I mean I like my cookies well dusted 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: with sugar, but my laptop keyboard well dusted with zero dust. 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, household dust is less delicious, and powdered sugar isn't 44 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 4: regular dust like fifty percent skin cells. 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: That sounds like a pretty gross thing to put on 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: your cookies. On the other hand, it would be pretty 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: weird if powdered sugar just like accumulated. 48 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: In your house, it'd be pretty sweet. 49 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: We might call for some sweeping changes. 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 4: Uh, I'm glad you got to dust off that old punt. 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 5: Hi. 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 4: I'm poor haamdy cartoonas and the author of Oliver's Great 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 4: Big Universe. 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist and a professor 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: at UC Irvine. And I don't like dust as much 56 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: as astronomers do. 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 4: But do you still like it a little bit? 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I like dust the way I like the sun. It's fascinating, 59 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: it's interesting, it's useful. It tells us about the cosmos. 60 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: But I don't really want it on my laptop or 61 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: on my table. 62 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: But everywhere else it's okay. 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, study it from a distance, you know, the way 64 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: like I'm fascinated by cheetahs, but I don't really want 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: to have a cheat on my lap. 66 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: Do you carry a duster with you at all times? 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: Then I actually do have this very fancy little machine 68 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: for removing dust from your keyboard. 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: Is it called blowing on it? Or did you Did 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: you actually pay for a machine to do that? 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: I actually have a nice little machine. It's really quite good. 72 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Yeah I should call it mini made. 73 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: Wait, what is it like a vacuum. 74 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: No, it's like a little blower. 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: You know. 76 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: It replaces those disposable cans that I thought were not 77 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: very environmentally friendly, though I do love them. 78 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: Oh, I see you mean like the dust between the keys, 79 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: like you want to get rid of it, like in 80 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: the nooks and crannies. 81 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I like a nice clean keyboard. 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: Oh I thought you meant like on your screen, because 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: I think you can just wipe that off. 84 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: I think you can, but probably that dust contains all 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: sorts of fascinating stories where each of those bits has been. 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 4: But you know, if you just blow the dust, it's 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: just getting in the air and then it's going to 88 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: come back down on your keyboard. 89 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 6: I know. 90 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: It's a cycle. Unless I'm willing to live in a 91 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: clean room, I can never escape it. 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: So you don't like living in clean rooms. 93 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't have to wear a hairnet and booties all 94 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: the time. 95 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 4: No, just some of the time. But anyways, Welcome to 96 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: a podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe, a production 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 4: of Our Heart Radio. 98 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: In which we dive deep into the cycles of the universe, 99 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: the ones that produce massive stars and tiny grains of dust. 100 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: Everything out there in the universe has a history and 101 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: tells a story, and if we can unpack it, unravel it, 102 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: and study it, you can reveal those stories and the 103 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: history of our own cosmic to learn about the formation 104 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: of the planets and stars and the universe itself, from 105 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: the biggest clues to the tiniest speck of dust. 106 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 4: That's right, we blow the dust off of the universe, 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 4: trying to uncover what's underneath, what shiny surface or interesting 108 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: facts are there for us to understand and to learn about. 109 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: I love in archaeology how every time they're going to 110 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: discover something amazing, they always have to blow dust off 111 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: of it, pull cobwebs off of it. That's like your 112 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: visual cue that you're about to learn something ancient. 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: Wait, wait, what do you mean? 114 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: I mean? I just watched a New Indian Jones. I guess. 115 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: So you know, anytime they unde earth something from the 116 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: olden days, it's always covered in dust. Of course. 117 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 5: MM. 118 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 4: To see they carry a duster with them at all times. 119 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: Maybe you can buy one of those devices and you 120 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: didn't have to waste electricity. 121 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: I'd be that neat freak archaeologist. I don't think i'd 122 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: get very far in the field. 123 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a dusty universe full of amazing things, 124 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: where even the dust is interesting in the universe. 125 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Down here on Earth we see dust as sort of 126 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: a nuisance, something to brush out of our way. But 127 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: out in space dust places it's a very important role 128 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: in the formation of stars and planets, and it can 129 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: reveal that history. Dust is not just a nuisance. It's 130 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: a fascinating pile of tiny clues. 131 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: So today end podcast, we'll be asking the question how 132 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: important is cosmic dust? Now, hopefully this episode won't be 133 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: a bust. 134 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: Should we just be sweeping cosmic dust under the cosmic 135 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: rug or should we take it seriously and study it 136 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: in detail. 137 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: M that's a bit of a dusty pun there, you 138 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: used it already, but yeah, it's an interesting question here. 139 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 4: Cosmic dust I guess it's different than regular dust. 140 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Well, I think there's fewer dead skin cells and leftover 141 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: bits of insects out there floating between the stars than 142 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: there is here on Earth. But cosmic dust also falls 143 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: to Earth. 144 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 4: You mean it gets sprinkled from space like powdered sugar. 145 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know that space isn't empty, and there's dust 146 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: out there between the stars but also between the planets, 147 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: and as the Earth moves through these cosmic dust clouds, 148 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: it accumulates some of them. Some tons of dust fall 149 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: to Earth every year from interplanetary space out there in 150 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: the Solar System. 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: WHOA is it like dandruff space dandruff? Or is that 152 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: too embarrassing? 153 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: We had a whole fun episode about where this stuff 154 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: comes from. It's a bit of a mystery. There's a 155 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: recent experiment though, that tries to pin the blame on Mars. 156 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: It might be that dust storms on Mars are blowing 157 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: that stuff out into space, and the Earth is flying 158 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: through Mars dust clouds. So yeah, I guess it's all 159 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: Martian dandruff. 160 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, Mars needs some head and shoulders. 161 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Well first they need to heads and shoulders. That'd be 162 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. 163 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: Discovery yeah, or maybe just a hat that might help. 164 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: But it is an interesting question. How important is cosmic dust? 165 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: Which I guess means Daniel, that cosmic dust is important. 166 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: Cosmic dust is more important than you might think. I mean, 167 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the word dust makes you think it's insignificant. It's just 168 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: something to be blown off of. Something else. Man, it 169 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: gets in your way something, It messes things up, something 170 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: to be gotten rid of. But dust has clues in it. 171 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: This is like the dust here on Earth tells you 172 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: who's been living there and the insects that have been around. 173 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: Dust out in space tells you what's been happening in 174 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: the universe because there's dust makers and dust consumers, and 175 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: dust also plays a big role in making stars and planets. 