[@metametodo]

These days came out news (even on scishow space if I recall correctly) noting that the Sun is a lot less active than the average Sun-like stars observed, with less flares and sunspots. Could it be because of this? Our star has the necessary combination and distribution of planets needed to make this 11-year solar activity "reset"? Thus preventing the star reaching the solar activity common on other similar stars?

[@miracufelix]

That actually sounds like a valid theory to me. But who knows.

[@Dragrath1]

@@miracufelix It definitely is a valid hypothesis but without the ability to accurately identify planetary systems around a significant sample of sun like stars it will be hard to tell. It would also matter since the previous suggestion for why the sun had low activity relied on the Sun having less angular momentum than other sun-like stars which the Parker Solar probe's observations have flat out rejected due to the far more extreme co-rotation of the solar wind which might actually indicate the Sun has been prevented from losing the amount of angular momentum it should have according to solar models. So in a way this looks to be a promising candidate for possibly explaining both problems simultaneously but unfortunately we can't test it as we can only see planets around other stars if we get lucky.

Thanks for the free Skillshare! Love your guys' content since day one. Hank, you're the best!

[@davetoms1]

Wait, so the Earth, Venus, and Jupiter line up once every 405,000 years which causes a noticeable change in climate? Okay, got it. But... the Earth and Jupiter line up without Venus every 1.08 years (right?) since Juptier's year is 12 Earth years. So two questions: 1) Is the pull of Venus so strong that the measured effect isn't seen every 1.08 years because tiny Venus isn't aligned with Earth and the massive Jupiter? 2) The orbit of Venus is 225 days or 0.616 years. You're telling me the lowest common multiple of 0.616, 1, and 1.08 is 405,000 ? I must be missing something. Anyone?

[@pomtubes1205]

Im just here waiting for the answer, dude

[@skeksis1085]

You're not accounting for the fact that the planets don't sit in one spot one day, and then jolt to the next spot the next. Direct alignment is not a day-long event, and realistically lasts a matter of seconds.

[@herranton]

He said they line up every 11 years, not every 405,000. 1:31

[@andymanaus1077]

I can offer a part of the answer, although not all of it. We are used to models depicting the solar system without proper distances being observed, that we forget how much variation there is in planetary distancing. (Looking at you, SciShow! 2:51 ) Venus is SO much closer to Earth than Jupiter that despite its small size, it has similarly significant gravitational effects on Earth. Venus is 108,000,000 kms (0.72 Astronomical Units) from the Sun. Earth is 150,000,000 kms (1 AU) from the Sun. Jupiter is a whopping 779,000,000 kms (5.19 AUs) from the Sun. (Averages used for simplicity.)So assuming a two dimensional system, Venus is about 0.28 AUs at closest approach to Earth, while Jupiter never gets closer than about 4.19 AUs. A difference of 1496%! The inverse square law of gravity means that Venus' influence on Earth is very significant despite its small size and plays a significant part in conjunctions with Earth. In regards the second part of the question, the 405,000 years *might* take into account planetary "wobble" from the plane of the solar system where the planets are only truly in conjunction at these intervals and at other times are slightly out alignment above or below the plane.

[@miracufelix]

First he said when the 3 line up every 11 years, they cause the magnetic field of the sun to swap and reset the activity. The second one where it seems like the same event pulls earth 5% out of orbit every 405k years confuses me aswell. My guess is, there is missing some crucial information, like for ex. if another massive planet like saturn lines up, too. I don't know. I think we are missing the same thing here. EDIT: Or maybe the point is, that for the 11 year event the three only have to be somewhat in line, because the sun is huge and it's diameter extremely large in comparison, but for the second one, it has to be extremely precise to happen.... I really have no idea.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

This is, I believe, how Astrology works. In fact the ancients never separated Astronomy and Astrology, they were considered as one science. I often wondered if there was any substance to that and came to consider the idea that as we live on earth and are part of the earth's magnetism it makes sense that at the exact time when one was born, the neighboring planets (and even asteroids) in our solar system especially had their specific subtle electromagnetic and gravitational effect on the newborn, depending on the their placement in the heavens relative to that exact time and place. This seems to affect our personality traits and individual natures and characteristics and like it or not, Natal charts are always proven right, at least in a generalized sense. According to this idea though, to be completely accurate in their predications the Astrologer would have to work with all of the planets in the Milky Way galaxy at very least, because everything in the Universe is connected and even every atom affects every other atom, even at a great distance.

I have bad news for people excited by this paper (Stefani et al., 2019). After reading it and some other studies it cites, I learned two things. First, little is new in the paper. The hypothesis was first posted by Wood in 1972 and the actual discovery of the phase-locked correlation of the 1000-year Schove series with the 3 planet conjunctions was done by Okhlopkov (2016). Second it is based on a circular argument. The Schove series is created by fitted sparse data on a phase-locked 11.1 year cycle. So the phase-locking Okhlopkov discovered and Stefani et al. build on was actually a case of circular reasoning.

[@veritasgodess]

i have a question, if you included all these energies vibrations would they have an effect? also can vibrations cause a feeling or a vibe that would make us act out on whatever it is due to the result of all this energy? are there more energies we cant explain or see out there alongside this? i think its funny but sad watching people think astrology cant be backed up by science, you have no idea how the universe really works its more than we will ever know. more than what you can see. they act like they have all the answers which leaves no room for questions, theories or new directions which is what science is all about. its good to ask the question can astrology be backed up by science. we have a strong past with our earliest ancestors showing our solar system on artworks so how did they know about the planets movements? even our science is centred around things that are still theory.

Mars at its closest to us. So Sun, Earth, Mars are in alignment. Syzygy :)

Are there any journals, websites, or other sources that you would recommend subscribing to build my own knowledge base? For instance, personally out of the list of sources for this video, which would you recommend for "pop science enthusiast" looking for both fun facts and a deeper understanding?

Since there is still a debate on why most sun-sized stars are rather active and the sun is one of few which is quite inactive, can it be, that the planets around the stars affect the stars in that way, just as Venus, Earth and Jupiter calm the sun?

Lookin sick man you good?

Could it be that all planets aligning may help to push earth into a magnetic field reversal as well?

[@thekito4623]

No

Imagine if a solar storm hit us now, like during the economic meltdown and the corona virus. Oh boi, we would actually have that apocalypse all teenage boys want

[@trivkypeak-eye3557]

Closed captioning keeps turning on despite ke having it turned off in my general settings. This silliness started a few weeks ago and it is REALLY annoying. How do I keep them from turning on?

[@skipperofschool8325]

your vids are awesome 👌

[@Edoras5916]

now correlate that with the old world knowledge of agriculture that was based on their interpretation of the positions of the stars (near by planets)

[@stvp68]

Now I’m wondering how this phenomenon gets modeled in terms on the curvature of space. How does curved space affect the sun’s plasma?

I've been commenting on sci-show videos for years... this will take some getting used to.

That means you have a brain and can think for yourself. Unlike the Apple zombies that "pay for their own surveillance" according to the NSA.

The 405,000-year climate cycle is the Milankovitch cycle. It's a quite a well-known cycle and it's odd that the video never mentions the name. If we take this cycle seriously, we are in a cooling trend for the next 23,000 years.
