StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries - Science is Cool, with Neil deGrasse Tyson & PocketLab

[@helsiclife]

I absolutely love the combo of Dr Tyson and Chuck Nice, their chemistry is great and the whole show is so entertaining ❤️❤️❤️

[@DM-bf5jq]

Exactly. It’s less appealing to me when chuck is not there, and I’m in for dr. Tyson’s knowledge.

Hey Neil and Chuck! I’d love to see an explainer video on flames! Staring at a flame is so cool but what is a flame actually made of? Why do flames seem so random as they come off of their source? And how much energy is really in a log if it can give off that much heat for so long? Absolutely love your podcasts and everything you guys do! :)

[@jadecoley]

Great question 💪🏻

[@ilarious5729]

Dude I'm staring flames all the time and never thought of this. Finnish mythology says flames are the red hair of godess of fertility called Lempo, I somehow doubt that though.

I'm in the teacher's corner of StarTalk viewers, but my space is in the visual art studio. My love of space started in high school when I took an astronomy class, followed by 2 more advanced classes in college. The body of work I made for my senior art exhibition was based on using the cosmos as a backdrop for creative storytelling through visual art. (Thanks StarTalk for providing a major portion of the scientific research I needed for my thesis). Anyway, I'm teaching my students how to use different watercolor techniques by painting galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Thanks for inspiring this teaching artist to keep looking up!

[@ryanambsdorf2859]

As a kid/teenager I was lucky enough to have several teachers who stressed the importance of critical thinking.

My parents sent me to catholic schools when I was a child. This was in the 90’s before the internet. My education of science was hindered severely as a result. I have spent most of the last 10 years trying to catch up. Thank you for making this information available Neil to all of the children out there.

[@Saeryfim]

Yeah, those super teachers are the best. I had a Science teacher in middle school that let me close my eyes and kinda nap in her class. I was right in the front of the class. She'd call on me every so often to answer a problem on the board and I'd open my eyes, give her the right answer, and then close my eyes again. She knew that as long as I was absorbing the information (like a sponge, as she said during parent/teacher conferences) that it didn't much matter how I was going about it. Ms. Mclain was awesome.

[@donnahaynes8766]

43:44 not entirely correct, imho. Maybe, time and place have been separated but we have perforce either changed "place" into "App" or added a new "dimension" (which app shall we use for this meeting)?

I know this was posted a while ago, but I wanted to comment on the issue of false information in books. I agree that this issue is SO important. We do need a course on the sources of information. I also want to remind you that librarians have to obtain a MA in Library and Information Science. If you have a decent local library then the information there should be somewhat checked. I have the science section at my local library and I LOVE the research that goes into finding material for the kids to use for their research! ❤

Startalk has brought me back to my scientific method roots. Thank you, you and Mr Nice are a great combo. I’m 63 and have one cosmic querie for you. Whenever I get frustrated and struggle watering my lawn because of a kink in my “non kinkable” garden hose I feel like entropy is out to get me again.. 😀 The loss of order and predictability, the gradual decline into disorder in life, seems to cause me heartburn to no end. Can you speak to entropy, wrt human experience and the ultimate outcome of our existence?

The fact that you now refer to them as great teachers belies your struggles ... Realization after the fact tells me that if you had had this epifany during their classes you wouldn't have struggled as much...taught physics for twenty years and watch Neal and Chuck for entertainment as well as his presentation of a subject that can cause dismay due to the level of math involved, but you don't have to understand the proofs to accept the results congratulations on your growth ...

[@pseudoname3159]

I've never seen Dr. Tyson unable to reasonably answer a topic. Chuck's a sharp and goofy comedian. I'm glad the history books will recognize Neil deGrasse Tyson as one of the great science communicators/educators of the turbulent early third millennium/21st century.

Something that definitely gets glossed over in curricula are the fundamental experiments leading to conclusions. I'm taking an organic chem class now, and there's not much reference to the experiments that things are based on. In physics-land, things like Faraday's experiments and the Cavendish torsion balance were things I had to learn about on my own.

You say "kids are naturally curious", I wasn't and I would say it was actively discouraged. I'm an Engineer now and the main reasons for me choosing to study physics in general was my urge to learn.

[@theduder2617]

Watch children at play. Watch as they create an entire world from nothing more than a stick most times. That is the curiosity discussed. Neil has offered many examples of ways parents discourage their children. Some times the parents hadn't a clue what they were doing. Trust me. If you so much as played as a child, you were curious as can be. We're not talking a curiosity in educating necessarily. Curiosity of the world around them is more the idea here.

19:49 to 20:09 I have had my location turned off when I use 'SkyView Lite', and it still works. This might because I have had some shotty... work... done on my cellular device, but also because the earth is no more than a couple degrees of arc length when standing on the moon. This makes the couple of arc degrees maximum difference in viewing the moon's position in the sky from different points on earth almost negligible. Also most people aren't using the application to determine much about the moon in the first place. I do, however, use it briefly to locate where the moon is below the horizon.

[@Jay_Flippen]

Then the question becomes how much data could the application store ahead of time, in a simplified, rounded way, to determine the position of the planets and sun. This is an interesting geodesy odyssey- that you outta see- of a problem.

Hi Neil.. sorry if this isnt the right medium to query on blackholes.. but i was wondering if blackholes do move or travel across space??.. and if they do.. how does that work considering they are highly dense with insane gravity generated by them which would make it difficult to move across space as it may have warped space significantly around it.. and that it keeps pulling objects and light within itself from all directions with equal gravitation force applied by the singularity..?? My second query was.. if blackholes are made from collapsing supernova.. are they pulling everything into themselves with such huge force only to turn into a star once again??.. Could you please address my curiosity on this??.. am a huge connoisseur of the cosmos and understand how small of a speck we are in this galactic realm.. and want to learn and think more on this.. lots of love and admiration from Mumbai, India and like to follow what u do.. please spread more information and knowledge on it.
