Treasure Trove Of Intergalactic Metal

[alaudun2]

Please make more videoes on space Chemistry. I enjoyed this one very much.

[TK42138]

Yes, sell your planet for cash - best prices paid. We'll beat any quote.

[ALaudun]

I would like to hear more about how stars make metals.

[rgzdev]

First the Kaguya lunar probe and now Suzaku! Gotta love Japanese spacecraft.

[gulllars]

Before i saw the channel this video was from, i thought it was a new music video...

Really interesting video.

[JonO387]

There are new music videos? I didn't think anyone showed music videos anymore.

[RESTLINXXX]

if i am not wrong metal is produced also from our sun i mean many wears ago when the earth's surface was not formed cause the products of the chemical reactions in sun's surface form heavier elements that's why we find metals underground anyway very intresting video

[nickharvey7]

Interesting video

If the laws of physics are the same at all places and at all times why is there so much interesting structure in the Universe?

In my video The Paradox of Schrodingers Cat an artist view Time has symmetry and geometry could this explain why we see such beauty.

[tacoma200]

Awsome!

[theshredator]

intergalactic metal  \m/

[MetalHeadWasHere]

lol

[evilelton]

HAHAHAHAHA, fantastic comment!

[Saktoth]

@TheBobLives

We may be the only intelligent life in the galaxy, perhaps the universe. We are the most complex arrangement of matter known, capable of understanding the universe itself.

You use words like 'worthless', 'matter', and 'noticed'. We are the only ones who can set worth, or matter, or notice anything. Life is the only thing in the universe capable of such judgements. If we die, we will not be missed: there will be noone to miss us. Which is why there is nothing more important than us.

[Paxmax]

Saktoth said: "there is nothing more important than us"

Haha. sorry... I had to laugh! =o)

I find it quite humorous that many people find us as a specie "important"... we can't even impress chimps.

We are ONLY important to ourselves, our selfish gene says so.

Take one step back and look at us and we are laughable...

But still I enjoy a walk in the forest like many others... I do not have a bleak outlook on life, just in the bigger picture we are next to nothing... yet.

[Saktoth]

@Paxmax

You misunderstand. Humour, impressing, importance, selfishness, laughableness, these are all qualities that are only possible with sentient, thinking life in the universe capable of beholding and making judgements about it.

For better or worse, these concepts do not exist in a universe without us in them: Indeed, no concepts exist, merely the mechanistic universe ticking blindly away. That is why we are important: we are the only ones who can decide what is important.

[Paxmax]

Saktoth said: "impressing, importance, selfishness, laughableness, these are all qualities that are only possible with sentient"

Do not forget that apes, monkeys both have social structures and share alot of human traits such as: selfishness, anger, compassion, betrayal, grudges, cooperation, ostracism, loyalty et.c.

Saktoth said: "we are the only ones who can decide what is important"

Not necessarily... but without evidence I'll have to concede the point, but only so far it concern us

[Saktoth]

@Paxmax

The 'We' i am talking about are intelligent, sentient life forms. Not simply humans. I am a transhumanist, and thus believe that it is our destiny to replace ourselves with something better, more complex, more intelligent- perhaps machine, perhaps biological. However, even that requires humans.

[Paxmax]

@Saktoth

Ah, yeah, I'm also aboard that train...

Going to be some fierce competition between "biological" upgrades and "electronic" upgrades. Or maybe they will just accompany each other.

Oh and the "pure breed" ethics of coz... the future "book thumpers".

[Ravindra9689]

Suzaku= Phoenix...kinda (Japanese)...just a fun fact.

[xIntoThePitx]

Just call up The Professor to place an order and Fry, Lila and Bender can go get it.

[Percadan]

Space factories? Sign me up, I'll go work there.

[TheFifthApes]

@TheBobLives watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk

[LimmingKenny]

And down goes the value of precious metals!

[anthonzi]

how are they rare and precious if they exist in quantities greater than 30 million times the mass of our sun?

[doogtoog]

It's not a matter of how much is in the universe, it's a matter of how common. Like the video said, that area is the only known place outside our solar system with a detectable amount of either of those metals. It may be in a large quantity there, but almost none is located anywhere else.

[Anonoo]

that quantity lies far from Earth, so try getting some. Also, even with that vast quantity, as compared to the quantity of other elements throughout the known universe, it is rare and precious. you have to get some perspective.

