Cosmic Queries: Space and Science Part 2 (Full Episode)

Ready for even more of your Cosmic Queries about space and science with guest host Bill Nye the Science Guy and comic co-host Chuck Nice? Find out what Bill thinks we should explore next with the Large Hadron Collider and whether plant life on exoplanets orbiting weaker red dwarf stars might use photosynthesis. Discover the best ways to change the trajectory of an Earth-bound asteroid and which comets have came closest to Earth without hitting us. You'll learn about microwave clock circuits, global positioning satellites, the impact of technology on human evolution, the interaction of gravity in multi-planet systems and how to figure out the gravitational attraction between a man and a woman -- although Chuck offers his own way to solve that problem. Plus, get Bill's take on dealing with the anti-vaccine crowd and climate change deniers.

[@desmondgomes3543]

Hey Bill, This may never get read but I just have to say it. You are the reason I always loved science as a kid and very sad I never truly pursued the field. This series has shown me once again why you made a such a difference in children across america and maybe the world. If I ever pursue science, I hope to have mentors as passionate as yourself. You are on my top 10 list for someone I would love to share a pitcher/coffee with.

[@Denosophem]

I’m one of 13 that read it. The 13th apostolic person

[@Fear605]

I love what a goof ball Bill Nye is! love this show..

[@MalekoSaint]

More of these, please. I really do enjoy the longer episodes.

*New Video: Watch our new full length Cosmic Queries video, w/ guest host Bill Nye the Science Guy and comic co-host Chuck Nice* Cosmic Queries: Space and Science Part 2 (Full Episode)

[@AndrewWickham]

Hello Neil Degrasse Tyson & Bill Nye. I have a question for you. Does airflow has a speed limit? What is the fastest a gust of air can go? How much does gravity affect it's limit? Thanks!

[@mohamadsamii1974]

A

[@BlackEpyon]

Andrew Wickham I think that air can flow up to the speed of sound (~1200Km/h). Past that, it simply compresses against itself

[@igorflexus9493]

Thanx for uploading! Love it!

[@LockStockNBarrel]

About time we got a full episode!

[@Evitable]

@15:40 "I don't think you can watch too much Star Trek. I've tried. I haven't overdosed yet. I'm fine. I could quit if I wanted." -Bill Nye ST4life!

[@SleepIsBoring]

I had no idea this existed until CinemaSins pointed me here. That is a sin in itself. Instantly subscribed, can't wait to watch every single video.

[@JacobHayden911]

"As a Machanical Engineer, I took a lot of physics. I know what you're thinkin'. 'Did you put it back?' AAHAHA!!" XD Bill is so silly!

[@akarimsiddiqui7572]

Chuck, you seem to be using a Samsung tablet ie Android. There is an option to keep the screen on under settings > developer > screen on

[@NotMattForman]

Vanilla all the way. I have your back Bill. Although I do love having the cookie dough bits thrown in to the mix.

[@L3zer]

beautiful, it is a pleasure watching you gentlemen. I thank you for your existence.

[@MRTZ1897]

More full episodes to youtube!

[@IndyTheGreat]

Bill Nye is an excellent guest host, I can't wait for Neil and Bill to eventually host an episode together.

[@Minecraftinite]

"I like vanilla" "Who invited you anyway?" *fist fight ensues*

[@m3xicanSuperman]

Love you guys! This show is awesome!

[@josetadeo4649]

keep posting full videos!

[@Ab.Stat.]

Thank you cinemasins!

[@dreamsofinvasion]

the vanilla ice cream bit reminds of the movie Thank You for Smoking. So funny

[@DolphinSneeze69]

bill nye for president

[@presadisticlaw9717]

+ak47adultswim If bernie sanders wasn't running. Bill nye for VP.

[@DolphinSneeze69]

yess

[@presadisticlaw9717]

and neil degrasse tyson for secretary of education.

[@Jazz-li]

Bill Nye for president of the world.

[@haydenmurphy29]

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY (intro theme follows afterwards)

[@itoncemighthave9666]

Those overly intamite opening introductions with chuck nice are awkardly funny lol

[@AndrewRainesGuitars]

aeronautics AND music? someone after my own heart!

[@elydustin]

Hilarious AND Informative!

[@DJLiddle]

Bill was on fire this episode! 🔥

[@mefninja]

please make all the video nice and long like these!!!

[@EdGloss]

Bill, it's called a universal translator. The aliens are speaking in their native languages and the translators they are all using do the heavy lifting.

[@IFGchannel931]

+Ed Gloss But why do they see the aliens' mouths also pronouncing english words? Would be better if we could hear a faint sound and see the mouth movements of an alien language, with the voice of the translator louder than the rest...

