Supernova _ the most realistic computer simulation untill now

[MIndlessSafyy]

Like if you just skipped to the explosion ;]

[spacegeek25]

or just go to 6:45

[spacegeek25]

just cut the first 6 mins and show us explosion 6:00

[aleksandar6477]

I like hypernova moreXDDDDDDD

[asshatcapn]

@kaelen7 It is a commonly accepted theory.

[Xanax26]

man that was a good celestia well done

[cominup85]

thank you for the heads up about the simulation!

[noslover11]

ehhhh not sure abut the type I off center start "the flame start" to me will be Probably at the center dead center where the most heat and Pressure and that will Really change the simulation and make it a lot more Difficult. so Im not buying it at all. and the "NO AIR" part is just funny. give a Thumb up if know what i mean

[joikbenik]

man i hope i'm still alive when the star betelgeuse will go supernova :D it will light up 250 more bright than venus and 2500 more bright than sirius, it will be as bright as the full moon, that must look really awsome

[jkleli]

Somehow i knew (1:06) was going to be mentioned in the top comments

funny shit

[TheMarix777]

6:56 It like a mushroom...

Long live Minecraft !!

xD

[StruckDownByThunder]

@Lakota60 There's a documentary thing like this video about our star being s binary star. Single stars are actually more of an acception to the rule according to it. Most star systems are anywhere from 2-5 or 6 stars.

[Lakota60]

I think we are in a binary system and that the other star is in a orbit so large that it only come near about every 35000 to 50000 years and may be the cause for many deaths on the earth over the years . I could be wrong but think that the earth has been devestated about 7 to 10 times so far just as i believe that the big bang is just one of many big bangs each time starting over this would make some say no but i bet many feel the same way i do just my opioin and feeling about all this thanks.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Amazing simulation

[FutureMG]

@SM97MIAH keep tryin buddy

[WolfCoder]

I love the added dramatic music and sound effects

[FMAFMAFMAyaoi]

 But will it blend?

[LunarFuror]

does luminosity sound like a made up word to anyone else? I know it's not but it just sounds like a silly word :P

[MetalMonarchy]

i have a question. stars use hydrogen to burn their fuel for the most part of their "lives". when they go supernova, they are not mostly hydrogen. they are the next....4..5..6..or more depending on their size. my question to you and all astronomers is: when they go supernova, where does the hydrogen come from in the nebula to cause stars to be reborn??? does instantaneous fission happen with every gass in the explosion or something?

[Ghirahim1213]

@MetalMonarchy Yes.

[SloppySevenths]

@MetalMonarchy Stars that create Type II supernovae actively burn hydrogen for their entire lives. While on what is known as the "main sequence", hydrogen fuses into helium. Because helium is heavier then hydrogen, it collects near the middle of the star, with hydrogen fusion occurring in a shell outside of the helium core. As more and more helium packs into the core, it heats up, and if enough packs in then helium will begin to fuse. However, when helium fusion begins, hydrogen is still present

[SloppySevenths]

@MetalMonarchy and at the end of time of supernova you will have layers of shells like an onion. A hydrogen burning shell with a helium burning shell inside with a C, N, O etc core in the middle. So when the supernova goes off all of these elements, including hydrogen, are still present -- even if a large percentage of the initial hydrogen has been fused.

[StasisClungeFlux]

what about a black dwarf? They must have bigger cocks per mass? God said they did??!

[llorenzollorenzo]

3:45 he says super novy

[WAZZA1235]

what episode was this in?

[WAZZA1235]

Huh what is science good for

[Sneakysmrzy]

@WAZZA1235 Science is good for pleasing our curious minds.

[WAZZA1235]

@Sneakysmrzy It was sarcasm. Science is important for our very lives.

[MitchieCookie123]

Wow, is all I have to say.

[QuantumLegend]

1:06 "The first supernova ever witnessed by man occurred in China"

[GreenJesters]

@QuantumLegend ???

[epiksonik]

@QuantumLegend

first witnessed and recorded within this historical era.

[cdmaster35]

@QuantumLegend what you did thar i c it

[SM97MIAH]

GODS CREATIONS ARE AMAZING

[omnitrix214]

if they want supernova they should ask some from sephiroth

[Skyheadful]

8:32 CAN YOU BE A SUPERNOVA!

[Skyheadful]

6:00 just skip to that!