[Simo102102]

Jackpot! There we build the next galactic goldmine! :)

[WardancerHB]

I would have prefered if they had not only told the numbers but showed them as well. That'd be easier to follow, despite that........wow!

[Gnug215]

Heavy metal, dude!

[Gesmehod]

Great Scott! It's the Uber-Collossal Chrome-Dome of Awesome-Sauce!

[nsleon22]

woah..

[Snowflake70]

Excellent info. A bit confusing. Am I to understand that all the glorious pictures of Hubble etc., are of GAS?

[anthonzi]

they've always been of gas/stars?

[WERTY1112]

How lucky we are live in this time!

[CoolConejo]

You may say how lucky we are to live in this part of time, But i am bit jealous of what our Kids, Kids, Kids will be able to discover and witness. I sort of wish i was borne several generations from now. But then again, If i was i may be saying the same thing : P

[TheFartoholic]

yeah, I sometimes think the same

[WERTY1112]

Not an easy topic really. Imo The future is in the here and now. I am happy living in this time period, atleast in the true science arena.

[anglaismoyen]

No, not extremely small- infinitely small.

As in 1 minus 9.999...

...

:O

[anglaismoyen]

If the universe is infinitely big then I am infinitely small, therefore I don't exist.

...

:O

[0pnMnded]

@anglaismoyen, Think of it this way, you are always exactly in the middle of infinity. While there may be something infinitely bigger than you, there is also something infinitely smaller than you. Everything at every scale would be exactly in the middle of infinity.

That is hypothetically speaking.=D

[TheMathKing]

It would effectivively be like that. However it is finite and does have a shape, apparently.

[anglaismoyen]

I suppose what I suggested was effectively a Zeno's paradox, which is fun but not practical.

I get what you mean. Plus, I think it's more complicated than 'distances' getting smaller or bigger to infinity because of other dimensions, the way atoms behave and so on.

[NexIuguolo]

Sweet, one day we can chrome plate everything on the planet.

[pronoob1983]

saturn's rings first. Then we can show the aliens who gots the biggest rims! 4.8 Billion inches little green man!

[Morrakiu]

Well, now I know where to start my mining operations in order to build my droid army. Thank you, science.

[logoth80]

those numbers are just scary...

[NicosMind]

At last!! Enough metal to build my very own death star!! *Evil laugh*

[EdwardHowton]

Isn't it interesting that the metal you'd use to build a Death Star is created in the death of stars?

[netsoj]

100% fake

[defect530]

how is something worth so much when there is a crap load of it?if there was gold every it would not be worth nothing.

[niiidar]

The price of a certain metal or alloy or whatever is decided by how much there is on the earth... Not how much there is in the universe.

[marsCubed]

@niiidar It is probably truer to say that price is more closely related to how much work is required to get something.

Water is abundant, however to get a drinkable form usually requires a treatment plant.

likewise, price of gold is related to how many tonnes of soil has to be processed to get hold of a quantity of it.

Biggest component is usually labour.

Chromium in space does not affect price here for the same reason,

getting it to market would be (beyond) a great deal of work, thus expensive.

[Saukko31]

Those who like to go space mining, there are closer objects than that, take for example asteroid Amun, in contains 30 times more metals than has been mined on Earth through history of humanity, estimated value of 20 trillion dollars.

[Ansonidak]

Excellent point Saukko31. There are thousands of metal rich asteroids right here in the solar system and that's not even counting the other planets and moons. There is no need to fantasize about interstellar voyages and intergalactic treasure.. There is enough riches and adventure right here in the solar system to keep us busy for thousands of years.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

Amun was indeed once considered metallic but not anymore.

[jaywolfe82]

I here by claim that lode for Earth and it's human population.

[jesse0192]

Reminds me of "sy borg" by frank zappa. "Give me da chromium leg...guh!"

[TehBlackFox]

T...t...treasure nebula! The loot of a thousand worlds! xD

[diegopmc]

That's where the movie "The Pirates of the Local Cluster" will be shot in a few thousand years from now.

[wallofjustin]

Wow, 2nd video in a few hours! Love this channel =)

[KaelHunter]

Damn it i was gonna do that! ^

[Emolian]

Douche.
