    Seeing animated versions of these images isn't necessary to understand the conveyed information, and no book will have these exact words and visual aids. If you neither value the specific information conveyed in this video, nor the convenience of accessing it online, then I agree; you should just go read a book.

  • @SecularAstronomer Lol, I like how you tried to recover your mistake @1:10 , super funny. Great work!

  • Could Earth be hollow and why not?

  • @nobleheight that was so racist my great great great grandfather felt it....thumbs up cause of the genius of it, though you probably never created the comment first....

  • Why do so many people expect complex physics ideas to be explained to them in terms of simple things? These people don't go to videos on differential geometry or analytic chemistry and demand the same.

  • @54n141n3n Wrong. Black holes have been proven. /watch?v=JPIEW0fNCDQ

  • what the hell did you just say, layman's terms for the astrologically ignorant didn't cross your mind?

  • Each time gravity give up wave form gravity pulsate. Energy travel always to the end of its journey. But most confusing part gravity has to many layers each layer travel different distance. The farthest travel one from center of the inner core and energy distance decreases out words closer it gets to the surface of the inner core. We feel that right on the surface of the planet, when we go to the mountains gravity losing the density. THAT WHAT CALLS GRAVITY IN CONSTANT MOVEMENT.

  • @54n141n3n

    Well.... yeah.

  • Thanks. I'm as confused as ever.

  • Great video, very informative and interesting. Please keep them coming. Good job .