[dorumon1000]

oh my fucking god!

[scuzzulus]

i hope our sun doesn`t do that

[collguyjoe99]

@scuzzulus

Our sun does not have enough mass to even think about going nova

[SkysWeirdProductions]

6:56 Sun boner

[sprudelgolem]

Where can I find part 2?

[xINVISIGOTHx]

1:07 shouldn't it be in fact, the first RECORDED supernova ever witnessed by man" ? Basically you're saying there were no supernovas from the time the first man evolved until 185 AD

[Worldofturtles111]

i am roman catholic, and we beleive that God is a mystery, no one can really know everything about him or his creation. my point here is SCIENCE AND NATURE CAN NOT CONTRIDICT EACH OTHER

[nashertheatheist]

@Worldofturtles111

Well that's lovely, but totally irrelevant to the video.

[asshatcapn]

@Worldofturtles111 well lets think, science has been around since the dawn of time (~10 billion years ago since last Big bang), When do you think Christianity came about, 1-2 thousand years ago. Now lets calculate how much longer science has been around....Calculating.....5000­000x longer. so whats more likely to be correct. The one saying its not possible to know, or the ones searching and finding answers.

[kaelen7]

@asshatcapn christians have nothing wrong with science, it is when theories are presented as facts. Also you are assuming that everyone believes in a big bang.

[SanRafaelSwell]

@kaelen7

You obviously have no idea what the word "theory" means in science.  Please go to school and stop embarrassing yourself.

[SanRafaelSwell]

@Worldofturtles111

Who claimed that science and nature contradict each other? Nature is the natural world. God is supernatural and thus is not part of nature, just so you know. Science explains nature (the natural world). I think you don't really know what you are talking about, sorry.

[Pazma1]

Simpsons did it!

[JJHdisney]

3 billion degrees......in 3 seconds? 1 billion degfree increases per second?

[JJHdisney]

@JJHdisney *degree*

[Square92]

@JJHdisney Imagine all the lifetime energy of the sun released in 3 seconds...

[JJHdisney]

@Square92 impressive for 1 sun. Sorry or not spelling degree correct.

[desolator201]

Wow unreal! I feel special when I see a supernova

[SkyPh03n1x]

6 people were suck by blackhole

[nelsonvimalkumar]

i like this supernova veeery much

[mphet26]

i like history channel

[pausa831]

i got butterflys that made me a little nervous to know that

[golent]

the cosmic blue one is really funny looking i like it lol!!!

[MrAapenkind]

ITS A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!

[yokehuatgoh]

... no such thing as incompletely 100% true... "complete 100%" is redundant language. okay got better things to do... cherios..

[yubah2400]

@yokehuatgoh mmm cherios are good...

[yokehuatgoh]

just cos you don't understand the math involved in chrandraseka's limit, quantam physics etc, doesn't mean it isn't 100% true. it has been researched, developed, scrutinized, validated. it's the building blocks of our scientific understanding. that's science.. 1 + 1 = 2

secondly, you guys are so daft that you don't even realize gpstenholm contradicts himself. it is like saying no one can make sweeping statements, when i'd just made one. get it? dummies.. don't freak out okay. cheers..

[TheHunit123]

how did i get to here i was watching dogs talk

[yokehuatgoh]

right now, before me...

1 + 1 = 2

... I am 100% sure of this. this is completely 100% true.

awsucks, i said it.... :)

i'm a human, a scientist... and a philosopher too. don't freakout ok. cheers..

[22710001110101]

@yokehuatgoh you're insane

[sokkerking12345]

The first supernova was in China? Interesting. I knew China was big, but I didn't know it was /that/ big.

[worldwidesearch69]

@sokkerking12345 Witnessed.

[k9brawl11]

i bet that if they had minds that the star with the explosion wins

[Theonegamefreak]

Man, what a job.

[shield543]

3 Billion degrees fahrenheit? Room temperature for Chuck Norris

[Ingenious817]

There is an indie game about this very interesting..... The bigger star always sucks the mass around the smaller star if it wants or sucks the mass of whats orbiting it..... And when its biggest star it could get, if it meets its match ot something wrong happens, black holes are created and etc........

[Ingenious817]

[MrFrankdole]

but can your supercomputer run minecraft?

