5:46 "You cannot measure a pH lower than zero". Correction: You can, because pH depends on the logarithm of the concentration of acid.

[@vevenaneathna]

5:47 "you cannot measure a pH lower than zero, you cant get more acidic than that" yes you can.... I've personally done it lol. This is a common misconception. Biologists trying to chemistry :( most fuming nitric acid is around -2 pH and ironically these negative pH's are actually less "acidic" because of a process called passivation. Example, a penny will dissolve faster in a solution of 50% nitric acid vs 85%. Its similar to aluminum's lack of reactivity due to it instantly forming a layer of oxide on the surface. a log function does not intersect the origin....

[@anindyasen8075]

Well any strong acid with higher concentration than 1M will have negative pH. It’s not a rocket science and it astonished me how come a scientist could say such thing. This is basic knowledge on chemistry. How come we call someone a scientist who makes such silly mistake?

[@zapfanzapfan]

The Nobel prize in chemistry in 1994 went to results from using super acids with pH down to like -18. Way below even pure sulfuric acid.

[@vevenaneathna]

@@zapfanzapfan ya that was the antimony one i think? It can protonate saturated hydrocarbons lol... like how tf... is it expanding the electron shells or something lol. there was talk back in the day about using it to add scaffolds to carbon nano tubes and it was going to change everything. im sure they found an easier way lol. Super bases are interesting too imo, like NaH. Idk how you would even characterize the pkb of them... Ironically if anyone wanted to make an even stronger acid they could just generate the same compound but use heavier isotopes or find a way to add muons to the mix. thats more physics though lol

[@zohramartini9425]

I have then a question, doesn't that mean that the initial measurement of pH is incorrect? I am a noobie in sciences but the point you made is extremely interesting.

Creature able to endure the intense weather tempature, can render in shielded areas from harsh liquid magma, sulfer, acid etc. The atomosphere wind layers are also extreme in the mid layers, this is due to planets as chem-life, karma retaliating from chem-life forces like the sun. Venus is not a place to colonize, but with humanity's ability now, feasable to camp. Between deep gaps of lava, sky weather & solar waves.

[@yggdrasil9039]

Venus is a prime candidate for terraforming, given it is substantially the same as Earth. After removing and precipitating the sulphuric acid atmosphere, creating an O2 rich environment but with less CO2, would make the planet the same temperature as Earth.

[@stephenbrand5661]

5:45 "You cannot measure a pH lower than zero." I'm no scientist but I've watched videos on KZbin about really strong acids and plenty of those have a pH below zero.

[@snailboy8532]

Yeah, −15 ± 2 according to Wikipedia.

[@TheLinguistable]

Not sure if they say this in the video or not cause I'm not done watching it yet, but I think Mercury and Venus used to have life. Mercury is dead and dried out, Venus is an extreme version of global warming, then there's Earth with life on it, then Mars that's the closest to being inhabitable. Then Jupiter and Saturn's atmospheric conditions are close to the same as early earth. Then there's Uranus and Neptune, which is just like Jupiter and Saturn, except they're frozen

[@simply9659]

I don’t think mercury had life it’s way too close to the sun I think Venus and mars did tho since they are on the edge of the goldy lock zone

[@dannyarcher6370]

I've wondered for a while why we've spent so much energy on Mars when it's so much less likely to host life than Venus is. Venus has 1. A thick atmosphere of CO₂ (We know there are forms of life which use CO₂ has a metabolic input.) 2. Energy in the form of heat and solar radiation. Tons of it. Way more than Earth. 3. A magnetic field. There's just so much more going on on Venus that from a simple probabilistic standpoint, you'd expect life to be more likely there than on Mars.

[@sourabhkarmakar8040]

[@sourabhkarmakar8040]

@Zooty and also Venus is getting attention. We're in delusion that Mars is getting attention and nothing is. It's totally wrong, maybe because other projects and plans don't receive enough media attention so general public don't have any idea. Every planets moons asteroids and exoplanets and even our own planet are receiving attention always, always has been. People go for the news which excites them and news organization also does the same. People go for them and also love to criticize them without even fully understanding the situation.

[@georgeb.3292]

It's not. Mars is the one with high chances of ancient life since we know it had liquid lakes in the past. And please, I understand you have questions, but don't pretend you know better about the habitability of planets than NASA scientists. They're the best at it!

Those winds on Venus would pack a real punch too as they are hitting with the strength of such a thick atmosphere a reverse of Mars where although fast the atmosphere is so thin so it's not going to blow a spaceship over like in the Martian.We know what damage wind can do on Earth and it's atmosphere is much thinner than Venus.

Venus is one planet you can easily see with the naked eye called the morning and evening star. Third brightest in sky and It is a lot closer to Earth than Mars. I think floating research stations in the clouds would be possible and the gravity is almost the same as Earth's. With current rocket technology distances to the outer planets beyond Mars are almost out of reach for human based exploration. Venus should be considered after the exploration of Mars.
