1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: All right, everybody, it's the mid term. It is the 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: midterms that we're halfway through the season. Yep, we're at 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: episode six. How do y'all feel? I hope y'all have 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: been studying and are ready for this quiz we're about 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: to post. Don't worry, there'll be a curve. Anybody took 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: a class with me, you will know that it's not 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: how it goes. I'm TT and I'm Zachiah and from 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: Spotify Studios. This is Dope Labs. Okay, so did you 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: watch Homecoming? Did I how many times have you watched it? Right? 10 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: I've only watched it one time, but I'm planning on 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: watching it after this because I feel like every morning 12 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: I need to I need to wake up two hours 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: early so I can start Homecoming and really get my 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: mind right for it'll be everyone's daily devotional. That's exactly 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: what it's like. I mean, she's been stre on y'all's next, okay, 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: but she's really saying like, bow down for real, Yeah, 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: you have no choice. She showed us her not only 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: that she is, you know, at the top of her 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: game as far as vocals and entertaining, but also that 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: she has the work ethic of there's not really nothing 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: to compare her to she You have to have the 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: Beyonce work ethic. That's the that's the new gold standard, honestly, 23 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: Like Beyonce said that basically all she was eating was 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: air molecules and eight counts for a year and a half. 25 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't understand. She was like, I rehears four months 26 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: with the band and then four months with the dancers, 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, huh what, I don't do anything 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: with that much advanced notice. I couldn't even get that prepared. 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: If I wanted to write like something's happening in four months, 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, get back to me in three months 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: and twenty five days. Yeah, I'll let you know if 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm up for it. It was just great to see 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: that type of passion, you know, and just somebody that 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: was just working day and night. Right, And why is 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: Beyonce never out of breath? Ever? I don't know if 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: she has a built in what's those things that the respirator. 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if she has a built in respirator. 38 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I'm like, she was 39 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: dropping down, getting up, moving around with the dancers and 40 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, the dancers gotta be tired. They not singing, 41 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: They not singing, and they're heaving okay yeah, and Beyonce 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: is like, y'all all right back there. I'm like, man, 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: I would have had to crush up some a leave 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: and make a paste. I would put the paste on 45 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: my knees and saran rappids. I could not move like 46 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: that for that long. That's crazy, just aching, And I'm like, 47 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: do you know how do you get better than Beyonce? 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: You don't. I think the only person who it's possible 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: is Blue because she's watching Beyonce. She had Beyonce's breast milk. 50 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the only way you can get the 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: levels Beyonce. You gotta have ingested her breast milk. Yeah. 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: But I mean, when you think about it, that's the 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: reason why we called somebody like Beyonce a star. Yeah, 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: that's sheer star power for real. It's so concentrated it 55 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: hurts your eyes to even look at her. It's not 56 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: the sequence. Yeah, the sequence aren't even doing it. It's 57 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Beyonce herself. It's it's our ara and we're just all 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: just happy to be there. She's a star and I'm 59 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: just Stardust, just hanging out. Like so today we're gonna 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about stars and not just superstars here on Earth. 61 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: We want to talk about the stars in our sky, 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: but we actually think that there's a lot of similarities 63 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: between the two, between the stars and the sky and 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: Beyonce absolutely. Okay, so let's get into the recitation. So 65 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: let's start with what we know. We know that Beyonce 66 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: is unlike anybody else on this planet, and we also 67 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: know that stars are very unique. So we know that 68 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: the Sun is a star. Yes, we know the Sun 69 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: is a star. I know a little bit about those planets. 70 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: Men are from Venus, I mean, what does that from Mars? 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Women are from Venus? Okay, yeah, which, but I also 72 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: know that that's actually not true. Yeah, and all here 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: on Earth. And then we also know that, you know, 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: that's saying that we learned in probably like middle school. 