StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries - Timekeeping

[@kennethebbens6203]

Neil you have stimulated my mind in a totally different way. I am 81 and a retired phD in toxicology and if younger would work on an advanced degree in astrophysics. What a challenge into understanding the universe and working on so much unknown. You have stimulated me and challenged my mind. Thank you

Dear Neil deGrasse Tyson, dear Chuck Nice, dear Anthony Aveni, thank You for the pleasure you deliver 💖

[@neekotheconvict2513]

I'm late to the Neil Degrass Tyson exploration but I am addicted. I work at Frito Lay, headphones of any kind and phones are not allowed on the floor. I'm Bluetoothing taking that risk for this show. This Man is a Gem and we must protect him. He is my Albert Einstein my Steven Hawking. Love you Brother. Keep em coming.

[@glace5717]

Anthony is such a Young spirited and wise guy wish he keeps coming back to startalk

[@billyt8868]

if he gets a new mic that would be GREAT.

[@janmacek5672]

Show is about time and you ignore time. He is not young by any human measurement. That does not deny any of his other qualities, just get real man.

Greetings from Poland❤️ Thank you Dr Neil for sharing with us your knowledge and thank you Chuck for entertaining us😍

[@Nextwavegamez]

I love the guests on star talk, they bring in a new perspective and it’s refreshing ❗️

[@davidmiller1151]

Love you more than I know and value your understanding more than you know. Thanks for everything.best wishes.

[@rayskillz7]

I look forward to this show. Should get some type of an award🥇.

[@rjsmith6698]

Wow…what a great guy Anthony is, and his sense of humour fit in perfectly with Neil and Chuck.

[@karolawatches]

This was perfect in what seemed the original design of STAR TALK combining popular culture (stars) and science discussion. Fantastic and love Brian Greene and his World Science Festival channel too!

[@kielabadeaux3135]

The fact that Chuck immediately knew what OED & PED meant speaks volumes for how far he's come in his near decade learning with/from Neil. I adore that man 🩷💛🩵

[@timcarder2170]

What Chuck was talking about, when he mentioned measuring time by an event, is pretty much the same as the *Star Trek TNG* episode *"Darmok".* Where they encounter a species that linguistics are metaphor based, using references to *past events,* making their universal translators all but useless. *"Shaka. When the walls fell."*

I should say Dr Aveni 🙃

[@ricardojcornejo]

I truly enjoyed the time I spent watching this show

[@MalkiaLydiaChinasa]

So incredibly fascinating. A thought -- just like how "we" decided what organization and disorganization is, our definition of progress as movement towards mechanization might not show up in some cultures' ideology if they conceive of time cyclically, but it doesnt mean they dont have other ideas of "progress" such as new generations coming into existence, the stability of the natural environment, the expansion of personal wisdom and emotional mastery as you revisit life's cyclical occurrences... And there are multiple ancient examples of "geometry" in cultures other than Greece.

[@xanderwidows1]

[@dreamrestore213]

Looking at time as a helix as opposed to a straight line or a circle is actually GENIUS..!! Because we actually conceive of time simultaneously as linear AND by our cyclic calendars.

Hi Neil and Chuck, I love listening and watching StarTalk. I just have one request can you put in the description the link of the website of your guest. Thank you very much.

[@yb.originator7970]

This show made me realize I was a nerd my whole life and ain’t even know it. Thanks StarTalk

[@bit-tuber8126]

Only seeing this in 2014, but I have a some belated comments. [1] The definition of "leap second" allows for negative leap seconds where a day is shortened rather than lengthened. A lot of existing computer software will break if this happens. [2] Once technology advances enough we may be be able to dispose of these pesky leap seconds by tweaking the rotational speed of earth to keep a day 24*60*60 seconds long. Crazy with current technologies, but we already adjust the length of days every time we start up a massive water/energy project, such as making energy from sea waves. The Three Gorges Dam in China changed the spin once as the dam filled up and started making electricity.

[@TheSouthernSiren]

⏳Excuse me Mr. Time Traveler Sir, 😂 You say that you're only seeing this in 2014, however the KZbin time info above your comment shows and states that you posted this and then edit it 7 days ago! 😆 So are you viewing this from our past of 10 years ago, even though StarTalk shows the video was posted 3 years ago, (which is certainly not from the year of 2014) .... And yet...you're correcting it 10 years later in our year of 2024, and not from your original viewing year of 2014? 🤣

[@McClarrenmetals]

Best guest I've seen on this show yet.

[@IslandGirlKelly]

Greetings from London guys. Many thanks for a past podcast as I was able to answer a question on The Chase this evening in the UK. Answer was Simone Biles. I was the only one in my online pub quiz to answer her name correctly. Cheers lads for that one. 🍻🥂

@Emma Olbison It so was Emma. Beyond belief.

[@amaurijones9481]

You guys are amazing! I thank you all for the exchange of such enriching dialogue... surely one of my favorite pastimes! By the way, I believe that the title of the movie referenced is “It Happened Tomorrow”, 1944... I’m curious to see if that was it? Stay well!

[@LETSBESTRONGER]

The universe we inhabit is filled with cycles. Night becomes day, planets rotate around the Sun, seasons change, and so much more. We use these cycles to measure the passage of time, but like the universe's cycles, that was only the beginning."THE TIME NOW'

Hey, hey now.. I’m 31 and I remember that episode of I Love Lucy!

[@peteredwards2318]

Its interesting to consider time as conceived of, or not, by cultures before our own. Although, in the deepest depths of human history, I doubt there has ever been a period where time or at least a passing awareness of its passing, a loose understanding of its sequences, would not have been fundamentally important. The best time to fetch water from the watering hole, is going to be the time where the fewest prey and predators are present. The time to make the journey across the mountains is when the snows do not fully cover the peak. The time to travel on the river in a boat is when there is enough current to carry you one way without tearing your boat apart, but not enough current that it cannot be overcome by the action of your oars. Though no name might be given to these periods, though they may be moveable and unmoored from precision, they are definite. That being said, these are not "times", but situations. The animals at the watering hole do not care what o'clock it is, they do what they will for reasons all their own. The weather cares not what hour, of what day, of what month it is, and does not provide or remove the snow from the mountain according to any schedule aside from its own. The river cannot be relied upon to be a certain depth or have a certain current, perfectly regularly. Rains, winds, drought, a heap of variables effect it. Situations, not time in abstract, would have been more important than dates and measurements, and a more reliable parameter to make decisions on the basis of, than arbitrary or even closely observed systems of measuring time.

[@jamesgreenler8225]

Excellent discussion 👏

[@Mr12Relic]

32:15 "Cultures that mark time just from events" This is how it started in places away from the equator. Seasonal changes such as deadly winters were enough to force cultures to anticipate the next cold time, and "How many winters passed since x". This concern based on lethal conditions expanded into why northern Europe is culturally known for punctuality.

[@chadtarheel]

In fact, our time is cyclical and helical. We move along the universe wholly in unison with the entire galactic plane and our galaxy moves along with all of spacetime. The big question is, how long can the expansion last?
