re : title

now i have david bowie's 'fashion' stuck in my head

Fashion - Turn to the left

Fashion - Turn to the right

We are the goon squad

And we're coming to town

Beep-beep - Beep-beep

[Krashevil]

pulsars have SUUPPPER Gravitational pulls. if u drop a marshmallow there, it would be the force of an atomic bomb

[Xxero0]

What if you fill it with helium first?

[noelsoong777]

and it would be more then a charred marshmallow

[rotatingwah]

Good title. OK, back to your video related abortion and language debate.

[masterhalco]

abortion is murder

[linebeck222]

true

[masterhalco]

false faggot

[penguindude77]

hmmmm lets soooo ummm no its not and why did you thinck of that on this vid?

[Krashevil]

not really.... like... there was no life to begin with. so.... how can that be murder

[danthemanzizzle]

big woop

[The1Rausch]

TY Science Channel i just explained this to a frind of mine ... nice to have good "pictures" of it now . Best Chris

[fmmarzoa]

Kai Hansen?

[PanchoDeAzul]

lalalalala

[n1b1ru2012]

remember drugs will kill you maybe not today or tommorow or in 10 years but one day they will along with the booze and yes gamma rays can kill to just like the cia

[shitty9bill99rowan]

ur retarted

[sarahsum1]

Can i just check, or ask. Is a pulsar an exploded star? ( a neutron star?)

[johnsdevid]

IMPLODED star. A rotating neutron star.

[bookisomg]

yes it is

[Nanotech11]

Why are no more videos coming out...

[zionista7]

Funny! why would they remove scientific information!?... hmmmmm....... now I just wanna know more!!!

[reYKCuf]

The truth is out there.

[bargs1]

that would a bitchen screensaver lol

and there is no prove of god or jesus

[Sc0ttPrian]

lol love the irrelevant true ending to that

[konikula]

could have commentary :)

[tarohoa]

the things that are most beautiful also seem to be the most dangerous, so many amazing things out there, i hope i live to see them.

[BenStilller]

and its geting worse and worse...

[ChatterMic]

But what does this have to do with religion anyway?

[ChatterMic]

Oh come on, you people are just silly. Everybody knows that there is no god.

C'mon guys?

It's been over a 1000 years.

[garyU6969]

me n u r real, but sad in sum ways but i agree

[butterfly32aa]

I'm not Einstein so I realy don't know what this video is trying to tell us!

[IrishFuzzySpartan]

Me either .... where did religion come into this page ?

[FalconNeko]

i dont know what that was but it was prety

[WKaliber1]

proof that God doesnt exist

[lejink]

to you religious people who wonder why scientific minded people feel they cant be religious- intelligent design supporters are the main reason. they take any difficult scientific question and answer it with "god must have done it" well why bother researching ANYTHING then!? we wouldnt have ANY of the technoligy advances, no knowledge of space, nothing. why? because ur not going to get anywhere by believing theres some supernatural force that u can never see holding the universe together

[lejink]

its like the theory of gravity or theory of magnetism. they are known facts, you dont claim that you are standing on earth becase gods hand is holding you here. religious people dont dispute the theory that keeps satelites in space. "A body of knowledge using controlled-variable experimental methods to construct a formal and mathematically structured system. "

a scientific theory is something that has been published and tested by peers in the same feild. it isnt just a untested thought

[sirnicholson]

lmao the theory of magnetism lmgdfao.i dont dispute the theory of green grass.

[MrFireAss]

bottom line is, believe what you want , and ill believe what i want.

to say someone is uneducated because of their faith is to say that you are better than someone of faith , due to your atheism.

how does being an atheist make you better than anyone else?

[jjohnston1]

Come on now,, just appreciate something beautiful for a few seconds and move on.

[Saintvip]

wtf

[Banksyyt]

very sexy...

[freshdxm]

that was sexy

[123pivot456]

so cool

[Phonomorph]

A little sound would be nice.

[xane7]

its what a star looks like when it reaches the end of its life and explodes, like this with gamma rays shooting out both sides, then it eventually converts into a blackhole.

this is crazy shit, and we are lucky cause none of these are really close to earth, that we know of, i would be more worried about a solar flare from the sun then this haha.

[fonehacker1491]

13th

[Soaronex]

Nice

[djsuperstar717]

so the purple area shows the energy moving through the pulsar?

[thomasamagne]

I think the qualities of these videos are just going down the drain...