176 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 4: Well, you just said dust consumers out in space, like 177 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: aliens who buy dust. 178 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like, not dust customers. You know, 179 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: ways in which just is created and then dust is destroyed. 180 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: I should say dust destroyers. 181 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: Oh there you go. See that's a device. I would 182 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 4: buy a dust destroyer. 183 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: Wait till you learn how dust is destroyed. You don't 184 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: want one of these things? 185 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 4: Maybe I do. Let's find out. Well, as usual, we 186 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 4: were wondering how many people had thought about the importance 187 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 4: of cosmic does and what role it has in our 188 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: search for the meaning of the universe and how it 189 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: all works. 190 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody who pitches in for this segment of 191 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: the podcast. I hear from listeners that they really enjoy 192 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: hearing your voices in your thoughts on the episode topic. 193 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: If you would like to share your voice and thoughts, 194 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: please don't be shy, write me too. Questions at Danielandjorge 195 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: dot com. 196 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: So think about for a second, how important do you 197 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 4: think cosmic dust is? Here's what people have to. 198 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 7: Say, stop waving from the universe. I would say that 199 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 7: twenty percent is planet stars, black holes, sixty percent gus, 200 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 7: and the rest twenty percent is dust. 201 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 5: I think that this is the one of those questions 202 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 5: that but you have to think about some things that 203 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 5: you usually take for granted. So I would say that 204 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: the MUQA is mostly composed by dust. 205 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 4: All right, interesting answers here. Some people seem to interpret 206 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 4: the question as like how significant is cosmic doest? 207 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 208 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 4: Like, or like how much how much of the universe 209 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 4: is cosmic does? 210 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: And they also seem to be taking it as a 211 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: leading question, like because I'm asking it. They're figuring probably 212 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: it's a big component of the universe and playing an 213 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: important role. 214 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 4: I see, it wouldn't be very interesting. Answer was just 215 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: like not at all or nope, nobody cares. 216 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like how important are Daniel dirty socks? Yeah? Not interesting, 217 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: not important? Move on, that wouldn't be a very fun episode. 218 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: Let's not talk about your socks because I know you 219 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: don't wear socks, so. 220 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: Well, then it's a philosophy question, right can my socks 221 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: be unimportant if they don't even exist? 222 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: There you go, philosophy of footwear. 223 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: Somebody out there is doing a whole PhD Thesis on 224 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: that topic, probably. 225 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: On your socks. 226 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: On socks and jacky. 227 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: I know you're famous now, Daniel, but geez. 228 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: No on socks? Why they disappear? Where they go? Why 229 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: dryers consume them? See dryers are sock destroyers, nye. It 230 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: turns them into dust. Maybe it transports them to the 231 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: hozone layer of the atmosphere. 232 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 4: So let's dig into this topic, Daniel. What is cosmic dust? 233 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: Cosmic dust is an important part of the solar system, 234 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: though it's not a big fraction of the solar system. 235 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: The answer from these listeners made me dig into the 236 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: question of like, actually, what is the mass budget of 237 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: the Solar system? How much of it is cosmic dust, 238 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: and how much of it is made of other stuff? 239 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: So what's the breakdown? 240 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: So the Milky Way weighs about one to one and 241 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: a half trillion times the mass of the Sun. That's 242 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: like our mass unit a solar mass, and the total 243 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: Milky Way is about a trillion trillion and a half 244 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: solar masses. Now, most of that, like ninety percent of 245 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: that is dark matter. We know that the stuff that's 246 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: visible in the universe, the stuff that glows, and even 247 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: the stuff that doesn't glow that much, like rocks and 248 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: dust and asteroids, that's only like ten percent of the 249 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: mass of the Milky Way. Out there in the larger universe, 250 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: dark matter is a little bit less common than it 251 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: is here in the Milky Way. The Milky Way has 252 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: more dark matter than an average galaxy. 253 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 4: And I guess how do we know these things? Like 254 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 4: how do we know how much the Milky Way weighs? 255 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 4: Do we put it on a scale or something? 256 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: We can measure the component of the Milky Way independently 257 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: and then add them up. The stars and the interstellar 258 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: medium and the black hole. All that stuff we can 259 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: measure independently, and then we can measure the total by 260 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: looking at how fast the Milky Way is rotating. Because 261 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: stars are like tracers, they move around the Milky Way, 262 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: and their speed is determined by the gravitational traction of 263 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: everything closer to the center than they are. Things further 264 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: away from the center on the outer shell don't affect 265 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: them at all, things on the inside do. So by 266 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: reading the speed of these stars, we can tell how 267 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: much mass their radius encloses, and so that measures the 268 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: total mass of the Solar System. And that's how we 269 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: infer dark matter, sort of the left over bit that 270 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: we can't account for with stars and planets and gas 271 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: and dust. 272 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 4: But we can't see all of the Milky Way, right 273 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: Like we're in the Milky Way, Can we really see 274 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: the full extent of it and have a good guess 275 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 4: about its composition. 276 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of uncertainty, which is why I said 277 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: one to one and a half trillion solar masses. So 278 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: that's like an uncertainty of five hundred billion solar masses. 279 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: And yeah, part of that comes from the fact that 280 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: we can't see the whole Milky Way because we're looking 281 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: through it, we're inside of it, and the Milky Way 282 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: has a good amount of dust in it, and that 283 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: dust obscures our view. So there's a whole region of 284 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: the Milky Way that we can't see very well in 285 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: many frequencies of light, and that leads to a lot 286 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: of this uncertainty. 287 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: I see. So, then how much of our Milky Way 288 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 4: is dust? 289 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: So it's like ninety percent dark matter, Then it's like 290 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: three percent stars, it's like one hundred to two hundred 291 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: billion stars, and then leftover is this stuff called the 292 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: interstellar medium, which is maybe like half a percent or 293 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: one percent of the mass of the Milky Way, and 294 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: one percent of that is dust. The interstellar medium is 295 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: mostly gas. It's like hydrogen and a little bit of helium. 296 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: So one percent of the interstellar medium, which is one 297 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: percent of the galaxy, is dust. So the dust is 298 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: like pointzho one percent or maybe half of that. It's 299 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: a tiny fraction of the mass of the Milky Way. 300 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 4: So I guess you don't count that gas is dust, right. 