This got me thinking. If you where standing in an flat open field (salt flats) and you jumped just before the earth stopped you would end up flying relitive to the surface at 800mph but if you did it right the earth would start spinning to match speed again as you landed and you would be unharmed yet having traveled over 1000ft due east.

What if I was on the North or South Pole? :>

[@FATillery]

Earth's rotational axis is about 23.5 degrees which means it is tilted that amount. That is how we get seasons as we travel around the sun. It is not straight up so while the speed of, as he says New York at it's latitude is about 800mph, the speed at your latitude on the poles would be less than that but, not zero so hold on to your snickers...

[@ThatMadCat]

@@FATillery Hmmm... But there would still be 2 spots somewhere on the planet where's the current axis, right? Would you spin around if you stood in that place? ;>

[@FATillery]

@@ThatMadCat No. If you stood on the extreme most northern point of the Earth, you actually would be leaning because of the rotational axis. It is like the spinning top that Mr. deGrass Tyson mentioned. Yes there is a center point on that top but it's rotational axis carries that center point in the same number of degrees as the top is rotating which in the case of Earth is 23.5. This is a difficult concept to see without a physical example but in the end, there is not 'true' top of the Earth where you would not be affected by the rotational axis of 23.5 degrees. Some planets like Mars can have a rotational axis that extends 30 or more degrees. Uranus has an almost 90 degree rotational axis and it looks like it is rotating on it's side. I do not know how to demonstrate it with words but if you study the subject and hopefully some videos, perhaps you would understand.

[@ThatMadCat]

@@FATillery I think I get it, thanks for the lesson, haha.

James And that my friend is a shame and a sin, a crime! In a public school in a less than ideal neighborhood in Chicago in the 60's, I was taught science, economics, literature, logic, and tons of other awesome stuff. We also had a music teacher, an art teacher, and a full time gym coach. The sad truth is that if you base a persons desires on what they spend their money on, which is usually a good indication of their intent imo. you could conclude that the powers that be WANT A DUMB BODY POLITIC! The cure is to stop voting for what is known as the right wing. An old time conservative like Eisenhower would run screaming from the likes of paul, cruz, rubio, bush, cheny gomert etc etc. We need to get them out and get people in who care about education and doing chores (infrastructure repair) and keeping the yard nice (state parks and waterways) and dusting (keeping the air clean) and progress so fund the sciences, but most importantly, we need people people who in their hearts want what is good for everyone of us according to our merit, and are smart enough to figure it out. So, whether you agree or not VOTE don't buy into the FALSE narrative that voting doesn't matter. Greedy uber rich guys who wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire spend billions of dollars a year trying to turn people off from voting. And, stunningly they admit it! It's time for the people to take back our GREAT LAND and the way we do it is VOTE! VOTE VOTE A THOUSAND TIMES VOTE.

[@MilesTraveler]

BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT HIS "NATIONALISM" It matters when one of the richest countries stops participating in said discoveries. The United States has a shit ton of wasted money and jobless people who could be directed towards science. He is from America, and so he of all people would feel the lack of funding and proper equipment. Also it stimulates economy and makes money for said country, giving them wealth and power. Things America is also slipping in. Science doesn't transcend national boundaries yet, and won't for a while. Nobody should know this better than America, with their nukes they dropped on Japan and military science they deploy all over the world. With the iPhone revolution. These things aren't absolutely global as of yet, only selectively. One day, we may all share science, and we do with a lot of projects, but we aren't right now. But that all doesn't matter, it all comes back to my first point. As a scientist born, and working in America, he does not receive the funding or equipment, nor does he see enough students dedicated to science. From the second richest country and one of the most powerful on earth, that is shameful. We can afford to spend 680 billion dollars on military in one year, but could not finish a collider that would have only cost 17 billion dollars, which would have been bigger and more powerful than the one in Europe, and would have discovered Higgs back in the 90s. It matters, because America held back the rest of the world almost 20 years in science. If not more, with that collider many other things might have been resolved or discovered by now. On top of that, Nationalism and competition are still the largest driving forces of advancement(The space race), it's in our genetics to compete. And with one of the biggest players sitting back eating McDonalds and playing Xbox, we are slowing it down. He's upset because one of the biggest and richest countries, also the one he works in, is neglecting that which is the very future of our survival and progression.

