Witches in Space - Sixty Symbols

[commetsmasher]

Jade is a witch in space! :D

(I commend anyone that gets that reference)

[KillaNinja0]

after almost 19 years of being alive... i have finally found out why the sky is blue

[LongJohnOlsen]

maybe I'm dumb, but couldn't the red colour in the witches broom be the red light passing through the witches broom while the blue is reflected back (from stars from behind)?

[tom500k]

Qu for you awesome folks at sixtysymbols: have any of you produced any work/speculation on possibilities for making science tilt more in the direction of increasing rather than diminishing income equality -- identified by social epidemiology literature as the most critical literature for human species welfare/survival. Yes, this is a stretch for physics, but trust that you can do better than Von Braun's "where the the V2s land is not my dept." Thanks in advance;

citations available.

Who's the dummy with the bad grammar?

[currymakersuperfly]

who da girl wit da bad teeth?

[Voidkvlt]

Meghan Gray looks hot.

[WaveofTwilight2]

With NASA's budget about to get cut I ask Europe's space agency to please keep us Americans informed!! This stuff is too amazing to just be ignored!!

[TripleX2go]

It look like Merlin.

[legogelo]

Love your guys!! good stuff!

[quackerzdb]

I liked this mostly because of Brady's attempt at a witch at 3:25

[youngnam]

halfway between the equinox and solstice will be November 7th at 3:16am (EST). halloween is a week too early.

[counterclockwise123]

The witches head does look alot like a witches head though.

[counterclockwise123]

It does not look like a broom stick.

[matthewJmaloy]

@loqiloqi i think they know what they are doing

[loqiloqi]

You should've led with the witch's head nebula (wow!) and the Samhain cross-quarter date of Haloween. The witch's broom nebula was much lamer, and should've been the one that was tacked on at the end.

[OpiatedBliss]

1:48

A fair'ol speed indeed

[OpiatedBliss]

cool

[ToddHales]

Question: I know It's theoretically impossible to travel faster than light, but if we were in a space craft travelling faster than light and we looked out the back window, what would we see? Only darkness because light is slower than us and can't reach us or would we still see the light from stars that has already made it this far and now we're overtaking ???

[klpartyboy]

Just tell us if time travelling or teleporting is possible Please!

[neobiki]

Meghan is a scientist, she's smart, good at explaining and beautiful. She's perfect, I'm in love.

[jasleil]

Hm... it's very nice to know that Halloween marks the halfway point of two events.

[tehxan]

Halomoe/Fletcher, if you go back and watch the old videos I think he's picked up some British accent too.

[FeebleMuffin]

i have a question: are these amazing nebulae/galazy photos that show blue, pink, purple, orange colours etc true to life? so if i flew close to one in the shuttle would it appear as all those amazing colours? i think i'm right in saying photos from the hubble (and other telescopes, i'm not sure) have their colour "filled in" after being received as infrared?

[sixtysymbols]

@FeebleMuffin you should DEFINITELY subscribe to DeepSkyVideos - videos coming soon!

[FeebleMuffin]

@sixtysymbols thanks, i'll check them out.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@FeebleMuffin In this image, I believe it is an overlay of two separate images (note the distinct red and tortoise colors). Basically, because these gas nebulae do not have a lot of mass to reflect regular light, they use infrared, x-ray and other waves to bounce off and register a shape. In a nutshell, I do not believe you would see much of anything if you were to fly near it.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@YourBrainOnReligion tortoise? lol stupid spell check... turquoise*

[FeebleMuffin]

@YourBrainOnReligion haha, tortoise. yes, in fact i just read an article that claims the human eye lacks the sensitivity to see many of the colours depicted. apparently we might see faint grey and blue shades.

[Breyyne]

@FeebleMuffin I can't find the video describing it, But it is common practice that space photos for public viewing are a composite of multiple wavelengths (Ie Infrared, microwave and visible). This is what gives us the beautiful space images we have.

[Aviatorsmith]

@FeebleMuffin The photos of astronomical objects taken from telescopes are digitally enhanced from combined images of mostly radio, gamma, microwaves and infrared radiation. Visible light and ultraviolet light don't usually add to the "spectacular" effect of normal photos.

[MrKnnknn]

@FeebleMuffin No they aren't and if you flew past one you probably wouldn't even notice because they are huge, the only way to admire them is through Hubble and with the added colors. Each color represents different particles, temperature, etc...

