Good thing you didn't hire spaceX, fanboys would have cheered while your hard work exploded into little bits of space debis.

Well done! I changed the oil on my lawnmower, my wife is kinda proud.

@scottantonille754 Any new discovery JWST brings to the public is similar to a Christmas morning~ Exciting, new surprises, infinite possibilities~ I'm a kid again where learning about our Universe is priceless~ TY.

Obviously I am only one of the hundreds across the globe who dedicated themselves to JWST, but I think we all consider it our baby.

I thank you for you work. Technicians and engineers like you are invaluable as exploratory tech becomes more and more advanced.

I agree. Plus, has something changed in the audio quality in the last few videos? It's like he's slurring the words and speaking very fast. I'm asking because I'm trying out new speakers for the tv and it coinsides with this new weirdness for me.

@@dddaddy he is talking faster. it's almost like he went down into the basement and danny gave him some powder to inhale but i do not hear slurring

And here I thought that I hear the inhales because I'm high as balls. But I compared woth other vids and it wasn't used to be like that before.

I just commented the same thing then looked to see if it was noticed by anyone else and here we are.

He's not talking too fast. Are we special needs?

Cosmology's one of those fields where even figuring out _what_ questions to ask is difficult, but exciting.

And one of those fields where we get almost obnoxiously-excited at the prospect of being proven wrong with new data.

Questions are more important than answers !

And I'm so grateful. I live in London, we love our Mexicans.

Why?

​@@CliffSedge-nu5fvmost species have likeness in multiple branches of evolution. We can, for example, trace dogs back to prehistoric times. Rodents, mammals and reptiles and what became of even the most remote ancestors. But cephalopods, that is crazy obscure. They share so little with others in their environment and resemble even less. They very well could be a foreign body that is "alien" to our evolution pool.

That seems to be the thing with space exploration. Everything we do (Hubble, the Mars landers, Voyager 1and 2, etc) either crash and burn or blow our minds! Massive gambles, but the results are well worth the cost.

It is both an engineering and a scientific advancement when it works out, which I also believe is worth the cost and effort, as is the case with the JWST.

They are building a bigger version as we speak. And a couple of others, of similar size but specialised for specific light frequencies.

In a way human history with exploration is just constant gambles: be it remote areas, underwater or outer space is a bunch of money, planning and some folks crazy enough to try despite the huge probability of going wrong.

Wait--this nonsense cost _10 BILLION DOLLARS???_

Well, we know both very little and also a tremendous amount. Think of it like our understanding of a hurricane. We can know a lot about how and why they form and do what they do but we’ll never know the exact position and velocity of every raindrop.

@@adamredwine774 And we have done wonders in biology, come far with DNA and brains and immune systems and whatnot... yet we have not even _seen_ the _tip_ of the iceberg of _how_ and _why._ Cosmology and Neurology are equally mind boggling to me. As well as some philosophical subjects like phenomenalism How can for instance some "simple" neurons or energy impulses "know" what to do and form any semblance of coherency, let alone conscience or perception. How can microbiological forms on such small scales act almost as if they "knew" what they were doing. How come we are both the greatest caretakers but also greatest destructors of our known universe.

@@SebHaarfagre I never understood why people think conscience is so terribly hard to understand. It seems pretty straightforward to me. And yes, i understand that the nervous system is very complex and that we don’t fully understand every aspect of perception, but the basic concept that simple chemical mechanisms underlay conscience seems perfectly understandable to me.

Perfectly stated

Information doesn't come from mass or energy, it only comes from a mind 👍 The instruction book of life is the most complicated, intricate, intelligent, information packed into EVERY SINGLE LIVING CELL. Even Darwin, from his own statements, would not believe in Darwinian evolution today with the knowledge we have of the complexity of a single cell now- irreducible complexity. The same God that wrote that book inspired a book for you to read, to help you in the life He gave you, intentionally, of His own free will. That's the best selling book of all time- the Bible. Read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John- the eyewitnesses to Jesus' life and sacrifice for YOU.

UNLIKE MAAANY other "EXPENDITURES" 🤔

Not even 1% of what the US spends on their military in just 1 year.

Pennies compared to we spend on other things that arnt necessarily at all

Yep, there is no pricetag on such groundbreaking knowledge.

It was purchased on a deep discount sale for 346 trillion dollars.

Exactly, that's how basic logic works

Some still bring up the bible, don't waste your time trying to fix stupid.

The problem is that theories are treated as proven facts by the majority of people who know about it, mainly the general public.

Chapter 1 & 2 - debunked false info proven false even before the video was made.

oh the irony, starting off with "Impossible galaxies".. (according to their Standard Model, that falls flat on its face every time its predictions fail. Which is mostly all the time... ) .. to then tell you about "oldest black holes in the galaxy". Which seems fine, but only when you believe in such nonsense as Black Holes...

Every theory is subject to change. That is what is great about science. It is understood by every scientist that with new evidence, applicable theory reevaluated.

All theories undergo revision all the time.

There's probably already a betting pool on new, alternative, and updated hypotheses based on how far out each researcher team's time with the telescope is dated. If there's not yet, I need to talk with some bookies.

