Questions From The Zeitgeist (ft The Daily Zeitgeist hosts) · Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe

0:07
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm and I'm Daniel. Welcome to our podcast, Daniel
0:19
Speaker 1: and Jorge Explain the Universe, a production of I Heart
0:22
Speaker 1: Radio in which we take the entire universe, slice it
0:25
Speaker 1: up into little pieces, and explain every single one to you,
0:28
Speaker 1: one at a time. We answer all of your deep
0:30
Speaker 1: and amazing questions about this incredible universe, and we try
0:34
Speaker 1: to make sure that you come away understanding something so
0:36
Speaker 1: you can sound smart at the next cocktail party you
0:38
Speaker 1: go to with a bunch of physicists. Today, we have
0:40
Speaker 1: a special episode. We're going to be once again answering
0:43
Speaker 1: listener questions, but not your normal listeners, not your everyday listeners.
0:48
Speaker 1: That's right. There's a twist today. Today we have special
0:51
Speaker 1: listener guests. That's our Today we have the host of
0:54
Speaker 1: the podcast, the Daily Site, guys Miles and Jack here,
0:58
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be answering their questions about out the universe,
1:00
Speaker 1: about planets, about quantum machine guns. That's right. Usually these
1:05
Speaker 1: guys are talking about the daily events of what's going
1:07
Speaker 1: on in the world we should care about, but they
1:09
Speaker 1: also think deeply about the universe. So they were here
1:11
Speaker 1: to talk to us about deep questions about the universe.
1:14
Speaker 1: Very deeply record scratch. It's just stopped in. This is
1:20
Speaker 1: Jack sound oh sorry, and this is Miles. This is
1:24
Speaker 1: what this is my voice. Much so welcome Jack and Miles.
1:29
Speaker 1: Thank you thanks for having us. Yeah, so tell us
1:31
Speaker 1: a little bit about your podcast Where can people You know,
1:34
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a woke morning show. You know
1:36
Speaker 1: what I mean, you wake up, we'll give you the
1:38
Speaker 1: best news we have. It's Jack and I and a
1:40
Speaker 1: comedian and we just run down the top stories. Uh.
1:44
Speaker 1: I have a background in politics, so i'll you know,
1:46
Speaker 1: talk like I know what I'm talking about. Uh, And
1:49
Speaker 1: then Jack does the funny stuff. Every other every other
1:52
Speaker 1: morning show is a sleeping morning problems. That is the
1:58
Speaker 1: only our only excuse for people expressive. Yeah. But I
2:03
Speaker 1: started the website cracked dot com and I've been doing
2:08
Speaker 1: this for the past year and a half with Miles. Wow,
2:10
Speaker 1: it's a good time. Yeah, pretty cool. So do you
2:13
Speaker 1: guys cover science topics as well? When you talk about
2:15
Speaker 1: the daily we do. If there's something like I think
2:18
Speaker 1: that's important to humanity or funny, so we'll talk about like,
2:22
Speaker 1: you know, the biomass, like insect biomass just decreasing at
2:26
Speaker 1: an alarming rate. But we don't typically get into super
2:29
Speaker 1: heavy stuff because like, if it's like gravitational waves territory,
2:32
Speaker 1: I'm like, as long as Miles can see it, he
2:37
Speaker 1: believes it exists, exactly. So I don't believe in germs
2:40
Speaker 1: or dinosaurs. So do you believe in scientology because I
2:43
Speaker 1: can see that building. You know, I believe it. We
2:45
Speaker 1: are you're talking to at six operating sex right now.
2:49
Speaker 1: I believe it exists, right, yeah, And then you're gonna
2:52
Speaker 1: have to explain the universe of scientology to me someday.
2:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you have a moment because I just
2:59
Speaker 1: feeling clear? Actually yeah, great, great, I mean I feel
3:01
Speaker 1: like I guess Zeno does have a lot to offer us,
3:04
Speaker 1: but I think this maybe for another show. Yeah. Yeah,
3:07
Speaker 1: that's a different universe exactly right. But there are aliens involved, right,
3:10
Speaker 1: aren't there aliens? Yes, don't be patronizing. There are many aliens,
3:14
Speaker 1: but in many different volcanoes we talked about, right, Oh yeah,
3:18
Speaker 1: we did, because I think and the that Navy footage
3:21
Speaker 1: where they said they found like an unidentified yeah, that
3:24
Speaker 1: flying object, unidentified flying tic tach, did you say that's
3:28
Speaker 1: interest in aliens is never pagonizing it's totally a great
3:32
Speaker 1: do you that sounded? Yeah? So yeah, my claims about
3:38
Speaker 1: not being sarcastic are since here. Okay, but what do
3:42
Speaker 1: you think what did you see that video of that
3:44
Speaker 1: tic tac? What did you what do you think that was?
3:46
Speaker 1: I think it's something crazy we don't understand, but it
3:49
Speaker 1: is something. It's something that was something something. Okay, definitely
3:52
Speaker 1: not nothing. I figure it's just something like a technology
3:55
Speaker 1: we're not familiar with. Yeah, it could be. It doesn't
3:57
Speaker 1: have to be like extraterrestrial or weird under not understood.
