  • As Usual 5 stars I can't beleive I have been watching your vids for so long and not subscribed till now I will get my GF to spank for the lapse later LOL

  • ah i've always wondered about those pictures, thank you.

  • Gotta love the whole backfilling Muslims and even Judeo-Christians do to justify their holy books.

    It used to be, science was rejected if it didn't fit into the interpretation of scripture, now they're changing the interpretation of scripture to fit the science. Well, they have to, don't they?

  • couldn't stop loling when the song came on saying "Boner...Bone"

  • Great vid (as always)! I just wanted to say I loved the "true/false colour quiz" at the end. I got most of them wrong - but every time I did I laughed! I've never been so delighted to be proved wrong! The images were just so beautiful, and trying to imagine whether such things could actually exist in the universe, was so enjoyable! Thanks!

  • I think the term "True color" is a little irritating. Every thing appears differently depending on the (sun-) light that's shining on it and the atmosphere that's filtering it. Nothing in this Universe really has a "true color" because how do you define "True"? a rock from Mars looks different on Mars than it would look on earth. In another solar system it would also look different because the sun would be different.

    Is a tomato actually red? think about it!

  • I suck at identifying True/False color. Also, you got a great taste in music, what's the name of the genre of music you listen to?

  • "Yes, I'm aware of the spelling error made on the very first slide in the very fourth word."

    Fifth word.

  • oops! i'm one of those people who can't.. count.

  • Notice the demon face in Cas-A? God's trying to say you are on the wrong track. But seriously, demon faces can be seen anywhere. I saw plenty on the wood paneled homes of my youth. We need to see faces to know if a predator has us in its sights. I've gotten my cats freaked out by two circles and two lines I drew on posterboard. They did that whole raise head, lower head, sniff the air and approach thing.

    Just discovered your channel. Love it.

  • :) Another great video, surprisingly, since no graphic ownage was involved.

    Let's see, two things I wanted to say...

    Oh, first, I believe it was Potholer54debunks who mentioned in a video that some families or towns of humans have evolved the ability to see colors in the UV spectrum.. One of them should bust out a telescope!

    Secondly, just wanted to say that I correctly guessed all the true/false color images :)

  • I think that was AronRa, actually, in one of his Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism videos, talking about beneficial human mutations. The trait being discussed was a tetrachromatic eye.

  • OMFG! "Respawn lol."

    It hurts to laugh that hard. :D

  • oh, odyssseus, shouldn't you be grading physics papers or something??!!  ;o)

  • Uh, Yeah... excellent video(s)!

  • Great video, great idea.

  • If humans evolved from monkeys then how cum they still monkeys?

    Hail Xenu!

  • these are modern monkey as we are modern humans.

    when people say we evoled from monkeys the mean we evoled from a older version of monkey that evolded into both humans and modern monkeys you see today.

  • dat's devil talk!

    (sorry, I'm sane, just trolling)

  • You shouldn't have let on then, you might've gotten an interesting response from that one.

  • lol

  • Love your vides

    I've read an article how there has been a supernova observed this year. I'll find it a bit later, think you might be interested.

  • DAFT PUNK!!!!! I love you AW, you have AWESOME taste!!

  • Great video. Isn't that Mr. Scruff? xD I like the song Shrimp :)

  • love that picture wih jesus saying "Respawn LOL" absolute classic

  • Awesome video. I got all the test images correct. ;) Good rule of thumb: if the colors appear intense, or extremely varied (i.e., a lot of green also with a lot of red), it's probably false color.

  • "you must ..."

    Where exactly did I say the (complete) definition of religion X was limited to simply NOT being any religion from the set of all other religions?

    All I said was that there are additive properties, ajudaic, a-islamic, abuddhist etc. which can be tagged quite validly onto any religion other than the one associated directly with the tag.

    "Atheism is "without gods""; Christianity, for example, is "without other gods" and is thus lacking those other gods/religious beliefs.

    Get it?

  • * well, at least for any religion which calls for it's followers to be exclusive, which afaik is all of them.

    "Does that mean you can define ... Aislam?" along with a lot of other A*'s to each and every religion.

    A muslim who has never heard of christianity is by definition, an Achristian, as they lack belief in christianity, they lack all knowledge of it so how can they believe?

    No one in existance will ever have known all the religions that ever existed, so everyone is an A* to some extent.

  • I disagree, it's implicit with the command to "worship no other god".

    Worship no other god is the "intensional" definition; do no worship allah is part of an extensional definition (which would basically just be a listing-out of all others gods than the christian god).

    I'd also disagree that christianity (along with every other religion) is not the opposite of atheism, since each one is simply an instantiation of the general template for theism.

