1 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm and I'm Daniel. Welcome to our podcast, Daniel 2 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: and Jorge Explain the Universe, a production of I Heart 3 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: Radio in which we take the entire universe, slice it 4 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: up into little pieces, and explain every single one to you, 5 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: one at a time. We answer all of your deep 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: and amazing questions about this incredible universe, and we try 7 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that you come away understanding something so 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: you can sound smart at the next cocktail party you 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: go to with a bunch of physicists. Today, we have 10 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: a special episode. We're going to be once again answering 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: listener questions, but not your normal listeners, not your everyday listeners. 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: That's right. There's a twist today. Today we have special 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: listener guests. That's our Today we have the host of 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: the podcast, the Daily Site, guys Miles and Jack here, 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be answering their questions about out the universe, 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: about planets, about quantum machine guns. That's right. Usually these 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: guys are talking about the daily events of what's going 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: on in the world we should care about, but they 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: also think deeply about the universe. So they were here 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: to talk to us about deep questions about the universe. 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: Very deeply record scratch. It's just stopped in. This is 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Jack sound oh sorry, and this is Miles. This is 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: what this is my voice. Much so welcome Jack and Miles. 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Thank you thanks for having us. Yeah, so tell us 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about your podcast Where can people You know, 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: it's like it's like a woke morning show. You know 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: what I mean, you wake up, we'll give you the 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: best news we have. It's Jack and I and a 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: comedian and we just run down the top stories. Uh. 30 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: I have a background in politics, so i'll you know, 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: talk like I know what I'm talking about. Uh, And 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: then Jack does the funny stuff. Every other every other 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: morning show is a sleeping morning problems. That is the 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: only our only excuse for people expressive. Yeah. But I 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: started the website cracked dot com and I've been doing 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: this for the past year and a half with Miles. Wow, 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: it's a good time. Yeah, pretty cool. So do you 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: guys cover science topics as well? When you talk about 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: the daily we do. If there's something like I think 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: that's important to humanity or funny, so we'll talk about like, 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, the biomass, like insect biomass just decreasing at 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: an alarming rate. But we don't typically get into super 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: heavy stuff because like, if it's like gravitational waves territory, 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, as long as Miles can see it, he 45 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: believes it exists, exactly. So I don't believe in germs 46 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: or dinosaurs. So do you believe in scientology because I 47 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: can see that building. You know, I believe it. We 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: are you're talking to at six operating sex right now. 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: I believe it exists, right, yeah, And then you're gonna 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: have to explain the universe of scientology to me someday. 51 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you have a moment because I just 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: feeling clear? Actually yeah, great, great, I mean I feel 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: like I guess Zeno does have a lot to offer us, 54 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: but I think this maybe for another show. Yeah. Yeah, 55 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: that's a different universe exactly right. But there are aliens involved, right, 56 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: aren't there aliens? Yes, don't be patronizing. There are many aliens, 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: but in many different volcanoes we talked about, right, Oh yeah, 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: we did, because I think and the that Navy footage 59 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: where they said they found like an unidentified yeah, that 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: flying object, unidentified flying tic tach, did you say that's 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: interest in aliens is never pagonizing it's totally a great 62 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: do you that sounded? Yeah? So yeah, my claims about 63 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: not being sarcastic are since here. Okay, but what do 64 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: you think what did you see that video of that 65 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: tic tac? What did you what do you think that was? 66 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: I think it's something crazy we don't understand, but it 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: is something. It's something that was something something. Okay, definitely 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: not nothing. I figure it's just something like a technology 69 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: we're not familiar with. Yeah, it could be. It doesn't 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: have to be like extraterrestrial or weird under not understood. 71 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: You're talking from you know, the Navy pipe like that 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: like fighter pilot footage of how they saw that thing 73 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: just like rotating and then like inexplicably accelerating in different 74 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: directions that it was different. Yeah, And the Pentagon released 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: it like at the end of last year or the 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: year before. That wasn't just special effects. No, the Pentagon 77 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: was like, all right, we'll declassify this video if you 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: guys want to see it. Yeah. Yeah. Pentagon is crowdsourcing 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: its intelligence Internet, Yeah, to help us this out there, 80 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: Like this is why we invented the Internet. Source are 81 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: intelligence exactly to capture the intelligence of the genius of 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: the crowds. Cool, well as you guys talk about the 83 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: daily culture and the dailies, guys of of the humanity 84 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. Yeah, and I imagine sometimes you 85 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: must have questions about the universe, about space, about the 86 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: role that humans and our cultures have it it um, 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: and so do they. You guys have three questions. We're 88 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: gonna try to run through them in an episode today, 89 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: and they're about plant information and quantum machines, guns, machines, guns, 90 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: and machine guns. Yeah. I wasn't sure if it was 91 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: a quantum machine gun or a quantum machine gun, a 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: gun that shoots understanding