We’re still combing through Apollo samples one fragment at a time to catalogue them. And by combing we mean crushing into dust and burning into them to get an idea what they’re made of. So happy to see our work getting attention! Geology isn’t the most flashy subject, but Planetary Science and studying The Moon is freaking awesome!
i love the shark shirt!
@0:47 I appreciate the 3D animation of gravitational waves.
It’s awesome how much grav waves are changing things and adding such new insight to physics and cosmology
So what’s the mass on those boson stars? If it’s close to the mass of two black holes, why wouldn’t they collapse into black holes?
So.. dark matter?
0:45 Actually, gravitational waves are emitted by all objects warping space and time as they move. Only huge events, such as black hole or neutron star mergers, warp space and time enough that we can detect their gravitational waves.
Since they are invisible, what would happen if a space ship collided with a Boson star?
5:19
“Or studying rocks to probe places on the moon we can never go”
With our(countries’) current attitude to the moon, that’s about right.
Just a quick question:
Who tf thought, oh we have a thing called an axiom, which is used quite frequently for all types of theories. Why don’t we just switch the m to an n and call this theoretical boson that? Were those people in a writersroom, arguing how they get the two words even more alike, and just figured, well its the same word and n and m are phonetically ridiculously close together, quite some people can’t pronounce the difference clearly, feels like a great idea.
(Lovely video like always. Happy everytime I can satisfy my hank-crush♥️)
New star just dropped
I really hope it’s not another Kardashian!
It’s only a matter of time before physicists discover the mighty space kraken
I don’t care what you say my guy, I refuse to acknowledge the presence of that video you mention at the end. You’re lucky I still sub after the notion of the clickbaity title of that video.
👍for the youtube algorithm.
Darkstars..
The explanation of the boson star left me at a loss. They don’t have event horizons but it has gravity? How can they rotate around a point so fast if they aren’t singularities?
Boson stars got me really excited here…
I still maintain it is more likely we don’t fully understand the effects of gravity on intergalactic scales rather than there being a undetectable form of matter which is also 5 times more abundant than regular matter.
In other words: I don’t believe dark matter exists at all – we just don’t understand physics as well as we think we do.
If it has mass it would have a gravitational pull therefore it would interact with light and could be seen with gravitational lensing could it not…..
Add to watch later. Goodnight space nerds.
This title makes me wonder if there are regular stars that just emit radiation completely outside the visible spectrum.
Hank is looking rough.
I think the time required to become proficient in certain subjects through traditional schooling could be cut in half if educators taught in this manner. Rather than the traditional method, where you pass the course and know the material and realize you could teach a semester course to someone else in a week.
Ive already told others about a possible collision between a visible and non visible mass.
thanks to light pollution, most stars must be boson stars since I can only see a few
Hmm doesn’t this kind of put a dent in the whole “intergalactic travel” hype
Space is so freaking amazing. Even the very idea that an invisible star could exist in hypothetical is so mind boggling, and I desperately wish I was intelligent enough and good enough at math to be an astronomer or physicist just so I can see it for myself as it happens 🤓
It’s probably impolite to call attention to the shy stars in the room.
Reminds me of the old adage: shoot for the boson star and you will land among the regular stars.
Also, Anton Petrov did a video about Boson stars about 4 or 5 months ago. 😁
Everything is theoretical until it’s not.
Could you say that an old brown dwarf is “invisible”, like Gliese 229B?
Check it out yall, new star just dropped(maybe)
Hank, the word you’re looking for is time capsules.
Half this video flew right over my head, wich means I have a lot of reading to do. Couldn’t be happier
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day’s done – Gordon Sumner (aka Sting), 1981.
It’s pretty much axionatic that they exist.
Most likely a dim brown dwarf.
And, yet, GWs have yet to be detected. If the translation from muon detections to muon-photon interactions was done correctly, then purported GWs would vanish.
Laser beams are 3D cones not 2D planes.
if they really new there particle physics then they would realize that these particles axions are created with extreme energy’s higher then the core of our star and many others and are very short lived so no it shouldn’t in theory make a star.
Wouldn’t these be more like super Boson planets? Since they don’t give off light (or radiation at all, as far as I can tell) it seems silly to call them stars.
I want that shirt
Occam’s Razor may be 700 years, but it’s as sharp as ever: “entities should not be multiplied without necessity”. When something looks like two black holes colliding, one of which formed from a previous merger, then it’s probably (almost certainly) that. And don’t come back ’til you have evidence it’s not.