[@ArrayGamer]

+Igor Freitas That would be nice for accuracy, but lets be honest, who wants to see random mouth movements every time a non-human speaks for entire series'

[@seanpeery7780]

+Trey B (ArrayGamer) That would be awesome. Especially if they went through the effort like in LOTR to make an actual language. And use non humanoid aliens that communicate non verbally. I'd pay to watch that.

[@tatotato85]

40min still too short! keep em coming much grateful

[@JackieFrankieful]

MORE PLS MOOOORE ! i demand MOOOOOOORE ! awesome show good job.

[@patrickmurray6567]

Looks like Bill Nye is "Dancing with the Startalk Radio"

[@ArcturusMinsk]

re: 35:48 A woman who was blind in one eye has been married to a man for 20 years. When he found another woman he said to her, “I shall divorce you because you are said to be blind in one eye.” And she answered him: “20 years of marriage and you just noticed that now?” (Egyptian circa 1100 BC)

[@povilasrackauskas857]

From my understanding photons are essentially force carriers for electromagnetism. Strong nuclear interaction's force carrier is a particle that goes by the name of gluon. I believe gluons have energy therefore they should be effected by strong gravitation. Sorry for my bad English

[@sylviebutts]

i love bill nye. and his love for vanilla ice cream.

[@DemiseCatastrophic]

Letting the Red Queen be involved anywhere near that project sounds like a horrible idea....or a great one for a new Resident Evil movie.

[@fredrickvanriler7986]

IMO: Bill Nye is a polymath “genius” way ahead of his era; his seemingly “unsophisticated” and “subadult” locutions, have clearly been shown to be ways to get the “layman” involved our Earthly dilemmas, and it’s his natural cheerful, unintimidating, and comical personality that opens a “pathway”, indeed a first of its kind, between Scientific orthodoxies and the rudimentary “thoughts” of ordinary, daily human life.

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

"Why" are you "Typing" like "This"? It gets "Annoying" to look at after a "While."

[@nickrinker9677]

Can y’all do an episode explaining third and fourth dimensions and how The fourth dimension is time?

[@assaultedpeanut9]

Zoom cam!! well done cameraman

[@ShinbrigTV]

A funny coincidence, Vsauce was just uploaded a video about "What would happen if the earth's rotation stopped" and it goes into detail about the equator.

[@MrJpferreyra]

if... 4th dimention is time, does that means we can theorically... move forward or backawards in time ?

[@Milennin]

Vanilla icecream masterrace. :)

[@l0lwutbro]

How haven't I found this until now?

[@dustinskater2060]

Vanilla ice cream is the best

[@voiped]

Put Bill and Niel together!

[@desromic]

Latin word for "dark" is "obscuro." Maybe someday soon we will hear about the discovery of the "obscuron."

[@avocado241]

Watching this in 2020

[@daytonthodos9915]

How would I submit my question for cosmic queries?

[@gabrieljosefson7467]

Party on!!

[@peacekkqmark]

Startalk: Asking the real questions and then never answering them because we have to cut to commercial.

[@SocietyOfDecency]

Vanilla is the best!

[@MrShadyFigure]

OMG! 20:50 MY DIRTY MIND..... LOLOL THEY LOVE SMASHING! XD

[@johnimusic12]

20:55......."reproduce" those results LOL.

[@Phi1618033]

Bill Nye the Bow-tied Guy

[@UkiMalefu]

Bow-ties are cool.

[@realbrock7789]

Party on Bill Nye

[@hak4fak]

"they love smashing and they learn something every time they smash" damn physics people are badass

[@user-pu8ch3ih1u]

Energy exchange limit or limit for two point to interact. it is a bit hard to write down this thought for me. if two points have relative speed more then speed of light, they not able to interact. but they can interact through the third point. (exactly like dark matter) (try to imagine world WITH OUT this).

[@davidabramovitch4289]

Didn't a lot of comets hit Earth in the early solar system (which is why we have water)?

[@The_Crimson_Fucker]

Here is a thought, two binary planets(one slightly larger than the other), both with advanced life(let's say at our level), both aware of each-other, both in contact, though rare, and both with drastically different species of animals and plants and such(even the "predominant" species - their version of us, effectively), maybe even chemical compositions. Wouldn't that just be fantastic? Even more, what if they both shared a moon, and that moon had life(of the simpler variety) on it, but nobody knew about it? I wonder how that scenario would play out.

[@joshoconnell2104]

I love that his last name is nice considering he sounds like one of the nicest people ever, lol.

[@mish165]

CinemaSins Brought Me here

[@mrhawkins7931]

I do have a question. not sure if it has been answered yet.. Could we use the moon as a launching point to travel the solar system? It has lower gravity, yet no atmosphere, but with the advances in technology, is combustion necessary?

