Ask in this morning's group chat. Matter weight comma. How do brains really feel? Well, if you go into medicine, they'll let you squeeze a brain. I've squeezed some brains look, I'm fine, they're firm but soft, they're soft but firm, here's a question from an underline on enterobang, two, will humanity ever leave the solar system? Probably not, but some future species you may know that humanity can evolve. and change where we couldn't reproduce with ourselves, those species can leave the solar system, I'm not sure where they would go or what they would do, but we could send an instrument, a spacecraft to another star system, I imagine we would easily use a solar system . sail and we would give it a nudge with a laser, that would be cool, except it would be in space, there wouldn't be any sound, it would just be fine, that's a big statement, I don't know if I'm there, but here.

We wonder how scientists discover things and who can say that what they found is correct. What if scientists just say it on their own and we just listen and go with it because they're scientists? You know, um, with his mother. you are asking a wonderful and important question about who is the authority when it comes to something like the world is round, at first you are certainly taking someone's word for it, the world is wrong because you go out, you look around, the world seems flat, but you can prove with a little diligence that the world is round and that you and I live in a time where we can look at pictures of spaceships when it comes to climate change, that's much harder, you're largely taking the word for it from climate scientists, although until recently, when the fires are getting worse and worse and everything is getting warmer and warmer, but you are really taking someone's word for it, but what we want from this MILF is for you to be able to evaluate the claims of scientists, so this is Why do we want science education for everyone at Tony Basi4?

Will artificial intelligence have the ability to know that it is AI and was created by humans with a pound sign? Do we know if we are an advanced AI? Think about it, we're probably not advanced AI. I know that in science you are not allowed to have what is called an unfalsifiable hypothesis which is not useful in science, so if you have a hypothesis that we are

part

of a video game or an artificial intelligence system and we cannot know it, that is not useful. hypothesis, you can't know it because the artificial intelligence programmed it, so you can't know it well.

What if I found a way to find the artificial one? Well, they programmed it so you would think you found it, but you actually didn't find it. it's just that it's a circle you'll never get there from here good question although excellent question buffy summer summer I'm not an astrology girl well we have that in common but every time a strange walnut tree happens in my life it's mercury retrograde, can science? Explain that yes, this is what is happening: Mercury's orbit is only 88 Earth days, so the Earth rotates around the mercury and, as observed from Earth, the mercury appears to move backwards in the night sky astronomical, but it happens all the time with a point. of only 88 days, it's just the chances that you're looking at mercury when it appears to be moving backwards in relation to the fixed stars, it's so often that you're simply combining or mixing cause and effect, stop attributing anything in your life to astrology.
Complete nonsense, as my mother always said, common sense is not so common alex g2, how does climate change cause pandemics? Do we catch colds globally when it freezes, does it sweat at night, when it thaws if you are a human, what is the most dangerous animal? It's not like I expected, like Dorothy expected, lions, tigers and bears, oh no, mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal to humans, so as we allow tropical organisms to live further and further from the equator, the possibilities The chances of us getting infected are getting higher, with our

tech

nological success that has allowed us to have airplanes flying everywhere, we have now transmitted diseases from one person to another much more easily than was possible 200 years ago, so This is a burden, but it is also an opportunity because we understand what is happening in purple, you know?
I sometimes wonder if humans are still evolving or if we have somehow stopped or altered nature's natural selection process. No, we are still evolving. Man, the

part

ner you select is based on evolution, whether they are germs and parasites. it can kill you so you don't live as long and you're much less likely to pass on your genes, but then it gets into something else bigger, it's not just the individual but the society or the culture that produces them uncle

bill

? predicts that as women and girls become more skilled in our societies, they can live longer, get jobs, have their own credit cards, so they wait longer to have children, so I think we are selecting very subtle, at least in the developed world, Women who will be able to have babies more successfully later will be watching for centuries to come, we'll see if that turns out to be true.
It is a hypothesis that you can evaluate when cryptocurrencies rise to the moon. Ask how scientists determine temperatures. I guess it's the temperatures. thousands of years ago a serious question, well, of course, it's a serious question, so geologists look at the minerals that form. If you have lava, you have molten rock and it cools, it will trap certain minerals, certain patterns of atoms and molecules. By melting lava in the lab, they can determine what minerals form and then work backwards from there and then the other thing, if you find plants and animals in the geological formation and you know that those plants and animals could only thrive when it was hot, then I can infer that that layer of rock formed when it was hot and you go to Antarctica and there are fossil dinosaurs there because they were able to roam around not when it was covered in ice but when it was covered in lush things to eat, you know, dinosaur. salad and I hope it was fun for them in wild spartans why are hurricanes and typhoons called different things when they are basically the same thing?
They were coined by different people in different parts of the world who speak different languages, you know what? you're supposed to do you grew up speaking French you're going to say one thing you're going to grow up speaking Tagalog you're going to say something else in general hurricanes occur in the northern hemisphere so they rotate counterclockwise many typhoons occur in the southern hemisphere and they will be rotating counterclockwise clockwise here is a bananalyze split question how is the james webb space telescope different from the hubble? Well as we like to call it, it is bigger and more powerful and it works in the infrared, the light it reflects and collects is in the infrared and that is why the mirrors are covered in gold real gold because in some ways it is the ideal material to reflect infrared light you think you are chronically tired ask if space is expanding wtf is surrounding space so that it expands you have come up with a great and wonderful philosophical question space-time is like everything, it does not expand to end with nothing, everything It's just separating and what's stopping it from separating, as far as we can see, are sources of gravity like stars and planets, like where does everything go, what does this do?
I even want to put it simply, no one knows, but maybe you'll be the astronomer who discovers it, so it's not expanding into anything, it's everything and everything is expanding. How do scientists determine when existence will end well? I guess it depends. what you mean by existence the solar system you know that the sun four

