The surprising way a Snowflake has more energy than a black hole

What words would you use to describe the Universe? I would guess they have nothing to do with a snowflake, but for radio astronomy snowflakes dwarf the amount of energy they have seen!

You might notice that this is a re-upload. My good friend and radio astronomer Alec, picked up an error in the previous upload where I said a cellphone on the Moon would be brighter than the Sun in radio light. That incorrect statement has been cut out in this version. Sorry about the error, sometimes these things slip by me!

This is the key to science is admitting when your incorrect or your hypothesis fails to produce your predicted results.

I can feel your enthusiasm through the screen. Loved the video, loved the scarf ;)

[@alans3023]

I cant tell you how much I enjoyed this brief presentation. A simple bit of new information but explained well. Thank you.

[@guiart1553]

Beautiful!

[@RyanRidden]

It's a really lovely comparison, that I've been wanting snow to record in!

[@SuperAngela40]

Ooh snap ! Nice ending ! If there is ever a real life Contact situation I nominate you for the Jodie Foster role !

[@RyanRidden]

I would gladly accept that role, though there are probably others that are far more qualified!

[@SuperAngela40]

@@RyanRidden curious if you’ve read the Hail Mary Project yet and what you think of it . I would recommend audiobook actually bc there is an auditory part of the book that is better to hear than I imagine to read.

[@MrMonkeybat]

That is why you should put radio telescopes in space. Get away from radio communications and create a synthetic aperture the size of the solar system at the same time.

[@KOjukhov]

thank you

[@tyshingleton7005]

That's awesome, imagine how much more data could be collected if we could study more energy!

[@RyanRidden]

For astronomers more energy means bigger telescopes, and radio astronomy has some pretty impressive facilities under construction. The biggest project at the moment is the Square Kilometer Array, which I plan to do a video on in the future!

[@leif1075]

@@RyanRidden what about the energy at higher frequencies lower wavelength than radio..surely that has more energy than a snowflake..why do you discount that?

[@barefootalien]

Clever!

[@Kristjan_N]

I really like how you communicate science! However, I do find the background "hum" or whatever it is to be unnecessary, annoying etc.

[@brownro214]

The universe is "dying."

[@skun406]

I love useless facts which are so intriguing :)

[@williamgorham7339]

Re-upload? Either way I’m commenting to help promote your channel and please the Algorithm.

[@RyanRidden]

You're exactly right! I said something wrong in the last upload, which I've now removed. That's the trouble with not scripting videos, sometimes the brain says strange things!

Dr., what is your opinion of Musk and Star Link? I really don't like the idea of 12,000 low orbit radiation admitting satellites flying over constantly. Is is unhealthy? You use to be able to go way out into the mountains deep in some canyon with absolutely zero cell signal or radio stations.. I love that. I don't claim to be allergic to radiation or electronic sensitive. but I just felt at peace in those places. And without a chance to vote about it, Musk steals that from everyone on the entire planet. Lame. Going camping used to mean no phones or computers, and now you will see people TicToking in the middle of nowhere. Sad.
