About the exposures and reflectiveness of the moon, conner wasn't wrong. Yeah the moon is not like the most reflective stuff (in fact it is least just like Earth) but it is reflective as much as earth is. That much reflection is enough for exposures. It is like they are standing day time portions of the moon. The sky is black because the moon doesn't have any atmosphere.

[@nadkudo1798]

I'm the first one to clown Connor and his dumb takes, but he wasn't wrong there lol to begin with, the only reason we can clearly see the moon in the sky and also have something called "moonlight" is because the moon is reflecting sunlight lol that card felt more like a meme than an actual correction tbh

[@siliconhawk]

​​@@nadkudo1798yeah like the moon is not exactly reflective in the same vein as like idk snow or water or glass. But everything, every real object is reflective in some sense coz if they were not reflective then you won't be able to see it (like black holes). And courtesy of the moon being as massive as it is yes it's a very bright object he is correct. Idk if he explained it the best but he is correct

[@Martin-yh7vi]

​@@siliconhawk Yeah, like light bounces off of everything. Some more than others and that's why we can even see anything at all.

[@kuroodo_]

Shadows for Grant: When you stand in front of a light-bulb, you block the light thus casting a shadow behind you. But there's still light hitting that shaded spot be it light from the bulb bouncing off of the walls or from another light source. Now if something is in front of the light (that has bounced or from another light source), then now that light is blocked. Therefore now there is another shadow for the same reason as the first shadow. In other words less light bouncing off of the surface and into your eyes.

I was shocked when Garnt said he doesn't understand light, while having a masters in electrical engineering... also Joey's "explanation" of lights particle/wave duality.. it does fit the theme of trash taste though haha

[@ssengageisop3952]

Can you explain ?

[@AitoNitram]

@@ssengageisop3952 Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. All of light shares the same velocity, light speed or c, but they have differing wavelenghts. The wavelength determines what "type" of light it is, microwaves, wifi, radiowaves, x-rays, gammarays or plane old visible light are a few types we are familiar with. In other words, there is no difference between the wifi in your house or the light that comes out of a lamp other than their wavelenghts. Light is both a wave and a particle, this is as far as we understand it. We know this because there are contradicting results from experiments. Some experiments show phenomena which could only occur if light was a wave, but we also see it do things that can only be described if light was a particle. Light isn't the only thing with wave-particle duality though. As an example electrons can behave like waves as well. Look up the "double slit experiment", this shows how both electrons and photons have wave like properties. But even you have a wavelength, but you're to big for it to matter. What Joey said about light having kinetic energy is true, but it's not due to it's mass, since it has no mass, it has to do with it's momentum. I don't know what he meant about waves not being affected by gravity, gravity is essentially curved space, so anything traveling through this curve would, you know, curve. The earth "thinks" it's moving in a straight line but it is trapped in our suns gravity well. Massive objects cause space to curve, if light travels past this object it has to follow that curved space around the object, if the object is too massive the light will circle around and finally it won't be able to escape, we call this a black hole. This was long and not very clear so just ask again if you would like to know something specific about this.

The wavelengths of macroscopic objects is *large* not small when travelling with low velocities as compared to the speed of light. [λ=h/(mv)]

[@jesther2575]

@@aryanpandey5017 no, because as demonstrated by the equation you sent, h/mv (de Broglie wavelength), the mass of an object is indirectly proportional to the wavelength. Also, we can think of some mass "m" of a macroscopic object and divide it to the value of h (Planck's constant) 6.636 x 10^-34 J s and you'll see that the value of the wavelength will still be an extremely small value.

As someone in physics, Joeys explanation of a photon absolutely killed me. 1) A photon is a particle, but the issue is that particles are not points, but rather energetic parts of a field, like how a wave is an energetic part of the sea. 2) This isn't unique to photons. All matter in the universe is a "particle and a wave" in the same sense as a photon. 3) Scientists definitely understand how it works. It's a very well defined concept. The explanations are just bad because you're trying to explain it by analogy. 4) Gravity effects light because it is the bending of space. Gravity doesnt only act on mass, but is the effect of other mass on the curvature of space, which light and matter move through.

