shit burning up in the atmosphere makes the ash and stuff fall down to earth, therefore making the earth heavier..... not by much... but heavier none the less
@Dalemoooooon if the stuff that burned up came from space then yes, the earth would be slightly heavier. i think the question was about if the earth was heavier because there's more people though.
If your rearrange the equation, mass=energy/c^2. If energy decreases, mass decreases. Energy increases mass increases. Im not sure how i can make it clearer... umm okay
One unit of energy is the joule. Are you with me so far?
okay. 1 joule is 1 kg*(meters/second)squared
so if you have 2 joules of energy, you have 2kg*meters^2/seconds^2.
@IrishknifeRD because two things are in the same equation doesn't necessarily mean they're the same thing. it means they are proportional. say, for example, the number of apples i can buy depends on how many oranges i sell. 2o=a. o being oranges, a being apples. oh wait, they are in the same equation together! this means that apples equal oranges! i'm done wasting time with you. goodbye jackass.
The only reason there is weight on earth is because of a magnetic pull towards the inside of it...so what is the earth being pulled by to even give it weight?
@wwemania321 The buildings came from materials already found on the Earth therefore its weight will not be alterred. You can't create matter out of nothing, it has to come from something else already in existence.
the earth is "weighing more" but not because of people. space dust and metiorites add to earths mass but weight is dependant on gravity and as the mass of the eatth increases so does the gravity
basicly it only icreases slightly but not due to more "stuff" on earth it comes from outer space, nothing is created or destroyed on eatch but is added to by space......
@lazy4295 Nothing should "weigh" anything if you think of weight like that. Weight is just gravity force.
But the correct way: Things have MASS. The Earth has mass, it IS made up of matter, and not NOTHING.
Besides, you can't really think of objects in space and compare them to objects on a planet in terms of how they don't weigh anything because weight just doesn't apply to any part of the universe without gravity. But everything has mass.
@lazy4295 in one way you are right because weight is mass x gravity so they can have a mass but there is not gravity pulling it down so it cant have a weight
@sharkey4123 lol i know all that but like when u r standing on a scale, ur weight is actually mass x the gravitational force that is why the gravitational force on earth is 10 kg per newton and our mass is what our weight is. so on the scale it says i am lets say 72 KG my weight is actually 720 KG that is why they say the mass of earth or a mass of a planet is blah blah blah because mass is the actual weight ilke on the moon the gravitational force is 0.6 kg per newton and on mars it is 4k/N
You said it yourself. I am completely aware of the difference between mass and weight. I never mentioned mass or weight in my comment so there was no need for an explanation.
The Earth is in the Sun's gravitational pull. Therefore it is constantly falling towards the sun. The Earth's weight will be it's mass multiplied by the Sun's gravitational field strength.
@sharkey4123 ok i get ur point and agree with it one hundred percent but u misunderstood what i was saying when i said there is no gravity pulling it down but scientist do not refer to its weight they refer to its mass
@sharkey4123 btw i was replying to lazy4295's comment on how the earth cant have a weight, it is not on a weighting scale it is just floating in space i was replying to that so when i was typing that i was saying that earth like everything else have a mass but they do not refer to its "weight"
@Shift4chizzle It's N/Kg. If your mass is 70Kg, Earth's gravity pulls you with 700N. Because we care about the mass and thankfully its "normalized" we use the weight to count mass.
@thegozer100 No it doesn't, weight is a force, it needs to be generated by a gravitational pull on a body. Space is an empty area void of matter. Therefore no objects are in its position to give a gravitational tug on the spaceship.
Mass however is the measure of matter a body possesses, mass is constant, weight changes, so much that it can be reduced to 0. So yes it doesn't weigh anything as long as it is in SPACE.
@lazy4295 The Earth doesn't have weight in the traditional sense of the word, but rather than asking 'How much does The Earth weigh", one should ask "What is the Mass of Planet Earth?". The quick answer to that is: approximately 6,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000 (6E+24) kilograms.
you can't say it's getting heavier or lighter..if tou skate for 24 hours you'll lose 4 kilos but if you get taller you gain weight also a lot of people die and are borned..one the other hand there is outspace..meteores that become dust make the earth heavy...the water that becomes a cloud isn't touching the earth and when it does it becomes rain and goes down to the ground so plants become..plants or grass are eaten by animals animals die too and when someone dies only bones remain so can't say!
The main problem with this theory of the earth weighing the same is the exclusion of space dust and meteorites. The other problem is that matter doesn't always weigh the same amount; water vapor weighs less than ice, even though it's not that big of a difference.
its interesting how he says that people are created from dirt and previous matter... this could give the biblical story of how man was created a certain type of metaphorical value in how man was created...just a thought
only this doesn't include that the entropy (randomness) of the universe, therefor earth also, is constantly increasing, meaning that the earth is technically getting lighter.
This video is wrong in its conclusion. While the earth doesn't get larger because of population, the earth gains millions of pounds in weight each year due to the billions of tiny asteroid that hit earth. Most asteroids are smaller then we are able to see while falling, or it looks like dust, that is why you don't see them. The earth has gained weight (even with satellites being rocketed into space).
those tiny asteroids get burned up in the athmosphere, and they get burned in the outer athmosphere which looses its excess gasses back out to space due to solar winds and so on...
I look stupid, I am quoting the general book of ignorance written by 2 qualified san fransisco uni graduees, I'm sure they know more than you do, Hydrogen, as a gas, is lighter than the atmosphere so it escapes and out of random coumbustiton and the like it escapes
Actually if something is lighter than the atmosphere it can just go into space, and why do you thing marrs has no atmosphere. it used to have one but the gravity wasn't strong enough, our gravity isn't strong enough for helium of hydrogen
but that's why we have an atmosphere. Wouldn't they just be burned up? of course, some of the gas created from that would accumulate, so yeah i guess it would get heavier, but not that much, right?
I did do research and I meant an atmosphere which is sustainable for life to live there, why do you think there is ice but never water, the ice immediately turns to vapour and vice versa,
So I just read all the comments on this video... And would like to know why people argue stuff like this. Until a perfect form of the unified-theory is created there are no correct answers to anything. With out the unified-theory we base all of our information off the little section of the universe we live in. We are like little ants all we see are grass and dirt and assume, without knowing any better, what the answers to the toughest questions are.
I don't think it is possible to determine the Earth's weight by itself, as weight is defined as the gravitational force acting on a body. So Earth's weight must be measured in relative to something. We can only conclude the Earth's mass has increased or not...
However it is a very good attempt to promote science to the public =)
Actually because of photosynthesis, earth is getting heavier from the energy it gets from the sun. 4 pounds every second earth gains if the whole earth is forest.
True, e=mc^2. In addition, meteorites also add weight to the Earth. These bits of additional information would likely have confused the questioner, however. :)
He also neglected to mention the tons of mass added to the earth's crust and atmosphere each year from meteor collisions, including those thousands which never reach the surface but are reduced to gas and dust in the atmosphere.
Ever heard of anti-matter? If anti-matter hits matter both just disappear. And if you get a quantum fluctation in a real vacuum matter is created (Big Bang). So it is possible to lose and gain matter. Don't just stick to simple highschool physics
Actually the earth gains several metric tonnes of weight every year.
He completely forgot about sunlight, which through photosynthesis and the compound ATP, supplies plants over the entire planet with a HUGE amount of energy if you take them all into account, as well as the radiant thermal energy of the sun.
Some of this energy is lost as light and radiant heat from the earth, but most other forms are retained by gravity, and there is a net gain every year.
But both of these laws have no relevance to this topic. The earth is not a closed body - while gravity is a force that holds objects to the earth, objects can still escape our gravitational well.
What you should be saying is "it's called common sense", which I find the majority of people commenting on this video lack.
It does get heavier, but only from meteorites. Tickle wants to explain that the multiplying humans do not contribute to Earth's mass.