quantum mechanics into your brain. Yeah, 93 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: I think I have a more simple questions. And then 94 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Jack is the one about quantum leap or whatever, quantum back. Yeah, 95 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: let's after all, Yes, it's almost definitely all right. So 96 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: where should we start? Oh, let's just let's go nice 97 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: and easy. Yeah. I get most of my scientific questions 98 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: from the Jiza. And there's a song called Fourth Chamber 99 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: that asked the question why is the sky blue? Why 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: is water wet? The second question doesn't make any sense 101 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: to me, but the first one I have always been curious, 102 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: why is the sky blue? I love that question? Why 103 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: is water wet? Actually it's like a really interesting deep Yeah, 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: is just too much for my brain to hold. You 105 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: know that song particle many particle man. Yeah, when he's underwater, 106 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: does he get wet or does the water get instead? 107 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 1: Deep stuff? Yeah? Mine that I guess like as a child, 108 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Is the version that I understand the 109 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: sky to be blue true, which is like because the 110 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: ocean is that? It s almost it's kind of like 111 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: a wet wet and water say this ocean is blue 112 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: sort of because the sky is blue, isn't it? Daniel, 113 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm not the scientist. Oh there are those, so short 114 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: answer is the sky is blue, but not because the 115 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: ocean is blue. Okay, but you're not You're not alone 116 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: in that thought. I walked around campus that you see 117 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: Irvine is today and I asked a bunch of people, 118 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: why is the sky blue? Is that how scientists figure 119 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: things out? Crowd around was down, so you got a 120 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: second professor. Three out of four people, I mean I 121 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: asked more than four people, but three fourth of them 122 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: said because the ocean, right, that's I think the misinformation 123 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: we're given, like when your parents are like, so what 124 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: was your thinking that the ocean is blue? And so 125 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: somehow that's making the skuy? I don't know. And it's 126 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: just like if something. I never really bothered to think 127 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: through that because half the time when I look at 128 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: those and like that ain't blue or whatever. If you're 129 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: in the desert, like a thousand miles of sands around you, 130 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: the sky is still blue exactly. See, like a jealousy 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: thing like this guy was like, oh I like that color, right, 132 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: I'll put on my blue. They're always fighting, so drop 133 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: some science, all right, So why is this guy blue? 134 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: Well to answer the question why is anything any color, 135 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: you have to think for a moment about what that 136 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: means to have color, right, And I think there's a 137 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: basic misperception like, um, you know light has lots of 138 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: colors in it, right, And if something is painted blue, 139 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: for example, that doesn't mean that it absorbs blue light. 140 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: It's not like sucking in the blueness and is blue. 141 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: It's reflecting blue light. Right. So if something like this 142 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: cleanex blocks in front of me is blue, it means 143 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: that the paint on it reflects blue light and it's 144 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: absorbing all the other colors. Yeah, it sucks in all 145 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: the other colors. That's why black things get really hot 146 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: and white things don't, because they're youncing all the light back. 147 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: And I know this because the interior of my prelude 148 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: was jet black, and in the bat hot l a heat, 149 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: I would burn myself on the inside of the car. 150 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: And that's why jet eyes and whatever I'm tattooing, we're 151 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: all white to reflect the sunlight. Yeah, all right, so 152 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: the sky must be blue because it's reflecting blue light, right, 153 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: And in fact that's true. The atmosphere when the light 154 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: comes from the sun, the sun light from the sun 155 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: is mostly is white. Is a big mix of colors. 156 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: Actually it's a tiny big green, but it's mostly white light. 157 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: We looked at the sun in space, it would be white. Um. 158 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: Don't look at the sun though directly. When astronauts are 159 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: out there, do they have to avert their eyes or 160 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: do they have like sunglasses the sun visor? Yeah, um, 161 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a great question. I imagine NASA 162 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: sends them up there with sunglasses. That's because a blinded 163 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: astronaut would be a bad or. The astronauts are just 164 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: smart enough to not look at the sun. And then 165 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: that's how they got to be an astronaut. The sun's big, 166 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: got to be hard, and this is why you didn't 167 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: get into an assag every day. Yeah, how long do 168 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: I get to look at the sun? Is that why 169 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: you have an eye patch right now? That it Yeah, 170 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: that was from the eclipse. Told them don't use those binoculars. Alright. 