[@comicbstudios]

Atmosphere is not needed, infact it makes it easier

[@mrhawkins7931]

then can we set up a space station there and use that as our launching point? I would imagine it would make it easier to get to Mars. Also, what if we set up a telescope on the dark side of the moon? Would we see more clearly?

[@comicbstudios]

A telescope on dark side of moon would be about the same as one in orbit of earth, as a launching platform it could work but it would probably be more expensive than the amount costed to launch from earth

[@boy4everjoy]

*CinemaSins*

[@aerikhubble-messier5771]

Does everyone watch these on you tube or are there really peeps that have to listen on an AM Transistor Radio? :)

[@dougholmes1627]

Responding to Bill's answer regarding language.. I think the future will bring a very different vision where the NEED to know more than one language is completely wiped from existence. I think the last 10 or so years has begun to illustrate this through technology. Right now I can ask my phone to translate anything I say into any other language. In 50 years, I would hypothesize that the translation technology would completely negate the need to ever learn anything beyond your own basic language. Similar to a Star Trek communicator I guess.

[@zsanterre]

35:28 lol -.-

[@Psytheslasher]

So gravity effects age? why does being in space age you slightly more less compared to being on earth?

[@madsplaysss]

Gravity only affects age if you are being moved through it. It's more speed that affects age because space and time and interlocked with one another. This is the reason why if we moved faster than the speed of light Your mass becomes Infinite and you essneitally wouldn't be capable of sustaining any material bonds. Consider it like X and Y lattitude and longitude.

[@Whistleblr]

Hi I'a 57 year old guy who stopped using his math skills so long ago its a wonder I can get 2+2 correctly, I'm currently taking algebra lessons on line (the free ones) and it's tougher then I thought, but I need to know man! Anyway I cant seem to get the hang of it, it's weird I understand the idea but man it's going slow, but man I just need to know. I just joined the Planetary Society and now I'm afraid one day I might bump into say Bill Nye or Neil deGrasse Tyson and I cant even answer the simple of math questions. I'm not going to give up! I just hope if I should get lucky and personally mother members of the P.S. I'm not an embarrassment!

[@MarkoLomovic]

Well it is not surprising it goes slow especially because of your age but with enough practices it should get easy as time goes but you will always move to more harder and harder problems so its always going to feel like that get used to it and enjoy euraka moments MAN :)

[@izaccy]

Go to the site mathisfun dot com and just use the site is pretty neat and fun

[@TheScum4life]

did nye say dark archons?

[@BeCurieUs]

With strong enough photon energies, you can actually cause "photofission" whereby the atom discombobulates under the intense energy imparted by the photon. The amount of energy to do this is huge, and it isn't doing anything TO the strong force, except overpowering it and smashing the atom. Also, gravity can become strong enough to rip apart atomic bonds. This is what is known as degenerate matter. Neutron stars are a type of degenerate matter whereby gravity overpower normal nuclear bonds and turn themselves into a stew of tightly packed neutrons.

[@jamieg2427]

That's so sexy.

[@c25ole]

dat length tho

[@kaminpallaghy7027]

is 6:24 a Seinfeld quote??

[@zsanterre]

29:54 lol ...country

[@nicholasd1717]

is the forth dimension time though? because i know Stephen Hawkins is an avid "believer" in M-theory which describes an eleven dimensional universe with one as time, so wouldn't time be the first dimension and all others dimensions stem it?

[@samreynolds6181]

Nicholas Deeken It doesn't matter what order you put the dimensions in, the math still works out the same. Naming the dimensions is really just an aid for the sake of organization and ease of understanding.

[@MasqueradeCrew]

Google Plus was so 6 years ago.

[@Hermboldt]

22:37 meme this

[@Noosphericallyl33t]

Cmon guys havnt you ever heard of KakiKing??

[@PeggyJame]

2-men on the moon with oxygen tanks attached

[@zeromancer-x]

Bow ties are cool

[@r.b.4611]

Bill Nye should say dare I say it, and wait until people start speaking and then yell over the top of them CHANGE THE WORLD. Constantly.

[@johnm5169]

To the camera man: please stop slow zooming in on bill nye every time he talks, lol.

[@spudpro123]

Bill bill bill

[@MarkoLomovic]

Why is there freaking brake every 7 mins XD

[@Yogamannn]

Maybe aliens are so advanced they can jump between dimensions and we can never catch them even if we wanted to they can be right next to us and we wouldn't even realize.

[@erikrodriguez3829]

Gravioli's

[@j-dubb614]

I too love smashing and learn something every time I smash.

[@istvansipos9940]

Star Trek here, creationism in some other videos I watched today, so here is my question: if I lived in the US, what would piss of people more / more people: the fact that I am an atheist, not even baptised or that I dont like the original Star Trek series?

[@foytdie6128]

the vast majority of americans wouldnt care about your atheism, or any other religious beliefs you have, what is particularly annoying tho is that you dont like the original star trek, have you tried the bluray version?

