It is when we find something that DISAGREES with current models that we make real scientific progress.

It's better to preserve bees than to invent micro-robots to replace them.

I appreciate scientitsts who say, 'looks like we were wrong about xyz', and quickly adjust so they can enjoy and perpetuate the joy of discovery versus the so called scientits who are really modern day flat earthers who do everything they can to stop facts from seeing the light of day so that they can temporarily maintain false authority. Thank you!

Dolly was the first MAMMAL to be cloned. Someone cloned tadpoles back in the 50s.

Number 6 discovery: Simon churns out a new channel every few months

LOL rewatch the intro at 0.5 playback speed. Simon has been drinking all morning.

Playback at .75 makes Simon sound hammered.

As an individual with a B.S in the sciences (not even close to the biggest brain and am not about to claim so), I always appreciate new information coming out to challenge current hypothesis and theories. I have gotten very tired of scientists, who have been trained far better, coming out and stating hypotheses and theories as “fact”. They are not. These are simply the best answers we have come up with this far, and could be disproven tomorrow. The people who make these statements are standing on the shoulders of giants and acting like they are giants themselves. Not a fan of that behavior.

Last time I showed someone the big ring they got a restraining order.

You go, Alexia Lopez!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Big Ring is 9.2 billions light-years away, doesn't that mean we see it now as it was 9.2 billion years ago? You know, speed of light and all that? And if that's the case, shouldn't the Upper Limit be even smaller than 1.2 billion light-years because, as I said, it was 4.x billion light-years in diameter 9.2 billion years ago? Doesn't that make it even more puzzling?

Our *sandbox* has to be *BIG* ,this way it will take *Humanity* a very long time to explore it.. 🌌

Simon, that intro sounded like an Aussie after a few VB's 😂

"One Ring to rule them all One ring to find them One ring to bring them all And in the Darkness, bind them. "

this is one of my favorite videos of yours!! please talk about more scientific discoveries!

They let her in to their phd program and she completely wrecks their entire lives, proving everything wrong before she even finishes

Governments are gonna love getting their hands on the future mini robots...

Me, I want tiny robots for pest control. A whole platoon of mechs wandering my house, killing ants and flies.

I always click on his videos thinking it's Vsauce

Literally everyone is watching this in the future.

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you, hope to see much more of this content

It was an informative and wonderful scientific explanation and coverage...thanks for sharing

the big bang isnt a center-point detonationfor everything everywhere , it just serves as a center point relative to us.

Yaaaaaay, fun and potentially undepressing video ^_^ lol j/k Appreciate all the effort that goes into all the content you guys do. Merci! ~a random canadian subscriber dude

My favorite recent discovery was evidence for the fusion of elements inside water vacuum bubble collapses. It is absolutely fascinating. It totally rewrites most of what we understand to be about the formation of elements in our galaxy, human history, radiometric dating, and much more. It also opens up modern alchemy as a legitimate science based specialty, lol. All around super cool.

thanks Simon

I stood up and applauded the water ion battery invention. Yes please!!!!

The Big Ring (and companion) sounds like another universe interacting with ours in the way that bubbles do.

Simon!! I'm impressed!!!! Unlike americans, who ALWAYS manage to mispronounce place names in Australia, you were able to pronounce "Melbourne," as flawlessly as a local!!! Well done, Simon! I take back 20% of the things I've previously said about your pronunciation...

Thanks for a great video. And if you want tor widen your audience you could dial down the background music to make it easier for old-timers like me to filter the speech from the background :D

What Simon says gives me a big kick in the bejeebers. Great science stories. Thank you!

As soon as enough lithium batteries are used up you can also extract the lithium and precious metals from them to make new ones. It is called recycling and works fabulously if you actually do it.

OMG the intro was indecipherable for me. love it

I love the way you finish discussing a conundrum with a question 😂

They should be literate and call it the One Ring: "One Ring to rule them all One ring to find them One ring to bring them all And in the Darkness, bind them. "

The first two seconds of this video on repeat is all I need

This is insane stuff Simon.