171 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: So we got white light hitting the atmosphere right, and um, 172 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: when when the light hits the atmosphere, you've got the 173 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: different colors, and the blue light is the one that 174 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: wiggles the most. It's got the highest energy. And so 175 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, light is a wave and it wiggles. So 176 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: the red light wiggles really slowly and the blue light 177 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: wiggles really fast. And the blue light bounces off the 178 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: atmosphere more than the red light does. Like little particles 179 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: in the atmosphere when the blue light hits them, they 180 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: get bounced. It's it's kind of like it's a scattering, right, 181 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't like bounce off back into space. It's sort 182 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: of like the atmosphere. And then it makes basically glows, right, 183 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: it makes the atmosphere glow blue. That kind of datia. Yeah, 184 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I think of it more like it gets reflected. Like, Um, 185 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: so you're looking up at the sky. You're not looking 186 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: at the sun, right, Why is there light coming from 187 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: that part at all? It's because it got reflected. So 188 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: light from the sun hit that part of the atmosphere 189 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: and then comes to your eyes. What part of that 190 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: light hits your eyes the part that got reflected, which 191 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: is the blue light. Just like if you're looking at 192 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: a blue wall, it's not glowing right, So it doesn't 193 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: produce lights, only reflecting light. It's reflecting the blue light 194 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,359 Speaker 1: only right. Atmosphere is the same way. So the atmosphere 195 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: reflects the blue light, which is why it looks blue. 196 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: So why does it only reflect the blue and not 197 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: the other colors? Yeah, because the blue light wiggles more, 198 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: and the atmosphere is made of these little tiny particles, 199 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: and and the little tiny particles are better at reflecting 200 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: things that wiggle more because the wiggles are shorter. And 201 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: so imagine, for example, you're like walking across the field 202 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: filled with rocks. Right, if the box are really really big, 203 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get bounced around. It's gonna be a 204 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: big obstacle. The rocks are really really tiny, like you're 205 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: walking across the beach. You don't even really notice. So 206 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: the blue light sees like really big rocks because it 207 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: wiggles more it's tiny, and so it gets bounced off 208 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: with them. The red light just like skips over them, 209 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: like walking over the same surface. Over the atmosphere, Yeah exactly. 210 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: So red light mostly goes through straight through air. What 211 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: blue light gets bounced, which is why you see in 212 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: the blue light in your eyes when you're looking up 213 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: at this guy. So it's about the size of the 214 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: atoms up in the atmosphere. It's not like a quantum 215 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: electron level kind of thing. No, it's basically about the 216 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: relative sizes of the wiggles and the light and the atmosphere. 217 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: But you know, bigger stuff reflects all light light, which 218 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: is why most powders are white, right, Because the particles 219 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: of the powder are pretty big, so they reflect everything. 220 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: But the atmospheric particles are much much smaller than the 221 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: powder you might have in your nine prelude, for example, 222 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: sugar and salt, the powdered sugar in the in the 223 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: seat of your the back seat of your old car. 224 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Um, And so that's why the sky right, 225 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: because it reflects blue light. It also explains why, for example, 226 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: sunsets are not blue. Right, How does that explain it? 227 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: It's the same atmosphere, right, It's I understand it. But 228 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: when we were I mean, I'm just trying to see, 229 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: if you know, Daniel, So, yeah, why is the sky 230 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: so um? So? If you so, if you look at 231 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: the atmosphere, you're seeing reflected light. If you look directly 232 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: of the sun, don't do that. But if you were to, 233 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: you'd be seeing light directly from the sun. We're all 234 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: the blue is removed, right, because the blue light that 235 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: comes to you directly from the sun gets bounced away, 236 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: So you're seeing the redd or or the yellower side 237 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: of the spectrum. Right, So the blue is removed and 238 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: somewhere else and you see the yellows, the red, the oranges. 239 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: That's why the sun looks yellow in the sky. Right. 240 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: The sun isn't yellow, it's white, but it looks yellow 241 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: in the sky through the filter of the at exactly 242 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: the atmosphere. And now it's sunset, you're looking through a 243 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: lot more atmosphere because the sun is low in the sky, 244 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 1: so doesn't just come through a little bit of atmosphere. 245 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: It skims along through a lot of atmosphere, so it 246 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: gets like yellow wer so yellow, it looks orange and 247 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: red and darker and darker. Oh so as like a 248 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: sphere like versus just hitting it straight on, because it's 249 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: like that, you're getting this curvature, this slice that gets 250 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: way more atmospheres, You get more, more and more blue 251 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: light gets filtered out, and then you get just the 252 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: red light left. But the whole sky turns pink, or 253 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: at least half of the sky turns pink. Yeah, that's 254 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: mostly because of smog. That's because we live in l A. 255 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: If the sky was perfectly clear, right then the sunset 256 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: would look more yellow and mostly just around the sun. 257 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: But then that light, that yellowy red light whatever, bounces 258 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: off of particles in the atmosphere or smog whatever, and 259 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: that clouds and that's what gives you the beautiful sunset. 260 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: But the color comes from all the blue getting filtered 261 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: out by the atmosphere. Does being closer to the equator 262 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: effect the beauty of the sunset, because I think of 263 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: like like tropical places that have amazing sunse there there 264 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 1: really isn't that much pollution or this I feel like 265 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: the smog is influencing a color of the sunset. So 266 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm curious if that you could probably just in a 267 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: better mood if you're you're like, oh my god, that's 268 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: the best sunset ever, and the locals are like, what 269 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: cocktails make the sunset better? That's a physics physical effect 270 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: for it. Also be the haze, like water vapor will 271 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: do that also, gotcha, there's probably more equation at the equation. Wow, 272 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: you've embarrassed yourself. Let's talk quantum machine guns. Wow, I'm 273 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: just hosting a podcast. But first let's take a quick break. 