Title: Vsauce
Post by: Snowcrash on August 28, 2012, 22:46:05 PM
Found this channel on YouTube and I like it.

I think they do a video per week so there's loads to go through. This is the main link but feel free to post direct links to any you like.

The main channel is one video per week. This weeks is about music and is very interesting (VI?)

Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAcjV60RnRw#ws)

I've linked direct in case youtube gets confused with my sign in or you don't have one.

Another RI/VI installment of Vsauce.

Is The 5-Second Rule True? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYXdsOEWBj0#ws)

I use the wet/dry rule. If it's wet, throw it away. If dry, eat it. But hey, what's your immune system for anyway?

I've always hated that cliché.
My answer is: my uncle had TB as a child and had most of one lung removed. Didn't kill him or make him stronger.

Trust me, Snowy, I fully understand that fact, as the accident has left me far weaker than I was before. In the previous context, though, it was meant as a joke, and as such, wasn't to be taken seriously. :)

For sure Dave. My mild offence was at the cliché not your use of it.

As opposed to "We'll head them off at the pass" which I don't hate but Hedley Lamarr does.

Title: Re: Vsauce
Post by: DaveMorton on March 05, 2013, 20:52:40 PM
I'd need a lot of barbecue sauce, I think. :D

One question that I've always wanted to ask is why the seasons begin and end on a solstice or equinox, rather than in between them?

For example, the Winter Solstice (Dec. 20th/21st) is the beginning of Winter. It's also the shortest day of the year, and typically is the day where the Earth's pole tilt is most aligned with the Sun (often associated with the coldest average temperatures). Yet this is the first day of Winter? Shouldn't the Solstice mark the middle of winter, instead? The "reverse" is true for Summer, as well as for the other 2 seasons.
Title: Re: Vsauce
Post by: Snowcrash on March 06, 2013, 07:07:44 AM
I think it's due to older, less accurate calendars.

Because they kept going out of sync with the real year, the solstices and equinoxes were the only way to reset the year. Or work out when to plant crops etc.

I often find people who think the opposite is true but have given up correcting people or getting annoyed with them. It makes little odds, see it as you want.

lol @ "Earth's first fart"... Except that we're really not. Accepting the impact (asteroid or comet, depending on who's telling the story) of 65 million years ago, the amount of  ejecta that reached or exceeded escape velocity is not insignificant, and given the sheer volume, had to contain a huge number of dinosaurs (or at least pieces of dinosaurs) that had been converted to a gaseous form via incineration, thus making them a previous "fart", and who knows how many previous incidents of similar nature may have occurred before that?

Ok, not the same, but still... :D :P

Particularly like this bit.

In your 20's and 30's you worry about what people think of you.

In you 40's and 50's you stop worrying about what people think of you.

In your 60's and 70's you realise that they were never thinking about you in the first place.

I happen to disagree with that. It may be true, in general, but in my personal experience, and judging from the behaviours of those around me, people are still worried about how they're perceived well into their 90's. I, however, haven't cared what others thought about me, ever. :P

I'm not quite sure how to respond to that. It's certainly interesting, and discusses concepts that I've seen first hand, but given the fact that (for the most part) my username is some form or derivation of my "real" name, what does this say about me? Or, more importantly, should I care about what it says about me? And then there's the notion that when I play video games where I can control the appearance of my in-game avatar, what does it say about me when I almost invariably create female characters with green eyes and slim (almost slight) figures and smaller than average breasts? ??? :-\ Or does it really matter? :D

  So I think you can make something simpler so it is easier to understand or you can make it more complex to cover more possibilities.

Finished watching it (took 2 goes) and I'm with Dave. My head hurts.

Our tiny brains can define something that's not calculable and may not physically exist. Ouch!

I know I'm thick but I don't have a problem with infinity when it comes to numbers.

The universe is another matter but with numbers we will always be able to +1.

I came to terms with that a few years back, I refuse to watch this blasphemy any longer  :joker:  :LOL:

I rather liked that one. I already knew about the Aleph bits, and just a few days ago discussed with a friend of mine about the (four)nomenon with the number four. As a side note, the number 40 is the only number of which it's word that's spelled {in the English language} in alphabetical order. No other number has this particular attribute.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, Snowy! :D

April 9th, they'll be in Reno, which is REALLY close to me, so I'm going to do my best to work up the funds to go; hopefully before the show is sold out. :o

Going to be tough, though. the best seats ($125) are already sold out, and the cheapest ones ($40) are already more than half gone. Drat! Looks like I'll be missing out on this. :sign-sad:

That. Was. Trippy. And while I understand what was said, it skews what we were all taught in school such that it seems unnatural. However, it makes sense to me, so... Should I still use the "gravitic" model, or the "spacetime" model? Hmmm. :scratch-head:
Title: Re: Vsauce
Post by: Snowcrash on November 04, 2017, 21:02:12 PM
The model that stops you tripping over thing 'cos gravity hurts is the best model.  ;D

I post these as they're fairly light and accessible. For more in depth try PBS Space Time (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7_gcs09iThXybpVgjHZ_7g).

First in a new season of these. All the others were paid for episodes so I'm expecting the same this time.
Very interesting.

This isn't the typical Vsauce episode. It's a TED talk that Michael gave on asking questions, and gives some pretty good insight into why Vsauce came about.