301 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: That's right. And this is another example of humans putting 302 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: categories on things where really there's a smooth spectrum. If 303 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: we call it gas, it means it's like a molecule, 304 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: there's like h two floating out there, we call that gas. 305 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: If it's a larger clump of stuff, bunch of molecules together, 306 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: little grains dound like one hundred nanometers or larger, we 307 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: call that dust. Get much bigger, we start to call 308 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: you like a meteor or an asteroid or even a planet. 309 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: But in the end there's a whole spectrum all the 310 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: way down from individual molecules which we call gas, to 311 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: larger clumps of stuff which we call dust, all the 312 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: way up to much bigger objects stars and planets. 313 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: I guess at some point you get to like pebbles, 314 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 4: right and little rocks. Is there such a thing as 315 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: space sand? 316 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: Well, you know this dust is made of carbon and silicates, right, 317 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: and sand is mostly silicates. So in the end, like 318 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: a lot of this space dust is kind of like 319 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: super fine grains of sand. 320 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: But then I also imagine there is sort of sand 321 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: sized grains out there in space. 322 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: There are larger pieces for sure, and so this intermedia 323 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: category we call dust is not a very big fraction 324 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: of the mass of the Milky Way. But to compare 325 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: it's about the same mass as the central black hole. 326 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: Point oh one percent of the Milky Way. Sounds like 327 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: a tiny number. It's a tiny percentage of a huge number, right, 328 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: one and a half trillion solar masses. So it comes 329 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: out to be about the mass of the central black hole. 330 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: And so where did all this dust come from? Like 331 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: are there giant space aliens shedding of their skin? 332 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: To understand where the dust comes from, we need to 333 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: dig into a little bit more about like what is 334 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: this dust? And it's made of like a bunch of 335 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: different stuff. Some tiny little portion of it, this is 336 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: really fascinating, comes from the atmospheres of stars. We know 337 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: that stars their job is to take hydrogen and helium 338 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and lighter elements and fuse them into heavier elements although 339 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: I have to iron and even heavier in the case 340 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: of supernova. And in the atmospheres of these stars, especially 341 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: when they get really really big and near the end 342 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: of their life, their atmospheres produce these little grains. They're 343 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: like coalesce as they cool, and the outflow in the 344 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: atmosphere of these stars. That's sort of like one source 345 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: of this stuff. But if you look out into the universe, 346 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: and study this stuff. Most of it is not these 347 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: presolar grains, the little blobs made in the atmospheres of stars. 348 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: Most of it's been like reprocessed, like shattered and ground 349 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: up and reformed into new bits. 350 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: Interesting just from like the churning of space, of stuff 351 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 4: in space. 352 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: Just from the churning of space, it turns out that 353 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: you can't just hang out as a grain in the 354 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: middle of space. There are processes happening out there. There 355 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: are processes that destroy dust and processes that reform it. 356 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: The dust destroyers that are out there. It sounds like, 357 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, some big alien ship coming along to clean 358 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: up the universe, but actually it's shock waves from supernova. 359 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: When supernova collapse and then explode, they produce these huge 360 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: shock waves, massive amounts of energy, gamma, rays, neutrinos, all 361 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: sorts of stuff, and that comes along and it shatters 362 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: these grains, destroying the dust and breaking it like back 363 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: down into gas. 364 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: Well, you know, they say space is just a big vacuum, 365 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 4: so those are just suckle. Anyways, So you were saying 366 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: that dust is important in the universe. Is it important 367 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 4: to the universe or just to our understanding or or 368 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 4: to our search for answers about the universe. 369 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: Well, both, like the history of dust tells us what's 370 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: happened out there in the universe. You can take each 371 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: individual solar grain if it survived this like interstellar shattering process, 372 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: and some of them have, and you can trace it 373 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: back to an individual star. Like every star has a 374 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: different mixture of elements and a different mixture of isotopes, 375 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: so they leave special fingerprints in their solar grains, and 376 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: so like ular grain can tell you, like what that 377 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: star was. It's like a little sample from that star. 378 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: And some of them are made during supernova and capture 379 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: elements and isotopes that only exist, we think, in the 380 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: atmospheres of supernova during those brief moments that are super 381 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: energetic and can tell us about the formation of heavy 382 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: elements and what's going on in supernova. So there are 383 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: these amazing capsules that tell us about the history of 384 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: the universe. 385 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 4: But I think maybe you don't mean like each individual grain, 386 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 4: do you look, You maybe need like a population or 387 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 4: like a cloud of this dust to sort of know 388 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 4: what the star was like. 389 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: Well, each indivi vidual grain tells you something about that star. 390 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: Not every grain produced by the star is identical, right, 391 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: and the star has a variety of stuff in it, 392 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 1: but each one traces back to an individual. 393 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 4: Star because each grain would be made out of different things. 394 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, each star would make different kinds of grains. There's 395 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: going to be some overlap. It's not completely unique, right, 396 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: But each star is made out of different kinds of stuff, 397 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: different elements, different mixtures. Each star is a slightly different 398 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: mass and temperature, and so it produces different mixtures of 399 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: stuff and different isotopes. So the grains produced by each 400 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: star are different. 401 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 4: Like an individual grain would have different things in it 402 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 4: and different signatures in it. 403 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. The isotopes found in an individual grain tell 404 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: you about the star that it came from. 405 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 4: Mmmm. Interesting. So how is it important to the universe itself? 406 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: Because it doesn't seem like it weighs a lot in 407 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 4: the Milca way. So maybe I wonder if it has 408 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 4: a big role in, you know, the dynamics of space. 409 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: It does play a big role in the dynamics of 410 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: space sort of, for two reasons. One is that stuff 411 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: heavier than gas is the reason that we have like 412 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: planets and stars and stuff like that. Like the Earth 413 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: is mostly made out of stuff that's not just hydrogen 414 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: and helium, right, and that's cosmic dust gathered together to 415 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: form planets. So most of the rocky stuff of the 416 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: Solar system came originally from what we would call cosmic dust, right, 417 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: those heavier elements that are created by stars and spewed 418 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: out into space. And also we think that this cosmic 419 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: dust plays a role in the formation of solar systems. 420 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: You have a huge gas cloud that eventually collapses into 421 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: a bunch of stars. Why does it collapse. It collapses 422 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: because it's a little spot here that's denser, that's heavier, 423 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: that's cosmic dust. Man, Those are like the iron grains 424 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: and the little bits of heavy elements floating around that 425 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: seed that gravitational collapse. 