4:01
Speaker 1: You're talking from you know, the Navy pipe like that
4:05
Speaker 1: like fighter pilot footage of how they saw that thing
4:07
Speaker 1: just like rotating and then like inexplicably accelerating in different
4:11
Speaker 1: directions that it was different. Yeah, And the Pentagon released
4:14
Speaker 1: it like at the end of last year or the
4:16
Speaker 1: year before. That wasn't just special effects. No, the Pentagon
4:19
Speaker 1: was like, all right, we'll declassify this video if you
4:22
Speaker 1: guys want to see it. Yeah. Yeah. Pentagon is crowdsourcing
4:25
Speaker 1: its intelligence Internet, Yeah, to help us this out there,
4:34
Speaker 1: Like this is why we invented the Internet. Source are
4:38
Speaker 1: intelligence exactly to capture the intelligence of the genius of
4:42
Speaker 1: the crowds. Cool, well as you guys talk about the
4:45
Speaker 1: daily culture and the dailies, guys of of the humanity
4:49
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. Yeah, and I imagine sometimes you
4:51
Speaker 1: must have questions about the universe, about space, about the
4:56
Speaker 1: role that humans and our cultures have it it um,
5:00
Speaker 1: and so do they. You guys have three questions. We're
5:02
Speaker 1: gonna try to run through them in an episode today,
5:04
Speaker 1: and they're about plant information and quantum machines, guns, machines, guns,
5:10
Speaker 1: and machine guns. Yeah. I wasn't sure if it was
5:12
Speaker 1: a quantum machine gun or a quantum machine gun, a
5:16
Speaker 1: gun that shoots understanding quantum mechanics into your brain. Yeah,
5:24
Speaker 1: I think I have a more simple questions. And then
5:26
Speaker 1: Jack is the one about quantum leap or whatever, quantum back. Yeah,
5:32
Speaker 1: let's after all, Yes, it's almost definitely all right. So
5:39
Speaker 1: where should we start? Oh, let's just let's go nice
5:42
Speaker 1: and easy. Yeah. I get most of my scientific questions
5:47
Speaker 1: from the Jiza. And there's a song called Fourth Chamber
5:50
Speaker 1: that asked the question why is the sky blue? Why
5:53
Speaker 1: is water wet? The second question doesn't make any sense
5:56
Speaker 1: to me, but the first one I have always been curious,
5:59
Speaker 1: why is the sky blue? I love that question? Why
6:03
Speaker 1: is water wet? Actually it's like a really interesting deep Yeah,
6:07
Speaker 1: is just too much for my brain to hold. You
6:10
Speaker 1: know that song particle many particle man. Yeah, when he's underwater,
6:14
Speaker 1: does he get wet or does the water get instead?
6:17
Speaker 1: Deep stuff? Yeah? Mine that I guess like as a child,
6:21
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Is the version that I understand the
6:24
Speaker 1: sky to be blue true, which is like because the
6:26
Speaker 1: ocean is that? It s almost it's kind of like
6:32
Speaker 1: a wet wet and water say this ocean is blue
6:36
Speaker 1: sort of because the sky is blue, isn't it? Daniel,
6:38
Speaker 1: I'm not the scientist. Oh there are those, so short
6:43
Speaker 1: answer is the sky is blue, but not because the
6:46
Speaker 1: ocean is blue. Okay, but you're not You're not alone
6:49
Speaker 1: in that thought. I walked around campus that you see
6:50
Speaker 1: Irvine is today and I asked a bunch of people,
6:53
Speaker 1: why is the sky blue? Is that how scientists figure
6:55
Speaker 1: things out? Crowd around was down, so you got a
7:01
Speaker 1: second professor. Three out of four people, I mean I
7:07
Speaker 1: asked more than four people, but three fourth of them
7:08
Speaker 1: said because the ocean, right, that's I think the misinformation
7:13
Speaker 1: we're given, like when your parents are like, so what
7:18
Speaker 1: was your thinking that the ocean is blue? And so
7:20
Speaker 1: somehow that's making the skuy? I don't know. And it's
7:22
Speaker 1: just like if something. I never really bothered to think
7:25
Speaker 1: through that because half the time when I look at
7:27
Speaker 1: those and like that ain't blue or whatever. If you're
7:32
Speaker 1: in the desert, like a thousand miles of sands around you,
7:35
Speaker 1: the sky is still blue exactly. See, like a jealousy
7:37
Speaker 1: thing like this guy was like, oh I like that color, right,
7:40
Speaker 1: I'll put on my blue. They're always fighting, so drop
7:43
Speaker 1: some science, all right, So why is this guy blue?
7:45
Speaker 1: Well to answer the question why is anything any color,
7:48
Speaker 1: you have to think for a moment about what that
7:49
Speaker 1: means to have color, right, And I think there's a
7:51
Speaker 1: basic misperception like, um, you know light has lots of
7:54
Speaker 1: colors in it, right, And if something is painted blue,
7:57
Speaker 1: for example, that doesn't mean that it absorbs blue light.
8:00
Speaker 1: It's not like sucking in the blueness and is blue.
8:02
Speaker 1: It's reflecting blue light. Right. So if something like this
8:05
Speaker 1: cleanex blocks in front of me is blue, it means
8:07
Speaker 1: that the paint on it reflects blue light and it's
8:09
Speaker 1: absorbing all the other colors. Yeah, it sucks in all
8:12
Speaker 1: the other colors. That's why black things get really hot
8:14
Speaker 1: and white things don't, because they're youncing all the light back.
8:18
Speaker 1: And I know this because the interior of my prelude
8:21
Speaker 1: was jet black, and in the bat hot l a heat,
8:24
Speaker 1: I would burn myself on the inside of the car.
8:26
Speaker 1: And that's why jet eyes and whatever I'm tattooing, we're
8:28
Speaker 1: all white to reflect the sunlight. Yeah, all right, so
8:31
Speaker 1: the sky must be blue because it's reflecting blue light, right,
8:34
Speaker 1: And in fact that's true. The atmosphere when the light
8:37
Speaker 1: comes from the sun, the sun light from the sun
8:39
Speaker 1: is mostly is white. Is a big mix of colors.
8:41
Speaker 1: Actually it's a tiny big green, but it's mostly white light.
8:44
Speaker 1: We looked at the sun in space, it would be white. Um.
8:47
Speaker 1: Don't look at the sun though directly. When astronauts are
8:52
Speaker 1: out there, do they have to avert their eyes or
8:54
Speaker 1: do they have like sunglasses the sun visor? Yeah, um,
8:58
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a great question. I imagine NASA
9:00
Speaker 1: sends them up there with sunglasses. That's because a blinded
9:03
Speaker 1: astronaut would be a bad or. The astronauts are just
9:07
Speaker 1: smart enough to not look at the sun. And then
9:09
Speaker 1: that's how they got to be an astronaut. The sun's big,
9:12
Speaker 1: got to be hard, and this is why you didn't
9:14
Speaker 1: get into an assag every day. Yeah, how long do
9:18
Speaker 1: I get to look at the sun? Is that why
9:20
Speaker 1: you have an eye patch right now? That it Yeah,
9:23
Speaker 1: that was from the eclipse. Told them don't use those binoculars. Alright.
