@bloodyvamp77 the fruit wasnt magical it was forbidden. the snake was temptation. he put them there to test adam and eves faith to god. as we all know they chose beauty and power. i see where you might think that he set them up for failure but it was to test their faith. he knows everything and i admit i dont know why he doesnt stop all the things happening in the world. punishment maybe? there are contradictions i admit but all religions have contradictions except Atheism where there is no god.
@Bdog332 Atheism is NOT a religion. I am sick of people making that claim. Atheism is a lack of belief in any god being or whatever you want to call it. Each atheist has their own views and it does not mean it is a religion.
@wes5020 ok. i didnt mean to make it sound like i thought it was. all of my atheist friends call it a religion because they beleive in a higher power, not necesaarily god. i have no problem with atheists and im not gonna change your beliefs or try to. thats not what i do. believe what you want and if everyone would just accept that their religion is the perfect religion, things would go way smoother than they do now
I got a little heated so I apologize if I came off as an asshole. I just got sick of people claiming it was a religion. But hey, glad we could discuss this reasonably and without tearing each others throats out.
@bloodyvamp77 yes we cant know untill we are dead or if there is a god as i beleive there is jesus returns. but he wont in any time soon. so we wont know untill we die. you could say im optimmistic but i mainly understand both concepts of science and religion and know where they belong
Religion and science are two different concepts. Religion is a system of beliefs. Science is a bunch of theories tested and if proven can become scientific law. I am a Christian but I understand that we can't prove Jesus ever existed or that the Jewish faith crucified him. I can't prove that. I can prove that stars are formed by gas and strong gravity forces and that planets are formed from either gases (like our gas giants) or from solids and other matter in the universe (like Earth)
We are living on a planet on which 9of10 people have some kind of psychological problems, and 1of10 has an obesity problem 2 some degree-in short,mankind has changed a lot and he definitely hasn't become anything better than he was a century ago. So instead of blaming this or that faith[almost all of which preach tolerance and love in some shape or another] we should look into mirror and start from ourselves. I am tired of listenin to people who doesnt know a squat about what theyre talkin bout
there are but probably they called them gods cause they didnt had another word for it.. they were probably aliens:) extra terrestials that came from the "heavens" in fiery chariots
What a turnoff, I look at the comments expecting to see relevant posts and all I see is religious banter. God or no God, I don't want to see this argument on every scientific video that I look at.
God is the one that allowed your pea brain to function, "let there be light" was a simplistic way to tell of an event, that is far to complicated to explain in a few words, and like all great story tellers, He wants the book of History and Life to unfold and feed upon itself, ever expanding.....so you won't run out of things to study.
This is cool because I have created many Art images of planets/stars/nebulae In photoshop. I'd love to be an Artist for newly found planets & stars. But I'm not quite good enough yet + I wouldn't know how to be a contributor with the images.