Similar to observing ripples from a rock landing in a pond, there's enough evidence that the big bang occurring can't really be disputed. What is definitely up for grabs is the why and how. And what was before that...

​@@Alaster-The Big bang can't be refuted.....🤔. So you're telling me that all those billions of years ago, there was some unbelievably dense point of matter that popped into existence from somewhere. We don't know where it came from, but trust us....that point of matter was there. Something caused that miraculously dense point of matter to explode....oh sorry, rather expand into something. Oh yeah. What did that point of matter exist in? Was it space? No, but it existed in something. We just don't know what it was. Then that point of matter for some reason or under some mechanism that we don't understand or know why.... decided to explode or rather expand into the universe that we know today. That's one hell of a yarn as far as I'm concerned. I don't believe in fantastical bullshit. If you want to, go right ahead.

Same for a software developer honestly 😂 every time I've told someone something isn't possible, it's because I wasn't experienced enough, now I just describe the time it'll take

​@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 He does, but would you or many of us know anything about this if Simon wasn't the one reading it to us.

@ellen9575 how known these topics are isn't relevant to the point that he's not doing this "single handedly".

@xjunkxyrdxdog89 and he's very very upfront about that, just look in his cellar.

Learning like what this is, and as far as knowing shit, we know a lot more than we used too. I don't really get your point.

I know. What a future can we have. Just have to sort out who gets to be our leaders, or have none at all, and we might just make it

​@@CoastfogIs Simons head on upside down?

@animalbird9436 his whole room is actually upside down and he is hanging down like a bat

Yeah its not good falling asleep to these😂😅

Don't be ridiculous. We'll find the limits to the universe before we find the end of Simon's channels

He literally has a channel with almost 100k subs....and ZERO f**king videos! And the worst part is...I'm one of the subs!

I strongly suspect he is part of a set of identical quintuplets. And each of them fathered a set of identical quintuplets. And so on and so forth

He has 1 channel in each universe and UKposts is viewing them across the multiverse.

@ChrisKatsu 'The Whistlerverse'. I like that. I think you just coined a new phrase. We should all try to get Simon to do a video on 'The Whistlerverse' as if he has no idea what it is. I know the whole meta thing has been done to death, but i think that would actually be pretty cool.

I noticed them as well!! I love his channels and videos but they could do with editing these out for the sake of my sanity

@mizzshortie907 there isn't editing software strong enough to remove them! Ha ha

If you've ever watched a news or weather report, you can hear the big gasps of breath inward as they talk... once having focused on them, it is difficult to try to not hear them.

I'm okay with hearing people breath; I do it myself, like, ALL the time! Seriously, I understand how it could be annoying, but I guess my brain just edits it out for me. : )

You are history's greatest monster

But the largest problem is that "time" is a man-made concept and it's arbitrary and subject to things like energy, mass and other things. I've never understood (after realizing the full picture) how "everybody" is so caught up in trying to use "time" as a _constant._ It is fallacious at best, most probably wild guesses, and misleading bollocks at worst. Why isn't _energy_ the common denominator, even in "hobby" usage?

@@SebHaarfagreyou sound really smart 😍😯😯😯

There are no confirmed stars older than the universe, and your claim of 'many scientists' is wrong. Maybe a few.

@@philosophicaltool5469 The explanation for star formation is somehow missing from the script.

@@JungleJargon the whole video is missing mainly a lot of common sense, much like the field of theoretical physics.

I enjoyed your making fun of the phrase "Bursty star formation". But that is the way language works. You have to give something a "name" or "it" can't be talked about. Think about the name "Big Bang". This is actually a derogatory term given to "it" by its detractors. By giving "it" the name "Big Bang", you have given "it" a "handle" as the CBers (Citizen's Band radio) would have called it 50 years ago. Now, we can talk about "it" because "it" now has an agreed upon name, even if "it" is a silly name. Shakespeare said, "A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." What he meant is that if we call a rose a "turd biscuit" it would still smell the same. Calling the process something silly like "Bursty star formation" does not undermine the serious attempt to differentiate the process from other, standard types of star formation. Think of it another way, would you rather it be called, "The Stevenson-Hewitt post-modern analogous rapid aggregation stellar nursery model" or "Bursty star formation." Sometimes, silly is superior to superfluous. Thanks for the smile.

@@itemlocation You can’t really talk about something that doesn’t exist. Star formation is an assumption without an actual process considering that energy and matter can’t make or direct themselves.

People expected to be surprised, it's just that the surprises far exceeded expectations.

Scientists LOVE to be surprised, it's quite literally what keeps the field growing.

Now I can’t unhear that. Thanks. 😭

I agree but im not worried, have you seen the images comming out of Mars? Way better then any CG depiction, the truth is actually stranger/more beautiful than fiction, theres black sand dunes and blue rocks... no one would have thought to model that on Mars.

You actually believe those "photos" are from mars?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@DeeGee-mv6eq Yeah I really do, I'm sorry but our art is cool but not as cool as what nature's produced, that includes us.

​@@DeeGee-mv6eq The area being checked out and photographed on Mars is huge so it should be a simple job for you to utilise Google maps to identify the exact Earthly area you claim is being used instead.