9:31
Speaker 1: So we got white light hitting the atmosphere right, and um,
9:34
Speaker 1: when when the light hits the atmosphere, you've got the
9:36
Speaker 1: different colors, and the blue light is the one that
9:38
Speaker 1: wiggles the most. It's got the highest energy. And so
9:41
Speaker 1: you know, light is a wave and it wiggles. So
9:43
Speaker 1: the red light wiggles really slowly and the blue light
9:45
Speaker 1: wiggles really fast. And the blue light bounces off the
9:48
Speaker 1: atmosphere more than the red light does. Like little particles
9:51
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere when the blue light hits them, they
9:53
Speaker 1: get bounced. It's it's kind of like it's a scattering, right,
9:58
Speaker 1: It doesn't like bounce off back into space. It's sort
10:01
Speaker 1: of like the atmosphere. And then it makes basically glows, right,
10:05
Speaker 1: it makes the atmosphere glow blue. That kind of datia. Yeah,
10:09
Speaker 1: I think of it more like it gets reflected. Like, Um,
10:11
Speaker 1: so you're looking up at the sky. You're not looking
10:13
Speaker 1: at the sun, right, Why is there light coming from
10:16
Speaker 1: that part at all? It's because it got reflected. So
10:18
Speaker 1: light from the sun hit that part of the atmosphere
10:20
Speaker 1: and then comes to your eyes. What part of that
10:22
Speaker 1: light hits your eyes the part that got reflected, which
10:24
Speaker 1: is the blue light. Just like if you're looking at
10:27
Speaker 1: a blue wall, it's not glowing right, So it doesn't
10:29
Speaker 1: produce lights, only reflecting light. It's reflecting the blue light
10:33
Speaker 1: only right. Atmosphere is the same way. So the atmosphere
10:36
Speaker 1: reflects the blue light, which is why it looks blue.
10:39
Speaker 1: So why does it only reflect the blue and not
10:41
Speaker 1: the other colors? Yeah, because the blue light wiggles more,
10:45
Speaker 1: and the atmosphere is made of these little tiny particles,
10:48
Speaker 1: and and the little tiny particles are better at reflecting
10:50
Speaker 1: things that wiggle more because the wiggles are shorter. And
10:54
Speaker 1: so imagine, for example, you're like walking across the field
10:57
Speaker 1: filled with rocks. Right, if the box are really really big,
11:01
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get bounced around. It's gonna be a
11:03
Speaker 1: big obstacle. The rocks are really really tiny, like you're
11:05
Speaker 1: walking across the beach. You don't even really notice. So
11:08
Speaker 1: the blue light sees like really big rocks because it
11:11
Speaker 1: wiggles more it's tiny, and so it gets bounced off
11:14
Speaker 1: with them. The red light just like skips over them,
11:16
Speaker 1: like walking over the same surface. Over the atmosphere, Yeah exactly.
11:21
Speaker 1: So red light mostly goes through straight through air. What
11:23
Speaker 1: blue light gets bounced, which is why you see in
11:26
Speaker 1: the blue light in your eyes when you're looking up
11:27
Speaker 1: at this guy. So it's about the size of the
11:30
Speaker 1: atoms up in the atmosphere. It's not like a quantum
11:33
Speaker 1: electron level kind of thing. No, it's basically about the
11:36
Speaker 1: relative sizes of the wiggles and the light and the atmosphere.
11:40
Speaker 1: But you know, bigger stuff reflects all light light, which
11:43
Speaker 1: is why most powders are white, right, Because the particles
11:45
Speaker 1: of the powder are pretty big, so they reflect everything.
11:49
Speaker 1: But the atmospheric particles are much much smaller than the
11:51
Speaker 1: powder you might have in your nine prelude, for example,
11:55
Speaker 1: sugar and salt, the powdered sugar in the in the
11:57
Speaker 1: seat of your the back seat of your old car.
12:00
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Um, And so that's why the sky right,
12:03
Speaker 1: because it reflects blue light. It also explains why, for example,
12:07
Speaker 1: sunsets are not blue. Right, How does that explain it?
12:11
Speaker 1: It's the same atmosphere, right, It's I understand it. But
12:14
Speaker 1: when we were I mean, I'm just trying to see,
12:19
Speaker 1: if you know, Daniel, So, yeah, why is the sky
12:23
Speaker 1: so um? So? If you so, if you look at
12:26
Speaker 1: the atmosphere, you're seeing reflected light. If you look directly
12:28
Speaker 1: of the sun, don't do that. But if you were to,
12:30
Speaker 1: you'd be seeing light directly from the sun. We're all
12:33
Speaker 1: the blue is removed, right, because the blue light that
12:35
Speaker 1: comes to you directly from the sun gets bounced away,
12:38
Speaker 1: So you're seeing the redd or or the yellower side
12:40
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. Right, So the blue is removed and
12:43
Speaker 1: somewhere else and you see the yellows, the red, the oranges.
12:45
Speaker 1: That's why the sun looks yellow in the sky. Right.
12:48
Speaker 1: The sun isn't yellow, it's white, but it looks yellow
12:51
Speaker 1: in the sky through the filter of the at exactly
12:54
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. And now it's sunset, you're looking through a
12:56
Speaker 1: lot more atmosphere because the sun is low in the sky,
12:59
Speaker 1: so doesn't just come through a little bit of atmosphere.
13:01
Speaker 1: It skims along through a lot of atmosphere, so it
13:04
Speaker 1: gets like yellow wer so yellow, it looks orange and
13:07
Speaker 1: red and darker and darker. Oh so as like a
13:09
Speaker 1: sphere like versus just hitting it straight on, because it's
13:12
Speaker 1: like that, you're getting this curvature, this slice that gets
13:16
Speaker 1: way more atmospheres, You get more, more and more blue
13:19
Speaker 1: light gets filtered out, and then you get just the
13:21
Speaker 1: red light left. But the whole sky turns pink, or
13:24
Speaker 1: at least half of the sky turns pink. Yeah, that's
13:26
Speaker 1: mostly because of smog. That's because we live in l A.
13:29
Speaker 1: If the sky was perfectly clear, right then the sunset
13:33
Speaker 1: would look more yellow and mostly just around the sun.
13:36
Speaker 1: But then that light, that yellowy red light whatever, bounces
13:38
Speaker 1: off of particles in the atmosphere or smog whatever, and
13:41
Speaker 1: that clouds and that's what gives you the beautiful sunset.
13:44
Speaker 1: But the color comes from all the blue getting filtered
13:47
Speaker 1: out by the atmosphere. Does being closer to the equator
13:50
Speaker 1: effect the beauty of the sunset, because I think of
13:53
Speaker 1: like like tropical places that have amazing sunse there there
13:56
Speaker 1: really isn't that much pollution or this I feel like
13:58
Speaker 1: the smog is influencing a color of the sunset. So
14:00
Speaker 1: I'm curious if that you could probably just in a
14:02
Speaker 1: better mood if you're you're like, oh my god, that's
14:06
Speaker 1: the best sunset ever, and the locals are like, what
14:08
Speaker 1: cocktails make the sunset better? That's a physics physical effect
14:12
Speaker 1: for it. Also be the haze, like water vapor will
14:15
Speaker 1: do that also, gotcha, there's probably more equation at the equation. Wow,
14:21
Speaker 1: you've embarrassed yourself. Let's talk quantum machine guns. Wow, I'm
14:29
Speaker 1: just hosting a podcast. But first let's take a quick break.
