[@Aoi84]

I love that the process of star formation was quickly jumped over as some crazy mysterious process, yet is LITERALLY the process he just told us was impossible... gas coalescing together, under gravity, developing intense pressure and heat. The only difference is the abundance of mass and heat enabling fusion.

[@celiand2618]

It's horrible, I saw a man that has been exposed to advanced concepts without enough basis to properly understand them.

[@nickryan3417]

It's not even advanced concepts. Children under 10 can easily grasp the principles of planetary formation and as everything is made up of atoms (simpler to stop at this level) which then clump together into molecules (requires the individual atoms to either collide or attract each other - gravity) which in turn clump together into grains of dust (again, collisions or gravity as they attract each other in an otherwise largely gravity free space) which then slowly form rocks which have are larger and have more gravity which attracts more atoms/molecules/dust/rocks and so on until we get bigger rocks. Eventually we get a collection of matter big enough that it starts to generate heat through the crushing effect of its own mass on itself... this helps to fuse the matter together but also given enough matter we get a star.

[@celiand2618]

I was actually thinking about fusion in the stars and then the star dying and expelling denser atoms, which he missed the expelling part. He also has not grasped the expected mass of a dead star, so on and so on. That's already 12 years old understanding. Aka "advanced" compared to what he missed. But yeah I was between 8 and 10 when I read about those concepts.

[@Ahrpigi]

Flat earth and conspiracy theorists in a nutshell.

[@ceejay0137]

The collisions of the balls in pool are almost completely elastic, so the momentum of the cue ball is distributed among the other balls in the interaction. When two planetesimals collide it is not an elastic collision, as the crushing of the material leads to dissipation of the energy into heat. They might stick together, or move apart again but at reduced velocities. In the end, many such collisions result in a larger single mass with a higher temperature. Almost like a protoplanet with a molten core . . .

[@framegrace1]

Exactly, On a hit, they either end up orbiting the same center or mass or escaping... Repeat milions of times and things start to coalesce. The colisions can be fully elastic, it doesn't matter mutch. They will just both slower, which helps in getting caught on each other's gravity.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

I wonder why the balls stops quite quickly? It is almost like something external force is affecting them.

[@matgeezer2094]

Don't you mean inelastic? That's how come the energy is transferred from ball to ball

[@mityaboy4639]

And lets not forget the static electricity building up between those small particles rubbing each other - actually helping / kickstarting the 'lets stick together' game. I love that he actually solved the end game (entropy) by turning all planets into flying particles... Based on his accord huge stars should never be created because why would two Hydrogen atom stick together just to form a higher density / pressure thing when they were happy to be a floating atom in the vacuum of space... Forming massive gas balls is okay... forming small rocky things... nah... that would never work... facepalm

[@ceejay0137]

@@matgeezer2094 Nope. There's a Wikipedia article on elastic collisions, from which the following quote is taken: "In the case of macroscopic bodies, perfectly elastic collisions are an ideal never fully realized, but approximated by the interactions of objects such as billiard balls."

[@martinconnelly1473]

So many of these lone theorists just do not understand what gas pressure is. They need to consider the forces acting on a single gas molecule. Pressure is due to collisions with other gas molecules. This is where his conservation of momentum works. In a near vacuum these collisions are rare. Newton's laws come into play here, a gas molecule will continue in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted on by a force. What force will affect this gas molecule in the vacuum of space? Gravity. How many times do they need telling, vacuums do not suck.

The billiard argument's greatest issue is not whether it takes place on earth or not, it's that he ignores there's, iirc, two types of collisions : elastic and inelastic.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

So, when I throw a clod of dried mud at another clod of dried mud, they're NOT supposed to bounce off each other in an elastic collision? I kid. I understand the difference the composition of objects makes in a collision event.

[@framegrace1]

Not really. Elastic collisions also help in gravital coalescence, it doesn't really matter much the kind of collision. On al Elastic colision both particles reduce speed, and that's all needed. Inelastic colisions just dissipate more energy and reduce the speeds more, so they do it faster, that's all.

[@kenbrown2808]

Thank you for the video! Not to mention, the heat can not be easily transmitted into vacuum since, well, it is vacuum - there are very few matter so nothing can transmit heat. It looses some as infrared radiation, but it is not as big direct transmission amount since it is limited by the surface area, and it decreases as the object grows in size and proportion between area and volume fals.

