"Space has no temperature" Then proceeds to give space temperature 😐
It's not cold in space....but it is hot??!?! I am screaming at the contradictions and bad science this loon is spitting.
@@arthurpendragon3000TECHNICALLY speaking cold doesn't exist. It's TECHNICALLY the absence of heat. Something doesn't absorb cold, it dissipates the heat.
Its call explain dummy
@@arthurpendragon3000He didn't mean that. If you learn about science (which you don't becuz you're lifeless), you know about temp, I'm not gonna explain this becuz it's long...Yeah it is hot but around stars. If you're farther away from stars, the temp would be so chilly. So hope this help (im not trying to be a nerd I'm just explaining this to you so your brain can get some info)
@@BlackSnickersNi hmm so taking a science lesson from someone who can’t even spell? Good one, Mr. Wizard. 😂
in Star Wars they was aware there are no fireballs and sounds, they also told that when some hard scifi fans mentioned that. They also said the space battles would be awfully boring without all those fancy sounds and lightshows.
The sound of a black hole is now the soundtrack for my nightmares. Thank you
You choose your nightmares
I always wondered why when I stare at the Sun and close my eyes all I see is green with bright green dots floating around until until gain all my vision back
A space craft may explode in a brief ball of fire, because 1. it contains air for the crew. 2. it contains fuel for the engines. However the size and duration of the usual Hollywood fire ball are unlikely.
Another call for practical effects!
I should have read more comments before posting mine. ty
Just think A-Team from the 80s. Huge explosions but no death.
Hand grenade blows up half a city block in a huge, fiery, mushroom cloud. Lmao 😂
Im gonna get some boxers made with the Perseus Cluster on the back. That way, I can explain the hot, audible gas cloud behind me.
The SciFi series "Babylon 5" is unique in that it used real space actions in the few first episodes: without sound. But the viewers didn't like that so after a few episodes the fake sounds appeared 😢
Gonna send this to a Sci-Fi writer I have aa a friend. He is very fixated on proper details so he will LOVE this!!! It's a treasure trove of cool things he's really going to enjoy!!! Great video I will say myself!!
Presumably not a professional sci-fi writer.
A lot of this is incorrect.

Cognitive dissonance is not having viewpoints that differ from reality that's just being wrong. Cognitive dissonance is having 2 or more contradicting beliefs at the same time.
It was/still referred as the duality of man.
Science isn’t an opinion, contrary to the GOPs advertisements. Lol
@cranialnerv wrong. Science is a method for discovering truth and not a flawless one. It's the truth or facts that may be found by science that are not opinion. Though, claims found by science are almost always not called facts or truth. There are almost always error bars and a p-value determining the statistical level of confidence that the claim is correct.
@renehinojosa1962 wrong. Cognitive dissonance by definition given by the field that defined it, psychology, is the perception of contradictory information and the mental toll of it. The only other definition of cognitive dissonance given by the field that defined it is the definition required by psychologists in order to diagnose someone as it includes the outward actions of the person potentially being diagnosed. That definition is a person who acts in a way that does not line up with their beliefs. Duality of man is multiple personality disorder or a con artist
Fire explosions in space etc. is done on purpose for movies, because if it were realistic it would look dull. Same for cars that explodes when you drive over a bump.

Haley did not discover the comet. It was named after him because he used the observations from others around the world to assist Neuton in his paper on gravity and Orbits. Ironically he never discovered any comet's.
This is so interesting, I mean I heard the whole flat earth theory but I love that you explained other possible scenarios. That was fun to watch.