14:48
Speaker 1: All right, moving on, Jack, what is your question today?
14:52
Speaker 1: My question is I would love to hear from like
14:57
Speaker 1: your how your brain and explaining the quantum machine gun theory,
15:02
Speaker 1: because it's hard for me to get my simple brain. Yes,
15:06
Speaker 1: Jack tried when we were talking about this. He tried
15:08
Speaker 1: to explain it, and I actually just walked away because
15:12
Speaker 1: I did not understand the single thing he was trying
15:14
Speaker 1: to say. I have a question about your question that
15:16
Speaker 1: why are you so fascinated by quantum machine guns? Are
15:19
Speaker 1: you looking at build one? Are you think about purchasing
15:23
Speaker 1: one in eBay? And you want to know if it's
15:25
Speaker 1: real or what's the situation. I mean, it's a very
15:28
Speaker 1: so I was a philosophy major and it's like a
15:30
Speaker 1: very philosophical I don't know what like it's worth. You
15:34
Speaker 1: can't say I was a philosophy major. I became a
15:39
Speaker 1: philosophy major. That's a philosophic question question in itself. And
15:45
Speaker 1: it's like that it gets into you know, multiverse and
15:49
Speaker 1: all those different things, which it would seem to me
15:52
Speaker 1: would affect just the entire metaphysical reality of of the world.
15:59
Speaker 1: So that's why it interests me, like if if it
16:04
Speaker 1: is real and not just a thought experiment, it would
16:06
Speaker 1: seem to be like a a existence of shaping thing.
16:14
Speaker 1: I guess, all right, well, what you can explain what
16:17
Speaker 1: it is? And then what is he talking about? What
16:19
Speaker 1: is it? What is it? Quantum machine gun? Quantum machine
16:23
Speaker 1: done is like a variation on the Schrodinger's catecorum experiment
16:28
Speaker 1: that from Silicon Valley. Okay, Hollywood is entertaining and educating, awesome.
16:34
Speaker 1: So the idea there is put something like a particle
16:38
Speaker 1: that's decaying. We don't know how long it's going to
16:40
Speaker 1: take the decay. Put it in a box and then
16:42
Speaker 1: when the particle decays, it kills the cats, amount releases
16:45
Speaker 1: poison or something, and then you can ask the question,
16:47
Speaker 1: is the cat dead or is the kind of live?
16:49
Speaker 1: It's inside the box. You can't see it, right, It's
16:52
Speaker 1: just determined by what that quantum random particle does. And
16:55
Speaker 1: so the idea is you put the particle in the
16:57
Speaker 1: box and you don't know whether or not it is
16:59
Speaker 1: decay aid, which you know has consequences for the cat,
17:02
Speaker 1: and so because you don't know, then you say things
17:04
Speaker 1: like it's both dead and alive because as a probability
17:07
Speaker 1: to be both. Okay, So that's the shorting, right, because
17:10
Speaker 1: the particle is both doing but doing both things at
17:13
Speaker 1: the same time, and so if the cat's life depends
17:16
Speaker 1: on the particle, then the cats must be also dead
17:19
Speaker 1: and alive at the same time. That's right. And that's
17:22
Speaker 1: that's actually the heart of the question, which the machine
17:24
Speaker 1: gun example probes also is what's going on with quantum mechanics,
17:28
Speaker 1: Like if a particle can do A or B has
17:31
Speaker 1: probability to do A and B, is it both A
17:34
Speaker 1: and B before you've looked, or has it chosen one
17:37
Speaker 1: or has the universe split into one? Universe where the
17:40
Speaker 1: particle has done a one universe where the particles done
17:42
Speaker 1: b That seems like this explanation obviously, right, Let's just
17:47
Speaker 1: create a whole new universe every time. Max Tegmark took
17:49
Speaker 1: this to the next level and he said, let's not
17:51
Speaker 1: put cats at risk. Let's put ourselves at risk. He said,
17:55
Speaker 1: let's put um Let's build a machine gun where the
17:58
Speaker 1: machine gun fires based on what a particle does. So
18:01
Speaker 1: a particle can can be spin up or spin down
18:03
Speaker 1: with equal probability. It's like a coin flip, right, And
18:06
Speaker 1: if every time you press the trigger on the machine gun,
18:09
Speaker 1: it asks the particle, are you spin up? Are you
18:11
Speaker 1: spin down? It's been up, it shoots. If it's been down,
18:13
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It's like the particles in charge of the
18:15
Speaker 1: safety switch the gun. You pull it, you pull the trigger,
18:19
Speaker 1: but the particle, if it's doing one thing, they'll let
18:22
Speaker 1: you shoot. If it's doing the other thing, it won't
18:24
Speaker 1: let you shoot. It's a little like Russian roulette, right,
18:26
Speaker 1: Russian roulette. You you know, put three bullets in a
18:29
Speaker 1: six chamber gun or whatever, you spin it, you have
18:31
Speaker 1: a fifty chance of dying. Right. The problem with the
18:33
Speaker 1: Russian roulette is it's determined once you put them in
18:35
Speaker 1: there and you spin it, it's either going to be
18:37
Speaker 1: a bullet or an envy chamber. It's fixed. Right. With
18:40
Speaker 1: a quantum machine gun, it's supposed to be truly random,
18:43
Speaker 1: like the universe is really random. So when you press
18:46
Speaker 1: the button, Max Tegmark says, the universe splits into two
18:50
Speaker 1: one where it shoots a bullet and one where it
18:51
Speaker 1: doesn't shoot a bullet. And that's the crazy thing is imagining,
18:54
Speaker 1: Like the universe is splitting into two universes. So the
18:58
Speaker 1: thought experiment is like you go in real sure the
19:00
Speaker 1: Inger's box. Would you take out the cat? You put
19:03
Speaker 1: yourself in and you see what happens. Yeah, but it's
19:06
Speaker 1: more than that, he says, Now build the gun pointed
19:09
Speaker 1: at yourself and keep pressing the button. What will you hear?
