Heads up big comment Both have changed significantly but to say American English sounds more like how old English would have sounded isn't accurate at all. American English is rhotic whereas British English is non rhotic for the most part depending on region. Whilst yes old English was rhotic a more accurate representation of old English is what is spoken in the black country (look it up). The primary influence of American English would be Irish, Dutch & French not to mention the countless other nations and languages who would have had a hand in developing the accent. Irish gaelic is a phonetical/rhotic language much like Welsh, Alba gaelic (Scotland) and French a rhotic pronunciation would have been used as it would have been the natural progression in to English from their native tongue. So no old English sounded nothing like American English nor British English if not for the influence of other languages keeping rhotic pronunciation the progression would have been more similar just like the differing in accents between the North of England and the South.

YES! This channel definately deserves that comment. I've seen that comment on a bunch of other channels that are dumb and not educational, but this channel is actually so educational and teaches things that I didnt even do in a university level physics class! Such an amazing channel. I'm suprised hes self funded and employed, and not part of that PBS educational team. Still it's good to practice the calculations in homework, but this channel is great since many times he shows the equations for people who are interested, but he doesnt force everyone to go in depth to the calculations to understand the content.

0:25 Technically, the Earth only holds up as a sphere because of its gravity. As soon as you put another one next to it, it'll just merge into one bigger planet (in a few hundred million years). Do that 1.3 million times and the equation is accurate 🤷♂️. Here's another, more accurate experiment to do. It'd be like adding 1.3 million water droplets into a spherical container. The droplets hold themselves together in spheres because of their surface tension though, not gravity 🤷♂️.

You could also have filled the sphere with water to measure the volume of the free space.

I appreciate your effort in unraveling this perplexing puzzle. Initially, I found it difficult to comprehend the magnitude of 1.3 million Earths, in relation to the number of scale images illustrating the comparative sizes of the sun and the earth. These images seemed off. Nonetheless, I must commend you on the exceptional quality of the video you provided. It skillfully presented a genuine visual comparison, enabling me to grasp the enormity of the situation more effectively. The revised estimation is still an astonishing figure.