[@f.herumusu8341]

MilesTraveler I'm not sure, if we're talking about the same thing if you claim the iPhone to be a sign of scientific superiority of the USA. That's engineering and FYI: They're built in China. Also: If science doesn't transcend national boundaries, how come that Einstein, Fermi, Dirac, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Bohr, Planck, ... weren't american citizens during the development of quantum mechanics? What is so frightening on the fact that the currently largest particle accelerator is located in Europe? You are invited to contribute to this project, as all other members of this collaboration do. And you actually do: international-relations.web.cern.ch/international-relations/obs/usa.html

[@MilesTraveler]

You seem to have totally misread into my comment. Not one bit of it was tooting America's horn. Rather saying it's shameful we didn't finish the larger collider we were building in the 90s. Why does it matter? It held everyone back because America was selfish, I'm angry about that. Plus I cannot fly to Europe and take a tour. American college students cannot go there without crossing the Atlantic. So it is hurtful to us HERE that our government canceled it. Which is Neil's point. He's not being nationalistic but rather upset at his nation.

[@f.herumusu8341]

MilesTraveler I'm not sure if a 40 TeV collider was actaully a good scientific idea or just a "display of power", as I wrote in a comment below. The 13 TeV of the LHC, built in an already existing tunnel are enough to look for physics beyond the standard model and were surely enough to search for the Higgs boson. We now have to see, what kind of new physics we discover and that will define the design of the next accelerator. Some pyhsicist for example now ask for a big linear accelerator to do high accuracy measurements. Other have different experimental needs. We have to see what we find at the LHC and that defines the design of the next level accelerator. CMS collision energy is just one aspect. The 40 TeV of the SSC also seemed back in the ninties braggy, and many physicist wondered at that time if that machine would ever be finished -- justified, as we know by now. To go to another country to do your post doc terms is also something normal and desired in a scientific career. So, OK, American physicists have to come to Europe to do research at the LHC. So what? That may be another discussion, but I think it would be in general a good idea if Americans would learn a bit more about other countries and cultures ... Maybe deGrasse Tyson should travel a bit more to take of his US centric glasses: We are a physics community.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a laudable successor of Carl Sagan in taking up the baton to popularize science in America today. Dr. Tyson has, through his enthusiasm and powerful convictions, inspired me to learn more about our cosmos. Speaking of the cosmos, his reboot of the Cosmos TV show is the best thing on TV right now. The very first episode in 1980 with Carl Sagan opened on a shoreline cliff and Dr. Tyson opened his first episode on the very same cliff which I took to be a fine homage to his predecessor and former mentor.

The problem was in the exact wording of the question, and Tyson's answering what was SAID rather than what was MEANT. The question didn't specify "magnetic poles" only "poles", so he clarified that polar positions don't shift. That said, I'd love to hear his take on magnetic poles...assuming they actually do shift, which would render all compasses "upside down".

ummm....im talking his work and word over yours

[@e1123581321345589144]

Sheldon Joseph yeah, but since it's a pretty well known fact that the geographical poles don't flip, the question does not make sense in that context. So one must logically asume the guy whom asked it must be talking about the magnetic poles.

[@Sheldon.Williams]

e1123581321345589144 Well idk what was going through Neil's head at the moment to misunderstand the question as common sense as it seems BUT if he was answering the question the way it was intended to be answered he would be wrong unfortunately(for him) ..But here's NASA's take on the Reversal of the Magnetic Poles: { www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-poleReversal.html }. Also if you watch it again he was talking about the earths movement and how the geological poles shift a lil from side to side with his very descriptive hand motions ahah and then carries on to say they don't flip, like the Earth doesn't turn upside down. That's what I think and also the question shoulda been more specific I'd say.. (Nice name btw XD)

[@heidifuhr6578]

I know, right? I think he thought she wanted to know when Earth would flip upside down, rather than reverse polarity. There was a question he answered on another video that I think he misunderstood, too. Someone asked what percent of the universe is known, and he said 80%, referring to the parts of the known universe that we've mapped, with the other 20% being blocked by the plane of the Milky Way. I think the person was actually getting at whether or not the universe is infinite, which is something I'd really like to hear his answer to.

[@francois7487]

[@NeonPhyzics]

Francois vn no bro...it has been long established of the magnetic pole flipping - we geologists study it in school with rock dating

[@heidifuhr6578]

I knew I'd heard something about that. Geologists can tell it happens for a fact, right? Doesn't it have something to do with the way iron crystals in the geological layers line up differently before and after a polarity shift? I can't remember where I heard that. It might have been on Nova Science Now, actually. Or Nat'l Geographic or something (I'm not a scientist).

[@heidifuhr6578]

Hey, NeonPhyzics, since you're a geologist, I'd love to ask you more about magnetic polarity. Does a polarity shift on Earth happen instantaneously, or does it take a long time to complete (and if it does take a long time, what does it look like at different stages? Does magnetic north travel toward the equator and then pass over it and make its way gradually to Antarctica)? Also, recently it was reported that the sun switched polarity, as it does every twelve years (I think?). Years ago, I read somewhere that the sun actually has hundreds of magnetic poles--which is why coronal mass ejections seem to follow certain arcs--but recent articles about the polar reversal of the sun implied that it has only two poles like Earth. What's the deal with that? Am I just remembering wrong?