@de0509 We are made of atoms, and this atom wanting to think and seek questions about itself and the surrounding universe, is much more weird than "God" and yet makes more sense than "Let there be light". God only exist out of necessity to people who don't want to be bothered with questions like why the sky is blue. Now we know why the sky is blue and God went away, hopefully to quantum physics.
@shoa31 what do u mean "atom" want to think. we r the ones doing the thinking. i dunno about ur guys bibles. no wonder many of u guys bcome atheists. but ours r better. it says god created the earth frm smoke (nebula). and it also states about the barrier btween salt water and fresh water and again true it exists, theres more actually. i believe in what i believe coz its impossible someone 1500 years ago can write those facts without anyone in the modern world could oppose if he is fake prophet
You have not grasp the concept that we are made out of atoms, nothing else but atoms. And for some reason, the atoms becomes conscious, open it's eyes and wonder about itself. In other words, the atoms can now move when it wants to and wherever it wants to. How radiation can harm us only because we are atoms. Our DNA is pure atom, isn't it? I don't know how a God with beard and a toga fit into this.
@shoa31 hahaha. "we r made of atoms" are kids stuff. we feel and think with chemicals, the hormones and the electricity passing through neurons. but i dont think the atoms of our body itself think. and i dont think god has any similarity to creations. we humans and other stuff existed are creations, and we die, do mistakes and stuff. dont liken those qualities to god. we animals need hair to keep warm. if god is great, god will not feel cold, or pain ar anything. god is great
@de0509 God is like Superman then, and Clark Kent when he comes down to earth to visit his creation. A Muslim car bomb went off and now Clark Kent is dead. Oh well, all we can depend on now is our scientific knowledge and our instinct.
@shoa31 haha. maybe yes. anyway, its hard to find the real religion. so many different ones in the world now. need to see all of em inside out and value ourselves.... -__-
you guys bickering on these types of videos is ridiculous! I bet if we dropped you off in space you'd be so cold and lonely you'd beg to be with the people your being a jerk too, by the way... this vid rocks!!!
this is all too beautiful! i love science.. to be less vague.. i love astronomy. I also appreciate how far we the human race have gone through the use of the Scientific Method and can only wonder about how far things will go in to the future. Thank you for the upload. WOO SCIENCE ROCKS!
We cant with the technology we have today get enough speed on a rocket so it can reach the goal within a tolerable time scale. We need to find a way to minimize the distance to the planets. How do we minimize the distance without using more energy. It has something to do with building up some kind of a laboratory out in the space and then take another step from there. There you got it is there something more you want me to find out?-:)
I find it sad that any video with hannah montana or justine beiber in it while get more views than this one. I wish the younger generation weren't so stupid, what happened to the kids that dreams of being astronauts? Now all they want to grow up to be is skaters and teenage moms.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Boring, boring, BORING! I would much rather listen to someone like "Dr." Kent Hovind esteemed scientist and archaeologist! Dr. Hovind was wrongfully thrown in prison where he is forced into hard labor as a result of him debunking "evil"ution! Dr. Hovind is an articulate, passionate, 'honest', hard working man of God! Give him the respect that a revered man of the cloth deserves!
thank you and may God bless all of you if you open your hearts to Jesus!
Yeah, you WOULD find scientific progress boring compared to your usual religious hindering.
And Hovind was a criminal, trying to use the nonsense he spouted to get around paying taxes. Nonsense that even teachers of theistic evolution said was complete bull. He was an opportunistic con artist that just wasn't very good at it, and he got caught.
@99minerkc I care, when retards like yourself lack the understanding to propose a creative argument and just spam ignoramous dogma instead. Think before you type.
@99minerkc Kent Hovind was thrown in jail for tax evasion and tax fraud, not because he spoke against evolution. You should see what he looks like today, with all his neo-Nazi tattoos.
Also, Hovind didn't graduate from a credible school so his degree is meaningless and isn't really a doctor/scientist.
@isaachaze1 Fortunately for me I will be going to heaven, BUT unfortunately for you, you're on your way to ETERNAL pain/suffering! YOU MUST REPENT AND CONVERT from your vile behavior! REPENT, REPENT NOW before it's too late, and you are damed to hell where the molten heat and fires will burn your flesh from the bone! That's just the beginning, after your soul separate from your body the real pain begins! I'll look down at you from heaven and smile as I see your screaming in pain!! :)
@99minerkc This HAS to be parody :). In the event that it isn't, then wow, you would really be super excited to watch someone be tortured? That's pretty interesting. Anyway, trust me, I'm not losing any sleep about the possibility of going to hell :). But yea, enjoy your penchent for torturing and have a good life :). And whotf says "repent" anymore? lol, that was a nice touch
@99minerkc Your words apply to yourself but not to me. I'm a man who seeks the absolute truth through knowledge. There is no room for me to lie. You, on the other hand, is all you can do, especially to yourself.
Good point. Hope enough people realize that this IS a temporary stay on this planet and getting a life-raft set up is probably a good idea. O'l Sol over here is gonna start getting cranky and begin expanding rendering this planet among others into uninhabitable space debris or WORSE. Sometimes, I do wonder if it WILL be later and not sooner. I ain't gonna be around to see it anyway so ''Meh'' but part of me does hope we humans get off this rock and explore.At least we're starting