[tupaclives96]

@FeebleMuffin Probably the latter, but don't be that disappointed...if humans could see outside of the tiny spectrum of radiation limited by our eyes and minds I'm sure they would look even more amazing than the "filled in" photos. Just because you (we) can't see it doesn't mean it's not really beautiful. Perhaps other creatures or life forms can see similar images without any help from telescopes

[twstdelf]

More awesomeness, thank you! :)

And I couldn't agree more with @100redeye ! I *love* the concepts, but the math instantly makes my eyes glaze over, evaporates my saliva and sets my brain in suspend mode. o_O

[FletcherHabit]

I subscribed to this channel hoping I might appear smart 

[sixtysymbols]

@FletcherHabit well if you subscribe to Sixty Symbols, you have done one smart things for sure!

[FunWithPhoenix]

@FletcherHabit Hehe, you're funny! :) I'm sure you are smart, whether or not it's astronomy. Everyone has their own talents and forms of intelligence and of course there is always so much more to learn! Have a spectacular day if you're reading this!

[kongotech2]

So I could cover the moon with my thoumb?!

cool!

[KemaTheAtheist]

Just an FYI, the tendency for humans to see patterns in things is called pareidolia.

[Dagrogames]

BURN THE WITCH. BURN THE UNIVERSE ITS FULL of witches!!!!

[w3n2]

Another video? Keep it up, Brady!

[MoHaaaK]

HER HAND IS FUCKING TALL!

[SlideRulePirate]

Big respect to smart women. I have one my own. I heartily recommend.

[steveg12345678910]

@SlideRulePirate *i have my own one

[nmuller789]

id probs do her

[jeebersjumpincryst]

and especially you @MrOldproff I know you have retired, but please get your butt back on here - a lot of us miss you and your great way of explaining tricky concepts. u know it. come on, man... ;)

[MrOldprof]

@jeebersjumpincryst

Dear Jeebersumincyst, I have been pestering Brady to do a video about the steam engine, or about Emilie du Chatelet to no avail; instead  he has enrolled me to do videos about numbers. I will be doing a few more videos about numbers next Monday. When I have done enough, maybe he will release me so I can talk about Physics again.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@MrOldprof WooHoo!!! Thankyou so soooo much for reading my comment and the personal reply!

I know not many of us say it, but a reply frpm the uploader or "star" is something to be sooo proud of! I keep all mine - including the reply from you when I said how well dressed you were, in respect/hat tip to your heros, the guys who in the 60's discovered the CMBR using(and repeatedly scrubbing) bird poo) off their microvave detecting "horn" gramaphone trumpet, paving the way for the WMAP craft, and-

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@MrOldprof -(2) the shape/structure of the large scale universe as we know it today locally, and yesterday, ad infinitum - the day before that! amazing. Well my friend, please keep on pestering Brady so we get you to sixtysymbols, where you seem as happy as a, ummm... pig in poo....? ---and also where you belong. {meant in a good way, and nz humour is understandable to our forebears I reckon :) } Also, in my opinion, the OPERA result/anomalie/measurement error was not covered clearer enough..->

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@MrOldprof ---(3)... so would would be great if you could expand a bit/clarify etc, on existing measurements and experiments (SN1987A), what implications would be for this school of thought, and clear up the main/common question of "does neutrino have a mass? it gets asked everywhere, simply everywhere. This "Hard" stuff is what appears to me to be the most captivating, awe inspiring and interesting stuff out there in the wilds of the 'internetz'

Awesome to hear from you and happy retirement! ;)

[MrOldprof]

@jeebersjumpincryst

I am ignorant as you are about the neutrino mass, but since the experiment has not undergone peer review it is suspect in my eyes. People who first publish without peer review ( the cold fusion guysfor example) are usually deluding themselves in some way. The evidence has to be overwhelming in favour of "faster-than-light travel" before it will be accepted widely in the scientific community that relativity is flawed at such a fundamental level.

Ideas for number-videos?

[MrOldprof]

@MrOldprof

Well we did 4 videos on numbers yesterday, and the fifth one (on e-2.71...) was too dull for Brady; and about three weeks ago I did another 4 on numbers and one fell on stony ground; plus there are two videos for sixty symbols on MRI, and on LCD devices that might see the light of day. Plus I am doing research on Granular matter and experiments on shaken matter floating in a liquid. So I have got my old Butt out.