bill

ion years from now is going to swell and incinerate the earth except as I say it will be in space there will be no sound it will only be yours and my existence will end long before that, which It sucks but that's when there will be the end of times no one knows but the universe is expanding and no one really knows why it is that way and since it had a beginning it will have an end yeah. we'll see no we won't neither you nor I will see it sucks thanks for your question ben james genuine question unlike the

questions

I would normally ask how do scientists differentiate between the coveted variants what makes them? different from each other besides the effects of humans I would love to know the answer it doesn't seem like there are any kind of universal rules or standards oh contraire ben james we have developed

tech

niques to determine the sequence of amino acids in DNA and you can know when the sequence changes, that's where the word variant comes from.
Evolution is this process by which living things make replicas of themselves and therefore when they make copies small changes are introduced and because there are so many millions of us infected with so many billions of these viruses these changes They are emerging naturally, especially quickly, stay tuned, there will be new variants this fall coach bj thompson bj116 Does artificial intelligence excite you or scare you? I am excited about artificial intelligence, it is the next thing in computing. you create software that uses what you did before to make a better version of itself and this becomes an old thing called feedback and control, at some level you know you have a thermostat, you introduce changes based on what happened before that people would open the doors and let out the heat or the The air conditioning comes out at certain times of the day, the thermostat will compensate for it and keep in mind that we humans design all these things, this does not come from the sky, these are people who design systems, so if we make a system that comes out of the sky. hand and it crashes, well that's bad, so we'll have to change it so it doesn't do that.
It's going to be exciting. Jiggy Summer asks how scientists find out where life can exist in the United States and I don't think they mean University because that's a mystery too. We just launched the JWST James James Webb Space Telescope. One of the things we are going to try to do with this device is look for methane in the atmospheres of distant, distant, distant planets, so that there are ways to not be organisms. They produce methane, but most of it here on Earth comes from living things, from bacteria that emit it when cows burp, those are bacteria in their stomachs that produce these things, so if we see methane in the atmosphere of a distant planet , one could infer that there is something alive there and then the other big thing is the closest thing anyone can say to having living things you need a way to move the chemicals you have to have a liquid that dissolves the chemicals move them allow the chemicals to come out of the solution and be used by this living being the overwhelmingly likely candidate is water and there is water throughout our solar system on icy asteroids and other planets so we assume that there must be water out there and if there is water out there and it is also a solvent for other living beings, then perhaps very reasonably there are other living beings.
Keep in mind that it is very reasonable that you and maybe even I will be alive when life is discovered on another world and when that happens it will change this world completely. We will feel different about being a living being in the cosmos. ATDS asks why genetic engineering is so complicated. The brain doesn't understand that genetic engineering is simple or really complicated, so guys like george washington thomas jefferson take pollen from a wheat plant and shake it. the ovules, the eggs of another wheat plant to hybridize them, so it was a genetic modification carried out by traditional farmers.
Farmers have been manipulating domesticated plants, crops and animals for centuries, at least 10,000 years, but doing so in much subtler, faster and more effective ways requires understanding. the corn genome or whatever you're trying to mess with and then understand a mechanism that prevents the corn borer from eating it, so I had to put that gene in the corn, it wasn't that easy, but it was done and , by the way, That whole genetic modification thing started with cotton and then the other famous thing is this glyphosate business, the big brand you hear about is Roundup, they discovered that there is this acid pathwaychakimic, oh yes, by inhibiting the plant's ability to metabolize chakimic acid.
You could put this material on crops in the ground. Weeds could not grow. Things that grow fast couldn't grow, but then from what happened in the great evolutionary arms race of life, weed species are emerging where the shikimic acid pathway is not inhibited. and they grow anyway it's us against them and I remind you that farming is not natural if you stop farming the land goes back to being a meadow or a forest or a meadow, whatever it is, it is humans who do these things that make us They allow us to eat when I was young there There were less than 3 billion people in the world now it's almost 8 billion and that's because we found ways to feed them all and a lot of that has been genetic manipulation of crops good question the developer asks cartoons wants to know why co2 gets all the hate when it is methane that causes the most damage to global warming why no one talks about reducing those emissions people talk about methane all the time people are very, very worried about methane The methane leaks from oil wells and oil production Methane leaks are a big problem Cow burps Lime burps are a big problem, but the reason you hear so much about CO2 is because there is so much more , the effect of CO2 is greater than the effect. of methane both huge problems for us humans in therapy how droughts work like the rain cycle just decides to stop working let's keep in mind that the rain cycle has no agency, as we say, I don't think it makes any decisions so we make the ocean here warmer the air that reaches the coast is drier as this gets drier everything gets drier more droughts are making things drier which causes more droughts in dear sarah How do volcanoes erupt after doing nothing for decades?
This is a real question as wtf caused When an eruption occurs, the movement of tectonic plates occurs over tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, so 10 years in the volcanic tectonic scheme of things is a small fraction, so these small changes in tectonic plates cause the appearance of volcanoes and in humans. time scales seem far apart, but on geologic time scales they just happen all the time in devon04522082 asks how many millions of gallons of water a hurricane can dump. I think it's closer to billions, so we've done the math on Katrina and then there.
They are category six hurricanes so far they have only occurred in the sea but they dump millions and millions of tons of water, so if this desk was full of water, two of these desks were full of water, they would weigh about a ton, millions tons of water. billions of gallons so that's all the questions for today thanks for watching the science