Batteries: I know Simon meant nickel-cadmium. 😉

I’m going to watch this again in 2025,6,7,8,9,30.

I love your channel, beautiful being! ❤️❤️❤️ namaste 🙏🏻

Good vid broski

YEAH SCIENCE!

Closer to halfway through2024? Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, 10 billion light-years in length (observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter).

I’m a bit surprised to see WSU make it on this list though I was hearing about some of the mechanical engineering stuff through the professor I worked for in the engineering department. I just didn’t realize how big this was until now.

Thank you

The analogy you used comparing the black hole to a little boy that looks like a grown man reminds me of the Robin Williams movie 'Jack'. It's like a 'Jack' hole.

Dang

Using memory alloys as mechanical parts is also how you create a "hook shot". Using electricity to quickly heat up a specialized stand of memory alloy-which would cause it to expand outward, and then allowing it to cool back into its designated shape is how you cause it to contact. Innovation/ideas like this is a key component in creating small hook-shots.

The Australian batter research is awesome.

RMIT I go to that uni

Can't wait to see what all JW finds out about the universe, and other sensor equipment we put out there. Not too long ago, we were convinced the sun and planets all rotated around the Earth. What will we find out next that we completely screwed up? Going to be a fun journey. And watching all the big brains go "But it can't work like that!!" and complain is going to be half the fun.

I have not seen a video of yours in years meaning that subsequently I have not heard your voice in years. Your voice has changed. LOL I like it

Exciting news!!

Watching the latest Simon video in his home country!! Passing time a Heathrow.

I always like the 'we came from a big bang' yeah cool, but were did the big bang come from 😂

Tssss Tsssss Tssss Tssss Tough to listen to this on headphones. Is it me or does this channel Have the occasional audio issue? Love the content, curious about the audio problems.

Have they made any progress with telomere shortening problem?

Talking about the size of what is supposedly a singularity is always weird to me

I think Simon's beard is getting darker.

how do you just stumble on something for the first time, that takes up over 5% over the entire observable universe

Interesting that two of the five topics dealt with how current observations make clear that astronomical sciences and narratives need revamping.

Simon looked lovely in that outfit last week

My understanding is that lithium is actually incredibly abundant and that there is so much we could never run out. Extracting it is another matter.

If you think about the properties of wave propagation especially as it relates to matter of significant density variance, the 'big ring' could be a hint as to 'where' the big bang took place. We are situated somewhere within the universe, the expanding nature of which necessitates that this even happened some'where'.

Simon, where do you get your information from? I would also like to keep up with the scientific community but not sure how

"but what exactly?" When your model continuously fails to predict new discoveries like this, and even worse declares such discoveries as impossible, it's time to consider the possibility that your cosmological model is just flat out wrong. Maybe start with the possibility that the big bang as proposed never happened.

The REALITY is… We don’t know 💩

UHHH, Simon, you got that wrong. The positive terminal of a battery is the ANODE and the negative is the CATHODE.

We need to hear this kind of things in daily news.

Wow human clones sounds like a source that'll guarantee your body won't reject any transplantation

Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics - that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look. This problem, known as the Hubble Tension, has the potential to alter or even upend cosmology altogether. In 2019, measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the puzzle was real; in 2023, even more precise measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cemented the discrepancy. Now, a triple-check by both telescopes working together appears to have put the possibility of any measurement error to bed for good. The study, published February 6 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that there may be something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe.

Yeah, we're going to live to see "Parts: The Clonus Horror" become our everyday reality.

I had to re listen to that into 😭🤣

Wait until you discover biological based batteries!

Two big discoveries: scientist finds literally the largest thing in the sky. And we apparently never tried just using water for batteries.

Ah, nickel cadium, the best cadium

I'd be curious to see the psychological differences between the identical clones.

Him: "Artificial pollinating" Me: *Starts having a crisis after remembering that one Black Mirror episode*

hello everyone!

Halo Ring?