426 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 4: Wait, are you saying the Bible was right? We all 427 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 4: come from dust, from dust to dust. 428 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: And even ashes, right, star ashes cool? 429 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 4: And so then how does it help us study the universe? 430 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 4: Or how does it not help us study the universe? 431 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? 432 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: It both hurts our ability to study the universe and 433 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: helps us. Like it prevents us from seeing things in 434 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: the universe because it absorbs light and it blocks our view. 435 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: The center of the Milky Way, which is choked with 436 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: dust is famously called by astronomers the zone of avoidance 437 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: because they have to look away from that region. You 438 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: can't see through the center of the Milky Way in 439 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: optical lights, so you can't see what's on the other 440 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: side of the galaxy very easily. So it's sort of 441 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: a pain for astronomers, but it also captures this history 442 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: right and in order to understand the cycles of star 443 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: formation in the universe, we do have to understand the 444 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: cosmic dust because the cosmic dust plays a role in 445 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: the formation of those stars and is also then destroyed 446 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: by the supernovas and then reforms. It's all part of 447 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: the cycle of the Milky Way. You might imagine the 448 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Milky Way is just like a bunch of stars floating 449 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: in space basically doing nothing, but it's churning and burning. 450 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: This stuff going on just sort of much longer time 451 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: scales than we're used to thinking about. 452 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 4: Hmmm, interesting, All right, Well, let's get into how we 453 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 4: know where the dust in the universe is and the 454 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 4: very important question where does it all comes from? Who's 455 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: making this mess in the universe. So let's stick into that. 456 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 4: But first let's take a quick break. 457 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: With big wireless providers. What you see is never what 458 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: you get. Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill, 459 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the price, your thoughts you were paying magically skyrockets. With 460 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: mint Mobile, You'll never have to worry about gotcha's ever again. 461 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: When mint Mobile says fifteen dollars a month for a 462 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: three month plan, they really mean it. I've used mint 463 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Mobile and the call quality is always so crisp and 464 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: so clear. I can recommend it to you. So say 465 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: bye bye to your overpriced wireless plans, jaw dropping monthly 466 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: bills and unexpected overages.

Seemnt Mobile for details. 479 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 6: AI might be the most important new computer technology ever. 480 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 6: It's storming every industry and literally billions of dollars are 481 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 6: being invested, so buckle up. The problem is that AI 482 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 6: needs a lot of speed and processing power, So how 483 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 6: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 484 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 6: time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud. 485 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 6: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. OCI is a single platform 486 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 6: for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.

Dairy has set themselves some 509 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse gas neutral by twenty fifty. 510 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: That's why they're working hard every day to find new 511 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and drive down 512 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, for example, most dairy farms 513 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: reuse water up to four times. The same water cools 514 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: the milk, cleans equipment, washes the barn, and irrigates the crops. 515 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: How is US dairy tackling greenhouse gases. Many farms use 516 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: anaerobic digestors that turn the methane from maneuver into renewable 517 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: energy that can power farms, towns, and electric cars. So 518 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: the next time you grab a slice of pizza or 519 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: lick an ice cream cone, know that dairy farmers and 520 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: processors around the country are using the latest practices and 521 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: innovations to provide the nutrient dense dairy products we love 522 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: with less of an impact.

If you walk down the street in 528 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: Berkeley and you ask people for cosmic dust, I'm pretty 529 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: sure they'll tell you something do. 530 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: Sell you something. But we're talking about the dust. It's 531 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: out there in space between the stars, and it's important 532 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 4: because we're all made out of dust. Stars and planets, 533 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 4: they're all essentially made come from dust that gravity pulls together, 534 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 4: and so it's important for that reason. But it also 535 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 4: sort of helps us understand the origins of stars. 536 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: In the universe, right, even though it's tiny, it's a 537 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: little bitty part of the mass budget of the Solar system. 538 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: It tells us about how things work, and it plays 539 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: a role in getting those things started. 540 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 4: But I imagine maybe at some point in the universe's 541 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 4: history dust It was all dust basically, right, that's where 542 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 4: all those stars came from. No, I guess you went 543 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 4: from gas to stars and then those made dust exactly. 544 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: We think that the universe began and dust lists, right. 545 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: So it's actually an interesting open question in astronomy right now, 546 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: is like when was the first dust made? People really 547 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: want to understand the process by which dust is created 548 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: and destroyed and helps form new stars, and there's a 549 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: lot of open questions out there. We don't really fully 550 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: understand the process of it. But we're pretty sure that 551 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: the universe began with just hydrogen and helium and the 552 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: tiny trace elements of things heavier and no larger molecules 553 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: of course, and it's only when stars began to burn 554 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: that dust was created. 555 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 4: But I wonder if in the Big Bang, you know, 556 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 4: things were so intense, there was so much pressure, there 557 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 4: was so much violent processes going on, so many of 558 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 4: those that I wondered if some hydrogen started emerging together 559 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 4: and make dust without any stars? Is that possible? 560 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: What the earliest dust we've seen is like several hundred 561 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: million years after the Big Bang, and it's possible that 562 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: hydrogen formed and crystallized somehow earlier on. I don't think 563 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: we would call that cosmic dust though, if it's just 564 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: pure hydrogen, probably just call that hydrogen crystals. I think 565 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: to be called dust probably needs to have some like 566 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: carbon and some silicon and some heavier elements in it. 567 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 4: But I mean, could a little bit of a carbon 568 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 4: and silicon have formed in during the Big Bang? 569 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: Big Bang Nuclear synthesis is a pretty precise science, and 570 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: it tells us based on the temperature and like the 571 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: cork density, exactly how much of what was made. And 572 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: we think that it's almost overwhelmingly hydrogen, with just tiny 573 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: trace elements of helium and then little tiny, anty bitty 574 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: bits of heavier stuff carbon. Probably not because carbon requires 575 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: the merging of three helium simultaneously, because lithium is so unstable, 576 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: so very unlikely that any carbon was formed, but you 577 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: can't say no, it's possible there were tiny, tiny grains 578 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: of carbon form during the Big Bang. 579 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 4: So there could be primordial dust out there, like og dust. 580 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: That's right. The most ancient dust is possible, though. The 581 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: oldest dust we've ever seen is a few hundred million 582 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: years after the Big Bang. 583 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 4: All right, Well, that brings us to our next question, 584 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: which is how do we know where the dust in 585 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 4: the universe is. It doesn't glow in space, right. 