Gregory Samuel Teo The Greeks pronounced it "oo-rah-nos" (not "oo-rah-noos"). The Latin word for it is Uranus, pronounced "oo-rah-noos", but they couldn't confuse it with "anus" because the syllables are "thrown" in a different "tempo". But anyway, the Romans knew of that Greek god Ouranos, whom they called Uranus, but they didn't worship him as much (if at all) as their own god of the sky, "Caelus". As for modern languages, planet then deity: English: "Uranus" / "Uranus" French: "Uranus" / "Uranus" German: "Uranos" / "Uranus" Italian: "Urano" / "Urano" Spanish: "Urano" / "Urano" In English, French and German, the "-us" part does sound like in "anus". But French don't make jokes about that. I'm not sure about Germans but I'm pretty sure they don't either. In English however you have to make an effort not to see that joke coming.

aaron Gregor It's all about mass, gravity, and the ellipses that make up the shape of orbits. Two things acting gravitationally with each other will cause the their elliptical paths to predictably distort. If you do the math to predict future distortions and the object isn't there when the future comes, either your math was wrong or there's another mass causing different distortions. A whole bunch of complicated back-work to figure out what kind of mass would be needed where to get the locations you actually saw in that future and, so long as your math is correct, you'll find what's out there throwing things off.
@alveolate9 жыл бұрын
valentijnraw this is most likely due to the way gravity works. the mathematicians used orbital mechanics to predict their newfound planets' future locations, so when they failed to follow the predicted path, they had to account for something extra, like another planet's orbit and gravity.

This solar system have so many resources we can plunder! If only we had the technology... :(
@foobargorch9 жыл бұрын
***** That notion that our resources are valuable just because of their desirability which is high because of their of their scarcity is kind of silly, but lets put aside the fact that desirability hikes up the price for a moment and pretend that their value was determined rationally. Diamonds are very useful, but their value doesn't have much to do with that usefulness, it's got more to with how hard they are to obtain, or if we oversimplify how much energy is required to get diamonds. Unfortunately there's no real way out of that energy cost, and it would be much higher there than on earth pretty much regardless of the technology. Extracting diamonds from a gas giant requires far more energy for precisely the same reason that they have an abundance of what we consider resources here on earth. I guess my point is that I think it makes more sense to think about this sort of plundering solar systems in terms of energy than in terms of materials, because that's where the real fundamental difficulties lie, it is by far the biggest limiting factor here on earth and dominates even more the farther we go. And if we were to somehow overcome those difficulties regarding the energy, that would probably completely change the rules for what is even considered valuable or a resource...
@Bidmartinlo9 жыл бұрын
foobargorch I'm thinking real value in metals, water and gas. Although, gas giants are the plunderer's dream; I guess a more realistic, but dangerous, is asteroid/ moon mining. There would be so much to take back to Earth, not to mention the jobs. Still... technology... :\
@foobargorch9 жыл бұрын
***** To mine an asteroid you would probably need to deorbit it around the sun, bring it back to earth, etc, which requires huge amounts of energy, but is still sort of feasible because we can at least conceive of doing this to the entire asteroid, to the point that it might still be cheaper than getting it out of the earth (where we would pay mostly in terms of processing, not in terms of delta V) But to extract materials out of a huge gravitational well such as a massive planet is incredibly expensive in terms of energy, we'd have to launch something from earth, which is already very expensive, which would also store enough energy to get things back to earth. The rocket equation applies twice in both cases, but since the escape velocity for the route back is so much bigger, this makes the equation applying to sending the equipment all the more worse. For technology to drastically change the way the energy costs compound to actually make use of those materials, I think we would probably need to be advanced enough that taking things back to earth, jobs, etc would probably be irrelevant anyway, most likely we'll have divorced consciousness from meat before that.