  • A good question to answer:

    Would a christian still be a christian if they, along with all things christian, worshipped allah, xenu or krishna with equal devotion?

    I wouldn't think so.

  • Great vids - great cause!

  • It's a Firefly picture!! Yays :P

  • And then you have weak atheists with strong tendancies to specific systems (though im my experience, for generally valid reasons), just to confuse the matter xD

  • John you are correct on your 2nd post but incorrect on the first. Dawkins does NOT say children are atheists. I think you would agree with me that they are non-theists.

  • JohnHolmes, denying the existence of a god can be strong or weak, depending on the argument. If you look at the etymology of the word "atheist", it means "without god(s)". If you think about it, anyone who doesn't believe in ALL gods are atheistic towards the gods they don't accept, and only theistic towards their own.

  • strong/weak = bullshit.

    Atheism = belief there is no God.

  • "AW,

    Atheism is the BELIEF that there is no God. It is not the claim "there is no God". That is a claim of truth. Atheism is a claim of belief."

  • Hit the post button by accident -.-

    "That is a claim of truth"

    No, it's a statement, whether it is true or not remains to be shown.

    Atheism can be the belief there is simply no such thing as a god, but it can also signify a wider rejection of theism as it is currently known (similar to rejecting the notion that the earth is flat). Lack of belief in a religion is also atheistic, just as a lack of symmetry is defined to be asymmetric (i.e. not symmetric).

    Meh.

  • For example, a christian (who has a lack of belief in, say, islam) is a-islamic (anislamic?), ajudaic and ahinduistic (to name only a few).

    Though, my personal favourite is anachronistic, useful to describe belief in any and all of the religions.

  • Currently, there are two major types of atheism- weak atheism, which is what AW is talking about, also described as teapot atheism, and overlaps significantly with agnosticism, which is a denial of knowledge of god(s). This means that a person has no reason to believe in any specific god. This is also very close to the idea of the universe or nature as god, as described by Spinoza, Einstein and Plato.

    Then there is strong atheism, which says that there cannot be a god of any sort.

  • JohnHolmes3000: Atheism is intrisincally more rational. It does not teach that there is no god (that would be a faith-claim). It simply teaches there is no firm evidence. It is just a lack of faith. Consequently, those who label themselves as Agnostic are also Atheists.

  • AW, Atheism is the BELIEF that there is no God. It is not the claim "there is no God". That is a claim of truth. Atheism is a claim of belief.

  • good video i look forward to seeing more of your videos.

  • Thanks for helping exocising a few of the Demons of stupidity from the world.

  • "So are you saying the jet stream could be anti-matter?"

    No, wildbestia is referring to Hawking radiation, but that is not causing jet streams.

    It's actually a very complex process, I'll try to give you the current consensus:

    When interstellar gas is pulled towards a massive black hole, it is first shaped into a so-called accretion disk, spinning around it. The enormous gravity heats up the gas and ionizes it. As a result, this gas creates a very strong magnetic field...

  • (cont)

    ...

    Now General Relativity plays its role: a black hole is spinning too, extremely rapidly. And this creates a relativistic effect called 'frame dragging'. The rotation of the black hole starts to distort the magnetic field of the accretion disk: the field lines get twisted like a cork-screw, perpendicular to the disk. So as gas spirals towards the black hole, it gets deflected and ejected along the coiled magnetic field, creating 2 jets.

  • What are the 3 laws of Magnetohydrodynamics?

  • « What are the 3 laws of Magnetohydrodynamics? »

    1. Never dry your cat in the microwave.

    2. No pair of socks will remain the same color when exposed to a magnetic field over a lengthy period of time.

    3. Don't. Just - don't.

  • XGralgrathor, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. If I don't know something, I'll look it up, or just not make it the subject of my video.

  • « I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. If I don't know something, I'll look it up, or just not make it the subject of my video. »

    Too bad. What with the definitions for time and existence and all, I'd have thought that Hawking's no-boundary proposal would per default be more accurate, the universe not beginning at t=0, but at lim t=>0. But I'll keep looking.

  • I have never suggested that the Universe began at t=0, and furthermore I've never alluded to the big bang being the beginning of the Universe. The big bang is simply the solution to all Friedman solutions at t=0. As for the boundariless hypothesis, you must be aware that it is in hot debate within the scientific community at present.

  • « you must be aware that it is in hot debate within the scientific community at present »

    Of course I am. I think it's one of the more interesting topics. I was just wondering if you knew what the latest developments in this area were, or what your own opinion on the matter is.

  • Your videos have a very high standard. I'll be sure to inform my friends about them.