586 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: It actually kind of does glow in space, not the 587 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: way that stars do. Right. Stars create their own light 588 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: through fusion. They light up the whole universe. But everything 589 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: out there has a temperature, and everything that has a 590 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: temperature glows. Even the Earth glows, right. It gives off 591 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: in red radiation, and so dust glows in the very 592 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: very infrared because dust is pretty cold. So you can 593 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: see the dust if you use telescopes that can see 594 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: infrared light and so like the Spitzer Space telescope and 595 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: a James Web Space telescope. These things out there can 596 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: see dust in our galaxy and in other galaxies by 597 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: its thermal emissions. 598 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: Like I guess you could tell where there was a 599 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 4: lot of dust and where there isn't a lot of dust. 600 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You can't see an individual grain, but you 601 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: can see like huge clouds of dust here and there. 602 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: You can see it glowing in the very far infrared. 603 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: You can also see dust by how it blocks light, 604 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: Like we think we understand how stars glow and the 605 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: light that they give off, and dust blocks that light. 606 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: You know, it absorbs some frequencies of it, it reflects 607 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: other frequencies of it. And so by looking at what 608 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: astronomers call the extinction curve, like where's light being blocked, 609 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: they can measure how much dust there is between us 610 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: and something. 611 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 4: So we measure it by how it much it blocks light, 612 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 4: not how much it reflects light. 613 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: We measure it by how much it blocks light and 614 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: also emits a little bit of light in the infrared, 615 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: So it depends a lot on the frequency it will reflect. 616 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: Blue light mostly infrared light can mostly pass through dust 617 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: shorter frequencies where the light has like roughly the wavelength 618 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: of the dust that will get reflected or absorbed. So 619 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: when light passes through a dust cloud, it basically gets 620 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: reddened because the blue light gets reflected and the red 621 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: light makes it through. 622 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 4: It's a little bit of the opposite of what happens 623 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 4: here during the sunset. No, it's the same it's the same. 624 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: The light gets reddened, right, the atmosphere tends to reflect 625 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: blue light, so the sky looks blue because in direct 626 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: sunlight gets scattered down to your eye. Then at sunset, 627 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: the light is coming straight at you and the blue 628 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: light is being reflected away and you're seeing the red light. 629 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 4: It filters like it filters out blue. 630 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: Light, exactly, it filters out blue light. And so when 631 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: astronomers look out into the sky, they can see that 632 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: some stars appear to be dimmed, and they appear to 633 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: be dimmed differently across the spectrum. Right, it's not just 634 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: like the whole star is dimmer, which might mean it 635 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: just further away, but it's more in the red than 636 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: in the blue. So these extinction curves are really important 637 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: for astronomers to study because every time they're looking at 638 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: something in the universe, they want to know, like how 639 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: much dust are we looking through? How much is dust 640 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: distorting what we're seeing? 641 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 4: So technically does that mean that dust this space dust 642 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 4: is blue like if you were when you sort of 643 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 4: look at it, it's blueish. 644 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: I guess it reflects blue light. It glows in the 645 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: far infrared, but it reflects blue light, so I guess 646 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: that would make it kind of blue. 647 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, And have we ever got in a sample of dust, Like, 648 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 4: have we ever gone out there and grabbed a vacuumed 649 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 4: up some dust to study it. 650 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: We do actually have samples of space dust. It's super fascinating. 651 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: All the dust that we have sampled is only stuff 652 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: in our solar system, so we've never sampled stuff outside 653 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: of our solar system. The furthest probes we ever sent 654 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: had like just barely left the Solar system. But there's 655 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: plenty of space dust here in our solar system, and 656 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: many many satellites that we send have little dust collectors. 657 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: It's kind of a challenge because these satellites are moving 658 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: in very high speeds relative to the dust, so it 659 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: can be tricky to like catch the dust. But there 660 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: are some missions like the star Dust Mission, specifically to 661 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: capture dust and bring it back. But then lots of 662 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: other satellites have like a little space dust collector on it. 663 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: We talked once about the Juno mission that went to 664 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: Jupiter in twenty eleven had sort of an accidental star 665 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: dust collector on it. The dust was slamming into the 666 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: back of the solar panels on the satellite and then 667 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: spilating off little bits which you got picked up by 668 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: a camera, and it turned out to be like a 669 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: huge effective dust collector. And this is how we learned 670 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: that Mars is giving off all of this dust, which 671 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: is probably responsible for causing the zodiacal light. We have 672 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: also captured some dust and brought down to Earth and 673 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: studied it under a microscope and seen like some fractions 674 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: of this stuff really are presolar grains, bits of dust 675 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: that are older than our solar system. 676 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 4: Whoa super old dust. 677 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: Super old dust. Our solar system is like four and 678 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: a half billion years old, But of course stars have 679 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: been around for much longer than that, and some of 680 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: them died and created these grains, which amazingly survived out 681 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: there in space and then formed into asteroids or formed 682 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: as part of the Earth, or still just floating out there. 683 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: It's incredible that some of these little grains have lasted 684 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: so long. 685 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: And we also know how much dust is out there 686 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 4: because it's polarized, right, it's got some sort of electrical 687 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 4: charge list to it. 688 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, the dust grains are not spherical, right, They have 689 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: little shapes. They are irregular, which means that they tend 690 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: to be longer in one direction than another, and because 691 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: they're made of electromagnetic stuff, sometimes they have an overall charge. 692 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: You know, the dust like bumps against itself. It gets 693 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: like static electricity essentially, and then interstellar space it will 694 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: align with magnetic fields. You know, the Earth has a 695 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: magnetic field, the Sun has a magnetic field, the whole 696 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: galaxy has magnetic fields. We think there might even be 697 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: magnetic fields out there in between superclusters. We talked ones 698 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: about primordial magnetic fields. Anyway, the dust grains are a 699 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: great way to measure those magnetic fields because they align 700 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: with the magnetic fields. And then when light passes through them, 701 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: it tends to polarize the light because the dust itself 702 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: is pointing in a specific direction. So light passing through 703 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: this region can tell you about the dust and about 704 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: the magnetic fields in that region. It's sort of an 705 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: amazing way to learn about these huge regions of space 706 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: which otherwise look empty. 707 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 4: Well, it's like having special glasses to see the universe. 