He also neglected to mention the tons of mass added to the earth's crust and atmosphere each year from meteor collisions, including those thousands which never reach the surface but are reduced to gas and dust in the atmosphere.

but dont forget the most important rule....matter cannot be destroyed or created, only changed
jugarnaut40 3 years ago
Ever heard of anti-matter? If anti-matter hits matter both just disappear. And if you get a quantum fluctation in a real vacuum matter is created (Big Bang). So it is possible to lose and gain matter. Don't just stick to simple highschool physics

well, braniac is a show for people of the highschool/secondary school age, so it will use information from highschool physics, only help explain it.

I thought that was energy...

matter is energy.

Actually the earth gains several metric tonnes of weight every year.
He completely forgot about sunlight, which through photosynthesis and the compound ATP, supplies plants over the entire planet with a HUGE amount of energy if you take them all into account, as well as the radiant thermal energy of the sun.
Some of this energy is lost as light and radiant heat from the earth, but most other forms are retained by gravity, and there is a net gain every year.
Most UNI-lvl sci. books state this.

it's called the law of conservation of matter.
look it up.

And there's also Mass-Energy equivalence.
But both of these laws have no relevance to this topic. The earth is not a closed body - while gravity is a force that holds objects to the earth, objects can still escape our gravitational well.
What you should be saying is "it's called common sense", which I find the majority of people commenting on this video lack.

The earth actually does get heavier.. From materials falling in from space ^-^

what about all the dead people? dont that rot and even things out?
afiqrahmat 3 years ago
they rot and decompose into soil which still has weight.

OMG, you're a retard, lol!
And the eat space food, am I right? Which doesn't weight...