274 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: All right, moving on, Jack, what is your question today? 275 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: My question is I would love to hear from like 276 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: your how your brain and explaining the quantum machine gun theory, 277 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: because it's hard for me to get my simple brain. Yes, 278 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: Jack tried when we were talking about this. He tried 279 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: to explain it, and I actually just walked away because 280 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: I did not understand the single thing he was trying 281 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: to say. I have a question about your question that 282 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: why are you so fascinated by quantum machine guns? Are 283 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: you looking at build one? Are you think about purchasing 284 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: one in eBay? And you want to know if it's 285 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: real or what's the situation. I mean, it's a very 286 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: so I was a philosophy major and it's like a 287 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: very philosophical I don't know what like it's worth. You 288 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: can't say I was a philosophy major. I became a 289 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: philosophy major. That's a philosophic question question in itself. And 290 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: it's like that it gets into you know, multiverse and 291 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: all those different things, which it would seem to me 292 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: would affect just the entire metaphysical reality of of the world. 293 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: So that's why it interests me, like if if it 294 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: is real and not just a thought experiment, it would 295 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: seem to be like a a existence of shaping thing. 296 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: I guess, all right, well, what you can explain what 297 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: it is? And then what is he talking about? What 298 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: is it? What is it? Quantum machine gun? Quantum machine 299 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: done is like a variation on the Schrodinger's catecorum experiment 300 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: that from Silicon Valley. Okay, Hollywood is entertaining and educating, awesome. 301 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: So the idea there is put something like a particle 302 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: that's decaying. We don't know how long it's going to 303 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: take the decay. Put it in a box and then 304 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: when the particle decays, it kills the cats, amount releases 305 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: poison or something, and then you can ask the question, 306 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: is the cat dead or is the kind of live? 307 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: It's inside the box. You can't see it, right, It's 308 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: just determined by what that quantum random particle does. And 309 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: so the idea is you put the particle in the 310 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: box and you don't know whether or not it is 311 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: decay aid, which you know has consequences for the cat, 312 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: and so because you don't know, then you say things 313 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: like it's both dead and alive because as a probability 314 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: to be both. Okay, So that's the shorting, right, because 315 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: the particle is both doing but doing both things at 316 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: the same time, and so if the cat's life depends 317 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: on the particle, then the cats must be also dead 318 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: and alive at the same time. That's right. And that's 319 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: that's actually the heart of the question, which the machine 320 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: gun example probes also is what's going on with quantum mechanics, 321 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: Like if a particle can do A or B has 322 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: probability to do A and B, is it both A 323 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: and B before you've looked, or has it chosen one 324 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: or has the universe split into one? Universe where the 325 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: particle has done a one universe where the particles done 326 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: b That seems like this explanation obviously, right, Let's just 327 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: create a whole new universe every time. Max Tegmark took 328 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: this to the next level and he said, let's not 329 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: put cats at risk. Let's put ourselves at risk. He said, 330 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: let's put um Let's build a machine gun where the 331 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: machine gun fires based on what a particle does. So 332 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: a particle can can be spin up or spin down 333 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: with equal probability. It's like a coin flip, right, And 334 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: if every time you press the trigger on the machine gun, 335 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: it asks the particle, are you spin up? Are you 336 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: spin down? It's been up, it shoots. If it's been down, 337 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't. It's like the particles in charge of the 338 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: safety switch the gun. You pull it, you pull the trigger, 339 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: but the particle, if it's doing one thing, they'll let 340 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: you shoot. If it's doing the other thing, it won't 341 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: let you shoot. It's a little like Russian roulette, right, 342 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: Russian roulette. You you know, put three bullets in a 343 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: six chamber gun or whatever, you spin it, you have 344 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: a fifty chance of dying. Right. The problem with the 345 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: Russian roulette is it's determined once you put them in 346 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: there and you spin it, it's either going to be 347 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: a bullet or an envy chamber. It's fixed. Right. With 348 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: a quantum machine gun, it's supposed to be truly random, 349 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: like the universe is really random. So when you press 350 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: the button, Max Tegmark says, the universe splits into two 351 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: one where it shoots a bullet and one where it 352 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: doesn't shoot a bullet. And that's the crazy thing is imagining, 353 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: Like the universe is splitting into two universes. So the 354 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: thought experiment is like you go in real sure the 355 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: Inger's box. Would you take out the cat? You put 356 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: yourself in and you see what happens. Yeah, but it's 357 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: more than that, he says, Now build the gun pointed 358 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: at yourself and keep pressing the button. What will you hear? 359 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: And his point is you will only hear click click, 360 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: click click. You will never hear the gun go off, 361 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: which you would think would be a one and a 362 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: billion uh probability, right, because if you're multiplying by and 363 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: it gets more and more unlikely that you're not gonna 364 