19:14
Speaker 1: And his point is you will only hear click click,
19:17
Speaker 1: click click. You will never hear the gun go off,
19:21
Speaker 1: which you would think would be a one and a
19:23
Speaker 1: billion uh probability, right, because if you're multiplying by and
19:30
Speaker 1: it gets more and more unlikely that you're not gonna
19:33
Speaker 1: hear the gun go off. But why does it have
19:36
Speaker 1: to be life or death, though you can just be
19:39
Speaker 1: a light, and yeah, that's true. People have to do
19:48
Speaker 1: with I mean, if it was just a light, it
19:50
Speaker 1: wouldn't you wouldn't cease to exist, right, And the idea
19:54
Speaker 1: is that in there there are nine other like if
19:59
Speaker 1: it's a one thousand things, there are nine other branches
20:03
Speaker 1: of reality and probability where you did die. But because
20:08
Speaker 1: you're you only exist because you are your experience, then
20:14
Speaker 1: you are only in the one branch that where it
20:18
Speaker 1: didn't go off. Essentially, there's always one one version of
20:22
Speaker 1: the universe and which it doesn't go off no matter
20:24
Speaker 1: how many times you click. You click a million times,
20:26
Speaker 1: there's some probability for it to never kill you. And
20:29
Speaker 1: there's somebody who pressed it a million times and had
20:32
Speaker 1: that experience. There's some version of the universe in which
20:35
Speaker 1: that happened. So that guy is the only one who's
20:37
Speaker 1: still awake. And he says, you know, you only ever
20:41
Speaker 1: hear clicks. I think you hear a bunch of clicks
20:43
Speaker 1: and then eventually you hear a boom. Right, But there's
20:47
Speaker 1: there's some version of you that can do as many
20:49
Speaker 1: clicks as you want. Right. They seem they both both
20:52
Speaker 1: Schrodinger's cat and quantum machine gun theories seem like really
20:56
Speaker 1: good ways for you to make physicists who believe in
20:59
Speaker 1: the more diverse like realize that they don't actually believe. Okay,
21:05
Speaker 1: you believe that here, do this thing, and if you
21:09
Speaker 1: truly believe in it thing, you'll never die, right because
21:12
Speaker 1: and I think that was what Schroedeger's cat was originally
21:17
Speaker 1: designed to like illustrate the absurdity of quantum theory, like
21:22
Speaker 1: how can a cat be alive? And right? Yeah, exactly
21:25
Speaker 1: do you think is that true? Was that example that
21:27
Speaker 1: Max Techmark come up with this example to, like, you know,
21:31
Speaker 1: kind of puts physicist on the spot. I think he
21:34
Speaker 1: probably came up with his example to sell his book,
21:38
Speaker 1: which I think went pretty well for him and didn't
21:40
Speaker 1: sell it at the same time. In some universe, it's
21:42
Speaker 1: the best summer universe is a warehouse full of it.
21:45
Speaker 1: But you're the philosopher. Tell me, do you think there's
21:47
Speaker 1: another universe out there where you you know, it's something else?
21:51
Speaker 1: This morning a different kind of cereal. I think it's
21:53
Speaker 1: as good as anything I've come up with on my end,
21:58
Speaker 1: or anything I've had a high ball or a low.
22:00
Speaker 1: Not very good, yeah, very very low. Bar No. I
22:03
Speaker 1: think it's just a really interesting way to think about things.
22:06
Speaker 1: I don't think you necessarily want to think about it
22:09
Speaker 1: if it's think about it that way, if it's going
22:11
Speaker 1: to make you behave recklessly, if you're gonna be like
22:13
Speaker 1: I'm invincible, like driving down, don't die. But well, basically, right,
22:21
Speaker 1: that's that's the conclusion of the experiment, is that if
22:24
Speaker 1: you're still healing here in the click, you must be
22:26
Speaker 1: in the one universe, however improbable, where where it's like
22:30
Speaker 1: running back and forth across the freeway. Right version of
22:33
Speaker 1: you survives that for an hour, and you survives it
22:36
Speaker 1: for a day as a version gets splat immediately, right, Yeah,
22:39
Speaker 1: but you are don't do any of these things because
22:44
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason that they design it where the
22:47
Speaker 1: gun goes off based on a quantum coin flip, is
22:50
Speaker 1: because that's really the only truly like random thing. So
22:54
Speaker 1: I mean, you're still on a chain of probability where
22:59
Speaker 1: some thing is or isn't going to happen unless you are.
23:03
Speaker 1: Existence is being determined by a quantum coin flip, which
23:07
Speaker 1: still blows my mind. I mean, I think I understand
23:09
Speaker 1: quantum mechanics as well as I'm ever going to. But
23:12
Speaker 1: I still don't understand how something can be truly random,
23:15
Speaker 1: Like there has to be some mechanism in the universe
23:18
Speaker 1: that's producing random numbers. There's like some What does it
23:21
Speaker 1: mean to be truly random and not truly random? What's
23:25
Speaker 1: the difference? Well, truly random means not predictable, right, not repeatable,
23:29
Speaker 1: it doesn't depend anything, doesn't Well, it can depend on something,
23:32
Speaker 1: it can be influenced by it. But you have a
23:34
Speaker 1: distribution where the random draw is not repeatable, not determined
23:37
Speaker 1: by the initial conditions. Right, It's not a true magical box.
23:42
Speaker 1: Not magical. It's physics, man. Physics is indistinguishable from that.
23:50
Speaker 1: I mean, that's que what you're saying, Like if we
23:52
Speaker 1: have magic, I mean, like violating the laws of physics
23:56
Speaker 1: is impossible, that would be like Lord of the Rinks
23:59
Speaker 1: man magic. But if you were to call that quantum
24:03
Speaker 1: nugget there that can give you anything at any given time,
24:05
Speaker 1: you might you might use the word magic, wouldn't you.
24:07
Speaker 1: I think you might use the word magic. Yeah, yea yeah.
24:14
Speaker 1: I think there's a physics we understand and physics we
24:18
Speaker 1: don't yet understand, right, You can call that magic if
24:21
Speaker 1: you like, or you can call it, you know, science
24:22
Speaker 1: fiction or whatever. But wait, so what's the other form
24:25
Speaker 1: of randomness if it because you said truly random, there's
24:29
Speaker 1: there's really only truly random and earnest pseudo random, like
24:33
Speaker 1: your computer can generate random numbers, but do not actually random.