75 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas or 76 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: something like that. But something happened to Pluto. Yeah, people 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: not talking about it. Yeah, so that was supposed to 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: let you know, like Murcury, Venus, Earth, Mars, your mother 79 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: didn't serve the rights and I remember that's just good Okay, 80 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: so I got to go back to middle school. Basically, 81 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: the other thing we know is the big Dipper and 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: a little dipper. Right, there are constellations, but that's it. 83 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: That's the extent of my knowledge in the North Star 84 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: wherever it is, nor Yeah, that's right, shout out to 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 1: Harriet Tubman. And So I feel like when I started 86 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: talking about space, there's so little that I know, and 87 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: I feel like it's actually holding me back from really 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: enjoying some of the films, Like some of the movies 89 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: that I like, I'm like, why is it taking them 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: a long time? Is that a short place to go? 91 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Because I always get gallic sees and universe and solar system, 92 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: I get all those things mixed up, right. I hope 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: that after this episode, I'm gonna go back and watch 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: Interstellar and just try to see if I can make 95 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: sense of some things. Probably won't. It was a very 96 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: confusing movie. 97 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 2: You know. 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: One of the things I've always been really really interested 99 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: in is like shine and shine and shine and shineing. Yeah, 100 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: like when you think about the sun, how is the 101 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: sun power? What is the fuel? What is power? And Beyonce, 102 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: we saw a little bit of that in Homecoming yeah, 103 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: we did, but I still was like, girl, what's the 104 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: code so I can do a step left, left left, 105 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: jump down? I'm like, I need the eight count so 106 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: I can unlock a better meat. So that's a question 107 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have off gate, okay, Like what fuels? What's 108 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: the star? What is it? I mean, I know what 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: a star is, do we really what makes something a star? 110 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: What makes something to start? 111 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: Like? 112 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: What are the properties? What are the qualities of a star? Right? 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: I think I want to know, like what sustains a star? 114 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: Like how does it keep going and going? Because I 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: think that they last for ever, right or for a 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: long time until they they burn out? But what keeps 117 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: them going for so long? And what determines to burnout? Right? Yeah, 118 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: that's a really good question. And then I also have 119 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: questions about just like constellations and planets in general. I 120 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: know that Pluto isn't a planet anymore, but I don't 121 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: really get what makes a planet, Like how do you 122 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: determine whether something is a planet or not? Yeah? Or constellation? 123 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: We're in constellation? Like the only constellation I really know 124 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: is the Big Dipper Orion's Belt, the stars, the cosmos. 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: That's not my strong point, not mine either, Like I 126 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: think I know maybe some physics, U huh, but nah, 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: not really. I've always been terrible at that, and so 128 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: you know, we had to call in the reinforcements. Absolutely, 129 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: it's very needed in this episode. So let's get into 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: the dissection, and in honor of homecoming, we brought out 131 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: a student this week. 132 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: So my name is Amy Steele, and I'm an astronomy 133 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: PhD Candidate at the University of Maryland. That's fancy speak 134 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: for I'm a student. 135 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: There are some basic things that we know, right T T. Yeah. 136 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that we know about 137 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: stars is that they're mostly hydrogen gas. 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and 139 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: stars are mostly made up out of hydrogen. 140 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I understand they're mostly hydrogen, but then what what else? 141 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: In the cores of stars? 142 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: You have fusion going on, where you're combining hydrogen into helium, 143 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: and that process releases not really that much energy, but 144 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: it happens so many times that it ends up being 145 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: a lot of energy. 146 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Yes, fusion, I remember you explaining that. Yeah, that's when 147 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: you put to nuclei together and it gives off a 148 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of energy. 149 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: That energy comes out at us the light that makes 150 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: us hot. 151 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: So hydrogen is like the IT factor. Yeah, the stars, 152 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: that's what's making them glow, and so that IT factor 153 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: can determine whether or not you're a big star or 154 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: a little star. So that's the difference between being Rihanna 155 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: or Rita Aura. Yeah. But stars have the same risk though, right, 156 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: Like they can run out of fuel or not be relevant. Right, 157 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: So what happens when a star runs out of fuel, 158 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: like or it runs out of hydrogen. 159 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: It's not like a star can go to a gas station. 