[EvaLasta]

what is this lol

[jouckeding]

it's pretty and interesting, but i wish they'd give at least a better description of what we're looking at.

[SatwaMan]

A gamma ray beam spins slowly across the universe like a massive lighthouse. The Earth is statistically destined to have major sweep over this solar system every 100,000 years or so. We have not had one for at least 500,000 years. Very strange.

A major gamma ray sweep will wipe out almost all life on Earth.

Be afraid.

:-)

[Acornoa]

where does this gamma ray come from?

[popecorkyxxiv]

Quite possible antimatter annihilation. Scientists have been able to produce positrons in a lab and when they are exposed to normal matter they cancel out and convert to a ridiculous amount of gamma radiation. Some see this possibly as the energy source of the future since it's 100% energy conversion efficency as opposed to the 4-5% conversion rate produced by Fission and Fusion.

[psycho642]

big deal man...I'm sure we will live our lives and the next generation can die..

[SatwaMan]

Ha ha , it is not something you should loose sleep over "psycho642".

You should, however, be concerned about fishstocks in the oceans dying out, the oceans dying, pollution turning the atmosphere into poisonous gas, and genetcially engineered organisms polluting the foods and killing off insects.

[RELIGIONmustDIE]

Clearly you come across like you have no understanding of any of the things you just mentioned.

FatwaMan - let me guess - your a Terrorist sympathizing Muslim who thinks science is evil.. What are you doing in the US? Go back to the middle east if you like a scientific vacuum!

[wtfAvailableUser]

Are you aware that US been terrorising the world on a far greater level through decades?

How many inocent people were killed by US military led forces? And how many americans were killed by islam radicals? Wake up from your american dream bud!

[psycho642]

I'm not even thinking about it...I know that we will eventually kill ourselfs...I just wonder how???

[ACherimoya]

I tried to accessorize with a gamma ray belt.

It hurt.

[Phloxicon]

LMAO

[radical80]

Haha, that's funny! :)

[Tripp393]

cool

[hunteranubis]

pfff could have that as a screensaver on my old comp.

exept that it wount have a ball in the midle of all that.

Im definitly not impresed.

Another bad video. Get better already

[scottenfuego]

...well this isnt a screen saver, its a discovery

dont watch these videos if you cant appreciate them

[Vash2382]

Wow... just wow. Your utter inability to appreciate the wonder of what this video is attempting to express is simply breath taking.

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

awesome :)

[Icix1]

God is probably a really big quark star.

[chillz27]

god's got a hairy beard

[MonsterMozz]

god eats spaghetti.

[ProblemWithTheTrucks]

I, too, sport a gamma-ray belt. Very fetching, it is.

[zoid1332]

i like turtles

[frogscar]

B:(:)

[14KANiS]

Nice glowy-thingy. Can I have some explanations? :)))

[OLYMPIAisSPEAKING]

haha me too. I mean its really pretty but what the hell is it?

[yllbala]

things that we cant explain we say god did that not only Americans but all who belive to god say that.i belive to god too but i dont say that cuz i know in world,universe have lot of beautiful things that we dont know about it.

You can say what ever you want!!!

But this is science every thing can be done:)

[Jayhawkblue]

Exactly, word for word.

[Paxmax]

mixing science and God is inherently stupid.

Go ahead, pray for the next big discovery!!!

Come on, it's for the greater good of mankind!

Clasp your hands!! Chant to God or Jesus... include the holy spirit aswell, can't hurt? can it?

Do you think PRAYER would work without the dedicated work of scientists?

Science will always spank gods! ...and gods dwelling places (IE excuse to exist) diminish with each year passing.

[bevscorner]

This demonstrates nature's beautiful symmetry so colorfully. I love it!

[Paxmax]

*Ahem* the colors are added by programmers.

If all things would be in symmetry, nature would be boring or wouldn't exist at all. it's the chaos and reactions that brings this exciting place together!!!

[bevscorner]

Okay, you win. But it's still pretty. :-D

[Paxmax]

We are also fortunate that we are only seeing the gamma belt and not the ray.

If any of these concentrated gamma rays would strike earth say bye bye to the life as we know it! Let's just say that the worst place on the worst day in hiroshimas history would be a freakin good day for earth.

[Paxmax]

I forgot to add =o)

[bevscorner]

lol

You're right, though. The chaotic violence seems so well concealed behind the beauty of such things. We really are easily fooled when we use only our senses to judge such things.