Hank, your Apollo special was TWO summers ago, but I know we all want to act like 2020 didn’t happen, so I guess I’ll forgive you.
Look between the stars and into the void, its were they live
Nice can’t wait to see the universe break
Nothing can’t escape gravity if you’re close enough, doesn’t have to be a black hole, you will collapse to it eventually, stars devour their planets and it become just another black hole once it acquired enough mass, but it takes way too much time that we will never see it in our lifetime. Doesn’t matter anything we will be devour by the sun eventually, it’s not a matter of if it will happen but when it will happen, either we get destroy by gravity or send away by it.
Enlightening.
Occam’s Razor
Stars that don’t want us to copy their homework.. You can’t hide forever you sob.
You can call me a boson star ✨ if you want 😂
MACHOs?
Oh they dropping new stars now? Damn 2021 patch lit
Everyday new space news that’s just great
how long until super huge EXPLOSION?
So how warm is the lunar interior? How deep can we drill or dig? Is there a limit?
And the plot …
1. Thickens
2. Confuses
3. Identifies as a plot but …
4. Could be hairy
5. Only what I believe
6. Is a wet dream
7. sigh … NOT SCIENCE
babe wake up, a new star just dropped
Every time I think my mind has been blown the universe comes around and blows it up again. Thanks, universe
I saw a video yesterday that kinda ticked me off. They said the gravitational waves were from two suns colliding. Even I knew they were caused by black holes colliding. I was so disgusted with all the other misinformation, and/or lack of information, in the video I couldn’t even comment there about it.
Who knew a simple quantization of a term in the standard model lagrangian could lead to stars.
Im curious as to the power a Boson Start might hold….
Wake up babe new star dropped
New star just dropped
so the moon is thought to have formed from the accrual of molten fragments of proto-Earth and Theia after the Great Impact, right? is there a chance that the S32 and S34, since they formed in different chemical conditions, could correspond to and be used to differentiate and compare matter from the two separate bodies?
That star would be one in a nonillion 1×10^30
I like that shirt. Unbutton that second button. Please.
If there was one mystery of the universe that i could find the answer to, it would definitely be what is up with dark matter. Its a mystery id love to see understood somewhat in my lifetime because im absolutely fascinated
wishful thinking is what that is I mean clickbait
I would’ve picked “Ninja Star”, but that’s just me.
He would also be a very good actor. Great talent♥️
Yeah, but if there is 5x more Dark Matter then it would be the normal matter instead of visible matter. 🤔
the world is full of invisible stars, all waiting to be discovered, so that they may enjoy thier five minutes of fame.
Wouldn’t an axion star gravitationally attract hydrogen? I don’t think it would be invisible in that case. With enough mass the axion star would fuse the hydrogen and shine like a normal star, but it would have strange properties.
Really enjoyed this episode, well made! Thanks Hank and team!
Based on the higs boson?
didn’t know they named a particle after the ship in wall e
The content of SciShow is amazing, but can I also say that the graphics (and the way Hank interacts with them like at 3:14) really give it polish. There’s clearly a lot of work that goes into making these videos, and it’s definitely appreciated.
I wanted to vote for both sci-fi/horror and fiction.
Nibiru nut cases: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!
Could this explain the great pull?
I’d call it boatswain star
Yay! Hank!
shouldn’t the boson star vs blackhole thing be “easy” to decide, we know given what object we suspect to have caused the gravitational waves what kind of masses at what distances would be possible (for this merger event), now all that is requried it surveying those areas for further hints of gravitational influence of such objects if we find none at blackhole distance but some a boson star, then it’s further evidence for boson starrs (or issues in the blackhole theory :D)
mining helium on the moon. lets get on it.
Isn’t it amazing how little we know?
Getting some new physics would be nice, we haven’t had anything game changing for a few decades
Well.. I hope they name the first one they find after Sue Storm.
I really like how these evidences were in those moon rocks all those years just waiting to be discovered
This Show <3
It’s amazing how even really old missions like the Voyagers and Apollos still produce cutting edge results today 🙂 although I also can’t wait until we have enough equipment in space that that’s no longer true 😂
2:55 “Now this is what it’s like when worlds collide!”
New star just dropped
yeeeeeee scienceeeeee!!!!!
BOSON STARS, fuck yeah! Very happy to see y’all talking about them again!
Hell yeah! New star! Wahoo!
The universe is goddamn fascinating, can’t resist it lol✨✨
I love this channel
HELL YEAAAA