160 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: So it forms with a set amount of hydrogen and 161 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: it uses up that hydrogen over the course of its lifetime, 162 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: and when that hydrogen is gone, it's gone. 163 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: So wait a second, does that mean that someday that 164 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: the Sun is gonna run out of hydrogen? Yeah, but 165 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: that's still like at least five billion years away. Oh 166 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: so we're good. We're good. Okay, So now we know 167 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: that it's not complete lights out for the Sun. The 168 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: first thing that we have to know about a real 169 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: star is that everything revolves around you, literally, but also 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: everything exists because of you. So when the Sun, our 171 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: star was being formed, it was basically like, okay, ladies, 172 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: Dallat's get information. 173 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: A stellar system isn't formed for the planets. The planets 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: form as a result of the star forming itself. The 175 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: star is the star of the show. 176 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: And all of the planets, the Earth, the Moon, all 177 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: of that is just leftovers from the formation of the Sun. 178 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: We're just a byproduct. We're just like a little crumb. 179 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: The Sun is the cookie. 180 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: The Sun is the cookie, The Sun is the cake. 181 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: It just like we saw in Homecoming, Beyonce was dancing, 182 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: those people are moving around her doing all that stuff. 183 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: But you know, if I had to say, who are 184 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: my favorite planets that orbit Beyonce lay Twins, Yes, Oh 185 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: my goodness. They really know how to shine and they 186 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be as well known without Beyonce. Like they 187 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: are stars in their own right. Yeah, don't get me wrong, 188 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: but with Beyonce bringing them close to her definitely took 189 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: them to another level. They're always together. Would they exist 190 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: as real planets? Okay, so let's pull back a bit. 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: If our solar system is made up the Sun the 192 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: cookie and we're just the crumbs off the cookie, how 193 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: did the cookie get made? How is the Sun formed? 194 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: We want to see the ingredients. Yea, how many chocolate chips. 195 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 2: The way that it starts is you have this cloud, 196 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: huge cloud of gas and dust, and there's some little 197 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: bit of motion to. 198 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: It, but you need some kind of external stimulus, like 199 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: you need something else nearby to go off and give 200 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of energy. Right, So sometimes it could 201 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: be like a supernova nearby. 202 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: Eventually it'll start to spin and flatten like a pancake. 203 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: Once the conditions are right for hydrogen to start fusing 204 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: into helium, that process that makes stars shine. The star 205 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: turns on and then the leftover bits that stuff starts 206 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: to clump together, possibly sweeping up material as it's orbiting 207 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: its new baby star. And that's how the planets form. 208 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Lots of these crimes are just aggregating together and making 209 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: bigger cookies. Yeah, bigger crumb balls, right, what are those 210 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: donut holes? Munchkins? Bigger little munchkins. But how do you 211 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: tell this is just a clump of crumbs or this 212 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: is a legit planet? 213 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 2: So to be a planet, there are these three rules 214 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: that you have to abide by, according to the International 215 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: Astronomical Union. 216 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: So first you have to orbit the Sun. You actually 217 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: have to travel around the Sun and follow that path 218 00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: over and over again. 219 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: So this is also why the Moon is not considered 220 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: a planet because its primary orbit is around the Earth. 221 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: So the second thing is that you have to be 222 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: the largest thing in your orbit. And the third thing 223 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: is that you need to be roughly spherical. 224 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: So a lot of the asteroids that you'll see, they're 225 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: elongated or they look like someone took two balls and 226 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: just slapped them together. 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: Like an asteroid. Asteroids are just two rocks slammed together, 228 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: and they have this really weird shape. So they could 229 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: never be a planet. Your faith could never you bad built. 230 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: And so you have to have enough mass to have 231 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: smoothed yourself into a roughly spherical shape. 232 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: So now that we have laid down the rules for 233 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: what it takes to be a planet, what about the 234 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: differences we see between the planets, right? I know that 235 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: like Saturn has rings yep, and Neptune is like has 236 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of water. I'm just out here guessing. 