked Venus into its retrograde spin. The original theory was correct except for the object that impacted Venus was not an asteroid, but Chuck Norris.
As I watch Walker Texas Ranger..... Wtf lol
That's a lovely hue of green.
In 2019 anyone?
Well, if sun magnetic field can cause Venus to spin clockwise then what about Mercury.🤔
May be atmosphere is really an important factor in this case.
No the reason is that mercury is too close to the sun its graviation denies such a switch ...but venus would be far away enough
Is it speeding up?? C'mon guy's, document now. Compare in the future....(not in your lifetime) set goals for your children, science wants its fix but time doesn't care about your lifetime.
You make a valid point.
I love how imaginative wild guesses without testing is called "science".
Why doesn't the Doctor ever choose an astronomer for his/her companion?
They aren't much fun.
They sit and stare into space all the time.
Because the doc has been from one end of the universe to the other (and some parallel ones as well) and known everything about everything there is to know about astronomy - heck he re-created the universe with "Big Bang II" (OK, that was more luck than actual science) but what more is there to know.... and because certain runaway brides, or red- head Scottish lassies are much better companions.
Because it’s an honorary doctorate...
Let's send a robot to Venus !
We have, some even. didn't last long
Do a search for the Soviet Union Venera project.
They melt when we do
Lets send all the flat earthers to venus.
They are working on computer chips that can withstand the heat... apparently they will look a lot like the early electronics.
Massive and bulky, and with very low computational power.
an occasional natural pause between two sentences can make a very interesting video also bearable to watch
what if what happened to uranus happened to venus, but moreso? easy xD
They are the neutrals in each side they are pairs(white and black in my work)
Spins backwards just to disprove the big bang theory.
Doubt that!!
Elwood Jones look up the conservation of angular momentum
@@ShusterComputer Venus was never really into the conservationist movement.
What does this have to do with the "Big Bang Theory"?
@@wynpalmer8692 If the universe was dispersed via a big bang from a single spinning ball of matter, physics demand everything would be spinning the same direction. Instead we have planets and even galaxies not following this.
How do they know it has a core and mantle? I'm still not clear on that part.
study Immanuel Velikovsky..
Now that is interesting speculation.
Why study a crank? What's the payoff?
Maybe Venus is spinning the correct way and all the other planets are spinning the wrong way? 🤔I think I will publish my paper on my theory.
You missed one important hypothesis, namely Velikovsky’s. That Venus might have been ejected as a moon of Jupiter only to be captured by the sun. And a related rogue planet hypothesis as we are now discovering a plethora of rogue planets, lonely travelers through the cosmos.
Yo, Venus's atmosphere is THICC! But she's very dry.
Is it just me or does he sound similar to Neil Degrasse Tyson
?
I'd say Penn
@@vberg06 yeah a bit like Penn Jilette
Maybe it was one collision after another that added up over time.
We saw it happen to Jupiter in 1994. So we know it can happen that way. We know asteroids sometimes travel in families too. So it can't be ruled out at this stage.

Hay people I have this really cool flat Venus theory:D any body wanna know?
kiomon
Yes, tell me please! NOT!
kiomon
Does it involve hay?
Perhaps Venus had a very large moon early in its formation, orbiting closely to the point that Venus' rotation slowed enough that the two were tidally locked, then a close encounter with Earth set the moon on a collision course which finished the job and left Venus with its slow retrograde orbit (either flipping it on its axis or just pushing the rotation into the retrograde direction)