foobargorch Asteroid mining (whether done entirely robotically, or not) would certainly give humanity the resources necessary to enter a post-scarcity economy. If every base material is plentiful, then it makes sense that most synthesized material, like food, would be plentiful as well. But maybe not. Carbon is plentiful, but why don't we all have diamonds? But that's no reason to call the whole idea off. I guess we'll just have to try it and find out! Of course, any chemical rocket would be woefully unprepared for this kind of task, whether it's to send refining equipment to the asteroid and mine it there for valuables and in-situ rocket fuel, or to literally bring the entire asteroid to Earth and mine it while it's in our orbit. Fortunately, chemical rockets are not the only things that could do it. Ion drives are more efficient (but take much longer), and what's stopping us from developing VASIMR rockets or nuclear salt-water reactors or fusion drives or antimatter propulsion or so forth? The current laws of physics certainly support rapid and easy interplanetary travel, even without warp drives or reactionless engines. We could build these technologies right now, and extracting extraterrestrial materials would become relatively easy.
@foobargorch9 жыл бұрын
***** I think I should try to rearticulate my point, it isn't clear enough. Regardless of the propulsion method, any flux of useful matter per unit time into the earth from space is proportional to the amount of energy invested in that process, and is more or less the same. And we don't have that energy within our reach yet. We definitely have the technology for it, but that's just one hurdle. Sure, hypothetical propulsion methods have better energy densities (with some ideas you can even keep the energy on earth, and just carry propellants), but that's more of an efficiency improvement, at the end of the day to accelerate that mass. So for asteroids this acceleration is reasonable, but for other planets, it's a completely different ballpark. But bear in mind we have plenty of stuff here on earth, for which energy is also a limiting factor, we've barely scratched the surface, and I mean that quite literally. Mining asteroids makes economic sense when the cost of asteroid mining is still better than concentrating or refining those materials here, but this only applies to rare materials. It would certainly be valuable (and totally awesome) to do that, but I don't think it's a game changer, with the current state of affairs. The real game changer would be for humanity to become rational about energy, to respect low entropy energy, to make the best of it, to invest in infrastructure. I'm not holding my breath... If we can overcome this limiting factor, then I guess the next limiting factor could be materials, and not just specific special purpose materials that would justify the investment. So, while I totally agree that it makes sense to mine space and it's mind boggling just how much useful stuff is out there, we really can't do anything useful with it until we learn how to do (i.e. apply energy). We're still basically just monkeys playing with fire, our impact is minuscule. And given our track record perhaps that's a good thing ;-) I suspect if we ever graduate to energy scales that would allow this to make sense, then the assumption that bringing stuff to us is how we need to use it won't necessarily hold. If we have the luxury of reconfiguring the solar system we will probably have a purpose for that reconfiguration that could be implemented without necessarily being very earth-centric. For example, suppose we need rare metals for building computing hardware which are in abundance in asteroids (just making shit up here). When we're in a position where that's both a necessity and a possibility, don't you think it's likely that we'll have gained the ability to just convert the entire asteroid belt into a giant computer using some self replicating technology, without any net change in the momentum of the materials? That's fundamentally what I have a hard time accepting, that once our abilities allow us to actually effect changes of that magnitude on our environment, our needs will still be rooted in today's paradigms, which are still confined to a very thin coating of stuff on a giant rock free falling around the sun... And while I really would like to see humanity putting aside it's idiocy, and everyone joining together to form an egalitarian meritocracy that governs itself rationally and sustainably, without bureaucracy or war or poverty or any of the other anthropocentric and anthropogenic problems that are holding us back from making these ideas a reality, the sad truth is that we seem to be just too stupid and evil, at least so far, and that's a much more difficult problem to overcome than energy or material scarcity. I hope that makes more sense, I'm not really good at conveying the subtleties of my position...

One thing wasn't clear to me though. If Uranus is tilted 98 degrees, what plane their moons orbit? Solar system plane or Uranus plane?
@nixdorfbrazil9 жыл бұрын
So if a big impact changed Uranus Axial tilt, you would expect that perhaps some of their moons would be orbiting on a different plane. I mean, of course a planet that big can dag the orbits of most of their moons, and with time make them orbit it`s plane. But all 27 moons? Unless they were all formed after the impact or the impact was too long ago. Mystery!

You made a mistake at 1:15 about Uranus. It is the only planet named after a GREEK god. All the others use Roman names. If they "kept with the nomenclature Roman gods" Uranus's name would be named Caelus. Please correct this. Side note: if we followed the proper (Greek) pronunciation of Uranus It would sound like Oo-Rah-Noos.

In tradition of naming the planets after ROMAN gods they named it Uranus....a GREEK god. It’s name should be Caelus Pronounced ky-loose I think. It’s a shame that one of the coolest if not the most interesting planet in our solar system will never get any respect or recognition because it’s name sounds like a butt hole. On another note though, Uranus is the god of gods, the supreme god, so maybe having a name that sounds like butt hole, is more appropriate than anything else..you know cuz most gods are butt holes

Thank you very much for making this video, Phil Plait and the others at _SciShow_ Astronomy! Really interesting to learn about Uranus and Neptune. I just have one question: how you did a single video about these ice giants and not two separate videos, i.e. one for Uranus and one for Neptune? Was there not enough information about each planet? _Wikipedia_ wrote two different articles, one for Uranus and one of Naptune, so why should you do one video about them?

Great vid! Here's why Uranus is tilted: Another rocky planet with a moon (Triton) passed close enough to Uranus to tip it on its side. Gravity interaction with Uranus flung the visiting planet and moon outward where the planet collided with Neptune, causing Neptune to actually SWALLOW the planet, with the result that Triton continued to orbit Neptune in retrograde fashion. This not only explains Triton's nonstandard orbit, but also the fact that Neptune is warmer than Uranus, even though Uranus is closer to the sun.