[@nickryan3417]

Yep, it's why heat management is such a problem for long term space craft such as the ISS. Space is only cold because there's nothing to absorb the heat (radiation energy) - stick something in the way of it and the intense radiation given out by a star will warm the object up immensely. With nowhere to go other than re-radiation of this energy things tend to warm up. It's where the sc-fi trope of an astronaut instantly freezing in space when exposed to it is utterly wrong: they'd die of oxygen starvation a long time before getting cold, let alone freezing. The pain inflicted on the body by not having air pressure to push back on internal body pressures wouldn't be nice either but someone in that situation would be at much more immediate risk of the rapid dispersal of gas from their lungs causing them to shrink, likely very painfully and to have no gas available to fill them again. I suspect even regular scuba gear would allow such an individual to survive for a while.

@@freddan6fly Fusion does not work by adding element numbers together. The seven steps of forming nickel-56 from silicon-28 are listed in the Silicon-burning_process Wiki. The first step is fusing Si with He.

[@Mandelbrot_Set]

@@freddan6fly You were probably taught a simplified version of hydrogen fusion to create helium-4 where 4 hydrogen atoms fly together at once. That does not happen. It is a chain of reactions that never involve more than two nuclei.

[@Mandelbrot_Set]

@@freddan6fly I forgot to mention that nickel-56 decays into iron with a half life of 6 days.

[@freddan6fly]

@@Mandelbrot_Set Thanks for clarifying. Never took nuclear physics at university, that's the basis of my misconception I guess. I will have to read up.

Love your work SciManDan!

[@bipolarminddroppings]

Why is it so many of these "geniuses" cant figure out the basics of video production, such that they cant display high resolution graphics but instead must show us printed pages (that look like they were printed by a dot matrix from 80s)... Also, when we say "rocky cores" does he think we mean rocks like we have on Earth today? When we actually just mean blobs of heavy stuff that have accreted?

[@johnmcgeever485]

Dan, did you realise that the Surfshark animation has the earth spinning the wrong way? 😂

[@nickryan3417]

That would mean that time on Earth would go backwards. I know this from a documentary that was released in 1978 therefore it must be true.

[@JMulvy]

When he said the solution was simple, I knew exactly what was coming next. It was like something you would hear in a bad sci-fi film. 🤦‍♂

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

What did his "wassup?" mean after his jibe about NASA and taxes? Is that 'real talk nomsayin'?

How planets form? This should be rich

[@-Thauma-]

I always enjoy hearing you say "Hello and welcome along to another...."

I think Jeffrey should work on trying to figure out screen sharing instead of debunking astronomy.

[@thomasbell7033]

The utter nerve of these people, sitting at home and musing, no deep observation, no testing, no real background in any discipline, then deciding they have overturned 400 years of science. What kind of personality does it take to be this way?

[@robsalvv5853]

He is so simple that he took the diagram literally. Wow.

[@pinky6758]

Physicist here: 1. Matter crystallizes all by itself over time, because that's an energetically and entropically favorable state of matter. You don't need pressure. All you need is just some activation-energy and a few million/billion years and there you have your crystalline planetesimals. 2. You don't have conservation of momentum when compressible objects collide because momentum gets dispersed as heat. 3. Heat is transported either via conduction matter-to-matter, which is very efficient but doesn't work in a vacuum. Or heat is transported via photon-radiation, which happens non-stop but is very, very inefficient.

[@jnewcomb]

Further proof that a university degree means nothing about your qualifications.

[@justinesportsmedicine9379]

The only thing that would make Jeffery's Geological discussion better is background music "Elephant Baby Walking." And Jeffery's mom coming in his room grabbing him by the ear to tell him he forgot to take the garbage out.

[@hartmutholzgraefe]

If he ever really went to university as he claimed, it is at least clear now why he didn't last long there ...

[@MonkeyJedi99]

I went to Harvard University. - I was in Boston for a day and we took a rest on some benches in one of the open spaces on the campus.

[@nickryan3417]

He could have done a PPE course and, like many of those who took such a course did (observation), just paid others to write his waffling papers for him.

[@kenevans233]

Okay, SciManDan. I'm tired of listening to this guy. Uh, Jeff. Can we talk? I LOVE your enthusiasm. I can tell you're excited and invested in all this. The problem is, you aren't taking into account physics - the physics of our known universe that we already understand. Case in point: have you ever heard of elastic versus inelastic collisions? You might want to study up on all that, because collisions don't always act like billiard balls. This is the principle behind two (or more) rocks colliding and becoming one. And when you add gravity into the mix, the larger the combined balls become, the more they will attract other objects due to gravity. You might want to check on that.

[@jonboy2950]

This dude went to university?

[@zed1stwizard]

If only he had attended and taken part in classes.

[@gerrybaggins]

He went to university like I went to that bar yesterday, just for a quick coffee.

[@robadams1645]

Drove by, went to, what's the difference really?

[@JohnVJay]

He seems to have a BA in "Human Communication".

