Current physics master's student here. 99% of the time that I was listening to the astro-pal I was having fun, enjoying how a far better teacher than me explains concepts I already know. But then the binary systems stuff hit me. Thinking that Jupiter was close to be a star. Like very close. And we treated him like a fluffy-oversized version of a planet for 4000 years. If only he was 20 times bigger... We would not be here! 20 jupiter masses, compeared to the sun, is like a glass of water compeared to a swimming pool!! A very insignificant mass dislocation, for a borning star. I won't sleep this night, thinking about this.

Yeah the sun has 1000 Jupiter masses so the solar system has enough matter to have have created several low mass stars during it's development but for some reason the sun got the lion's share.

Depending on exactly how it "ends" it could take a mind boggling amount of time, maybe as long as 10^10000 years. That's a googol times a googol of years. A googol (10^100) is such an absurdly large number that I never thought I'd see it used non-sarcastically. It's about one hundred billion billion times the number of atoms in the universe. So IF you can imagine a one followed by a hundred zeroes, that's a googol. If you can imagine a googol of googols, that's how many years it might take for the universe to end. I know that I explained the same thing about three times, I'm being bit dramatic because 10^10000 years is a freaking long time. It's maybe possible that the universe will "end" or "die" or collapse in upon itself in as "little" as 10^120 years, maybe less. We can't reliably predict, at least not yet, what will be the ultimate fate of the universe and each possibility has it's own timescale.

11:40 for anyone who wants an explanation for this, here it is: As our velocity increases, our clocks tick slower (moving through time slower) than an observer that is in another frame of reference, not just that, but another phenomenon occurs called length contraction, it’s when our physical length contracts or in other words, we become shorter / flattened more in the way we travel. This means light will essentially have more time and less distance to travel to, it’s called Special Relativity and he has also mentioned it in this video. To conclude, as we approach the speed of light, our time ticks slower and slower, and our bodies and everything else moving at our speed, becomes shorter to the way it’s traveling, giving light more time and less distance.

For the "nothing can travel faster than the speed of light" stuff, can you confirm that this is not entirely true since light slows down in a medium. Also, woukd there really be the same amount of matter right now as the start of the universe since antimatter exists and there was more of it at the start?

@@mathieurenaud2254 There are 2 ways to explain the light slowing down in a medium. 1. It does 2. Photons take longer routes Not entirely sure which one is THE correct one but sure, you're correct in a way. By matter, I meant energy, E = mc^2, sorry for the confusion.

​@@HarpSeal only the perceived speed is lower. The photons keep getting absorbed and remitted but that process takes a little time which will make it look like the photon traveled faster while it actually never slowed down

7:28 People usually only think of the speed of light as the speed at which light travels, but it's also related to what holds the atoms together. If the speed of light wasn't an absolute constant, subatomic particles would behave very differently.

Its easier to think of the speed of light as the constant limit of speed in the universe for anything. Photons travel at that speed (along with radio waves, UV rays, Gamma rays, Infrared light etc) because they have no mass, but they are unable to go faster than that, as is its the limit of universal speed, for the reasons that Paul has explained.