[Nightwing690]

@MrFrankdole troll

[caffiend81]

@MrFrankdole Imagine the awesomeness of a supercomputer running minecraft with 0.1mm-sized blocks! Digging tunnels would take an awfully long time, though. ;)

[nanotek2711]

oh wait 128000 computers work at once and take 60000 hours to get it done??? 7 years to make a simulation???

[Sylux9501]

Go to 6:50 for the simulation

Dont waste your time watching the others

[shield543]

@Sylux9501 What if I don't find it a waste of time to watch the others?

[48tank]

BONER !

[TheEchechech]

if you want to see a supernova give me a can of beans and a lighter.

[Diemedes]

8:58

Imagine this being Earth and someone is sitting in there, casually drinking a mojito while enjoying a summer vacation when that happens.

[TheGuyWithTheSniper]

@Diemedes Noone will be alive on the Earth by the time the Sun gets to be a red giant ;)

[CSSProductions2011]

no NONONONONO this was a sad sim

[solidityIam]

wow great video

[BaxterXenon]

God scientists are slow, seriously they're building flying cars now. But we haven't found anything momentous???

[potentialwell]

for our reading-challenged audience i'll quote myself "physically accurate? certainly"

[lkaruga]

Does anyone know if there will be a Season 6 of The Universe?

[tisilwm]

@lkaruga Curiosity. steven hawking talking about god creating the universe. it looks like something yu have to do shrooms befor watching

[InDestructibile]

i want a computer like that for Christmas

[sasoriXxxXsmexy]

so amazing <3

[GuitarSlinger2112]

Wow. The first supernova witnessed by man occured IN China? :p

[slugfly]

Thank you for uploading the whole clip and not putting crappy music over it.

[valarmanwe]

There`s plenty here I don`t understand. Not least, that an explosion can go through an entire star within a matter of a second. That would have to exceed light speed.

[Helge129]

@valarmanwe Not really. A white dwarf is about the size of the Earth. It takes Light half of a houndredth of a second to travel that distance.

[valarmanwe]

@Helge129 Got it. Thanks.

[YINGAI1995]

who got goosebumps when the narration was about to finish?

[TKgeniusHELLTX]

Don't divide by zero kids.



[TheVrum]

This video teach us an important thing:

Nature got the best graphic card ...

[moon77123]

LOL flash center

[zulubabo]

Ouch. It's gonna be pretty hot. Should buy some sunscreen

[Anastasie83]

Nothing in science is sure. Even the things we think are sure are almost 99% sure, but I think supernova s are very hypothetical at the moment. We have to see one close to learn from it.

[jwrosenbury]

The first supernova occurred in China? I don't think so.

[multitasker235]

@jwrosenbury First recorded supernova by humans. Not the first ever.

[DrewGuy88]

@jwrosenbury Lol i love the wording there

[APPOCALYYPS3]

@jwrosenbury hahahhaah.... THE FIRST SUPERNOVA OCCURED N CHINA ROFLMAO

[drKlitzman]

Ok so they sat and waited for it to render for 6.8 years? I think thats wayyyy to long.

[himynamesfather]

@keenenisfail is it? you could be a butterfly dreaming the life od being a human. just something to think about.

[vsvvvsss]

Why do they always add noise to the explosions? Isn't sup

pose to be realistic?

[JorickHorn]

@vsvvvsss It makes it more exciting.

[vsvvvsss]

Why do they always add noise to the explosions? Isn't suppose to be realistic?

[Hottides]

@vsvvvsss Presumably the nascent supernova explosion's very noisy indeed while still inside the star. Imagine the truly stellar cacophony that sounds when the shock waves reflect off the interior surfaces of the star's surface and its various internal layers, reverberating through and round the star and splitting into a virtual infinitude of harmonics during the fleeting seconds before its final thunderous detonation - a blast surpassing the combined lightning of a trillion worlds.

[dcl32]

I was looking through a telescope Saturday night towards the Dumbell Nebula and noticed a small flash that lasted about a second. I know it's probably not a pulsar because of the fact that I didn't see it occur again, and I doubt it was a supernova. I'm puzzled.

[oskerapple3]

6:00 to skip start :)

[vidman10123]

Vy canis majoris.....hyper nova.......big boom ...... Awesomenes

[BlackDrakoon]

Me ha parecido increible, aunque esta en ingles me he quedado con la boca abierta.