[@arctic_haze]

One of my favourite metal bands, the all-girl group The Warning has a great song about such cults. It's called Disciple (google it up). The lyrics start with "The sun is your enemy today / Have you heard the news that the world isn't ending?" and they end with "You shall remain / Inside your space of ignorance". How true

[@MarceldeJong]

7:57 Also important for this man to remember is that the vacuum of space doesn’t suck.

[@keith726able]

He said your vacuum cleaner won't work. That should tell you all you need to know about his understanding of vacuum.

[@neomateo944]

That hurt my brain... An old employer used to describe folk like him as "knowing too much for one but not enough for two" ...

[@Sheesha87]

He sounds like hes struggling to read, and he wants us to velieve hes the educated one....

[@RealityCheckThat]

It astounds me how individuals with little to no education or experience can think that they know more than professors and scientists - and not just some professors & scientists, but ALL of them!

[@francisboyle1739]

When I was a physics student back in the 80s I was lucky to attend a lecture by the man who was largely responsible for the modern theory of planetary formation (still a matter of debate in those days). Let's just say he was a bit more convincing than this clown.

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

Gases aren't collected by planets because of pressure differentials. Gravity attracts the gas to the planet, then that same gravity attracts more gas, and guess what happens when the new gas gets piled on top of the old gas; Pressure.

[@drakeshadowraven2162]

"The cue balls dissipate?" Think he meant "disperse". Ive never seen balls on a pool table "dissipate".

[@Markhypnosis1]

You should post the links to these video's like you used to, so we can all go over there and give them stick.

[@thesuperjacobshow8151]

A man circumnavigated the globe from Sydney over the south pole and north over the Americas and over the north pole and then south to Australia. The journey was documented in a giant book with hundreds of high quality photos.

[@hartmutholzgraefe]

That guy never smashed two lumps of Play-Doh together to see how conservation of momentum works out in a totally plastic condition instead of the almost totally elastic one when colliding to billiard balls?

[@jeffkadlec8264]

I paused the video after the intro. Hearing that a person on Tinfoil Tuesday is explaining how planets form is going to be INCREDIBLE!!!

[@fernandlust532]

When he started comparing it to playing pool, I realized that his brain must have been drowned in a big pool.

[@willowtdog6449]

When I was in college, at a different MD school, we referred to Geology as "Rocks for Jocks" because it was one of the easiest science credits. That's all I can think about for some reason while watching this. Lol.

[@tysondog843]

Great video, as usual... Have you seen Taboo Conspiracy has put a new video out? They claim it's filming land 614 miles away... Now that's funny, but Not the Most funny part. The Video is a Perfect example of the Sun setting. The Sun disappearing bottom up, going behind/below the horizon, all while Not changing in angular size. Flerfs debunking FE is the best...

[@ozric4122]

"It's really that simple.", I almost spat my coffee out 🤣

[@tristanpau1p]

You forgot to say that gas are "added" to the rocky surface of a young planet because of the gravity of said planet. This is why rocky planets are typically formed closer than the gas giants. And heat that have been "added" is because of the gas pressure & composition, radioactive decay, the pressure from underground, bombardments from asteroids in a proto-solar system and the heat coming from the sun itself. And oh, the conservation of momentum is observed when planets form because the energy became heat and melts the inside. Hence why the Earth is still liquid inside. Edit:added bombardment

[@SylouCool]

As well as angular momentum became planet rotation

[@tristanpau1p]

@@SylouCool yeah. I forgot about that. The conspiratard forgot to remember that energy comes in many forms.

[@SylouCool]

@@tristanpau1p They can't forgot about it as they would need to know about it in the first place 😅

Damn it, Dan, you should have put an extreme facepalm warning on this one! Now I have to contact HR at NASA to get compensation for my injuries! 🤣 ❤❤

[@ianfisk01]

At 6:01 Jeffery has a crazy analogy with pool balls. Dust grains are not balls on a pool table! Gravity makes colliding grains stick together. Chemical bonds make the grains stick together.

I wonder if you can just show the ingredients to make a cake to him, and he'll just know how to make a cake 😆 🤣 😂

[@ianfisk01]

At 7:21 Jeffery says nonsense about tires, basketballs and vacuum cleaners which do not have gases held to a massive body by gravity!

[@cptblood1981]

I want to mention a few things HERE ON EARTH that refute every one of his points. 1. I can hit a billiard ball slowly enough that it gently comes to a stop woth a soft tap without dispersing the other billiard balls. 2. If there is a geeater force on the gas it will flow into a pressurized system thats how compressors WORK here its just gravity doing that work 3. Friction and compression both generate heat try it some time

[@paulwalsh9680]

Not finished watching but playing "tin foil bingo" (a variant of "flerf bingo" ;) ) So far we've had "conservation of momentum" and "2nd law of thermodynamics" I wonder what else?