24:36
Speaker 1: Like you ask computer, give me a series of random numbers,
24:38
Speaker 1: it will give you the same series every time, so
24:40
Speaker 1: it's not really random. Or it's going through an algorithm
24:43
Speaker 1: that someone's created, and it's algorithm for choosing things, which
24:46
Speaker 1: you know, spread the numbers out basically, but it's not
24:49
Speaker 1: actually random. You can be the same you just ask
24:52
Speaker 1: the same computer the same question. It will give you
24:53
Speaker 1: the same string of random numbers. Right. Or even throwing
24:56
Speaker 1: a die is not truly random, right because you can
24:59
Speaker 1: trace the result back to some something you did way back.
25:04
Speaker 1: That's right, Like whether you have decided to put a
25:06
Speaker 1: rabbit foot in your pocket or not? Right, magic physics,
25:12
Speaker 1: you skipped your scientology meeting or not. I don't skip.
25:20
Speaker 1: It's going to get downgraded. No, you're right, it's not random.
25:22
Speaker 1: It's chaotic, right, difficult to predict. So it's a good
25:25
Speaker 1: proxy for randomness, right, but it is totally determined by
25:28
Speaker 1: how you roll the die. You roll the die the
25:30
Speaker 1: same way every time, you're gonna get exactly the same answer.
25:32
Speaker 1: It's impossible to do, which is why it's a good
25:34
Speaker 1: proxy for randomness. But yeah, quantumic Hanks is the only
25:37
Speaker 1: true randomness in the universe that we know of, and
25:40
Speaker 1: it seems random because we just can't explain it yet, right,
25:44
Speaker 1: although there are experiments they have done that basically proved
25:47
Speaker 1: that it's random, that it's completely and it's completely random. Yeah,
25:50
Speaker 1: there are these crazy experiments that are really subtle. They're
25:53
Speaker 1: called It's about Bills inequality, these correlations between particles where
25:56
Speaker 1: they prove that it can't be determined by the initial conditions,
25:59
Speaker 1: that has to be actually random, which is pretty mind
26:02
Speaker 1: blowing something. We asked your question, Jack do we um. Yeah,
26:05
Speaker 1: that was that was that actually was a much better explanation.
26:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, I it's it's so interesting, like multiverse
26:13
Speaker 1: theory just in general, so like to even think that
26:15
Speaker 1: there are other questions delving into that is just like
26:18
Speaker 1: another splitting my brain in nine directions. Again, Well, I
26:21
Speaker 1: think the multiverse is bonkers. I mean, that's not a
26:24
Speaker 1: scientific point of that's philosophical boys. So you can say
26:26
Speaker 1: bonkers and crazy, but you can't see magic. No magic
26:28
Speaker 1: is not allowed. Bonkers, they're going to bleep that work.
26:33
Speaker 1: And I don't mean bonker is in a negative way,
26:34
Speaker 1: Like the universe is bonkers. I mean like the crazy
26:37
Speaker 1: stuff we talk about on our show, like you know,
26:38
Speaker 1: how do you wrap your head around it? Huge spinning
26:40
Speaker 1: stars and black holes and all that stuff is bonkers
26:43
Speaker 1: even if it's real. Right, But the multiverse is like
26:46
Speaker 1: extra bonkers because imagining like extra universe is being created
26:50
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I just don't I can't. I don't
26:51
Speaker 1: know where to put that in my head. A version
26:54
Speaker 1: where you are on our show, Jack and Miles explaining
26:59
Speaker 1: that's it. I really want to want to be a
27:02
Speaker 1: very different kind of universe. Well, um, we we do
27:07
Speaker 1: have a whole episode about the multiverse, and the whole
27:10
Speaker 1: episode about quantum randomness. Magic, No bonkers, quantum bonkers. I've
27:17
Speaker 1: never heard of a game called physics the gathering that
27:23
Speaker 1: sounds like there's nothing on all the cards. How do
27:30
Speaker 1: I know I'm winning? All right, So let's get to
27:32
Speaker 1: your last question about But first, let's take our last
27:36
Speaker 1: break of the episode. Alright, Miles, you have one last
27:51
Speaker 1: question for Yes, and it's a it's and it's an
27:53
Speaker 1: epic and scale, it's planetarry and scale, it's planetary. Yes,
27:56
Speaker 1: it's gigantic. It's probably probably the best question you've ever
27:59
Speaker 1: been asked at. Yeah, this is some real magic stuff.
28:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with. Yeah, I gotta do some
28:09
Speaker 1: stretches here. Yeah, it was incredible. He just put his
28:15
Speaker 1: leg behind his head hanging from the ceiling. You wish
28:20
Speaker 1: this was the TV show? Right? Oh? I do? Um.
28:22
Speaker 1: You know, I I love space and I like uh
28:26
Speaker 1: the soldiers like crows. Yeah, I love space. I'm still
28:30
Speaker 1: on my Space. Actually, I don't use Facebook anything. Space
28:34
Speaker 1: that even on my keyboard gigantic space bar it overtakes
28:37
Speaker 1: the rest of the keys. Um. But you know, just
28:40
Speaker 1: planetary formation is just another not necessarily philosophical thing because
28:44
Speaker 1: that's a physical, uh phenomenon. I'm just curious because once
28:50
Speaker 1: I started reading about the Juno probe that's going around Jupiter. Uh,
28:54
Speaker 1: there were some people I spoke with who worked at
28:56
Speaker 1: JPL who were sort of saying, like, Jupiter has a
28:59
Speaker 1: lot of seek grits, or it will give us a
29:01
Speaker 1: better understanding of planetary formation in this Solar system. And
29:05
Speaker 1: I'm sort of like, well, why don't we why can't
29:06
Speaker 1: we look at like Earth or whatever. So I'm just
29:09
Speaker 1: sort of like that got me thinking, like, wow, it's
29:11
Speaker 1: interesting to think they say, if we look at planetary
29:13
Speaker 1: planetary formation is like a cookbook, We're only seeing the
29:16
Speaker 1: finished product, right of everything being cooked or baked or whatever.
29:20
Speaker 1: The end thing is is like but with understanding Jupiter
29:23
Speaker 1: will begin to understand the recipe and that they want system,
29:28
Speaker 1: yeah or whatever. But I just but it's interesting to
29:29
Speaker 1: even think, you know, because we live on this physical
29:32
Speaker 1: or Earth what what you know? What went down really
29:36
Speaker 1: was the magic And you said you were a JPL
29:38
Speaker 1: when you you got interested in Yeah, yeah, because I
29:40
Speaker 1: at the at the time, I just knew that this
29:42
Speaker 1: was like a very novel, like just a very important experiment.