[@istvansipos9940]

foytdie haha. no. but I like the Picard crew and I love the new 3 films, especially the first one, where the crew is formed. And the barfight scene is awesome. And to the topic of atheism: I have seen many movies where the guest of a family gets the privilege to say a blessing before a meal. That would be a funny situation for an atheist

[@foytdie6128]

im an atheist too and have never encountered that, the only time i go along with it is at funerals where they do that hand holding bit for a final prayer for the recently departed. it just wouldnt be morally right to shit on someones beliefs at a time such as that.

[@jsolo8752]

why the hell are there so many breaks in all of these talks

[@PeggyJame]

Books.

[@fairweathertrains3029]

@30:50 it's clearly edited they have this exact conversation earlier or in part one. Rather than show Bill's answer to the "prove climate change data is real" question they just edited it over with a previous conversation... Wtf

[@codrinvechiu2832]

where's neal?

[@UkiMalefu]

I guess doing Cosmos takes all his time.

[@PixelCortex]

Isn't he shooting more Cosmos?

[@codrinvechiu2832]

PixelCortex first season is done

[@TheOJDrinker]

Universal Translator... they don't speak perfect english, the crew (and the audience) hears perfect english. Same with Doctor Who.

[@JaketheBakedSsnake]

These two guys are a couple of cosmic queeries. (Jk these guys are great)

[@malof7514]

to me the 4. dimention is just the 3. dimention stacked infinetly on top of the other With extremly smal changes. and we preser those changes as we move thru time as time. the reason i descibe it like this and i realy wonder wy i cant find anyone describing it like this. to me it is only Natural to describe the 4. dimention like htis but n my description the 4. dimention might not be time but rather a comletly other dimention. wel here is my reason for describing it like so firstly take a point just a point that is 0 dimentions. if you want the first dimention that is a line you need an infinita amount of dimention 0 stacked With slight diference from the last. same With the second dimention take an infinite amount of dimention 1 and stack it and all are slightly diferent. like when you see a painting if you take and cut it in realy realy tiny strips and look at 2 that are NeXT to the other you wil see werry litle diference. and NeXT the Third dimention is like the others it is the second dimention stacked infinitly With slight diferences. just look at an immage crated from scanning a brain when you look at it you sykle thru ALOT of 2d Pictures With slight diferences between everyone of them. and all those make the Third dimention. so With this in mind when all the dimentions we know Works like this wy cant the 4. dimention work like this as wel.

[@john291182]

cinema sins sent me this is 3rd vid av watch today subscribe

[@ButterflyAngle12]

I've been watching these guys for 3 months and stop believing in God

[@Mr_Porter]

12:05 C'mon bro...every joke that he says isn't "laugh out loud" material.

[@dapencilshinobi]

Bill is such a yuppy. LoL

[@rikkifurey5670]

hi bill love your work but wish you would use the word theory in the right way. when u mean fact say so if u look in a dictionary theory means fact it is number 1 on the list an idear is diferent and is number 3 in the oxford English dictionary and number 2 in the collins but number 1 is always FACT. that's how uneducated especily religous people get confused funny how they do not say gravity is just a idear or germ theory is just a idear people need to use the right way when they r in the public eye to get used to what the word realy means. people take the word ignorant as a insult but if someone said that to me i would say YES I AM IGNORANT SO R U SO IS EVERY BODY no 1 person in the world knows everything so we r all ignorant of a lot of thing's i'm ignorent of cricket i have not got a clue about it dont understand it nothing wrong with that and in the dictionary that is what the word ignorant means ( I DO NOT KNOW) there is not a thing wrong with saying I DO NOT KNOW in fact it takes a bigger person to admit that insted of making some shit up to sound like u know the answer because u make your self sound and look a dick head. keep up the great work bill i love science and biology evolutionary biology is my passion i love evolution by none random selection great minds think alike in the case of A.R.Wallace and C.R.Darwin i only with Darwin lived to see J.Watson and F.Crick decode the struture of the double helix D.N.A he would of been thrilled and amazed. love your books and neil's reading the death by black hole NOW i have read his others but never got round to reading this 1 can not put it down great book nearly as good and wity as the badly missed Christopher Hitchens. i read L.Krouss a universe from nothing great book i thought that there can be no such thing as nothing years ago after i started getting in to phisics after reading the great R.Fynman.

[@lwbossie]

I absolutely love bill nye but am I the only one who feels like hes a sell out, right after these messages.

[@N3rdb0yy]

Not to mention the lifespan of a Red Dwarf is vastly longer than our own sun (until it's eventual collapse consumes the Earth in the distant future), so life on planets orbiting a Red Dwarf could be Ancient.

[@Jman21UK]

Bill Nye looks like hes from the 1800s, maybe its the bow tie lol
