    I remember when i spotted my first qusar with my telescope. The quasar’s name is 3C 351 and it is about 4.6 billion light years away. It took me about 45 minutes of looking through my scope and then reviewing my charts to make sure i am actually looking at a quasar. In my scope it looked like just another dim star, but it blew me away to think that i was looking at a mind bogglingly massive, bright, and powerful quasar that is 10% across the entire observable universe. It was incredible.

      @@realityvanguard2052 that's why SEA deserves props. There's a lot of popular science channels that only describe what we know something to be after we've already "figured it out", not explain the process that brought us to that understanding. The history of the research and how our ideas change along the way is just as interesting!

      @@leminjapan We live in a golden age of informative videos, my friend.
      Once upon a time, used to just rely on PBS docs for basic info, NOVA science now every Monday night, and just hope it takes you on a journey to the stars...
      Then when most of the space documentaries became available online in the early 2010's I'd be watching them like every day, only to have to listen to the same basic concepts re-explained over-and-over again in the hopes that maybe I'd learn something new.
      .. Do you know how many times I've had to hear about how many Earth's can fit inside Jupiter? OR that the sun holds 99% of the solar system's mass? haha or the basics of relativity and space time? Seeing that 2D representation of how gravity works using a trampoline or something xD IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD REPRESENTATION! Not really... haha but I digress.
      Point is this had better be a step above those dark times xP or I would be back on Wikipedia.. He does a decent job reading it for me

You're young, you're in your prime years to become what ever you want, nobody can stop you only yourself. If you truly want a career based around science/space then please absolutely go for it! It's young people like you who grow up (not saying you're not already grown up, to me at 17 you're and adult and deserve to be treated as one) but grow up to become the pioneers of the next generation of science. This may sound far fetched and a little bit whacky but what if you do (and you should) persue your passion and you end up discovering/creating/inventing something that's life changing for people or even humanity!?
      Don't ever give up on your passion, find a job that is your passion and you'll never work a day in your life. Believe me, I grew up as labourer during my early teens, I then became a roofer on great money but hated it, now I'm a Strength coach and work in gyms and I've not worked a day since I became a coach because in my eyes, getting paid for my passion isn't work.

How about his spot on graphics? (I mean, they prompted ME to get SpaceEngine on Steam, but maybe you all don't like excellent graphics?) Or his on point music choices that compliment the graphics and excellent narration?

    This is an excellent video, packed with fascinating information about the history, nature, and distribution of quasars through time, how it has been put together, and some of the controversies and questions that remain.
    I have a question about the very distant quasars: to appear so bright across such a distance, do their jets have to be facing toward Earth? Surely a side or oblique view would be dimmer, especially if there is a deep torus. If they have to be facing to within a few degrees of line-of sight toward Earth, that implies that their number is much larger. If, on the other hand, they are that bright from most angles, then the emitting region is likely large (compared to the black hole, at least a few light weeks) and relatively exposed. What’s the consensus on this issue of the relation of quasar apparent brightness and orientation?

    @cykkm Год назад +2

    Hi Sam, I'm happy to have stumbled upon your channel! I had worked as a physicist for a while before running away from academia, but never studied astronomy or cosmology, but has always been curious. I only took a semester of stellar physics, out of curiosity, but hardly remember a thing except the fact that I had taken it... :) Cosmology had hardly been even a thing when I was a grad 40 years ago, i.e. not something you'd seriously think of dedicating your scientific life to, but now-oh boy, I'm contemplating how much progress we've seen in the last 20 years alone!
    If you don't mind a couple notes:
    03:30 It's probably worth noting that hot fully ionised plasma moving at huge velocities is full of local electrical currents, and the accretion disc should develop extremely complex self-sustaining electromagnetic fluxes in addition to the mechanical viscous fluid flows due to dynamics alone. At least qualitatively, it's certain that another class of rotating objects made of fully ionised gas, a.k.a. stars, do develop magnetic fields. Precisely modeling this stuff is a nearly intractable MHD problem, and the origin of AGN jets is a wide-open question, but it's hard to explain the jets-and especially their radio noisiness-by gas dynamics alone.
    14:30 It's not exactly right to think that the Universe is expanding “in all places”. I wouldn't mind if my house expanded a bit, but then I'm thinking about my belly... It's true indeed that we don't _feel_ the expansion of space, but it could have been said more explicitly that we don't because our local space does not expand. The main thing that makes it so is the GR's background-freedom: it describes both the geometry of spacetime and the fluxes of stress-energy _within_ this spacetime. Whether a region of space is expanding or not is, in the end, defined by its energy contents, distribution and fluxes. Our Galaxy is indeed gravitationally bound, as is the Virgo cluster we're part of. The Virgo Supercluster may not be entirely bound, and this gives an approximate contemporary scale at which the Universe expands-or does not. It's hard to put a number on it, as the large-scale structure of the Universe is rather fibrous, and fluxes form multipoles, both apparently attracting and repulsing, but I don't think I'd be too much off calling an order of mag of 10⁶‒10⁷pc. Some of (not too regularly shaped) “cells” of this size are held from the expansion by gravitation, others are dominated by the repulsive Λ-term that we don't really have a clue about physical meaning of. (Personally, I find the catchy name for the repulsive “dark energy” a bit, uhm, repulsive; “Λ-term” is all we know what it, mathematically, is. Otherwise, _hic sunt dracones…_ 🙂)
