  • Awesome video James!

    Ok, weird question coming your way;

    Do you think we will ever be able to control the rotation or tilt of the Earth? Do you it is at all possible sometime WAY in the future when we're more advanced.

    It would be awesome to have summer all year round in Canada. lol

  • @KelzLife What a question! Yeah I'm sure we could if we really really wanted to but there are probably far easier ways to control the climate.

  • Cheers for the reponse :) Al

  • @MsPureFiction007 Lol thanks for finally watching. I kinda rushed the moon phases bit though.

  • Wow, very informative, I truly enjoyed it.

  • Newtonian theory which is adequate for this description says that the gravitational force IS PROPORTIONAL ro the product of the masses divided by the distance squared - not as your video has equal to. The more modern theory due to Einstein tells a subtly different story but uses a different idea to explain how gravity works - the distortion of spacetime.

  • @johncrwarner I'll add an annotation.

  • @YesIamJames

    Thanks - there is a constant of 6.67300 × 10^-11 or G that can be added.

  • @johncrwarner I don't want to over complicate it. I just made the video to show the basics. If I make another more detailed video about it I'll make sure to include it. I thought the gravitational constant was 6.7428.

  • @YesIamJames

    6.673 x 10 raised to the power of minus eleven metres cubed divided by seconds squared and kilograms

    the last digit might be inaccurate at it is known to only 1 in 10 000 as opposed to the unlike other constants that have been measured to 1 in 100 000 000 000

  • Do you know what time of the day the lunar and solar eclipse will be?

  • @OukaKisa

    In principle these are known to the millisecond.

  • @johncrwarner I am wondering what time the lunar and solar eclipses he was saying would happen soon would be =3 I want to see them and wouldn't totally want to waste my time if I was on the wrong side of the Earth =P (and I'm usually to busy w/ YouTube to look stuff up on the internet =P )

  • @OukaKisa

    It is necessary for the sun, moon and earth to be lined up and then there is a region of the earth's surface called the umbra where you get a full eclipse, the antumbra where you see a ring and the penumbra also called a partial eclipse. So it is both space and time dependent.

  • @johncrwarner I knew that o.O

  • @OukaKisa It depends on your location. Try this site.
