@@BineroBE No, it would not. Helium comes from the Sun on solar winds and gets trapped in the regolith. What you've read about it on the Moon is that there is a higher concentration of its isotope, Helium 3, on the Moon. Getting helium or its isotope from regolith is a megaproject on such a scale... I mean, you'd need mining and refining facility to process thousands upon thousands of tons of regolith for a miniscule amount of gas.

So how do you make a joke about an element for goodness sake? (The second one on the periodic table - one of my personal favourites.) Well Dara did it. Really clever stuff. And we are running out of helium which will be a bit of a problem.

[@sorrowandsufferin924]

Nuclear fusion is the only real way to produce helium. You can't use nuclear fission (what happens in power plants, atomic bombs, and radioactive waste) because you need to put more energy into the reaction than you're getting out if you're doing it on that side of iron. So the only way to do it is nuclear fusion, which we're working on. If current theories hold up and engineers find economical ways to build these massive reactors, they might just replace nuclear power (the main advantage of nuclear fusion is that, when something goes wrong, the reaction just stops). And the best part is, the foundation of nuclear fusion would by hydrogen - positively the most common element in the universe. What we really need is a "how?".

So you can imagine how much I enjoyed hearing a very irritating advert for Guiness, 3 times. Advice to the marketing bods at Guiness: 1) Make a short funny advert that makes me laugh---don'tuse irritating music. 2) Get the recipe changed to make it taste much better, so I might want to buy some Guiness.

Funny stuff, as always Dara, but there is no shortage of helium. The only reason there has been a shortage of readily available helium is because the US government stopped stockpiling it (left over from the cold war and the nuclear arms race) and started selling it off because it was a waste of money to maintain the stockpile. We spew piles of helium into the atmosphere as waste gas when mining and capturing natural gas daily. Why? Because there has been no money in bothering to keep it after it is filtered out. We are once again starting to capture some helium because it is now just priced above the level of break-even and there is a small profit to be made in capturing it. But yeah, there is no shortage of helium on Earth, nor will there be for thousands of years at current consumption rates (most of the natural gas reservoirs in the USA and Canada contain 1%-1.5% helium). It is a 'panic' story created entirely by media reporters who had no idea wtf they were talking about and it got latched onto by environmentalists looking for yet another bad story about human activity on the planet so it keeps being spread as misinformation.

It transpired that, under true nuclear transmutation, it is far easier to turn gold into lead than the reverse reaction, which was the one the alchemists had ardently pursued. Nuclear experiments have successfully transmuted lead into gold, but the expense far exceeds any gain.[10] It would be easier to convert lead into gold via neutron capture and beta decay by leaving lead in a nuclear reactor for a long period of time.

10:46 er, i don't think helium whizzes off into space, i think that notrogen and oxygen are different densities but they mix because of turbulence, and likewise gasses like hydrogen, helium etc don't just fly off into space, but mix until they are entirely dissipated. if you keep helium in a balloon, yeah, sure, off to space it will head, but release it as a gas and it dissipates out all over the planet. so yes, it's gone. but not to space.

[@sereneavatar]

If helium wasn't affected by other factors, then yes, it would simply float up and accumulate at high altitude. However, Earth experiences e.g solar and polar winds, which continuously remove lighter molecules from the atmosphere. There's an article on Wikipedia titled "Atmospheric escape" that describe additional processes through which this could happen. So, unfortunately no, helium does escape into space and is currently non-renewable.

We have Who Do You Think You are In America, and it does seem like our celebrities have more interesting family histories. But that’s because our ancestors left their countries behind, a process which shakes up lives in substantial ways, and, since there was a smaller pool of people initially and it later covered the continent, it was easier to become successful in the more egalitarian and less aristocratic society during and after the colonial period, and our ancestors could more easily move around, find job opportunities, and marry people from different parts of the country. So there’s a substantial difference if you’re Ashley Judd, and your ancestors were on the Mayflower and your relatives are country stars, than if your Dara O’Briain, and your ancestor probably did nothing but farm in the same county from the time of the Normans to the 1920’s.

The helium used in balloons is low grade, mixed with lots of nitrogen and not suitable for use in MRI scans and the like. Balloon use also represents a tiny percentage, less than 0.5% of world yearly use. #factcheckyourjokes

Why does dara do this boisterous to literally whispering so quietly i cant make it out at max volume and then suddenly shouting the punchline. I get that is a crowd work thing but crowd work is for people who are incompetent and have to get the crowd to pull this panto bs and fill up the time. Dara is way too funny to be this hard to watch. I am not expecting completely not addressing people but stop asking direct questions. They are stupid and not entertaining, im amazed that they don't ever say "i didn't buy a ticket to listen to barry the illiterate plumber and he didn't go here to chitchat". The good jokes are made bad because the setup is inaudible when you are talking like 2 girls talking trash about their friends at the party, then you shout what clearly would have been funny had i heard the setup which is too long because the audience member is stupid and not been defened by the punchline. Every single joke you have where you are not trying to use the awful delivery its way better, people are social creatures and they laugh at a punchline harder if they dont understand but can tell by context that they should laugh, just add a pause like an irish obama because the good jokes run together and people are not sure they should laugh

This is the concert in which Dara is turned by the feminist cabal. When did men decide that women needed help in their feminist efforts?

That's funny, because I've watched a short maybe 30 minutes ago where a comedian was talking about the time an audience member had a seizure and due to crowd work, knew there were three nurses in the front row.