    Even your Q&A video is exceptional. Keep up the good work!

  • "So are you saying the jet stream could be anti-matter?"

    no, anti-matter is attracted by gravity just as matter. black holes emit some sort of radiation, first predicted by string theory and observed later. I don't think physicists know exactly what it is.

  • i got 1 false/true wrong! \o/

    And i absolutely do not care you got it all right.

  • Its ass-hat not asshat, ass-hat.

  • lol

    typoes sock

  • Very enjoyable video!

    I got 5 right.

  • Crediting sources for music can end up in you getting DMCA'd. I wouldn't do it.

  • what isthe best space sat you have seen

  • Great video. Well, all of your videos are great. Keep up the good work.

  • Great to see some cosmology being covered, its very lacking when compared to all the great biology and chemistry videos.

    Keep it up!

  • I must agree that threatining with hell fire is emotional abuse probably mental as well. Great video.

  • Hey man, you've got a great thing going with these videos.

    Suggestion, if I may? You should use the description area to note which questions were asked, and at what times, ala:

    (1:30) "Hei man, wher doez invisibul cheezburgerz comes frum?"

    This way, when we want to go back and review a question, we know exactly which video to watch, and where in the video to find it.

  • I am a fan of thunderfoot...and a number of others...but i have to say that ur vids are...with lack of a better word...more hip. i dig the music and the message...and after all...im feeling like a god a damn master of biological evolution. Having a different view is fantastic. well done.

  • "Why do black holes, when feeding, emit a jet-stream of radiation? "

    Quantum mechanics answers that. Any book will do.

    I don't think it's possible to write the explanation here. Maybe someone will be making video on that subject. Also, not everything is well known today and well explained.

    But the idea comes from existence of anti-matter, anti-energy. So the black hole attracts one and repulses the other.

  • Great video, please keep up the good work.

  • If all videos could be as "rough" AW. Brilliant, and informative. Thanks!

  • M16 false

    IC434 true

    Io false****

    HD 5980 true****

    Rings of Saturn true

    M45 false

    M101 true

    5/7 isn't bad, I think.

  • Your videos are amazing, informative, and very entertaining. Can't wait to see more, I've learned so much from your videos already.

  • hello AndromedasWake, great video, thanks.

  • interesting.

    please turn down the ridiculously high treble on your mic. every time i hear you say an S sound, it splits my ears in two.

  • Thrashaero, perhaps it is your speakers/headset - as I did not experience any issues.

    Great video mate, nice to see that you have taken the time to respond to questions, some of which I had never thought to ask =)

  • i'm using sennheiser cx500. good quality sound, maybe picking up the high pitch others might not.

  • Most likely lol, I am using a cheap headset and/or the speakers which came with my PC =)

  • Great! I had always had this question. I love your videos. Enjoyable, entertaining, informative.

  • you misspelled color!

  • you mean colour

  • Us brits spell colour that way.

  • you misspelled color!

    ~~~~~UNQUOTE

    "Colour" is the other way to spell it.

  • yes. I know . Just kidding.

    liter=litre

    color=colour

  • lol, sorry, ic now that youw'er kidding.

  • No no. it was a good guess. most Americans are retarded like that.

  • He said he was kidding and we should take his word for it. You're not only being cynical but disrespectful.

  • no, that's how we spell it in American English. He spelled it correctly in imperial English.

  • imperial english FTW, colour, honour etc.

  • All I can say is thanks for the video's, It was pretty informative. I like video's that put the universe and or scientific discoveries in to a visible perspective. Can't wait to see the great video's you release, not intending to add hype lol Just remember to keep it civil, don't be to ruff with the creationist. "Peace"

  • i just love your taste in music

  • For Great Justice!

  • I was gonna ask about the color thing too. Great explanation :)

  • So if im right when its true color there are "in between" colors where it shifts from one to the other but if its false then the color just instantly changes from to the other with nothing in between

  • Great video. I cant wait for more.

  • Very cool, thanks for this video. A few questions I have, where does the scientific community stand on the matter of dark matter/energy? Pretty much believed to be real? And what about the ultimate fate of the universe, a collapse in on itself or an ever-expanding, eventual "burnout" where most matter is turned into heavy elements so new stars cannot be formed? Just some questions I find elusive or controversial.

  • I would like to spoil the fun for anyone who has not finished the vid. The answers are: false, true, false, true, false, true, false LOL

  • I was having fun guessing until I realized there was a pattern XD

  • Really well done, mate. I learned a bunch.

    A quote from Albert Einstein seems fitting: "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."

  • FIREFLY!!!! YES!!!

