Why Martian Canals Still Matter
Переглядів 198,699
День томуA century ago, many thought Mars was scored by a canal system constructed by an advanced civilization - an idea championed by astronomer Percival Lowell. Why? How did an astronomer come to this conclusion? Today we explore the canal phenomenon and discuss why it's a crucial allegory from history - pertinent now more than ever. Written & presented by Prof David Kipping.

The section on a stubborn heart made me think of Planck's sentiment on the subject, "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it..."
@CoolWorldsLab 3 роки тому
Wow great quote
@Dragrath1 3 роки тому
Yeah sadly a very true quote regarding human bias. I forget the exact wording but in a book on the glacial lake dam burst floods it discussed about how the hypothesis of J Harlen Bretz for the glacial lake Missoula mega flood hypothesis based off the geological evidence but was met with controversy as catastrophism or the view that there can be sudden catastrophic events in Earths history was against the Uniformatarianism model that geological changes are only gradual. In the closing remark the book said Bretz lived to see his work accepted by the scientific community only because he outlived his opponents. Among humans fixation with age is a real problem with evolutionary origins the shift from what they call fluid intelligence to crystalized intelligence. In the above it also points out the dangers of oversimplification or reductionism. I the case above geological processes can and do happen slowly but when conditions are right catastrophic changes also occur so neither was completely correct both had been stretched too far. Given the number of times in science that the final conclusion ends up finding a combination of factors where multiple competing hypothesis turn out to be co-important rather than just one it does become a really dangerous side effect of reductionism. The argument over how many spiral arms the milky way has is another example that comes into mind and there is building evidence that MOND and dark matter might both be needed (or rather that MOND observations arise from the equation of state for dark matter rather than being fundamentally a difference in how gravity works). Being open minded is hard for people and thus I think we need to design our systems in science to account for that bias.

David Kipping addresses a particularly difficult topic of our ages with sensitivity and flair. I know, I have lived for science among the most illustrious, yet have relatives who share in the conspiracy theories, on whom I find myself incapable of any sort of influence. I have found the experience humbling and I grasp around for insights. These are hard to come by. This attempt counts for me as one of the rare helpful gem, passionate and sincere, with echoes in its calm intensity reminding one of the late Carl Sagan.
@garryjones1847 3 роки тому

Love the video. Percival Lowell may have believed in bunk pseudo-science, but in pursuit of a bogus hypothesis, he built an important observatory that discovered Pluto and expanded the human race's understanding of the universe. Being wrong is the price you pay for occasionally being right - and discoveries sometimes come from unexpected sources with wacky motivations and ideas driving them. We need more Percival Lowells.

Excellent video. The problem with alien hypotheses is that they tend to lead to other hypotheses because people's imagination runs wild, even scientists. Someone once wrote or said we shoud never put an inference after another inference.
@CoolWorldsLab 3 роки тому
Interesting quote, let me know if you find out who that's from
@MacSvensson 3 роки тому
I found the following. Not sure if that's what you meant. definitions.uslegal.com/i/inference-on-inference-rule/ Inference-on-Inference Rule Law and Legal Definition Inference on inference rule is a principle that when an inference is based on a fact, that fact must be clearly established and if the existence of such a fact depends upon a prior inference no subsequent inferences can legitimately be based upon it. In short, a presumption based on another presumption cannot be a basis for determining an ultimate fact. This rule was propounded in the case Commercial Credit Corp. v. Varn, 108 So. 2d 638 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1st Dist. 1959) wherein the court held “ in civil cases if the proved circumstances justify an inference pointing to an essential fact which inference outweighs all reasonable inferences to the contrary, it can then be said that a conclusion as to the existence of the ultimate fact is justified by the circumstantial evidence. However, the established rule of evidence is that the court cannot construct a conclusion upon an inference which has been superimposed upon an initial inference supported by circumstantial evidence unless the initial inference can be elevated to the dignity of an established fact because of the presence of no reasonable inference to the contrary.”

Your “dreaming in rigor,” is really eloquent, Bill, and a very accurate comment on David Kipping’s work-both in his lab and interfacing with us. More than usual, this video was extraordinary. It’s like those discursively brilliant, gem-scaled, elemental essays once common in scholarly quarterlies, but not so much in the digital, video-dominated media of these times. I haphazardly collect vintage textbooks from the 1870s through 1940s, because no matter how many advances have supplanted the assertions of those texts, the articles are amazing-utter pleasures of language, turns-of-insight, gorgeous vocabulary and Magellanic sweep. Not so surprising, given the autumnal summation quality of the 19th century, and the good fortune of scientists and academics who worked and wrote contemporary with the likes of Bohr, LeMaitre, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Fleming, Huxley, Vavilov, Ramon Y Cajal, Oparin, Pauling and Crick. Their articulations were often stupefyingly rational and always rhetorically graceful and compellingly moral. The exact powers of delivery that describe Prof. Kipping.

Putting the real video parts together with the CGI for the Perseverance landing really does make it more real in a way. What I found the most interesting when I first saw the landing videos was how due to the Martian atmosphere and the temperature of the thrusters, you can't even see any flames coming from the rocket. Which gives it a bit of an alien feel to it really, like you're watching real life science fiction with a mysteriously hovering platform.

@metametodo 3 роки тому
I noticed how almost every video here is made in such a way that I end up feeling weirdly calm, mellow, in an existential sense. Maybe the way I can try to explain this is that you do a great job in presenting every grandiose aspect of the universe, while simultaneously making us feel the evermost human, in the most pure sense of the word, with it's own grandiose form. I really liked the comparison you made between being in love and scientific discovery. It's a sutle and, simultaneously, deeply engaging thing to be in. One can argue it can be said as an art to act on these in a wise manner.

2:20 That audio was seriously screwing with me, we had a Mars landing, a SpaceX liftoff, and a SpaceX landing going on all at once hahaha

Haha ye I shoved quite a bit of random radio chatter in there for atmospheric effect, sometimes I give myself a little artistic license...

I was gonna say the same thing. M1D gave it away. Either way I love this channel as much as I love sn10s backflip to celebrate its landing today. Go Mars!!!!

As someone who spent 4 years on "it's probably noise" during my PhD I very much enjoyed these stories.

My immediate reflection on this enlightening video is that just because Lowell and others even today have been and are misguided, it doesn’t necessarily mean that academe isn’t broken. The anecdote about Lyne and the tacit recognition on the part of his colleagues who applauded his admission is telling: in a reformed academe, saying you got it wrong shouldn’t require that much courage and publishing negative results would garner as much kudos as conforming to the mainstream of opinion. But I am also only human and this piece did two things to me: it cleared my mind and also moved me to tears. (PS Edited: I got Lyne‘s name wrong, even after looking it up! 😂)

Fun topic, fantastic script and editing. If we ever do find evidence of past life on mars we'll know there is so much more to learn about the universe.