@Cheegro i disagree, i think that until we find a way to live on our very own rock we don`t deserve to even think of making a multi-billion space program yeah of course we should figure out a way to get off it but not until we learn to live together it`s stupid: why would we live better on another planet or just in a space ship. most of our problems are ones that we will bring to space so why bother until we`v figured it out
Disagreement noted but really? that's your point? Wait and make sure human beings can get along FIRST so that we can THEN go out and spend resources and research into actually exploring?
Dude, back when these land masses called continents separated worlds, nobody was waiting for people to settle down and shake hands. Part of what drove humans to make trips in ships of wood and sail to a new world was called wonder. Greed yeah, ambitionyes, but that IS what a human is. That's not gonna change.
@Cheegro yeah ofc i`d rather see humans spread out into the galaxy as they are, rather than not at all as well but we don`t actually need to leave earth for a long time yet and even if we did what would it do to us to leave let`s say we get to mars there`s disasters there too i`d prefer that we figured out how to live in cooperation before we left for space. well it would be good anyway
Well yeah I do agree that our human relations dept is a heck of a tangled web. But I still disagree with waiting to ''Figure out'' how to cooperate first and then go out into space. Not gonna happen, it just won't. Humans are what else, Human. Add that to the depletion of natural resources, growing populations and good old fashion warfare. Conflict will always exist. Well disasters in mars should be dealt with (if possible) with the collective research of exploring in the first place. Today.
@Choowbz I'd apply it doubly to war spending. The "wars" we're currently involved are more like massive frauds than real wars. I worry a lot that we'll exhaust our ability to pay for defense at just about the time we actually find a need for some. But interstellar travel is a pipe dream will never be practical on anything like the current base of technology. Propose to spend money developing alternative means to get into low earth orbit and I'd say you have something worth paying into.
Robert, do know know that there are people on the internet who say such things seriously? Not just as a joke. And when you go to their own channels, reactions are always turned off, or moderated.
Could they theoretically make a visible light telescope using interferometry by having, say, four telescopes at 90 degree angles in relation to the sun, all orbiting it at 1AU? If so, perhaps then we could resolve these star systems directly.
@steverooni99 Every republican and democrat who has ever run for president has claimed to believe in God. It's something you have to say if you want to have any chance to be elected president in today's society. It's a shame, but that's how it is. However, you can bet your ass that not all of those people who claimed it were actually telling the truth.
You know, some of the most interesting, and most important projects of science, is at a standstill because they haven't got enough money to fund the project.
Really? Projects that could take humans among the stars, find extraterrestrial life etc. Do you think they should rely on how much money they've got?
We should make a cost-free project, with everyone working on it, not because they want money, but because they WANT to make progress in scientific research.
@Valkes Good for you - but don't expect others to exhibit the same kind of devotion or lack of interest in family and friends (i.e. life outside of work) to be acting the same. But please let me know when you work 40 hours a week for nothing but three meals a day - it'll never happen. More on that, the whole idea of a non-compensatory model is destructive to the competition between any entity, and will only produce worse results than a high salary workforce, which attracts the brightest minds.
@ChallengeDK Lawl, you make assertions for which you've no evidence, which fail to impress. If your only motive is profit then I wish you luck. Mine is advancement, and you'll find that anyone truly interested in science agrees with my position more readily than yours. Money is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. I might point out that just about every technological advancement of note in the last 100 years has been made by people seeking the knowledge, not paid RnD.
@Valkes Profit seekers has driven this world since the industrial revolution. They are to thank for the computer you sit by right now, the plane you fly home for Christmas in, even the future of space exploration is in the hands of profit motivated, private companies. Profit can be an end in itself, as profit is the best indicator of demand and efficiency there is. Profits are not harmful in any way, they help to allocate resources to where they are most needed, and thus creates economic growth
@Valkes (cont.) paving way for even more funds being allocated to the field, resulting in much better science, much sooner. It's simple economics, really, and it takes no rocket scientist to understand. Your idea of no compensation isn't simply naive, it's to a large degree destructive to the end that you so long for yourself.
@ChallengeDK That's categorically false. there have been countless cases where people who are being paid money to do research fudge the results to please the people paying them.
@ChallengeDK You go tell Jobs, Wozniak, Gates, the Wright brothers, ect. ect. ect. that working without salary produces worse results. You tell them all about how they're not the brightest minds. History is against you sir. Get wrecked scrub.