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: hear the gun go off. But why does it have 365 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: to be life or death, though you can just be 366 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: a light, and yeah, that's true. People have to do 367 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: with I mean, if it was just a light, it 368 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't you wouldn't cease to exist, right, And the idea 369 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: is that in there there are nine other like if 370 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: it's a one thousand things, there are nine other branches 371 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: of reality and probability where you did die. But because 372 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: you're you only exist because you are your experience, then 373 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: you are only in the one branch that where it 374 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: didn't go off. Essentially, there's always one one version of 375 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: the universe and which it doesn't go off no matter 376 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: how many times you click. You click a million times, 377 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: there's some probability for it to never kill you. And 378 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: there's somebody who pressed it a million times and had 379 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: that experience. There's some version of the universe in which 380 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: that happened. So that guy is the only one who's 381 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: still awake. And he says, you know, you only ever 382 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: hear clicks. I think you hear a bunch of clicks 383 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: and then eventually you hear a boom. Right, But there's 384 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: there's some version of you that can do as many 385 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: clicks as you want. Right. They seem they both both 386 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: Schrodinger's cat and quantum machine gun theories seem like really 387 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: good ways for you to make physicists who believe in 388 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: the more diverse like realize that they don't actually believe. Okay, 389 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: you believe that here, do this thing, and if you 390 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: truly believe in it thing, you'll never die, right because 391 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: and I think that was what Schroedeger's cat was originally 392 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: designed to like illustrate the absurdity of quantum theory, like 393 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: how can a cat be alive? And right? Yeah, exactly 394 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: do you think is that true? Was that example that 395 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: Max Techmark come up with this example to, like, you know, 396 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: kind of puts physicist on the spot. I think he 397 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: probably came up with his example to sell his book, 398 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: which I think went pretty well for him and didn't 399 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: sell it at the same time. In some universe, it's 400 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: the best summer universe is a warehouse full of it. 401 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: But you're the philosopher. Tell me, do you think there's 402 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: another universe out there where you you know, it's something else? 403 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: This morning a different kind of cereal. I think it's 404 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: as good as anything I've come up with on my end, 405 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: or anything I've had a high ball or a low. 406 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: Not very good, yeah, very very low. Bar No. I 407 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: think it's just a really interesting way to think about things. 408 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: I don't think you necessarily want to think about it 409 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: if it's think about it that way, if it's going 410 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: to make you behave recklessly, if you're gonna be like 411 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: I'm invincible, like driving down, don't die. But well, basically, right, 412 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: that's that's the conclusion of the experiment, is that if 413 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: you're still healing here in the click, you must be 414 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: in the one universe, however improbable, where where it's like 415 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: running back and forth across the freeway. Right version of 416 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: you survives that for an hour, and you survives it 417 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: for a day as a version gets splat immediately, right, Yeah, 418 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: but you are don't do any of these things because 419 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: I mean, the reason that they design it where the 420 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: gun goes off based on a quantum coin flip, is 421 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: because that's really the only truly like random thing. So 422 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you're still on a chain of probability where 423 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: some thing is or isn't going to happen unless you are. 424 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: Existence is being determined by a quantum coin flip, which 425 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: still blows my mind. I mean, I think I understand 426 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: quantum mechanics as well as I'm ever going to. But 427 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: I still don't understand how something can be truly random, 428 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: Like there has to be some mechanism in the universe 429 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: that's producing random numbers. There's like some What does it 430 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: mean to be truly random and not truly random? What's 431 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: the difference? Well, truly random means not predictable, right, not repeatable, 432 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't depend anything, doesn't Well, it can depend on something, 433 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: it can be influenced by it. But you have a 434 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: distribution where the random draw is not repeatable, not determined 435 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: by the initial conditions. Right, It's not a true magical box. 436 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Not magical. It's physics, man. Physics is indistinguishable from that. 437 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's que what you're saying, Like if we 438 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: have magic, I mean, like violating the laws of physics 439 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: is impossible, that would be like Lord of the Rinks 440 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: man magic. But if you were to call that quantum 441 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: nugget there that can give you anything at any given time, 442 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: you might you might use the word magic, wouldn't you. 443 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: I think you might use the word magic. Yeah, yea yeah. 444 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: I think there's a physics we understand and physics we 445 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: don't yet understand, right, You can call that magic if 446 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: you like, or you can call it, you know, science 447 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: fiction or whatever. But wait, so what's the other form 448 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: of randomness if it because you said truly random, there's 449 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: there's really only truly random and earnest pseudo random, like 450 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: your computer can generate random numbers, but do not actually random. 