  • Great video I wish I was an Astronomer to appreciate it more, so thank you for helping me understand some of it.

  • My questions:

    Why is Jupiter your favorite planet? Any reason?

    Also, was there a particular thing that inspired CrAP or was it just the lack of debunking creation astronomy videos?

  • Awesome job!

    Keep it up!  Im looking forward to this series of yours!

  • great editing skills, good easy to understand information, great music, great images (got em all right!)!

  • Great video!

    Astronomy began to really fascinate me when I realized just how unbelievably much there is to see out there. It humbles me to no end, while at the same time it's an uplifting thought that there's so much beauty and so much to uncover and explore.

    I'm an atheist, but when I see pictures of thousands of galaxies speeding through the endless darkness I feel something that might resemble god adoring awe.

  • I am an biologists, so although I enjoy vids about evolution, they seldom teach me something really new, but your vids about cosmology are completely fresh air and some proffessional attitude about this field of study was really needed here on youtube, for ignorance spreads rather rapidly.

    Until now I consideret astronomy to be dull, although cretards forced me to learn some basics. Thanks for sharing this knowledge in such a fun way.

  • cretards? would those be creattards?

    ..sorry AW fro being off topic. great vid.

  • well, my spelling is not flawless, but you got the point :P

  • I only missed 1- woo hoo!

  • Lol, i managed to correctly guess all the last image colors as true or false, and I'm color blind!

  • Another well done video. How can anyone look into the universe and see an invisible space man looking back, it seriously contracts the universe to something small and dirty. When it is a nearly unfathomable expanse of beauty.

  • Thanks for that!!

  • i am trying to transcript it, but i am stuck in some words, so please check the text below, and above all the CAPS part:

    Ehi! What's up !? It's AndromedasWake here.

    This is the first INSTALLMENT of a new series OF videos, WHICH would be addressing both frequently asked questions and just really good questions that EACH OF YOU is messaging me.Rest of show: crap debunked will continue, but because i started to get a huge quantity of questions, i feel quite REED HAD TO GIVE short and rush answers

  • so every now on then i'll make KEUL AND ROUND of video which will hopefully help to filling gaps. I'm sorry in this video AIN'T BEEN particularly polished, but it's unscripted decided from a few images i know i want to use so BARE with me and we'll jump straight in these MATTERS KEYS. Yes i'm an atheist and i have been really since about the age of 15, up so THERE i guess i WOULD CALLED myself a MODERATE religious, though i DIDDN'T really have any religious OBLIGING...

    Please correct it :P

  • Example:

    DIDDN'T:didn't

    Thanks !

    I am not English speaker, but nonetheless i like your videos, so i'm asking you and your fellows to help me transcript it so i can translate it:P

  • Cool I guessed them all right. Exellent explaination for the last question. I've always wondered if space was actually that colourful. Thanks.

  • I really enjoyed this video, especially your videos contradicting god, even though I'm not an atheist i really enjoy your enlightenment.

  • <3 Very nice choice of music

  • Are you a Browncoat?

  • of course ;)

  • Thank you very much, you're inspiration to all of us :)

  • Man, your videos are up there with tfoot and donex2!

  • Brilliant stuff. Thank you.

  • Amazing... simply amazing.

  • I'm in the video!! So cool!! ;) Nice vid AndromedasWake! :)

  • lol! All of my guesses except the last one were wrong :(

  • Hey AW, this is a very interesting video you have here. It's quite informative, and sheds new light on astronomy for me. I have a few questions though. Have you ever heard of APOD (astronomy picture of the day)? It's a site run by NASA that has a new astronomy related image daily. Google APOD and click the first link. Also, if humans could see all of the electromagnetic spectrum, would the night sky be very very bright?

  • wow...I never thought about the colors...thanks for that. I feel smarter now. :-)

  • Wow. You'll be in Science vs Creation elite in no time, that's for sure. Great vids that really give new ideas for those who aren't that familiar with astronomy!

  • This is a Great Video.

    Thank You!!

  • wow. Over 60 photos of interacting galaxies!

    they are all avail as hi-res 16x20" images. great stuff!

    sorry AW, no hi-res pic of Cass A!

    great pics of V838 though!

  • found this cool flash animation you might like though:

    GREAT book and ONLY TWENTY CENTS!! Got mine brand new for less than 4 bucks including shipping!

    (that's like 2 quid! ) :)

  • Thanks for the link lennyhipp, some great images there. I didn't want to include the absolutely massive images in the description as some viewers may be waiting a while for them to download!

    I have a huge poster of Cas A in wonderful quality on my wall though :)

  • Interesting video.