@Valkes No, history is certainly not against me. A lot of innovations have been made trough no compensation at all - but the application of the innovations (that is introducing them in forms that benefits and is used by real people) has all been advanced in the free enterprise system, and innovative improvements upon the first idea are all being made by profit seekers. That's how the free enterprise system works, and it does it better than any other system - it creates economic growth.
@Valkes BTW. every single NASA project is done on a contract basis (both in terms of materials and working people), because they know that private corporations are much better at delivering the stuff they need. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone working for nothing during the Apollo missions (where over 11 times as many were hired in private companies and institutions than worked for NASA itself).
@ChallengeDK The assertion that private companies produce better results is simply false. let to their own devices a private company will produce results that are good enough to beat competition, if there is no competition then they'll produce results that are just good enough to avoid being sued. Government regulators which in each of those companies to make sure everything they're producing is to spec.
@ChallengeDK also, just because we live in a capitalistic system doesn't mean that the sole motive of those people is financial. if you ask the people why they became engineers, scientists, ect. Most of them will say "Because I thought it would be a cool job" You don't devote the amount of time, and effort it requires to be one of those people just cause it pays well.
@Valkes No, of course not. People are driven by a good life, and life in which they are surrounded by people they care about. Choosing what to work with is a weighing of costs, mainly the costs of not doing what you'd really like to do and the cost of not receiving what you could in pay. With hard work virtually anybody could become a doctor, but if that's not what you want to do, you'd be willing to give up the higher salary for something that you'd rather do. It's simple logic.
@Valkes From where did you get the impression that Jobs, Wozniak, Gates or the Wright brothers does or did not make any money off their innovations? Jobs is paid a dollar a year or something to that effect, but he receives a very generous stock option compensation - and to claim that Wozniak or Gates are poor individuals working for nothing is simply laughable. The same goes for Jobs and the Wright brothers.
@ChallengeDK Wozniak built the first apple computer to impress the people in the computer club at Berkeley, he built it without pay. Gates dropped out of college to write basic for the Altair, he did this with minimal pay. You asserted that " non-compensatory model is destructive to the competition between any entity, and will only produce worse results than a high salary workforce" those are two examples which indicate that you are incorrect in your assertion.
@Valkes There's plenty of great minds throughout history who have built things under the assumption that it wouldn't yield one dime in the short or medium run - but that doesn't change the fact that in order to attract the best and the brightest you'd have to either pay the guy a lot or offer him very favorable future income. The fast is that profit (pay in this example) is the best allocator of resources known. But see what happened to Gates. If he didn't care he'd give ALL his money from day 1
@ChallengeDK Computers, planes, cars, all of these things were invented by people who simply had the urge to create, and expand human knowledge. Later these things were used for profit, sure. But we're not talking about what people did with their inventions, we're talking about why they created them to begin with.
@Valkes No we are not. We are talking the application of new ideas and of hard working scientists. The Internet, the car and the plane would all have been for naught had it not been for profiteers. I cannot believe the kind of economic illiteracy I have to deal with in here. I thought you guys were supposed to be smart - that you could even suggest that the free market system doesn't produce better outcomes than a communist one is simply laughable and is a testament to your lack of knowledge.
@chulk607 Only because someone decided it is! The money it's bought with doesn't actually exist, it's just a few numbers on a screen, those same numbers put us in a global recession because someone lost a load of money which never existed in the first place! People have just been condition to thing that bits of paper and numbers on screens have actual worth.
@kartug01 i'm sure people would WANT to work just for progress, but some people have more important things like actually STAYING ALIVE. Not everyone has a ridiculous amount of money to be able to pay for their families and work for free.
@Ecksplisit Science like this doesn't pay well compared to what you can get going to the private sector with a physics degree but it most defiantly pays a livable wage for a family.
@kartug01 I've always wondered why people worry about spending money on space exploration. The truth is the money doesn't disappear it just goes round and round.
@kartug01 yes but scientist also need money to live, no body spend a full time of their live with no retribution, remember scientist are also human beings and they have families to suport
How come the comment section of every single BestOfScience video is filled with religion vs. science discussions and political statements? Seriously, why would anyone be watching this video be starting a discussion on the bible or - of all things - poverty? You guys make no sense at all. Why can't we use a great resource like BestOfScience as a catalyst for expanding our own knowledge and discuss the subject at hand: Science? WHY always religion and politics?
Wonderful video. It's art like this has most inspired my imagination and my love of ponrdering over what might be out there.