451 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: Like you ask computer, give me a series of random numbers, 452 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: it will give you the same series every time, so 453 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: it's not really random. Or it's going through an algorithm 454 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: that someone's created, and it's algorithm for choosing things, which 455 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, spread the numbers out basically, but it's not 456 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: actually random. You can be the same you just ask 457 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: the same computer the same question. It will give you 458 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: the same string of random numbers. Right. Or even throwing 459 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: a die is not truly random, right because you can 460 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: trace the result back to some something you did way back. 461 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: That's right, Like whether you have decided to put a 462 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: rabbit foot in your pocket or not? Right, magic physics, 463 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: you skipped your scientology meeting or not. I don't skip. 464 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: It's going to get downgraded. No, you're right, it's not random. 465 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: It's chaotic, right, difficult to predict. So it's a good 466 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 1: proxy for randomness, right, but it is totally determined by 467 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: how you roll the die. You roll the die the 468 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: same way every time, you're gonna get exactly the same answer. 469 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: It's impossible to do, which is why it's a good 470 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: proxy for randomness. But yeah, quantumic Hanks is the only 471 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: true randomness in the universe that we know of, and 472 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: it seems random because we just can't explain it yet, right, 473 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: although there are experiments they have done that basically proved 474 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: that it's random, that it's completely and it's completely random. Yeah, 475 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: there are these crazy experiments that are really subtle. They're 476 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: called It's about Bills inequality, these correlations between particles where 477 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: they prove that it can't be determined by the initial conditions, 478 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: that has to be actually random, which is pretty mind 479 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: blowing something. We asked your question, Jack do we um. Yeah, 480 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: that was that was that actually was a much better explanation. 481 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, I it's it's so interesting, like multiverse 482 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: theory just in general, so like to even think that 483 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: there are other questions delving into that is just like 484 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: another splitting my brain in nine directions. Again, Well, I 485 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: think the multiverse is bonkers. I mean, that's not a 486 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: scientific point of that's philosophical boys. So you can say 487 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: bonkers and crazy, but you can't see magic. No magic 488 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: is not allowed. Bonkers, they're going to bleep that work. 489 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: And I don't mean bonker is in a negative way, 490 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: Like the universe is bonkers. I mean like the crazy 491 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: stuff we talk about on our show, like you know, 492 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: how do you wrap your head around it? Huge spinning 493 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: stars and black holes and all that stuff is bonkers 494 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: even if it's real. Right, But the multiverse is like 495 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: extra bonkers because imagining like extra universe is being created 496 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: all this stuff. I just don't I can't. I don't 497 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: know where to put that in my head. A version 498 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: where you are on our show, Jack and Miles explaining 499 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: that's it. I really want to want to be a 500 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: very different kind of universe. Well, um, we we do 501 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: have a whole episode about the multiverse, and the whole 502 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: episode about quantum randomness. Magic, No bonkers, quantum bonkers. I've 503 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: never heard of a game called physics the gathering that 504 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 1: sounds like there's nothing on all the cards. How do 505 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: I know I'm winning? All right, So let's get to 506 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: your last question about But first, let's take our last 507 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: break of the episode. Alright, Miles, you have one last 508 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: question for Yes, and it's a it's and it's an 509 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: epic and scale, it's planetarry and scale, it's planetary. Yes, 510 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: it's gigantic. It's probably probably the best question you've ever 511 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: been asked at. Yeah, this is some real magic stuff. 512 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with. Yeah, I gotta do some 513 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: stretches here. Yeah, it was incredible. He just put his 514 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: leg behind his head hanging from the ceiling. You wish 515 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: this was the TV show? Right? Oh? I do? Um. 516 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: You know, I I love space and I like uh 517 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: the soldiers like crows. Yeah, I love space. I'm still 518 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: on my Space. Actually, I don't use Facebook anything. Space 519 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: that even on my keyboard gigantic space bar it overtakes 520 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the keys. Um. But you know, just 521 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: planetary formation is just another not necessarily philosophical thing because 522 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: that's a physical, uh phenomenon. I'm just curious because once 523 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: I started reading about the Juno probe that's going around Jupiter. Uh, 524 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: there were some people I spoke with who worked at 525 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: JPL who were sort of saying, like, Jupiter has a 526 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: lot of seek grits, or it will give us a 527 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: better understanding of planetary formation in this Solar system. And 528 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm sort of like, well, why don't we why can't 529 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: we look at like Earth or whatever. So I'm just 530 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: sort of like that got me thinking, like, wow, it's 531 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: interesting to think they say, if we look at planetary 532 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: planetary formation is like a cookbook, We're only seeing the 533 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: finished product, right of everything being cooked or baked or whatever. 534 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: The end thing is is like but with understanding Jupiter 535 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: will begin to understand the recipe and that they want system, 536 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: yeah or whatever. But I just but it's interesting to 537 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: even think, you know, because we live on this physical 538 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: or Earth what what you know? What went down really 539 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: was the magic And you said you were a JPL 540 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: when you you got interested in Yeah, yeah, because I 541 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: at the at the time, I just knew that this 542 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: was like a very novel, like just a very important experiment. 