Due to the color frequencies our eyes can actually see and/or not see, our sun will never appear green to our naked eyes. Its impossible. Cool Worlds has a video explaining this in detail on his channel
I have a bit of a hard time believing a nuke would change a meteor's trajectory off course considering how fast it is coming at us. I have an easier time believe rockets can be set on a meteor and use that to push it off course with the propulsion
A starship's fuel cell spilling into a vacuum and the thrusters providing a source of ignition are totally feasible. Especially if the fuel material is chemically oxygenated on the molecular level. No external [O] required!
DC Comics, with their collection of Superman tropes, insist that we have a YELLOW Sun. The trope goes that when a Kryptonian is exposed to the light from a Yellow Sun, a Kryptonian becomes... well, Superman!
hmm ... the flat earth segment has some common misconceptions about what believed in the past. Copernicus wasn't the first by any means. try about 500 BCE and size calculated about 240 BCE.
@54:30 more bs Methane gas is odorless Methane is an odorless, colorless, flammable gas. It is used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. It is also used to manufacture organic chemicals.
Methane is not odourless....
@@philcoombes2538 Pure methane is indeed odourless! If you’re smelling rotten eggs that’s the sulfur compounds that usually accompany it when comes from the ground. I imagine that commercially available methane, like propane, has added compounds that smell so we can tell if there’s a leak. Someone probably learned that lesson the hard way.
@Mitashade I stand corrected...learn something new every day... Presumably the ubiqitous pong of rubbish dumps is due to sulfur compounds from cabbage etc 🤭
Methane is NOT odorless, take a DEEP whiff next time you 💩, and tell me it don't smell?!??
@21:15 puré Bs f a nuclear weapon is exploded in a vacuum-i. e., in space-the complexion of weapon effects changes drastically: First, in the absence of an atmosphere, blast disappears completely. Second, thermal radiation, as usually defined, also disappears.
P❤
Check out the starfish prime detonations
5:05 wrong!!!! HEAT is defined by the collective motion (vibrational, rotational and linear) of the particles. Temperature is an effect of the difference in heat between two bodies in thermal contact. If you hit "space" with no protective suit, your heat against space's non-heat creates an energy gradient from you to space, which you detect as a drop in temperature. A very fast, permanent drop in temperature.
I can hold my breath longer than 15 seconds 😂🤣
Not if the air in your lungs rapidly escapes into the vacuum of space...
Minimal explosions can happen in space, did you think humans wouldn't have oxygen tanks in their ships? Oxygen tanks and the engines that might use that oxygen as well, would be what causes the 'VERY' brief bubble of flame. And some forms of plasma fires don't require oxygen to burn.
And EV batteries
Most common plasma is ultra high voltage electricity,which dominates the universe !
Space is fake
8:35 - There is no orchestra in space either. The sound is for the audience, not the characters on screen, just like the background music.
12:00 This Guy Starts Explaining Where The Gravity On A Flat Earth Would Be While Completely Ignoring The Fact He Just Said Flat Earthers Don’t Believe In Gravity… What Are We Doing Here
I was thinking the same thing the whole time he was talking about it.
He’s working through the real-life implications of a flat Earth.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I would rather freeze instantly than asphyxiate, dude.
I loved every moment of it. Thank you for sharing.
I feel dumber by watching this
We knew the earth was a globe nearly 3000 years ago. Copernicus only helped go from a egocentric universe to a heliocentric universe.
And why should the gone egypt Masans not only try to point out to the Orion and especially Sirius and talking about circular happenings if they for example have no idea that the earth travel around the sun like most of the other planets do.The Church steps us way back in our knowledge about everything!!!And these people like Kopernikus to Tesla never really found something out about free energy or the solar system,they reinvented or developed a way to get the technology and the wisdom out of the Veda’s the indogermanic wisdom comes from the north over Nepal and Afghanistan to India but not for everyone because they have these specific tongue speaking out the Vedic Mantras that have high power because of their vibrations they use and they also knew about that sound gave the hole universe it shapes and now we are finding out in modern astrophysics and metaphysics that these old cultures that are 6000-12000 years old views about things work out perfectly and we achieved a bit of that wisdom now,that was here all the time.We are not on the top of this world except in making shit out of gold and destroy our environment,in that things we are (not all) big kings of nonsense making.
Ha, ha, clever terminology.
OMG it's not green that's one of the filters used to capture the sun ,including Red blue and green. Our Star is white!!!!!
I love how the narrator goes on about asteroid belts being all spread apart with lots of room yet shows nothing but images showing crowded close together asteroids.
😹😹😹 The cats would push us off.
I really enjoyed every aspect😊😊
My one problem with astronomy is that scientists present things as facts. Then they discover something new and want you to forget what they previously presented
Because astronomers are willing to admit when they gain new knowledge. If they know everything right away, they would be God. Maybe you're not up to the level of science. Stick with religion instead. It's simpler to understand.
Neither are true… Do you know what I hate about people that comment and don’t know what they’re talking about… they speak things into existence that are slightly close but completely wrong but sound kind of good in the moment.
It's not about forgetting what they previously discovered, it's about incorporating new data into existing knowledge giving us a more complete understanding. ☺️
@@anugroho1174 you can’t gain new knowledge on a “fact” now can you