708 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So we have lots of ways to study 709 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: cosmic dust and to look at the spectrum, and you know, 710 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: looking at the spectrum also tells you what's in there 711 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: because if it has like a certain crystal, then that 712 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: crystal has rotational and vibrational frequencies and they will absorb 713 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 1: with those frequencies or emit it those frequencies. And so 714 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: they can tell what's in cosmic dust even if we 715 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: can't sample it, Like cosmic dust is far far away 716 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: in the Milky Way. They can tell what it's made 717 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: out of based on how it glows and how it 718 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: absorbs light. 719 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 4: Mmm, because that can change, I guess, depending on what 720 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 4: was happening there that made the. 721 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: Dust exactly, because cosmic dust is not static, right. One 722 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: of the big mysteries is like where's all this cosmic 723 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: dust come from? And you know, we think that a 724 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: lot of it is made in stars. It's made in 725 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: supernova It's made in these stars called asymptotic giant branch stars. 726 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: It's made in super red giant stars. They have like 727 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: just the right conditions in their atmosphere to coalesce this stuff, 728 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: like outflowing and cooling gases will create these greens and 729 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: shoot them out into the universe. And that's cool, but 730 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: it can't explain all the dust that we see out there. 731 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: There's like not enough stars and not enough formation of 732 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: this dust to explain all the dust that's out there 733 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: in the universe, because, as we said earlier, the dust 734 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: doesn't survive forever. Right, the dust is like shattered by supernova. 735 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: So we have like stars pumping dust out in the universe, 736 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: supernova shattering right back in the gas. And that leaves 737 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: sort of a mystery because there's not enough being made 738 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: by the stars to explain all the stuff that we 739 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: see out there, all the dust in the milky. 740 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 4: Way I see. So like dust is sort of like 741 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 4: they're bigger molecules basically, right, they're like little tiny pebbles, 742 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 4: and inside of the stars they just burn up I guess, right, 743 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 4: because it's so hot and under so much pressure. 744 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why they're made. Like in the outer atmosphere, 745 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: the outflowing and cooling gases coalesced into these grains. If 746 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: that ever happened inside the star, that would just burn 747 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: up as fuel. 748 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, like the carbon and all the silicon. It's sort 749 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 4: of gassy within the sun, but once it gets out 750 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 4: of the sun, it tends to form into molecules and 751 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 4: maybe little clumps mm hmm. But then you're saying, like, 752 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 4: once it's out there, in space. Then if there's a supernova, 753 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 4: the supernova breaks it up back into carbon and silicon exactly. 754 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: So like the typical lifetime for a grain of dust, 755 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: it's like one hundred million years. It can float out there, 756 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: and then on average it's going to get shattered after 757 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: about one hundred million years, some longer, some shorter, but 758 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: on average one hundred million years. 759 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 4: There are that many supernovas happening to shatter. It does 760 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 4: so frequently. 761 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: There are not that many supernovas, but they're frequent enough 762 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: and powerful enough to shatter this cosmic dust. 763 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 4: So like on average, for any point in space, you 764 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 4: experience this shattering supernova every hundred million years. 765 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the supernova are more common than every hundred million years. 766 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: There's a supernova in our galaxy roughly every fifty years, 767 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: So in one hundred million years, you're going to get 768 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: two million supernova across the galaxy and they're very, very powerful. 769 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 1: So the modeling at least tells astronomers that these things 770 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: should be shattered on average within one hundred million years. 771 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 4: But the Earth has been around longer than that, and 772 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 4: have we experienced such as shattering supernova. 773 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: The Earth has been around much longer than that, but 774 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: it would take a very close by supernova to shatter 775 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: the Earth. These grains are more delicate than the Earth, 776 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: which has been like compressed. 777 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 4: Right, So like if there's a bit of dust circling 778 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 4: the Earth, it would get shattered by the supernova, but 779 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 4: not our atmosphere or us. 780 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, dust is more fragile, you know, it's floating out 781 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: there into space, is very low pressure. These things are 782 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: sort of fragile compared to life a rock on Earth, all. 783 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 4: Right, So then the mystery you're saying is like how 784 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,479 Speaker 4: it's made? 785 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,479 Speaker 1: Then, Yeah, the mystery is like why is there still 786 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: so much of it? There's a lot more cosmic dust 787 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: out there than can be explained by this combination of 788 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: stars producing it and then supernova's destroying it. There's a 789 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: lot more cosmic dust that can be explained by just 790 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: that process. 791 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 4: Maybe the unergy hasn't bought that neat device you have 792 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 4: to get rid of dust. 793 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: Well, one theory about what's going on is that cosmic 794 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: dust itself can reform out there between the stars. So 795 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: you take these little pebbles, these little grains, you send 796 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: them out there. They get shattered back into gas. But 797 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: there's like a tiny little seed left, you know, a 798 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: few molecules still cleaning together, and then those can accrete 799 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: because they're flowing through these molecular clouds which are super 800 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: duper cold, and basically because you have a few tiny 801 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: little grains left, they can like pick up more like 802 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: ice can form on these things, and you get these 803 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: layers that surround the original tiny core that rebuilds this 804 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: thing back up into what you would call dust. 805 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 4: I see, yeah, just reforms could because and also because 806 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 4: of gravity. I imagine, right, like even if you split 807 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 4: a little grain of dust out there, eventually gravity is 808 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 4: going to put it back together, isn't it. 809 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly? And you know that's the process that eventually 810 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 1: forms stars and plants, right, These little gravitational seeds gathered 811 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: together over very long periods, but it begins with gathering 812 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: little bits of ice here and there and reforming. And 813 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: so some of the cognic dust that's out there are 814 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: like og grains that came from their stars and haven't 815 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: been shattered, but most of it probably comes from this 816 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: process where they have been shattered and then they coalesce, 817 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: collecting ice and reforming into grains. 818 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 4: All right, Well, you mentioned that there are some things 819 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 4: called dust destroyers out there in space, and also mysterious 820 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 4: ways that dust is made, and so let's dig deeper 821 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 4: into those things. But first, let's take a quick break. 822 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: When you pop a piece of cheese into your mouth 823 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: or enjoy a rich spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably 824 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: not thinking about the environmental impact of each and every bite. 825 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: But the people in the dairy industry are. US Dairy 826 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: has set themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse 827 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 1: gas neutral by twenty fifty. That's why they're working hard 828 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: every day to find new ways to reduce waste, conserve 829 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 830 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four 831 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: times the same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes 832 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: the barn, and irrigates the crops. How is US Dairy 833 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,919 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases?