29:45
Speaker 1: This probe was going out and it was like months
29:48
Speaker 1: before the first sets of data we're going to be
29:50
Speaker 1: sent back, and everyone was just so like this is man,
29:53
Speaker 1: like we really this is the thing, Like Jupiter really
29:56
Speaker 1: is going to help us understand so much, so many
29:58
Speaker 1: other things like weather and all these other things. So
30:01
Speaker 1: it was just so interesting to me that there was
30:04
Speaker 1: this this planet out there that if we can study
30:07
Speaker 1: a bit more like it's gonna it could potentially help
30:10
Speaker 1: us understand many other things that we experienced. So that's
30:13
Speaker 1: why I'm like, Okay, yeah, I guess planetary formation is
30:16
Speaker 1: is a lot more in depth than merely saying, hey,
30:18
Speaker 1: we're here on Earth. You know, some stuff started swirling
30:21
Speaker 1: around each other, got dense, and then boom. Yeah, well
30:24
Speaker 1: that basically answers the question and density swirling, boom, planet
30:32
Speaker 1: really got to planet. There's the recipe. Yeah, I think
30:39
Speaker 1: that's really interesting question. I think it touches on something
30:41
Speaker 1: which is like deep in everybody, which is we want
30:44
Speaker 1: to understand our history, what went down, how did this
30:47
Speaker 1: come about? And is this unusual? Like are there other
30:50
Speaker 1: solar systems out there that have Earth's or is it
30:52
Speaker 1: all jupiters? Is there a solarist method that's just like
30:54
Speaker 1: all Uranus for example, or all Saturn's or something. Um. Yeah,
30:59
Speaker 1: So it's pretty interesting stuff. And you know, the planets.
31:01
Speaker 1: I think one of the interesting things that about that
31:03
Speaker 1: is that the planets are formed about the same time
31:06
Speaker 1: as the star. Right. The whole thing is basically a
31:09
Speaker 1: big mix. You start with a big cloud of like
31:11
Speaker 1: gas and dust and and other stuff that comes from
31:15
Speaker 1: you know, other stars that blew up, and so you
31:17
Speaker 1: like rubble out there in space, and then gravity gradually
31:20
Speaker 1: pulls it together and most of the gas gets sucked
31:23
Speaker 1: towards the center. So you get this huge star in
31:25
Speaker 1: the middle of right, and then the leftover is just
31:27
Speaker 1: sort of swirling around it. Right, Well, why does the
31:29
Speaker 1: gas come in first? Why does the gas come in first?
31:33
Speaker 1: It all sort of happens at once, But the gas
31:35
Speaker 1: is light, and so it gets pulled in towards the center. Yeah,
31:38
Speaker 1: and it rushes in faster, I guess because it's it's gas.
31:41
Speaker 1: Well I think it's equally distributed. But the gas gets
31:44
Speaker 1: sucked in towards the center faster than like the rocks
31:46
Speaker 1: and stuff. So you end up with like a lot
31:48
Speaker 1: of gas at the center, which becomes a star, and
31:50
Speaker 1: then you get like, you know, where the gas was
31:52
Speaker 1: pulled away, You get rocks which trying into like rocky planets,
31:55
Speaker 1: and then the outer part you have still have gas
31:57
Speaker 1: and ice and stuff left over, which is why you
31:58
Speaker 1: get like big gas ants. Oh god, OK, So Jupiter
32:03
Speaker 1: is like mostly hydrogen and water and that kind of stuff,
32:06
Speaker 1: whereas Earth is not as mostly rock, right, But basically
32:10
Speaker 1: it's just gravity, right. Gravity. It takes you a long time,
32:12
Speaker 1: but gravity sucks this stuff together. You get a big
32:15
Speaker 1: star and the stuff that's orbiting around it um gradually
32:19
Speaker 1: gathers together, right, So it bounces into each other and
32:22
Speaker 1: and you know, gravity sticks them together and just sort
32:23
Speaker 1: of gradually pulls everything together, as you said, like density,
32:27
Speaker 1: boom boom. Right. I guess the question is why doesn't
32:30
Speaker 1: why why do we have planets at all? Why is
32:33
Speaker 1: and why isn't the Solar System just a star? Why
32:35
Speaker 1: doesn't everything just get sucked into the middle? Or why
32:37
Speaker 1: aren't planets just asteroid belts? Yeah? Okay, so there's two
32:41
Speaker 1: different answers there. Why do we have planets at all? Right?
32:43
Speaker 1: Why didn't everything just gets sucked into like one black
32:45
Speaker 1: hole or one star? Right? Well, there's some things keeping
32:48
Speaker 1: things from falling into the center, right, And that's just
32:51
Speaker 1: enough spinning. Right, So the whole blob when it started
32:54
Speaker 1: was spinning already, and that spinning can't go away right
32:57
Speaker 1: as angular momentum. It can't have to be conserved. You
32:59
Speaker 1: can't just you can't just stop spinning. It's it's not
33:02
Speaker 1: rubbing against anything to slow it down. It's just it's
33:04
Speaker 1: in space, so it just keeps on spinning. Somehow, you
33:06
Speaker 1: made that sound inappropriate. I mean, I would have preferred
33:09
Speaker 1: frictionless environments. It was just weird that you are waggling
33:13
Speaker 1: your eyebrows on my shirt. Yeah, the Sun does have
33:20
Speaker 1: a history of rubbing inappropriately against things. Yes, no, it's yeah,
33:24
Speaker 1: it's out there in space and there's nothing to slow down.
33:26
Speaker 1: There's no friction, nothing to to grab onto it, so
33:28
Speaker 1: it's going to keep spinning forever. And so the stuff
33:31
Speaker 1: is moving and it ends up in orbit. Right. It's
33:33
Speaker 1: like asking why doesn't the Moon fall to the Earth
33:35
Speaker 1: Because it's moving so fast that it doesn't fall. That
33:38
Speaker 1: keeps going around the Earth instead of falling the same
33:41
Speaker 1: way the Earth is. And the stuff that made the
33:43
Speaker 1: Earth is not going to fall into the Sun because
33:44
Speaker 1: it's moving fast enough and it comes from that initial rotation.