[afordian]

6000 hours and that all they have to show wow i got ripped off

[YaNaYyyM]

for this stupid simulatois they needed 1000000 presseccoers????!!!!!

[IAmTheWalrusGuy]

@YaNaYyyM no, some of the computers they use have 128,000 processors. Not One million. And yes, it takes alot of computing to make such a realistic and massive calculation.

[Renji9031]

All this means is that JJ Abrams was wrong. Spock and Nero would have not had enough warning to save Romulus anyway.

[JacobRudduck]

SEPHIROTH!......SEPHIROTH!! XD

[DaKluwn]

Why the fuck they simulate some boring stars. Everyone is interested in realistic computer games :D. Crysis 100 would be nice.

[potentialwell]

(see "On validating an astrophysical simulation code" in the Astrophysical Journal Supplements, November 2002).

Secondly, science is highly competitive. Scientists love nothing more than to tell each other they are wrong. No one has anything to gain from conspiring to say these are correct models of supernovae. In fact, one would be more inclined to deny the results so the funding that went into this project could be used by a different research group...say the one of said "deniers"

[potentialwell]

Firstly, the goal of these simulations is not to produce the pretty pictures shown in the video. Those are fun too look at, but more important aspects of the simulation are the amount of energy released in the burst, the types of nuclei made, and the length of the burst. All of these things can and have been compared with observational data. This simulation code has also been verified and validated with terrestrial experiments.

[syuoguhnaud]

wow they have like 260 proccessors to run that simulation? must be crappy computers that was a bad simulation lol

[Memlok117]

it was actually a pretty good simulation if you paid attention to what they were saying.

[potentialwell]

@syuoguhnaud visually appealing? perhaps not. physically accurate? certainly

[igotsquestions]

@potentialwell Are you retarded?! Its a simulation -- very accurate physically

[AfonsoCL]

@igotsquestions That's what he said -.-

[abonawas]

fake.....this was a squid in the water with nice photography methods made to look like explosion or it was a virus of sorts under a microscope.....those scientists will do anything to justify their huge budgets where they do nothig biut sit all night smoking weed and looking at the stars....nuf said

[ultrachri]

@abonawas I have one thing to say to you..

TURN DOWN YOUR STUPID PLS!!!!!!

[potentialwell]

@abonawas i'm willing to bet you didn't graduate from college

[IAmTheWalrusGuy]

@abonawas Wow... I sincerely hope that you're troll-baiting. Either that, or you're one of those super-radical christian types who believe that the dinosaurs never existed.

[gpstenholm23]

+0CitaBean0+

No human... scientist or not... can say anything is complete 100% true... so hence we can only "think"... at this time with data avalible its how we think it happens...

If he had said, I am 100% sure this is how this ( or anything ) works or happens... then i would worry bout his thoughts on the matter

[OriginOfPurpose]

@gpstenholm23 what about existence?

I think your argument contradicts itself...

[MrKroniQ]

@gpstenholm23 2+2=4 and i am 100% sure of that

[roadkill1001]

@MrKroniQ Thats mathematical proof however, he is on about life it's self.

[rogerdotlee]

@gpstenholm23 I disagree. There are many humans that say and have said that things are 100% certain. History is positively littered with them. However, them actually BEING 100% certain, and simultaneously 100% correct, is another matter indeed. Your second statement is, of course, in 100% verifiable agreement with mine, differing only in the fact that I wouldn't worry about his thoughts; they're already wildly suspect. I'd warn all around that there's a loon on the loose and call his handler.

[NScott45]

@gpstenholm23 2+2=4 and I am 100% sure of that.

You can't say you're 100% sure for anything belonging to the physical universe. But for things that don't belong to the physical universe, like concepts, you can. That's the very reason why math is not considered a science. It's unfalsifiable. It's just pure facts built one on top of the others. And you can trust it 100% of the time. Mathematical statements do not need a universe, let alone ours. Physics does.

[17thNova]

@gpstenholm23 would you say your 100% sure people think this way?

[0CitaBean0]

3:29 aha "we think" lol losers...

[JudgeTD]

"we know" would make him an idiot (like you) besaurse when something happens like, 1000 lightyears away, you dont "know" anything......

[IAmTheWalrusGuy]

@0CitaBean0 They can never 'know' what happens without observing the star up-close. Anyway, they certainly aren't losers, as they have probably graduated college, whereas you have most definetely not.