[strangeparty]

the beauty is mostly created by an artist, who colors these images

[Jayhawkblue]

Awesome. Gods creations is beautiful.

[technologyms]

for americans everything that happens is work of god...

this is science, not religion and the universe was produced by big bang theorie as far as science people know at the moment.

[iAstrophysics]

Actually, no technologyms.

I'm an atheist, and an American. Good job on stereotyping, though. But anyways...

Yeah, this is supposed to be God creation? I agree with you technologyms, what the fuck was God thinking when he made black holes and pulsars?

[technologyms]

sry for the stereotyping but is annoying to see the "god" word in every post.

[iAstrophysics]

Its alright, trust me, living in America you get to hear this kind of propaganda every day. I'm moving to Europe when I'm of age for sure.

[MrFireAss]

he was thinking "let me divert the attention of the non believers away from me."

and it worked pretty well id say.

[iAstrophysics]

Wait, to which person was that comment directed to?

[MrFireAss]

lol...  for an astrophysics buff, you sure confuse easily..

[iAstrophysics]

Uhm, no I don't. I hate youtube's system of comment organization and henceforth I never really tried to get accustomed to it, and besides you never mentioned me by username.

[MrFireAss]

its in the "code of ethics" to reply to a comment by name now?

[iAstrophysics]

No, just helpful.

[MrFireAss]

now i know, thank you for pointing that out.

[vladidass]

It's called creating a balance einstein...and i have to say that it's funny that the universe was produced by the big bang theorie :))) It's a theorie boy

[iAstrophysics]

Uhm, excuse me? I'm sorry, but you seem to lack a certain scientific knowledge, vladidass. A theory in a common-use every day sense (EX: Just a guess) is NOT the same used in a scientific sense. Get your facts straight, dude. The Big Bang theory is supported by massive amounts of evidence.

[vladidass]

it's a misunderstanding a replied to someone who said that "the universe was produced by the big bang theory",and I don't disapprove with the big bang event,i to prefer this theory.

[sirnicholson]

A theory is an idea.Theorys are unproven.Science or not.If it is a fact it wont have the word "theory" in its description.

[jeffersondong]

your an idiot

[iAstrophysics]

Actually, no. Jesus Christ, is this what scientific illiteracy gets us? Okay, so the theory of Gravity is unproven? The Theory Evolution by natural selection is unproven? The theory of electromagnetism is unproven? Is special and general relativity unproven? No, you probably mistake theory and law. A law can best be described in mathematical terms, a theory is all it will ever be, just like everything in Science. So, yes, it WOULD have theory in the description. Get your facts straight.

[swyft187]

you're an idiot

[camilonino84]

The word Theory in the scientific context has a different meaning than in the popular context. For a common person theory may sound like an hypotesys but is not. A theory is a PROVEN hypothesys. Scientist should change the word theory and use law or something like that to avoind this kind of confusions, and to prevent intellectual dishonesty from some people that just dont like what science proves and take advantage of other people ignorance

[sirnicholson]

it doesnt matter who you are if you say theory then it isnt a fact!

[camilonino84]

the meaning of words are defined by the use and context people give them. In a scientific context an accepted theory is a proven fact, whether you like it or not, whether regular people use the word with other meaning or not. Deal with it.

[sirnicholson]

one meaning.theory does not mean fact.Live with it.

[camilonino84]

LOL that would be ONLY according to you. Maybe you should publish your own English dictionary where words have only one meaning... LOL

[sirnicholson]

See?Its like this.You are "flux".1 word 3 definitions all meaning the same thing.You being #3.

[wtfAvailableUser]

Yes, its a theory, but atleast has logics, while theres 0 logics in gods existence.

[vladidass]

I believe in god,i am an orthodox.Anyway one thing is very real: I can't prove to you He exists and you can't prove me He doesn't exist!

[swyft187]

I can't prove to you that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist either... what does that tell you? That it exists? Do you reach all your conclusion this way? Try some introspection and maybe, just MAYBE a little actual science (not pseudoscience) and you will enjoy the universe just a little more, trust me. Oh and welcome to the universe by the way. I made it, I can't prove it but by your reasoning, you can't deny my divinity and infallibility.

[vladidass]

Mr science I see that u don't have the right connections of neurons to understand what i was trying to say.The idea was that u can believe what u want no one can tell u otherwise.And in the future don't reflect your way of thinking to other people.