There are a lot of interesting Pokemon Theories. That lore goes insanely deep. Pokemon have Infinity Energy and their HP and Attacks are just part of the Infinity Energy magic system. That's why they don't actually hurt each other in battles. Also, I believe the Ho-Oh wish theory with Ash: That when he saw Ho-Oh in episode 1, his wish was granted (since the Pokedex says that's what Ho-Oh does), allowing Ash to adventure forever and ever. That's why time passes in some ways, like the one-year anniversary of the journey and Kukui's child, but their ages don't change. And also also, people do canonically eat Pokemon 100%. Slowpoke tails are often described as a delicacy, and of course all the food Pokemon like Appletun are also referenced as being eaten by people. And also also also, I think Joey switched the Pokemon = Humans theory accidentally. The theory says that people used to be the same as Pokemon, as a book in B/W states. However, they evolved to be different from Pokemon and can't use (except psychics and the like) Infinity Energy anymore, so they can't go into pokeballs either. Btw, Pokemon apparently have the innate ability to shrink to fit inside pokeballs, as is states in Legends Arceus. I guess that's another part of the whole Infinity Energy thing. So yeah, Pokemon theories and lore are crazy when you get into it.

Frustrating if you take everything seriously. With the amount of preface they do everytime, i don't really know why people still try and find holes in their arguments (especially academic related ones)

[@HerMi.T]

​@@hololovesapples8979yup but it is difficult for people to not take them seriously. It is human nature to be like it

[@donnie1725]

​@hololovesapples8979 while I do agree they shouldn't be damned for saying stuff that's flat out wrong most of the time. I do think it's fun as well as often informative for people in the comments to explain, 'Hey, you guys talked about this. This is how it actually works or how we understand it!' I love that!

[@magicateyes113]

this is literally one of the best episodes of trash taste ever

[@iampetah5409]

Garnt talking about how we dont understand light meanwhile that is caused by him not undertanding light while physicists understand it pretty well gave me an aneurism LMAO Such an interesting episode

[@thefray123]

11:51- love Joey but something is so satisfying about him being called out on his bs when he says it with such conviction. 😂

[@SavantGardeEX]

I mean he's right about it having kinetic energy, the reason he probably thought it had mass bc usually having kinetic energy means you should have mass, but light is the only one that uses energy and momentum instead, simple mistake yall joey haters need to RELAX lmao.

[@nanashi7779]

​@@SavantGardeEXfr I don't understand why us fans are acting so salty recently, it's just not that deep

[@ausreir]

The alien conspiracy section convinced me that the boys would absolutely love the Three Body Problem.

[@eligoldman9200]

My favorite conspiracy is that Stevie wonder isn’t blind.

catching people with poke ball? palworld: write that down

[@ITSANANAGRAM]

Sick episode guys i just had a few comments on the light part. 1: It is not only light that has wave-particle duality, anything that has a momentum behaves as a wave, electrons, protons, and even humans if you want. This is the basic of QM, which is that particle behave as probabilistic waves, and they have a wavelength called the De Broglie wavelength. The Thomas Young double-slit experiment first showed wave-particle duality for light, but also for electrons. 2. Light both has mass and is affected by gravity. Mass is only an equivalent of momentum, you can take the simple equation for momentum being velocity times mass. Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2 tells us the energy-mass equivalence, and because light has energy, it also has mass. This makes light both bend spacetime and both cause gravity and be affectes by it. Light being affected by gravity is called gravitational lensing, and was one of the first concrete pieces of evidence for General Relativity. 3. I just think you mixed them up, but the debate for waves and particle did not come from gravity and propagation in vacuum but rather from Electricity and Magnetism and newtonian physics. Maxwell's equation for E&M shows perfect behavior for light as a wave, and also gives an accurate representation of the constancy of the speed of light, which is one of the postulates of relativity. Light behaves as a wave propagating with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation of the wave. Also, particles do travel in vacuum, we see it all the time with cosmic radiation, we thought waves needed a medium to propagate in. For example, sound waves need air to propagate. In space, there is no air, so there is no sound. The best piece of evidence for light being a particle is Einstein's photoelectric effect, which showed that the effect of light on a surface is proportional to the amount of photons( which is computes from the energy per photon, which we know). If light was a wave, the intensity(amplitude) of the wave would dictate the effect, but it didn't it was the "quantity of light". The real answer is that all particles in the universe are both a wave and a particle, it is the uniform field theory. Hope this was clear, if anyone has any questions i'll be glad to answer them, currently studying physics in uni and i'm very deep in quantum physics

[@kuroexmachina]

garnt: masters in eng also garnt: i don't understand how light works

[@kuroexmachina]

he was clearly born in the shadows while we merely adopted it

[@sugibell4681]

that pikachu tail is crazy because when I was a kid I always drew pikachu and I vividly remember his tail having a black tip. One of the main reasons I learn how to draw is by tracing pokemon artbooks since 6 years old.