33:48
Speaker 1: Oh I see, So even though we get the Sun,
33:51
Speaker 1: there's still stuff out there spinning around. It doesn't want
33:54
Speaker 1: to fall into the Sun. Yeah, exactly, it's moving too
33:56
Speaker 1: fast fall into the center. So it's too good to
33:58
Speaker 1: be the Sun. It doesn't want to r up against
34:03
Speaker 1: the Sun. Right, But why why does it form at
34:05
Speaker 1: the planets? Like, like Jack said, some of someone just
34:08
Speaker 1: stays as asteroid belts like debris, but some of it
34:11
Speaker 1: forms into planets. Eventually it'll all gathered together. Like you
34:14
Speaker 1: fast forward the Solar System a billion years or so,
34:16
Speaker 1: and you'll have a smaller number of bigger asteroids. Eventually
34:20
Speaker 1: these all come together. So that's about will be a planet.
34:24
Speaker 1: I don't know about one planet, but like will still
34:28
Speaker 1: really billion billions of years, we could have a new
34:32
Speaker 1: place of visit in the same way rings turned into moons, right,
34:35
Speaker 1: Rings are not a stable situation for a planet really
34:38
Speaker 1: gathered together and turned it into moons. Yeah, like the
34:41
Speaker 1: Earth probably had rings for a while after he got
34:43
Speaker 1: hit by some other Plorida planet and created all this
34:45
Speaker 1: debris that surrounded it which formed the moon. We probably
34:48
Speaker 1: had some awesome set of rings which then gathered together
34:51
Speaker 1: into a moon. So Saturn's on its way to having
34:54
Speaker 1: a moon. Yeah, we don't know how old the rings
34:56
Speaker 1: of Saturn are, but we think they're not very old.
34:58
Speaker 1: I mean they're millions of years sure, but on the
35:01
Speaker 1: Solar System time scale, they're pretty young, and so that
35:03
Speaker 1: stuff eventually is going to gather together and form larger objects.
35:06
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, okay, but each but also each planet got
35:11
Speaker 1: different stuff based on where it was in the Solar System. Right,
35:14
Speaker 1: The closer stuff got the rocks that were left over
35:16
Speaker 1: not much gas because they got sucked up by the sun.
35:18
Speaker 1: Stuff on the outside is like mostly gas. Like if
35:20
Speaker 1: you look at what's inside Jupiter, crazy right, super compressed
35:25
Speaker 1: and like metallic hydrogen. It's not hydrogen. Yeah, it sounds
35:30
Speaker 1: like a color for a new iPhone or something, right,
35:34
Speaker 1: we just call it silver. But but the marketing genius
35:38
Speaker 1: is over. I mean you often hear Jupiter described as
35:42
Speaker 1: a gas giant. People think, oh, it's just a big
35:43
Speaker 1: ball of gas. It's gas, and then it's hydrogen. But
35:46
Speaker 1: it's not in gaseous state, right, some of it's like solid.
35:49
Speaker 1: So you could land on Jupiter because it's like it's
35:52
Speaker 1: metallic hydrogen covered by like an ocean of liquid hydrogen
35:56
Speaker 1: and then gas on top of it. So it has
35:58
Speaker 1: an atmosphere, but there's an ocean of liquid hydrogen. I mean,
36:01
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend going there without something like pretty nice equipment, right,
36:05
Speaker 1: But there's a pretty pretty radiation, but there's something solid
36:09
Speaker 1: there to land on. Well I read that, um, like
36:12
Speaker 1: these gas planet gas planets out there, they represent ninety
36:17
Speaker 1: of the mass of the Solar system. So it's it's like,
36:19
Speaker 1: it's most of the Solar system except for the Sun. Yeah, yeah,
36:22
Speaker 1: it's the Sun. Are are in these gas giants way
36:26
Speaker 1: out there? Yeah, exactly, most of the mass in the
36:28
Speaker 1: Solar systems the Sun. It's like then, of that one percent,
36:32
Speaker 1: most of it's the gas giant planets. Because remember the
36:36
Speaker 1: Earth is about one tenth of the radius of Jupiter,
36:38
Speaker 1: which is about one tenth the radius of the Sun. Right,
36:41
Speaker 1: all right, right, right, yeah, remember that. I just remember
36:44
Speaker 1: as a kid, they're like, there could be I don't
36:46
Speaker 1: remember the number, but it's like so many earths could
36:48
Speaker 1: fit in the Sun. And I was like, yeah, right,
36:50
Speaker 1: miss Holton, I'm out of here. I don't need this.
36:54
Speaker 1: I'm in third grade. But you always forget that volume
36:58
Speaker 1: goes by like the radius cube, so you can fit
37:00
Speaker 1: It's only ten times wider, but you could fit a
37:03
Speaker 1: thousand earths into you could fit a thousand jupiters into
37:06
Speaker 1: the Sun. Right, So it's a yeah, So that's the number,
37:09
Speaker 1: millionaire A million, yeah, million, A cool mill exactly. Yeah,
37:14
Speaker 1: so you're right, Jupiter is huge and most of the
37:16
Speaker 1: stuff that's not in the Sun is in Jupiter gobbled
37:20
Speaker 1: up all this stuff. But we should be grateful, right
37:22
Speaker 1: active Jupiter being really big could have saved our lives
37:26
Speaker 1: because asteroids that would destroy Earth get sucked into Jupiter. Yeah, exactly.
37:32
Speaker 1: It's acting like a linebacker out there, like cleaning out
37:35
Speaker 1: the Solar system and gathering all that stuff. Um. I
37:38
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys remember, but like twenty years
37:39
Speaker 1: ago or so, there was a huge comment to enter
37:41
Speaker 1: the Solar system and then like slammed right into Jupiter.
37:44
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah comment Shoemaker Levy was really awesome. They
37:47
Speaker 1: got broken shoemaker, I remember that. Yeah. Yeah, it's slamming
37:51
Speaker 1: a Jupiter and each piece that hit it we got
37:53
Speaker 1: broken in like twenty pieces made a huge fireball, like
37:55
Speaker 1: bigger than the Earth. But that he hit up us,
38:00
Speaker 1: it would have caused a big wave. Who would have
38:04
Speaker 1: had we'd probably recording a very different podcasting. Yeah. So yeah,
38:10
Speaker 1: shout out to Jupiter. Thank you so much for you do.
38:12
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much of a debt wheel to Jupiter.
38:15
Speaker 1: I have a new appreciation for it. Cool. So that's
38:21
Speaker 1: the answer to planet information is it is just gravity
38:25
Speaker 1: and stuff just that doesn't want to fall into the
38:28
Speaker 1: sun out there. It starts to clump together. We get
38:31
Speaker 1: the leftovers and we get a beautiful Earth with beautiful
38:34
Speaker 1: sunsets exactly, exactly, and some call that magic. All right, Well,
38:43