We cant with the technology we have today get enough speed on a rocket so it can reach the goal within a tolerable time scale. We need to find a way to minimize the distance to the planets. How do we minimize the distance without using more energy. It has something to do with building up some kind of a laboratory out in the space and then take another step from there. There you got it is there something more you want me to find out?-:)

Boring, boring, BORING! I would much rather listen to someone like "Dr." Kent Hovind esteemed scientist and archaeologist! Dr. Hovind was wrongfully thrown in prison where he is forced into hard labor as a result of him debunking "evil"ution! Dr. Hovind is an articulate, passionate, 'honest', hard working man of God! Give him the respect that a revered man of the cloth deserves!

Yeah, you WOULD find scientific progress boring compared to your usual religious hindering.
And Hovind was a criminal, trying to use the nonsense he spouted to get around paying taxes. Nonsense that even teachers of theistic evolution said was complete bull. He was an opportunistic con artist that just wasn't very good at it, and he got caught.

Also, Hovind didn't graduate from a credible school so his degree is meaningless and isn't really a doctor/scientist.

@Cheegro i disagree, i think that until we find a way to live on our very own rock we don`t deserve to even think of making a multi-billion space program yeah of course we should figure out a way to get off it but not until we learn to live together it`s stupid: why would we live better on another planet or just in a space ship. most of our problems are ones that we will bring to space so why bother until we`v figured it out

Disagreement noted but really? that's your point? Wait and make sure human beings can get along FIRST so that we can THEN go out and spend resources and research into actually exploring?
Dude, back when these land masses called continents separated worlds, nobody was waiting for people to settle down and shake hands. Part of what drove humans to make trips in ships of wood and sail to a new world was called wonder. Greed yeah, ambitionyes, but that IS what a human is. That's not gonna change.

Well yeah I do agree that our human relations dept is a heck of a tangled web. But I still disagree with waiting to ''Figure out'' how to cooperate first and then go out into space. Not gonna happen, it just won't. Humans are what else, Human. Add that to the depletion of natural resources, growing populations and good old fashion warfare. Conflict will always exist. Well disasters in mars should be dealt with (if possible) with the collective research of exploring in the first place. Today.

But please let me know when you work 40 hours a week for nothing but three meals a day - it'll never happen.

Valkes 1 year ago
@Valkes No, history is certainly not against me. A lot of innovations have been made trough no compensation at all - but the application of the innovations (that is introducing them in forms that benefits and is used by real people) has all been advanced in the free enterprise system, and innovative improvements upon the first idea are all being made by profit seekers. That's how the free enterprise system works, and it does it better than any other system - it creates economic growth.

@Valkes BTW. every single NASA project is done on a contract basis (both in terms of materials and working people), because they know that private corporations are much better at delivering the stuff they need. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone working for nothing during the Apollo missions (where over 11 times as many were hired in private companies and institutions than worked for NASA itself).
ChallengeDK 1 year ago
@ChallengeDK The assertion that private companies produce better results is simply false. let to their own devices a private company will produce results that are good enough to beat competition, if there is no competition then they'll produce results that are just good enough to avoid being sued. Government regulators which in each of those companies to make sure everything they're producing is to spec.

@ChallengeDK also, just because we live in a capitalistic system doesn't mean that the sole motive of those people is financial. if you ask the people why they became engineers, scientists, ect. Most of them will say "Because I thought it would be a cool job" You don't devote the amount of time, and effort it requires to be one of those people just cause it pays well.
Valkes 1 year ago
@Valkes No, of course not. People are driven by a good life, and life in which they are surrounded by people they care about. Choosing what to work with is a weighing of costs, mainly the costs of not doing what you'd really like to do and the cost of not receiving what you could in pay. With hard work virtually anybody could become a doctor, but if that's not what you want to do, you'd be willing to give up the higher salary for something that you'd rather do. It's simple logic.
ChallengeDK 1 year ago
@Valkes From where did you get the impression that Jobs, Wozniak, Gates or the Wright brothers does or did not make any money off their innovations? Jobs is paid a dollar a year or something to that effect, but he receives a very generous stock option compensation - and to claim that Wozniak or Gates are poor individuals working for nothing is simply laughable. The same goes for Jobs and the Wright brothers.
ChallengeDK 1 year ago
@ChallengeDK Wozniak built the first apple computer to impress the people in the computer club at Berkeley, he built it without pay. Gates dropped out of college to write basic for the Altair, he did this with minimal pay. You asserted that " non-compensatory model is destructive to the competition between any entity, and will only produce worse results than a high salary workforce" those are two examples which indicate that you are incorrect in your assertion.
Valkes 1 year ago
@Valkes There's plenty of great minds throughout history who have built things under the assumption that it wouldn't yield one dime in the short or medium run - but that doesn't change the fact that in order to attract the best and the brightest you'd have to either pay the guy a lot or offer him very favorable future income. The fast is that profit (pay in this example) is the best allocator of resources known. But see what happened to Gates. If he didn't care he'd give ALL his money from day 1

@ChallengeDK Computers, planes, cars, all of these things were invented by people who simply had the urge to create, and expand human knowledge. Later these things were used for profit, sure. But we're not talking about what people did with their inventions, we're talking about why they created them to begin with.

@Valkes No we are not. We are talking the application of new ideas and of hard working scientists. The Internet, the car and the plane would all have been for naught had it not been for profiteers. I cannot believe the kind of economic illiteracy I have to deal with in here.