  • Great vid AW! For those of you interested in Hubble's Ultra Deep Field image, there is actually a MUCH higher resolution one on wiki: tinyurlDOTcom/345jm7

    the resolution is >TWENTY FIVE times better than the one in the video description!

    This site might be of interest to your viewers as well;

    tinyurlDOTcom/4k5wxv

    It explains in detail the way STScI assigns color to the B/W images and WHY. It also explains the wacky shape of some of the photos.

  • for learning more about astronomy, I recommend Stellarium, its a free program that allows you to find almost any object in your night sky. Like a telescope on your computer where you can set your place on earth, the time, (future, past or present), and zoom in/out on any object. great for amateur astronomers

  • Thanks for the recommendation.

  • Good call dhartin,

    Stellarium is indeed excellent. I also recommend the latest version of Google Earth with the built in Sky browser. Lastly, check out Celestia, a nice program that lets you tour the Universe in glorious 3D, and track space missions at their current positions.

  • I like this ,nice cats . Good info ,subscribed & 5 stars although I'm sure there are millions more stars shown on those beautiful pictures...BTW I am off to get an eye test as I only got four right on the colour test.Nice work,get busy on the next video..

  • Love the videos. I'm working on a mathematics degree with an astronomy minor right now. (Because if you've got to do tensor analysis, you might as well enjoy looking through a telescope. lol)

    I wasn't aware of Google Sky, thank you for linking it. I've been using Starry Night and Microsoft WorldWide Telescope. I like the WWT interface a little better, but there's no such thing as having too many good information sources.

    Keep up the good work.

    RouletteRog

  • ever used stellarium?

  • Awesome vid. I've been wondering about that.

  • And? So did the Greeks and Romans?

  • Really? I didn't know! I thought, it was Copernicus, who came up with the idea of a heliocentric solar system.

  • Copernicus rediscovered it of sorts. Once the Greek and Roman Empires fell, the Holy Roman Empire and Catholicism took control of science, and anyone that contradicted the Bible was deemed a heretic and executed...hence the term Dark Ages.

  • Well, thanks for the hint. I looked it up, yes it was Aristarchus of Samos (310 BC - ca. 230 BC), who apparently came up with the idea. So, it isn't a scientific miracle of the quran after all, huh?

  • If anything, I would call it the incorportaion of science into the quran. Through trade and the flow of ideas from the Middle East and Mediterranean area, the authors of the Quran were likely knowledgable about such things. The Old testament of the Bible was written before even Aristarchus, so naturally it wouldn't have been privy to the information. Some ancient peoples knew a lot more than we do give them credit for in some regards.

  • Don't forget Ancient China, the Celts (presumably), the Maya and the Aztecs

  • "Its amazing, isn't it!?"

    Unbelievable.

  • It's silly, isn't it! LOL ;-)

  • I'd like to see them predict something useful for a change.

    I mean, anybody could've predict that we'd be able to fly, or talk and see across great distances, or move in horseless carriages, but nobody ever imagined what those things would mean for us, how they would influence the basic structure of society, the way we live and think...

  • Yes, the statements in the Quran are contradictory and inconsistent. They are useless, irrelevant, worthless claims in scientific terms! They only make sense in religious terms. And Islam is not exactly a nice religion too.

  • "And Islam is not exactly a nice religion too."

    It's a religion. It's not supposed to be nice. Like dinosaur killers and tornadoes and volcanoes, they just are.

  • LOL! You made a very good point!!! May I cite you in the future?

    I am in correspondence with a Islamic fundamentalist, who insists that the Quran is the inerrant word of allah and with a cdesign proponentsist, who wants me to believe in the salvation by jesus christ! :-)

  • great video but you spelled Andromeda wrong on the first page:) still give it 5/5

  • Thank you very much for your opinion and insight about the quranic crap some islamic scholars use to pollute YouTube! It is so ridiculous! The hole idea of "Scientific miracles in Quran" is both absurd and laughable.

    Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

  • This is the kind of stuff that will inspire kids to grow up to be scientists. Show this to your kids.

  • Best new person on youtube since Pat Condell T Foot and DosExodus

  • pretty easy to tell which ones are false or true color. You just have to pay attention to the stars and overall tint.

  • great stuff!

  • Nice idea AW, am eagerly awaiting some more ownage! Thanks.

  • You spelled your name wrong in the title. Otherwise, awesome stuff dude.

  • great video dude :), waiting for the next "crap debunked"

    take it easy,

    Jonathan

  • nice work!

  • damn youre good, glad i sub'd

  • Thanks !!!

  • That was excellent man! I can't wait for your next video, truly beautiful pictures!

  • Sweet. I especially liked the part about true and false color.