He politely trolled the flat earther,s and I loved it.
Actually there would be air inside the ship or space craft so you should still see exploding ships just not as big as they show in the movies
If you get shot out into space, you have 15 seconds before your brain shuts down from the lack of oxygen. OK, how is it that I can hold my breath for 2 minutes and 30 seconds without me blacking out? Does space not being able to breathe work differently then not being able to breathe here on Earth differently? Now I 100% agree, without the Earth's pressure push on us from all angles, we will expand and without that pressure, our blood will expand too. The scary part to me isn't the expansion of my body. It would be me feeling the saliva boiling off of my tongue and the all the moisture doing this all over me. That to me would be scary. Take if from someone who has had a massive heart attack and died, there is nothing to fear about dying. I think we fear the pain that comes with it. If that is the case, don't worry, you won't see it coming when it happens, so quit worrying about it.
because of the vacuum
You cannot hold your breath in a vacuum
So with all of what you just said you really believe there’s folks in the ISS and went to the moon? Just another thing too… if you were on the moon a full jump would launch somebody in the air about 20 feet in the air… they could barely hop on the moon and dust flying away falling like it would on Earth… just something to think about.
@@saulescamilla3605 seriously. Get an education. You know nothing... except how to be a contrarian and delusional denier

In space, everything is relative to something else. As for the "flat earth", that pancake looks a lot like a galaxy….
The Milky Way is flat
Flash back to 6th grade Earth Science. Sad thing is, most human beings who graduated middle school should know most of this, saddest thing is they don’t.
So could the Spacemuda Triangle be a region with high magnitude radiation and electromagnetic fields that either jam or scramble the signals plus the actual signas could face a sort of phase problem because of the inhibition of similar wave patterns that nulify each other, and may there be other wavelengths, magnitudes or polarities that could override or overcome the signal losing parto of space?? and another theory could be that the gravitation pulls harder the signals waves or particles so they dont get out of the field???
this is a cool vid thanks

Wow, that flerf section was a painful waste of time. Clearly zero idea of how flerfs imagine the flat earth to work. They do not even believe in gravity, and say we have a dome over our pizza. What a waste of time to add to a video.
if Massive Black Holes manifest a certain type of discrimanative or selective attraction, are there particles or wavelenghts which are reppelled by the black holes magnetism polarity???
Bro our solar system rotates around the Milky way galaxy
At 1:19 I believe they said if the sun was 800 degrees centigrade cooler that the earth would be a frozen lifeless rock. How does a sun that is incredibly hot change that drastically with a drop of “only” 800 degrees C? In the grand scheme of things I would believe that such a “minor” drop in the temperature on the sun that it would be like pouring a 12 ounce glass of water into the ocean and then try to measure the increase water level. If y’all have an explanation please let me know.
Bc they don’t know what their talking about everything is theory just like they keep talking about the Big Bang lol now why would I believe that if nobody even existed they just come up with stuff and get rich off of it
Depends what they mean by Sun's heat , in the core there is a few million C but at the surface it is only a few thousand , but I am just a casual space liking person so what I said might be irrelevant lol
I think he meant suns surface temperature (5.600 celsius) 800 degree change at surface is a drastic change for a star so
Lower temperature -> decreased luminosity -> Goldilocks zone shrinks, etc.
If the Sun drop by 800 degrees Celsius we would a) need to be closer to the sun, or b) the sun would need to be closer to us to sustain life and the temperatures we are accustomed to seeing
ibn al shatir invented the idea of heliocentrism 2 centuries before copernicus, why did we give the credit for this idea to copernicus? the fact that his book has similarities with the book written by al shatir makes me even more upset
He makes this big deal about the sun's 🌞 true shining color as being green. Then continues all the way to the end showing a yellow/orange sun☀️ stock imagery. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 J.J. I love this channel! 💚💥💚 💋
The part with statement that flat earth gravity would be in the center is actually wrong
No explosion or fire in space, I get how that works. But what about the oxygen that was already present inside the ships, for example if a fire was present in a ship, and it made the ship explode, wouldn't that have added the oxygen needed to create the explosion in the first place.
If it were flat there would be so many different variables that it makes no point speculating. It could literally be anything.
The sun is DEFINITELY not green. Nothing in space is green. The sun appears white from space.
Why would the weight of mantle increase the air pressure? Wouldn't the mantle be like a rigid exoskeleton, completely separate from the weight of air? I mean if you have a metal ball and fill it with air, that air will still have the same pressure as the atmosphere because the exoskeleton aka the shell of the ball self sustains it's own weight without relying on air, unlike a balloon. Also, with that sort of heat, how would air or water exist?
Lmao man just destroyed flat earthers😂😂😂😂😂
What causes mercury to be -180° at night? Also how was the temperature measured?
I have a few requests for videos I would like for you to make🙏🏽
oxygen in cabin so that those that are on the ship can breath there for if a spark hit a pressurized tank explosion however brief it is true that there are some scenes of fire going on may be pushing physics in star wars but explosions in fights is not only possible but probable
Super Man would actually get powers for a green sun.
From the equator it's the velocity of Earth's rotation that assists a rocket