[Rapfanatic]

That's right, but it's up to the one making a positive claim (in this context: those claiming God exists) to back up what he's saying with evidence. So far you've (the religious people) have come up short. So I think it's a lot safer to say that there isn't a God :)

[vladidass]

I have no problem with those who say God does not exist,we all have different ways of perceiving life.But something inside of me doesn't want to believe I'm just an individual belonging to the human species(we are animals),for the sole purpose of perpetuating the species.

[LikeAPossum]

You don't perpetuate your specie. You perpetuate your genes. Since you are an aware being you can choose your purpose. It doesn't have to be on imaginary premises though.

[Sc0ttPrian]

whats the bad in.. less humans, but not in our time. its not killing anyone. just sticking that out there

[brx612345]

@wtfAvailableUser fuck off.

[OLYMPIAisSPEAKING]

i agree i mean no offence to any religious people here. But how can you deny that the world began as a result of the big bang? To say God created the world is madness...facts don't lie.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!

[OLYMPIAisSPEAKING]

ahh i am guessing you are a boy!? Only becasue every boy i know is obsessed with that line from 300 lool.

[teemuruskeepaa]

It is healthy to have social rituals. It is the sign of integration on a global level.

[TeaSpoon2008]

not as beautiful as you Jayhawkblue.

[DamienHell]

Odds of anyone who worked on this who believes in god....VERY little. 93% of scientists are atheists.

[MrFireAss]

lmao where did you get that number from? pull it out your self-righteous ass?

[DamienHell]

Yep I pulled it right out of a self-righteous survey.

[MrFireAss]

nice way to dodge the question...

you didnt answer the question.

[DamienHell]

Yah I did, its from a survey

[MrFireAss]

from a survey of "anti-religious beliefs in todays science community"? or an unbiased and double blind survey done by a factual and reputable source?

[MonsterMozz]

Go and read a few books written a bit later than the bronze age and find out yourself.

[camilonino84]

There are lots of surveys and studies about the religious beliefs in the scientific community. All of them or most gives a number like that, more than 90% of scientists are atheists, it is not propaganda, is just a fact. There are studies also about religious beliefs ranked among level of studies, the more people go to school (masters, phds, etc) the more likely they are atheist.

[MrFireAss]

When however the perfectly logical assumption is suggested that underneath the material world and life as we see it,is an all powerful, guiding, creative intelligence,our perverse streak comes to the surface and we laboriously set out to convince ourselves it isnt so. We read wordy books and indulge in windy arguments,thinking we believe this universe needs no god to explain it. Were our contentions TRUE? It would follow that life originated out of nothing, means nothing, and proceeds nowhere...

[camilonino84]

Your reasoning start from the conclusion, you realize that? you deny a concept because you dont like the implications. Thats not a proper way to find knowledge, do science or any logical reasoning for that matter. We dont choose the truth about the universe, it is simple out there, doesnt matter if we like it or not. The beauty of science is to find the truth about the universe, not to invent it, not to deny the facts that we dont like.

[MrFireAss]

believe what you want, and ill believe what i want.. but PLEASE remember, you jumped MY ass for simply agreeing with another believer. It seems you have some underlying issues if you must confront ANYONE that has different views on things than you do sir.

[camilonino84]

I only told you what i know about lots of respectable surveys after you cuestioned the bias of a survey... i dont see hows that jumping on your ass, or you simple agreing with other user,you made a critic i answered. Then you answered me with your logic and i pointed to you the flaws in it, then you do the victim act. So ok, believe what you want, i will see if somewhere out there is a believer willing to have a mature exchange of ideas without feling under attack. good night sir

[MrFireAss]

im sorry i was talking to 3 people @ once and just noticed it. its hard to keep track of who i am talking to when i dont really care.

[jamesrenember]

Nice one ;)

[redemptionwins]

I don't see any of gods creations in this video

Or anywhere for that matter

[vladidass]

wtf if you don't belive don't speack about it...you don't understand the meaning of god...

[redemptionwins]

The meaning of what? God? Whats that? Some imaginary friend?

[grrumpff]

I think it's a bird of some kind...

[tarohoa]

how did u know!?!

[blues260]

honestly..

it becomes fucking annoying that people post "god is great" in every video about the universe or science at all.

i wonder why they post this........ .

i never see comments like that in videos about evolution..

[MistMrE]

this is the longest reply message iv seen.

[MrFireAss]

well put bretheren.

[Blue2Scripter]

cool

[ReallyPsilly]

Sigh, I wish I had my old astronomy teachers email address..