[ColinJennings]

I thought solstice was the day with the longest sunglight? That couldn't also a 50/50 split of day and night, could it?

[Ed1H3r0]

watch?v=XT6qz3VN2ec

[ASwiftHippie]

Vail Nebula? That's where the quarian fleet is!

[flowerofsilver]

Physics and astronomy that makes me giggle! :D

[worknowful]

i like space, i wanna go to space, space, space, space, space SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­ACCCEEEEEEEEEEE

[bnew241]

these Halloween videos are scarring me

[skonkfactory]

Seeing faces where none exist is called pareidolia.

[didikh]

Look like NASA logo

[halomoe]

I have a question! Please answer! >.<

Where are you guys based??? The interviewer is New Zealander/Aussie

And the speakers are british/american.

[ItsMeFletcher]

@halomoe University of Nottingham.... in Nottingham, England. It says right there in the video @4:40

[halomoe]

@ItsMeFletcher Thanks! Just found it strange that the interviewer had that accent! :s

[ItsMeFletcher]

@halomoe Oh and he's definitely Aussie and not Kiwi, being Australian myself I feel I'm pretty good at recognising the accent lol

[halomoe]

@ItsMeFletcher Im aussie too. Born and bred :P

Just some of his vowels sound abit like a kiwi

[ItsMeFletcher]

@halomoe Yeah I agree actually, it took me a bit to figure out when I initially started watching haha.

[silver905]

where does the name sixty symbols come from?

[unicyclepeon]

@silver905 If I am not mistaken, their earliest videos investigated the various symbols that are commonly used in math and physics. For example, c is the speed of light, and lambda might be used for something typically, and etc. All the early videos delved into topics related to these "symbols of physics". But over time, they outgrew that and just kept on with physics topics, even when they arent specifically about one of the classical physics symbols.

[silver905]

@unicyclepeon thank you for that info. It makes sense now.

[periodicvideos]

@silver905 it all makes more sense if you visit the Sixty Symbols website!

[SoulShepherd84]

Thank you for another intellectually positive video! :D

[periodicvideos]

@SoulShepherd84 you're welcome. we're all about intellectual positivity

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@periodicvideos @sixtysymbols woohoo!!!! Brady are u still on? Thanks again for another fantastic one! I know you did the opera neutrino ftl(?) one, but it was so safe!!! any chance of asking the profs for their imaginative speculations? I know they (we) all 'suspect' error, (1987A observation and all) but would LOVE to hear them speak candidly about possible implications that arent immediatley obvious to us laymen(speaking for meself) even if just their takes on the likely error...

[Pianoguy32]

wow she has a long arm :P

[Lewdeman]

Thanks for the physical relation of degrees.

[macbethy]

3 videos in 1 day, you do spoil us brady.

[periodicvideos]

@macbethy we always go a bit crazy for Halloween!

[psionicman]

lmao brady is that your mspaint skills on the witch head

[fennmanic22]

witch face....

Im not saying its aliens

but it was aliens

[ieatatoms]

3:25 Well, there goes the sixtysymbols yearly budget. 

[twg20101]

@ieatatoms lol

[Draxis32]

Ha, will you look at that, people using Portal 2 references haha!

[munchegod]

is the glow from neon gasses ect or all of the elements

[terrait]

eh why did you cut the video off at the end? i dont really mind actual longer videos

[Chirigami]

Oh, thank God. When I read about this I thought it was a reference to Homestuck's "Witch of Space"... What with all the fuss there was around her and the last update.

(By the way, if any of you physicists like weird comics, you could try reading Homestuck :P.)

Other than that, really interesting :D Keep up the good work!

[00beasis]

In space no one can hear you cackle!..

[AdzeHD]

There better be a Professor Roger Bowley Halloween special! Would be Awesome,

[100redeye]

i like sixty symbols because i never understand the math of it of physics, just the concepts and logic behind it and thats exactly how they describe subjects.

[amopian]

@100redeye math is logic!

[HiAdrian]

@100redeye Yeah, it's the same with me and i strongly regret it (not having a solid maths background). Makes the great Wikipedia articles on physics of limited use.

[g00hz]

Amazing :)

[IAmTheWalrusGuy]

do da five jive

[Supacalaz]

Witches in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