237 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: Let's see what Amy has to say. 238 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: Venus, Earth, and Mars are all pretty rocky, and then Jupiter, Soturn, 239 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: you're in a Snaptune, those are all gassy. Overall, you 240 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: have the small rocky things close to the star where 241 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: it's hotter, and then you have the things that are 242 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: more full of you know, gases that could potentially be 243 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: boiled away if they were too close to something hot. 244 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: Those are farther out. Oh So that makes sense, right, 245 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: because if we have any of those gassy things, they 246 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: need to be in the core somewhere where they're protected 247 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: from the sun. Otherwise they're all evaporated off and all 248 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: we have left is the rock exactly. So these planets 249 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: are set up perfectly in order to sustain themselves. So 250 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: that's really interesting because that's kind of what Amy's job is. 251 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: So she looks at debris from the formation of stars 252 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: and she tries to figure out what they're made of. 253 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: So not our star, not the sun, but the formation 254 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: of other stars. She looks at the debris around them. Well, 255 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: why is there something going on with that? Like? Why 256 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: is that stuff important? If it's just debris. When I 257 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: think of debris, I think of trash on the side 258 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: of the road, just blowing in the wind, But any things, 259 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: it's important. 260 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 2: Knowing what those asteroids and comments are made of is 261 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: pretty important in terms of figuring out how the Solar 262 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: system formed. 263 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: In other words, in order to understand how a star 264 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: is formed, you got to know what's going on around it. 265 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: You want to see what the material around those stars 266 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: it's made of, so that we can begin to assess 267 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: just how unique or not unique the rocky material in 268 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: our solar system actually is. 269 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: Yes, and this gets me to my favorite thing, aliens. Right, 270 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: because if the dust and rocks that surround other stars 271 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: are similar to the dust and rocks that surround our star, 272 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: the Sun, it helps us put our own star, our 273 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: solar system in context. I feel like if those dust 274 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: and rocks look like our dust and rocks, that means 275 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: there could be an Earth in their solar system. Oh, 276 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: I see where you're going. So you think that it's 277 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: possible for there to be another Beyonce in another universe? 278 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Highly unlikely, but could it be. I feel like it's 279 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: more likely that there's Aliens then there's another Beyonce. Do 280 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: you think it's possible that Yonce is an extra terrestrial? Absolutely? 281 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: Her a salon that would make complete sense to me. 282 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, if you said, heyby Ransom, test, 283 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: Beyonce does not have the same composition as the rest 284 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: of y'all. I would say accurate, not surprised. The odds 285 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: are in her favor. Okay, she got different kind of dust, 286 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: she had different interstellar debris, everything different. It's crazy to 287 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: think that our solar system is just one of many 288 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: solar systems that's in our galaxy, and then our galaxy 289 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: is just one tiny part of this huge universe. Right. 290 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: You remember in Men in Black? When did you watch 291 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: Men in Black? Yeah, at the end of the first 292 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Men in Black, when they were looking for that ball 293 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: thing and it turned out to be a marble and 294 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: it was all these galaxies and stuff like that. That was 295 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: the only time that my brain was able to understand 296 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: that there are other galaxies out there. I was like, 297 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: there's other galaxies, and these aliens are just playing marbles 298 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: with the galaxies. But when we get back, we're going 299 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: to start talking about things that are outside of our 300 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: solar system. And we've just been talking about things that 301 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: are in our solar system, our sun and the planets 302 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: around it. But there are whole other solar systems just 303 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: like ours. Y'all thought y'all have a special didn't you. 304 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: And we're back, so we've been talking mostly about our 305 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: solar system, our Sun, our Earth, and the neighboring plants 306 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: around it. But our solar system is just a small 307 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: part of the Milky Way galaxy. And the Milky Way 308 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: has over two hundred billion stars in it, which means 309 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: billions of the planets, dust and debris that are a 310 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: byproduct from the formation of those stars, and enough gas 311 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: and dust to make billions more. But when we think 312 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: about that, how big is the Milky Way really? 313 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 2: So one way that you can think about that is 314 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: in terms. 315 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: Of light years. 