543 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: This probe was going out and it was like months 544 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: before the first sets of data we're going to be 545 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: sent back, and everyone was just so like this is man, 546 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: like we really this is the thing, Like Jupiter really 547 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: is going to help us understand so much, so many 548 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: other things like weather and all these other things. So 549 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: it was just so interesting to me that there was 550 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: this this planet out there that if we can study 551 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: a bit more like it's gonna it could potentially help 552 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: us understand many other things that we experienced. So that's 553 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: why I'm like, Okay, yeah, I guess planetary formation is 554 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: is a lot more in depth than merely saying, hey, 555 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: we're here on Earth. You know, some stuff started swirling 556 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: around each other, got dense, and then boom. Yeah, well 557 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: that basically answers the question and density swirling, boom, planet 558 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: really got to planet. There's the recipe. Yeah, I think 559 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: that's really interesting question. I think it touches on something 560 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: which is like deep in everybody, which is we want 561 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: to understand our history, what went down, how did this 562 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: come about? And is this unusual? Like are there other 563 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: solar systems out there that have Earth's or is it 564 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: all jupiters? Is there a solarist method that's just like 565 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: all Uranus for example, or all Saturn's or something. Um. Yeah, 566 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: So it's pretty interesting stuff. And you know, the planets. 567 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: I think one of the interesting things that about that 568 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: is that the planets are formed about the same time 569 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: as the star. Right. The whole thing is basically a 570 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: big mix. You start with a big cloud of like 571 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: gas and dust and and other stuff that comes from 572 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, other stars that blew up, and so you 573 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: like rubble out there in space, and then gravity gradually 574 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: pulls it together and most of the gas gets sucked 575 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: towards the center. So you get this huge star in 576 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: the middle of right, and then the leftover is just 577 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: sort of swirling around it. Right, Well, why does the 578 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: gas come in first? Why does the gas come in first? 579 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: It all sort of happens at once, But the gas 580 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: is light, and so it gets pulled in towards the center. Yeah, 581 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: and it rushes in faster, I guess because it's it's gas. 582 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: Well I think it's equally distributed. But the gas gets 583 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: sucked in towards the center faster than like the rocks 584 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: and stuff. So you end up with like a lot 585 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: of gas at the center, which becomes a star, and 586 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: then you get like, you know, where the gas was 587 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: pulled away, You get rocks which trying into like rocky planets, 588 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: and then the outer part you have still have gas 589 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: and ice and stuff left over, which is why you 590 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: get like big gas ants. Oh god, OK, So Jupiter 591 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: is like mostly hydrogen and water and that kind of stuff, 592 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: whereas Earth is not as mostly rock, right, But basically 593 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: it's just gravity, right. Gravity. It takes you a long time, 594 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: but gravity sucks this stuff together. You get a big 595 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: star and the stuff that's orbiting around it um gradually 596 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: gathers together, right, So it bounces into each other and 597 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: and you know, gravity sticks them together and just sort 598 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: of gradually pulls everything together, as you said, like density, 599 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: boom boom. Right. I guess the question is why doesn't 600 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: why why do we have planets at all? Why is 601 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: and why isn't the Solar System just a star? Why 602 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: doesn't everything just get sucked into the middle? Or why 603 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: aren't planets just asteroid belts? Yeah? Okay, so there's two 604 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: different answers there. Why do we have planets at all? Right? 605 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: Why didn't everything just gets sucked into like one black 606 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: hole or one star? Right? Well, there's some things keeping 607 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: things from falling into the center, right, And that's just 608 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: enough spinning. Right, So the whole blob when it started 609 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: was spinning already, and that spinning can't go away right 610 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: as angular momentum. It can't have to be conserved. You 611 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: can't just you can't just stop spinning. It's it's not 612 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: rubbing against anything to slow it down. It's just it's 613 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: in space, so it just keeps on spinning. Somehow, you 614 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: made that sound inappropriate. I mean, I would have preferred 615 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: frictionless environments. It was just weird that you are waggling 616 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: your eyebrows on my shirt. Yeah, the Sun does have 617 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: a history of rubbing inappropriately against things. Yes, no, it's yeah, 618 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: it's out there in space and there's nothing to slow down. 619 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: There's no friction, nothing to to grab onto it, so 620 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: it's going to keep spinning forever. And so the stuff 621 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: is moving and it ends up in orbit. Right. It's 622 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: like asking why doesn't the Moon fall to the Earth 623 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: Because it's moving so fast that it doesn't fall. That 624 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: keeps going around the Earth instead of falling the same 625 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: way the Earth is. And the stuff that made the 626 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: Earth is not going to fall into the Sun because 627 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: it's moving fast enough and it comes from that initial rotation. 