Because most 881 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 4: of the dust, if you just put dust out there 882 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 4: in space, within one hundred million years, some distant supernova's 883 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 4: shockwave is gonna shatter that back into its constituent atoms 884 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 4: like carbon and silogan. It doesn't seem that fragile here 885 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 4: on Earth, right, Like if I blow on dust, it 886 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 4: doesn't break up into carbon gas. 887 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're pretty tough, dude, But are you saying 888 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: that your breath is as powerful as a supernova? 889 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 4: Well, some mornings, yeah, But I mean, like it's weird 890 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 4: to think that it's so powerful because here on Earth 891 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 4: we don't feel these supernovas. But you're saying it's strong 892 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 4: enough to like split apart molecules in space. 893 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: The dust is more fragile than the Earth is. Yeah, 894 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: and it hasn't been a supernova in our Milky Way 895 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: in quite a few hundred years, so it's not like 896 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: we're feeling these things every ten years or so. Even 897 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: these supernovas are not that common. But yeah, the lifetime 898 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: of dust is shorter than the lifetime of the Earth, 899 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: so the Earth and planets and stars definitely survive these 900 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: super nova shock waves in ways that the stellar dust doesn't. 901 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 4: So then the mystery is, like, if it is being 902 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 4: destroyed out there in space, why is there still dust? 903 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 4: Why isn't it augies gas and individual atoms. 904 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: Exactly, And it's important that the dust is there because 905 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: the dust seeds planetary formation and star formation, you know, 906 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 1: in ways that we didn't always understand. Like back in 907 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: the seventies, before we really understood cosmic dust at all, 908 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: people thought that our solar system started just from gas, 909 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: that you could start from just like a blob of 910 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: hydrogen and helium and form all of this stuff, which 911 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense to me because then like where 912 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: you're getting all the iron and all the stuff to 913 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: make planets. But now it's very well understood that most 914 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: of the iron and most of the heavy metals are 915 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: bound up in these cosmic dust grains and you need 916 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: them to form solar systems with interesting bits on them, 917 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: like rocks and people. 918 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 4: So then are you saying that like just gravity, you know, 919 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 4: pulling all of this stuff out there floating in space 920 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 4: into dust is not enough to account for the dust 921 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 4: we're seeing. Well why not? 922 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: So just stellar production of dust isn't enough to account 923 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,919 Speaker 1: for the dust that we're seeing. You need some way 924 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,399 Speaker 1: to reform dust in the interstellar medium, Otherwise, as you say, 925 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: it would be just gas. But we think that these 926 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: little grains probably do gather back together from gravity and 927 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: from just secretion of ice crystals. As you pass through 928 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: a molecular cloud, there's gonna be chemical bonds that form 929 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: because these things are a little sticky, right, And so 930 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: that is a process that they think might explain where 931 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: the gas comes from. I talked to one scientist at 932 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: the University of Wasda in Japan who's super interested in 933 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: cosmic dust, and she said that this is like the 934 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: leading theory for how cosmic dust is being regenerated. But 935 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: nobody's like demonstrated this in the lab. They haven't done 936 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: tests where they take like a little grain and pass 937 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: it through a dust cloud and see this stuff reform. 938 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: It's alsort of like theoretical chemistry at this point. 939 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 4: Well, you need to replicate zero gravity, wouldn't. 940 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: You, Yeah, exactly. It's the kind of experiment you'd want 941 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: to do out in space or on the iss or something. 942 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 4: So then that's the best answer to this mystery. 943 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: That's the best answer to this mystery. 944 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 4: So it sounds like you're saying, like there's a giant 945 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 4: vacuum in space's gathering all this stuff dust. 946 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: Well you know again it's the supernova, right, those are 947 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: the dust stories shattering it back in to gas. And 948 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: then they think that it's probably reforming. But another really 949 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: fascinating way that they're trying to understand this process is 950 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: by trying to answer a related question, which is like 951 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: how early did dust form in the universe. So now 952 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: that we have like a super powerful infrared telescope, we 953 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: can look deeper into the history of the universe and 954 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: look for evidence of dust very very early on, like 955 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: what is the oldest dust that we can see in 956 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: the universe, And they'll give us a sense for these 957 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: processes because remember, like stars didn't turn on for a 958 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 1: few hundred million years, so the origin of the dust 959 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: can really tell us about like who is making this dust? 960 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 4: Right I think I mean like if you look out 961 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,240 Speaker 4: into deep space with your telescopes, you're looking back in time, 962 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 4: so like the light you're getting from those deep places 963 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 4: in the universe is really old light, which might be 964 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 4: old dust exactly. 965 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: And we think that most of the dust out there 966 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: in the universe right now is probably produced by these 967 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: super red giant stars and this asymptotic giant branch stars. 968 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: These special stars are super big and it just right 969 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,479 Speaker 1: conditions for this, like outflowing gas to cool and form 970 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: these little blobs which then flow down into space. But 971 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: the James Web Space Telescope recently saw a direct evidence 972 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,760 Speaker 1: for really really old grains of stars, like several hundred 973 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: million years or up to a billion years after the 974 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: Big Bang, too long ago for these stars, Like, we 975 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: don't think that there were these super red giant stars 976 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,879 Speaker 1: early on in the universe. So probably the first dust 977 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: made in the universe were made by supernova from the 978 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: first generation of stars. 979 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 4: Whoa wait, so how do we know we're looking at 980 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 4: does that old? 981 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: Because we're looking at images of galaxies that are super 982 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: duper far away, And so you can look at a 983 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: galaxy and you can understand from its red shift how 984 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,359 Speaker 1: fast it's moving away from us, and therefore how far 985 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: away it is, and therefore the age of the thing we're. 986 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 4: Looking at isn't most of that light coming from the 987 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 4: stars in the galaxy. 