316 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: So a light year is a distance that light travels 317 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 2: in one year. 318 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: That distance a light year is huge, huge, As an 319 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: understatement for real, one light year is five point nine 320 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: trillion miles. So you can do a round trip from 321 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: the Earth to the Sun over thirty thousand times. That's crazy. 322 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: And the size of the Milky Way galaxy going from 323 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: one end to the other is about one hundred thousand 324 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: light years. 325 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: So now we're just this is just getting ridiculous. So 326 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: we already said it's crazy, you're gonna go over thirty 327 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: thousand times to Sun back to dirt, to Sun back 328 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: to dirt. Now you're telling me multiply that by one 329 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: hundred thousand too much, cannot compute and that's so crazy. Right, 330 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: So when we think about all those miles that makes 331 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: up our Milky Way, and then we're in our galaxy, 332 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: we're saying there are over two hundred billion stars. I 333 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: think about us being able to see those stars. Like 334 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: I used to go look at the stars at my grandparents' 335 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: house and they didn't have a lot of light pollutions, 336 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: so you can kind of see everything. And it just 337 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: really occurred to me, like, hey, girl, you looking at 338 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: other solar systems that are light years away, and because 339 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: they're light years away, that light has to travel to me. 340 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: That's not even what it looks like anymore. Oh, Like, 341 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: refresh the screen. I want to see what the stars 342 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: look like right now? How do we make sense of 343 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: all that? Like the only thing I really remember about 344 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: the stars was being able to see the Big Dipper 345 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: and the Little Dipper, right, but I don't really know, Like, 346 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: how do we determine what a constellation is? 347 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: Constellations are just a way of dividing up the sky 348 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 2: or the celestial sphere into different regions. 349 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: So currently we have eighty eight constellations, So like, how 350 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: on the surface of the Earth we have different countries 351 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: cities states. Similarly, constellations help us organize the sky, and 352 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: constellations have served a lot of practical purposes over the years, 353 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: like agriculture. Yeah, way back before calendars, people used to 354 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: use constellations to keep track of when the harvest crops. 355 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: That's just crazy. Or navigation. You know, Molana, yes, is 356 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: out there on the sea. You say the line where 357 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: this guy needs to see it calls me, that's exactly 358 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: the part where I start tearing up. And she was 359 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: putting her hand up and navigating that boat. Yeah, same thing. 360 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about constellations is that even though 361 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: we look at them and say like, oh, this is 362 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: this constellation, it's the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Orion's belt. 363 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: Two things that I found really interesting. One is that 364 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: those stars aren't necessarily close to each other, right, So 365 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: you could have a star that's really bright and it's 366 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: close to you, or a star here that's dim, but 367 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: it's dim because it's super far away compared to that 368 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: bright star. And then the other thing is that the 369 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: names we use for constellations, most of them come from 370 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: like Greek mythology or ancient Roman stories, but they weren't 371 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: the only ones that were looking at the star. Come on, somebody, 372 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: so the Messiah. Native American tribes, all of these different 373 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: groups have had different names for those constellations in the sky, 374 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: but only some of those names are in your textbook, 375 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: SIPs Tea. I ain't saying, but I'm just saying so 376 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: in our galaxy, constellations are there to help us make 377 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: sense of things. But there are other things in our 378 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: galaxy that, no matter how hard we try, they may 379 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: never make sense. Like black holes. We just got the 380 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: very first picture of a black hole a couple weeks ago, 381 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: and I don't know about you, but that terrified me. 382 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to see a black hole. Everybody dies 383 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: in the movies when there's a black hole. Right, that 384 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: black hole isn't even in our galaxy. I don't need 385 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: that disrupting the space time continuum. Let things be as 386 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: they are. Right. And so now people say, oh, pretty 387 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: soon we should have a picture of a black hole 388 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: in our galaxy. No, I don't want no smoke from 389 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: a black hole. Listen, leave it be. It might not 390 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: light flash photography. You need to carry on as you were. 391 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: It's like the Sas squad. Stop looking for it. Black holes. 392 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: I just my brain kind of gets a little too 393 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: hot when I try to make sense of black holes. 