At time stamp <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="276">4:36</a> you mentioned "cadium" in reference to nickel cadium batteries. I was unfamiliar with cadium so I looked it up and even allowing for obscure English pronunciation I think you were referring to "cadmium" for nickel cadmium batteries. It may be a snivel, but you are so usually accurate that I have come to depend on your knowledge base and I don't wish to see a spot on your otherwise outstanding record. I enjoy your programs and watch most of them. Thank you for the effort you invest.

That intro. Wow. I had no idea what you said for 5 seconds. 😂

Why does it seem like nature has failsafes for cloning

nice

A Big Hello From Greece 🌞👋👍

Washington State University is my school. Their robots department keeps getting better and better. It's funny because I am an engineer and I witnessed how little resourced they get compared to some schools.

*I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!* Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $27,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️

Ah, the big ring. Is it really such a mystery? The problem w/the BR is that it defies what is believed to be the age of the universe. On its own it might be a mystery, but, when considered in light of other.issues in cosmology, the mystery becomes less mystterious. How about the invention of dark energy? An ad hoc creation when confronted with a model refuting observation. It was either create a hypothetical cause for their model's failure, or they admit the big bang is refuted. 😮 This hypothetical energy is entirely unknown, has.never been directly observed and some might even say it is pseudo science. Why did they create it, because it seems the universe evolved too quickly than predicted.by the model. The Hubble Tension, to some is a crisis in cosmology. Twp methods of measuring the rate of alleged expansion do not coroborate. As well, the data suggests different parts of the unniverse are expanding at differents rates. Three points of contemtion pertaining to the alleged expansion of the.universe. The Hubble Tension is potentialy due to the invalidity of the Hubble Constant. UKposts channel, See The Pattern has done a great vid on this. The problem is that both methods used to measure the alleged expansion use the Hubble Constant. Bekieve it or not, the Hubble Constant is based on an untested assumption that Redshift is purely a Doppler Effect. It has never been empirically tested, its not as if we can use a measuring tape to confirm the distances the Hubble Constant gives us. In fact, one could argue that measuring two different light sources and getting two different results is perhaps the first real test for the hubble constant and it failed. If P then Q, if not Q then not P. So the universe is not expanding and mystery solved.

We theorize that time slows when we move near light speed. How fast is the sol system moving through space and does that apply to solar systems?

I can think of 2 potential answers to the Big Ring and other gargantuan structures & objects: 1. Rogue waves of the primordial plasma. We see freak peaks and troughs in our own ocean's waves many magnitudes greater than those around it. Thus, it is not farfetched to consider the same is possible for all kinds of waves 2. The Universe is older than we think. We calculated the age of the universe using the CMB, but the CMB that we see could be not the original outburst, but instead an echo, or even from a later 'big bang'. Matter - and therefore space itself - is not distributed evenly. It could be assumed that a dense area of the universe collapsed and rebounded in its own 'big bang'

"Something we think we know has to be wrong." Sorry, but I actually trust the Science so this is not possible.

I can tell who edited some of your videos because they dont fix the sharp high frequency hiss your microphone does to your S's. Maybe their speakers dont hit those frequencies or maybe they are def to them but damn its annoying. Love your videos tho.

Big ring blew my mind

The most amazing thing about this video is that UKposts's automatic transcription system was able to decipher the first few words spoken in this video.

I knew a guy in the 1960s who did the salt water thing and had scaled his car to run on it..or so he claimed until his untimely and sus death..whixh turned out it wasnt him who died..he went into hiding but they evidently found him again when his body was discovered burned in a sus house fire...fire department said itnwas a cigarette but he didn't smoke...couldn't stand the smell.

Fml, when will people finally accept our Age of the Universe is vastly wrong 😂

Nitinol has wonderful properties that should be looked into for making engines

I love your channels but man, you gotta work on how sharp your "s" sounds when talking. I don't know if that is a mixing issue or microphone issue, I just know that it always comes across really strong when watching on any of my computers.