[@carbjr.8071]

This is perhaps the best episode yet to make cancelable out of context clips 😂

[@RAGINGwithALEX]

Every time the purple box pops up and just destroys the point one of the boys makes is so funny to me 😂😂

[@animusswtor4822]

I love Garnt's "I wonder how it would be if the theory started in the time of the internet", just gotta look at that one weird "Avril Lavigne" theory saying she has been replaced by some girl called Melissa or whatever it was ^^

[@viktorthebird6115]

Congrats to the Trash Taste crew for their first government sponsored episode.

[@charlieueueueueue6578]

this episode is sponsored by the Central Intelligence Agency! Connor, have you ever wanted to stage a coup in an African country with a peaceful, socialist leader and install a corrupt president in their place? Well, we have the solution for you!

[@barsx7634]

The irony of the After Dark merch being released after they've pretty much announced that the After Dark is not going to be a priority in the future. The timing is impressive.

[@SavantGardeEX]

Gosh the trash taste community is so negative and insufferable lmao.

[@ramirez6127]

Lmao

[@ZIDA165]

When did they say that? I think I’ve missed it😅

[@MidnightCrescent]

​@@ZIDA165 In a Garnt stream I saw a clip. TLDR they're gonna focus on TT specials more and incorporate some AD ideas into the main show (like the red flags episode)

[@Marbeary]

I was also laughing but I think they will be doing less After Dark and just putting the after dark style to regular podcast After dark will just be a event thing.

[@jennywinkwonk]

I hope Mudan gets a bonus from this episode 😂

[@dumat100]

Man, I was hoping Joey would go for the Kurt Cobain theory. That one's way more of a conversation starter.

[@pit19931]

Cobains death Its not so much a conspiracy theory because there is a huge amount of evidence that he was murdered. Many people including myself believe he was murdered by Love for his fortune and there is a huge number of facts to back it up.

[@silverwolfe3636]

I remember doing a report on that in High School and it does hold some water no doubt, but I think I would avoid exploring that one on a public show like this out of respect for his surviving daughter tbh.

[@Dontfeedchad117]

Also, the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo all had led lined, and painted on the craft pod where the astronauts were housed so they were protected from solar radiation.

[@sayantanmazumdar3]

The MVP of this episode was Mudan, the fact-checker.

[@justarandombluebird8222]

0:09 I can't say it's a good announcement since they said that they will stop doing after dark

[@sisyphus4889]

exactly... how does that make sense?

[@cyrer6756]

They said they would stop doing CONSISTENT after dark streams. Not after dark streams in general. Basically, they'll just stream whenever they want or when they have time.

[@Silhoux]

​@@cyrer6756im pretty sure garnt said that they need like their entire staffing team present for after dark, so i still wouldn't expect a whole lot, but hey, fingers crossed, i love watching them interact with live chat too

[@controlcon]

Garnt never stated that after dark would never be done again. It's just not going to be consistent anymore. I'm sure there'll be after dark streams every once in awhile like back in the day.

[@pancakes465]

omg, their physics discussion was so wrong! "particles can't pass through space"?!?! wtf?? also "light has mass"?!?! it does not have any rest mass, but it does have momentum

[@BR3D2K1LL]

So Connor's idea of a more scientific approach to Joey's two guys looking at each other over a field idea is to add a laser? 🤣

[@turnerIott]

The Beatles theory was hilarious to me because Joey got so much stuff wrong that wasn’t even conspiracy related.

[@XtiyoonKHX]

I feel this ep has potential for some best out of context clip nominees

[@yarobibraheem4128]

This should have definitely been an after dark episode where they drink and debate stuff 😂 And can google anything immediately

[@nonionbeezness]

Ah yeah listening to Garnt and Joey talk about light @8:10 clarifies why the engineer and physics majors went into the entertainment field.

[@Aman_Mondal]

Mfs really aren't meant for those works

[@tofu7-7]

this episode was pretty intriguing so def a part two!!

[@iskdea8461]

Honestly this was one of the best non guest episodes in a while

[@Howema]

i always just assumed Area 51 was where stealth plane technology was developed which would explain the weirdly secretive nature of the base, especially considering early stealth technology made airplanes aerodynamically unstable which could result in a crash like what happened in 1947 at Rosewell. The theory on how to avoid radar detection was mentioned as early as 1936.

[@kobil316SH]

9 minutes in and I'm about to have an aneurysm

Man as a chemical engineering student who’s taken 3 years of thermo hearing entropy is chaos hurts my soul a bit

For the first time my physics lessons are coming in use for an actual real life thing. aka understaning everything physics in trash taste