394 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: Black Holes are massive pits where gravitational force is so 395 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: strong it sucks in everything in its path, debris, dust, planets, light. 396 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: And the way a black hole is formed is when 397 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: a star dies and collapses in on itself. I got 398 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: some stuff to throw on a black hole. I've got 399 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: plenty stuff to throw on the black hole. Take mine, Witchie. 400 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: The Milky Way our galaxy. We have our own supermassive 401 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: black hole, and it's called Sagittaries a star, and we 402 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: just looked at a sort of an image of one 403 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: in the galaxy see M. Eighty seven, which is really exciting. 404 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: So we do know we have one Sabarius a star. 405 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: But I'm a little nervous. Right where are you a 406 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: black hole in our galaxy? And are you close to us? 407 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: That's what I write, because are we like right on 408 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: the edge? Are we about to fall in? Are we 409 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: in danger? Earth? You in danger? Girl? 410 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: So we are not close to the center of our galaxy. 411 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: We are in the outskirts. We are in the boonies. 412 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: I want to be I don't want to be in 413 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: the city next to the black hole. Another thing that 414 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: can happen when the star dies is that it can 415 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: become a white dwarf. What's that? 416 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: So if the sun is a flame, then a white 417 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: dwarf is the ember after the flame is gone. 418 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: I think a black hole is like something that leaves 419 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: this gaping opening and everybody misses them. Like Nipsey Hustle, 420 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: a black black hole. Rest in peace will never be 421 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: the same, and so like it affects affects everybody. But 422 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: then a white dwarf is a star that kind of 423 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: just has, you know, run its course and it's now, 424 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, a legend or something like that, like we'll 425 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: never forget the shine it had, and now they're just 426 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: enjoying their time as a white dwarf. Kind of like 427 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: Diana Ross. She not dead, she's not dead, but she's 428 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: her career is her singing career is done. She's not singing. 429 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: She just did something recently because it was her seventy 430 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: fifth Oh god, okay, let's do something. Let's keep it. 431 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: It's perfect. This reminds me of that time when I 432 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: said Anita Baker and you thought I met Josephine Baker. 433 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: Every time I think about that time and You're like 434 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: the lady in black and white with the bananas. Who 435 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: knows who knows? Who? Can never be really sure about 436 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: who's Anita Baker and who's Josephine Baker? No one. I 437 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: love it. So that was a lot for both of us, right, 438 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we are in our recording studio and it 439 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: is hot in here from all of us being like what, 440 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: my brain is overheated. But I think we learned a lot, 441 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: and there was one thing that I think that Amy 442 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: brought up that is very very cool. It brought me 443 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot of hope. Yes, maybe there is a future 444 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: for us. 445 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: This is so cheesy, but I'm gonna say it anyway. 446 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 2: It's just that we're made of star stuff and it's 447 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 2: so cool to think about. 448 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: I love it. 449 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: All of the things that we have on the Earth 450 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 2: that are heavier than hydrogen were formed through the evolution 451 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 2: of stars. 452 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: And we're made of those elements. We are made of 453 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the same elements of a star of the sun. Beyonce 454 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: Beyonce too. I'm gonna say it with even more conviction 455 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: now when I tell people you can't shave me, I say, 456 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: you can't shave the sun. And I really want to telescope, Like, 457 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: after thinking about this, is it gonna it's gonna make me? Yeah, man, 458 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be good for it. I mean for me, 459 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: it'll be bad if I got to tell us, because 460 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: the idea of that much space around me, it crushes 461 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: my brain where I'm just like, I'm not even the 462 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: size of a molecule of hydrogen when you think of 463 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: the universe, when we think about what a molecule of 464 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: hydrogen is to us, we're not even that small. We're 465 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: smaller than that. Good grief and that type of awareness 466 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: paralyzes me. I'm like, ooh, all this space, you are 467 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: now free to roam. I feel like now free to 468 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: roam about the cabin. Yeah, except I'm not. I want 469 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: to get to another galaxy. I'm out of here people, 470 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to another rock. So we've always 471 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: structured our seasons as semesters, and everybody knows halfway through 472 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: the semester it's the midterm, and celebrate our midterm.