Thanks. In space, no one can hear you fart. Be afraid. tavi.
There is no possible way that there is only 10k stars we can see with our naked eye here on Earth. Telling me NASA went around the whole globe and counted every star they could see with the naked eye? Haha
11:05 Yes. Without gravity pulling in any particular direction, a sphere is the resulting shape.
U described the flat earth wrong. You forgot about the ocean above and homer simpson, responsable for the 2nd great flood 😏
The series "Babylon 5" started with a few realistic episodes - no sound in space - but in later episodes sound was added to satisfy the majority of the viewers... Too bad, it could have become an epic series in eralistic effects.
Regarding the density of asteroids as given in this video, what you say is true…for our solar system. Surely there are a few solar systems somewhere in the galaxy where it is true that an asteroid field is just as dense as Star Wars depicts. Or is there some rule, or property that dictates that asteroids can never be so close and remain so over long periods of time?
@@iron1204you mean like what people think when you reply to the wrong comment while insinuating people are dumb?

who ever thought the sun was on fire? like what that does even make sense you need oxygen for the fire.

Could the use of chanellized lava help get past the earths crust in digging explorations===???
Driving through the asteroid belt will not be easy as you think, it will be hard as the star wars bcs you thinkin with our current flying ships and rockets speed, but as the movies this intergalactic ships and fighting ships are flying so fast than you think even asteroids are 100,000km apart from each other if the ship flying 100,000km per second speed its one second distance from one asteroid to next🙃😁
Your right
So NASA’s perseverance, rover uses lasers to study for life on Mars. So it would seem that the earthlings zapping the Martians, who’da thought.

Your refutation of the flat earth is brilliant. (Starting circa the 10 minute mark) However, we should be careful when we make claims about the past which we cannot back up. On the one hand, no one knows what the "general public" believed in antiquity and even in the Middle Ages. I can think of a couple of writers who said the earth was flat, but there's no evidence of general belief in that. On the contrary, from the Greeks to Augustine to the Court of Isabella, other people wrote of the planet being a sphere. I can't imagine many peasants and herders caring one way or the other. On the other hand, it's not entirely absurd to think the sun goes around the earth. That's the way it looks, even to me, today, living in an apartment building and using the internet. This is the geocentric model. But even I can see that it's a lame model. First, there's the angle of the sun at different seasons. Second, when I went to Argentina from the US, the seasons were flipped and the sun was not in the same place in the sky as in the US. The same is true going from the Far East (where I live now) to Australia or New Zealand. Third, from a flat earth, Polaris must be visible equally from all points, but in the Southern Hemisphere, you see the Southern Cross instead. Fourth, people have been to Antarctica, tourists as well as explorers; scientists are living and working there now. Fifth, to get from Hong Kong to San Francisco, the straightest line is an arc that takes you up to Japan, over to Alaska, and down the West Coast. From a window seat during daylight, you can see many if not most of these places. Copernicus showed, from observation of planetary movements, that earth and all the other planets orbit the sun (which you bring up at about the 52 minute mark). From this he derived the heliocentric model. Even though it's counter-intuitive and seems crazy, it's the only model that really makes "sense." This is one theory that is absolute fact. This theory revolutionized the way we think and is partly responsible for ushering in the age of scientific discovery. Unfortunately, for some people, it may just be too much for their imaginations to take in. Maybe these are the people who are only using 10% of their brain. For those who are using a bit more, or would like to, see "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn (1962).
At 48:25 you say Earth and Mars have been sharing material. Please can you explain in more detail , apart from asteroid collisions, how material from Earth would get to Mars ...??
You know nothing about the Sun when was the last time you even looked at it. This matrix is pissing me off right now
You can’t apply newtons law to the flat earth idea because it’s literally designed to act like a globe would
So planet shapes in our solar system be like, sunO o o - o o o o o ? Anytin is possible ig :)
Wouldn't the pressurized, oxygenated, Interior of tue spaceship lend its O2 to an explosion or fire... Even in deep space?

There is no conduction of heat due to vacuum but you would still radiate your heat away. Look up black bodies and radiation/conduction of heat.