988 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, most of that light does come from the stars, 989 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: but we're looking at the infrared telescope and stars are 990 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: much quieter in the infrared, so we're seeing information from 991 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: the dust also. 992 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 4: Oh, I see, like we see the galaxy with regular 993 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 4: light and then we switch the filter over to infrared, 994 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 4: and then you're basically getting the light from the dust. 995 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: Exactly, and specifically, what they're seeing here is extinction, right, 996 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: They're seeing an absorption feature at a very specific wavelength 997 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: twenty one seventy five inkstrums that they think is like 998 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 1: a dust wavelength. That that's what dust absorbs. So they 999 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: see like a dip in the light in this galaxy 1000 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,439 Speaker 1: at just the right wavelength that tells them that there's 1001 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: dust in this very very old galaxy. 1002 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 4: Oh, because I guess the size of your thing affects 1003 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 4: what kind of light you're absorbing, right, because you kind 1004 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 4: of have to be at about the same size as 1005 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 4: the wavelength to absorb it exactly. 1006 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: Earlier we were talking about how dust absorbs. That's various frequencies. 1007 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: In general, the picture is that it interacts more with 1008 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: blue light. It reflects that blue light and it doesn't 1009 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: interact as much with reddor light because, as you say, 1010 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: it's too small, like the wavelength of light is bigger 1011 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,919 Speaker 1: than these dust grains, so it doesn't interact with them. 1012 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,280 Speaker 1: But also these things contain specific chemicals and sometimes little crystals, 1013 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: and those have features that absorb at certain wavelengths, like 1014 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: little oscillations and vibrational energy levels of these little crystals 1015 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: inside these dust grains will absorb at specific wavelengths that 1016 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 1: are known to be dust wavelengths. So they saw this 1017 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: in this signature from the James Web Space telescope from 1018 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: the super duper Ancient galaxy, a galaxy too old to 1019 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: hold any of these red giant stars or ASB stars. 1020 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 1: So they think probably this is ancient dust, maybe from 1021 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: the first round of generation of dust in the universe, 1022 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: probably from supernova. 1023 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 4: Like the first supernovas, right, because that's that's when the 1024 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 4: heavier elements are made. 1025 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: And it's fascinating because supernova make this stuff and then 1026 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: also destroy it, so they kind of like clean up 1027 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: after themselves. 1028 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 4: Right, Wait, how can it make them and destroy them 1029 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:50,879 Speaker 4: at the same time. 1030 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: These dust greens are made by supernovas sort of in 1031 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: the last dying minutes of a star's life, where you know, 1032 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: these shockwaves create really intense environments and specific isotopes, and 1033 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,800 Speaker 1: then the out flow and the cooling makes these grains. 1034 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: But then shockwaves from supernova's also destroy dust. Right, supernova 1035 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: are the dust destroyers of the universe, So they both 1036 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: create it and they also are responsible for destroying it. 1037 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 4: Which do they do first? Do they first clean up 1038 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 4: and then put a bunch of dust there or do 1039 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 4: they put a bunch of dust and then immediately destroyed 1040 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 4: It can't be the latter, can it, because then we 1041 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 4: wouldn't have any dust. 1042 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 1: It must be that the shockwave from the supernova travels 1043 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: out faster than dust grains, which means the first they're 1044 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: cleaning up and then they're making a mess. So I 1045 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: guess you're right. Actually it's in the wrong order. Or 1046 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: they're destroying the dust grains from other supernovas and to 1047 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: make space for their own. 1048 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 4: So they're not cleaning up after themselves. They're just cleaning 1049 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 4: it so that they can make a mess. 1050 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're sort of like scrubbing the graffiti off the 1051 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: wall and then writing their own name on it. 1052 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I take it back. 1053 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: I take it back. Everything positive, I said about. 1054 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 4: Supernovas, well, they're the reason we're here. So glad they 1055 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 4: haven't wiped us off, I guess, and we're glad that 1056 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 4: they made us all right, Well, what does it all 1057 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 4: mean about our understanding of the history of the universe. 1058 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: It means that all these processes, the ones that form stars, 1059 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: that lead to supernovas, that lead to dust creation and 1060 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: dust destruction, it's all part of this huge cosmic dance. 1061 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: You know. We tend to think of the Milky Way 1062 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: as like done, We've made all these stars. They're just 1063 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 1: sort of like hanging out and burning now. But it's 1064 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: a process, you know, and everything is connected as like 1065 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 1: dust flowing and swirling. These things are being created, they're 1066 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: being destroyed, they're being reformed. The whole thing is a big, frothing, active, 1067 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: lively mess of processes, all of which are important to 1068 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: creating the universe as we know it. 1069 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it sounds kind of precarious, right, Like, basically, 1070 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 4: we need a supernova to make all this dust, and 1071 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 4: we need the dust to basically clump together into planets 1072 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 4: and stars quickly before the next supernova tries to wipe 1073 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 4: the board clean, right, Like if another supernova had gone 1074 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 4: off near us, or not even neuros, but around us. 1075 00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 4: Before the Sun, you know, got put together and the 1076 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 4: Earth got put together, we might not be here. Is 1077 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 4: that true? 1078 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: It definitely would have affected things, but it's not something 1079 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: we understand very well. And supernovas contribute in lots of 1080 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: different ways. Like first of all, they destroy these grains, 1081 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: but then later on a supernova shockwave can actually precipitate 1082 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: the gravitational collapse of surviving grains into a new star. 1083 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 1: So supernova shockwaves play lots of different complex roles. And 1084 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,919 Speaker 1: to say like that we even understand this story would 1085 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 1: be to overstate it. For sure, there's a lot of 1086 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: parts of this that we still don't understand. What we 1087 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: do know is that it's complicated and everything is connected. 1088 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 4: Sounds like our knowledge of it is a little dust. 1089 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: There's definitely a lot of ancient wisdom out there we 1090 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: haven't yet collected, and we can look forward to blowing 1091 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: the dust off of all of these secrets. 1092 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 4: But not too hard, because then you might destroy the dust. 1093 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 1: Right, only if you have supernova morning breath. 1094 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 4: All right, I guess the next time you look at 1095 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 4: into the nice sky, I know that you're looking at 1096 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 4: a bunch of dust as well, not just the beautiful 1097 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 4: twinkling stars. 1098 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 1: These tiny but mighty grains play an important role in 1099 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: the formation of the solar system, in helping us understand 1100 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: what's out there, and also in blocking our view of 1101 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 1: part of the glorious cosmos. 1102 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,919 Speaker 4: You hope you enjoyed that.