628 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: Oh I see, So even though we get the Sun, 629 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: there's still stuff out there spinning around. It doesn't want 630 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: to fall into the Sun. Yeah, exactly, it's moving too 631 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: fast fall into the center. So it's too good to 632 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: be the Sun. It doesn't want to r up against 633 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: the Sun. Right, But why why does it form at 634 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: the planets? Like, like Jack said, some of someone just 635 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: stays as asteroid belts like debris, but some of it 636 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: forms into planets. Eventually it'll all gathered together. Like you 637 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: fast forward the Solar System a billion years or so, 638 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: and you'll have a smaller number of bigger asteroids. Eventually 639 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: these all come together. So that's about will be a planet. 640 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: I don't know about one planet, but like will still 641 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: really billion billions of years, we could have a new 642 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: place of visit in the same way rings turned into moons, right, 643 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: Rings are not a stable situation for a planet really 644 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: gathered together and turned it into moons. Yeah, like the 645 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: Earth probably had rings for a while after he got 646 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: hit by some other Plorida planet and created all this 647 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: debris that surrounded it which formed the moon. We probably 648 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: had some awesome set of rings which then gathered together 649 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: into a moon. So Saturn's on its way to having 650 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: a moon. Yeah, we don't know how old the rings 651 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: of Saturn are, but we think they're not very old. 652 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: I mean they're millions of years sure, but on the 653 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: Solar System time scale, they're pretty young, and so that 654 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 1: stuff eventually is going to gather together and form larger objects. 655 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: Yeah wow, okay, but each but also each planet got 656 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: different stuff based on where it was in the Solar System. Right, 657 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: The closer stuff got the rocks that were left over 658 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: not much gas because they got sucked up by the sun. 659 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: Stuff on the outside is like mostly gas. Like if 660 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: you look at what's inside Jupiter, crazy right, super compressed 661 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: and like metallic hydrogen. It's not hydrogen. Yeah, it sounds 662 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: like a color for a new iPhone or something, right, 663 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: we just call it silver. But but the marketing genius 664 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: is over. I mean you often hear Jupiter described as 665 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: a gas giant. People think, oh, it's just a big 666 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: ball of gas. It's gas, and then it's hydrogen. But 667 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: it's not in gaseous state, right, some of it's like solid. 668 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: So you could land on Jupiter because it's like it's 669 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: metallic hydrogen covered by like an ocean of liquid hydrogen 670 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: and then gas on top of it. So it has 671 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: an atmosphere, but there's an ocean of liquid hydrogen. I mean, 672 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend going there without something like pretty nice equipment, right, 673 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: But there's a pretty pretty radiation, but there's something solid 674 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: there to land on. Well I read that, um, like 675 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: these gas planet gas planets out there, they represent ninety 676 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: of the mass of the Solar system. So it's it's like, 677 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: it's most of the Solar system except for the Sun. Yeah, yeah, 678 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: it's the Sun. Are are in these gas giants way 679 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: out there? Yeah, exactly, most of the mass in the 680 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: Solar systems the Sun. It's like then, of that one percent, 681 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: most of it's the gas giant planets. Because remember the 682 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: Earth is about one tenth of the radius of Jupiter, 683 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 1: which is about one tenth the radius of the Sun. Right, 684 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: all right, right, right, yeah, remember that. I just remember 685 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 1: as a kid, they're like, there could be I don't 686 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,959 Speaker 1: remember the number, but it's like so many earths could 687 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: fit in the Sun. And I was like, yeah, right, 688 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: miss Holton, I'm out of here. I don't need this. 689 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm in third grade. But you always forget that volume 690 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: goes by like the radius cube, so you can fit 691 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: It's only ten times wider, but you could fit a 692 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: thousand earths into you could fit a thousand jupiters into 693 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: the Sun. Right, So it's a yeah, So that's the number, 694 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: millionaire A million, yeah, million, A cool mill exactly. Yeah, 695 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: so you're right, Jupiter is huge and most of the 696 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: stuff that's not in the Sun is in Jupiter gobbled 697 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: up all this stuff. But we should be grateful, right 698 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: active Jupiter being really big could have saved our lives 699 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: because asteroids that would destroy Earth get sucked into Jupiter. Yeah, exactly. 700 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: It's acting like a linebacker out there, like cleaning out 701 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: the Solar system and gathering all that stuff. Um. I 702 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys remember, but like twenty years 703 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: ago or so, there was a huge comment to enter 704 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: the Solar system and then like slammed right into Jupiter. 705 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: Oh really yeah comment Shoemaker Levy was really awesome. They 706 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: got broken shoemaker, I remember that. Yeah. Yeah, it's slamming 707 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: a Jupiter and each piece that hit it we got 708 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: broken in like twenty pieces made a huge fireball, like 709 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: bigger than the Earth. But that he hit up us, 710 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: it would have caused a big wave. Who would have 711 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: had we'd probably recording a very different podcasting. Yeah. So yeah, 712 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: shout out to Jupiter. Thank you so much for you do. 713 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much of a debt wheel to Jupiter. 714 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: I have a new appreciation for it. Cool. So that's 715 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 1: the answer to planet information is it is just gravity 716 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: and stuff just that doesn't want to fall into the 717 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: sun out there. It starts to clump together. We get 718 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: the leftovers and we get a beautiful Earth with beautiful 719 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: sunsets exactly, exactly, and some call that magic. All right, Well, 720 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: thank you guys for joining us day um and be 721 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: sure for this you listening to check out their podcast, 722 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: The Daily See Guys.
