What would happen if, instead of compressing matter until a black hole forms, you'd instead increase "tension?". Would a tiny rip in space form? Would nothing happen? Is it even possible to "decrease gravity" to the same degree as we can increase it? (that's all one question btw lol)

This was one of the BEST episodes I’ve ever heard! I think it’s because Chuck and Gary both hear so many great questions all the time, they are able to distill their own questions down to their essence and really get Neil thinking and explaining things explicitly. I also love their genuine fascination and reactions to Neil’s answers! I love watching Chuck lose his mind and how incredible the universe is! Priceless!!! Keep up this awesome work guys!

I think because some of those questions have been asked for a... long time in a way. And have been out there, as human mind has been pondering those kind of questions for a while. 1. Like double slit experiment. Recently I also watched Tom Campbell and his youtube video: "Anu Physics Experiment and the Implications for Everyone". Maybe slightly wrong example, as that has a different spin and conclusions, but a lot of people has been wondering about it for a long time. 2. Communication in space. Interesting question reagarding communication in deep space, and traveling. A while back Brian Aldiss wrote a book, about generation ship, called "Non Stop". Interesting concept there, and what may happened after several generations, when the ship is traveling in space for a long time, and where there is no communication with Earth. All in all, a good episode, no question about it.

You are one of only a few I could listen to for an inordinate time regardless of whether I understand what you're saying or not. 🥰

Great episode! I tune in frequently. I learned a new thesis of time. Thank you.

Nowhere else, and with no other individuals, are these subjects covered in a way that inspires side-splitting laughter. Thank you, Gentlemen. 🙏

I am so glad to see this channel grow and have 2.7 million subscribers. Chuck’s interactions have really leveled up. He used to be as lost as I was. In my eyes, this channel is a big dea already, but I hope he gets hosting gigs for all science related shows in Netflix and all TV networks.

My kids and I love these vids. It inspires them to look deeper. Thank you soo much for these memories with them.

What a great episode! Fantastic questions and comic interludes that makes you smarter and entertained. I loved it. On a side note, great thanks to Dr. Neil for the double slit experiment explanation regarding how photons interfere with electrons turning them into particles, not consciousness!

This was by far a pretty great episode as well.. you guy's always knock it out the park because I'm sure there are those of us listener's and watcher's that also may have formed the very same questions in their mind from time to time so this was great to have them both actually ask their own questions and of course Neil always give thoughtful answer even if its somehow short as possible to save time or a truthfully answered question that says, quite frankly that even Not just Neil doesnt know but a whole planet of folks that hadn't come with an answer for a question that may never been asked or thought of or neil simply admits "idk, next question" lol i love it either way because its good that folks try to learn and sometimes there really isn't an answer because whe haven't found out yet, not that we haven't tried, bit that we just havent a clue and dont know how or what to measure for the answer to be revealed in the end.. we're all human, even the really smart ones.. lol love this show and just that single book alone that Neil showed everybody, "Physics of Energy " will have many nonstudents reaching for it to find out if its an interesting subject to learn and i agree that it would absolutely be a fun area to gain some knowledge and maybe even test ourselves against our previous knowledge if any to the newly learned knowledge gained. I love the contrast sometimes and of course love that physical learning process as it develops differently for each different thing and you get a better overall understandings for all those questions we may have had along the way. I love the learning process no matter the way because it always a curve to it and the speed of it changes as well too because some information cane be pretty dense and vast compared to other things that may be true objectively or may otherwise be seeming to be true but actually the opposite sometimes.. its always funny how that plays a tricks on some of our minds until we can actually really fully grasp exactly how vast of knowledge that can be gained and also applied too in the end.. that's just great and i love watching it unfold and really come to everyone learning man boy dont we all love Sir Chucks mind being blown at time hahaha love the show and even Gary has some good ones as well..❤❤😂😂🎉🎉

Giorgio is the Italian cognate of George. (I'm surprised I didn't even have to look that one up.) It's been suggested that the reason Brian May put his academic career in astrophysics on hold was because Galileo let him go. :p Hey, maybe StarTalk might be able to get Brian as a guest.

This is an Awesome podcast, so many complex concepts are explained in so easy terms. Brilliant job !!

Let's please have an episode of cosmic queries with Chuck answering questions to the best of his knowledge.. With the support of Neil of course

Happy New Year everybody! Thanks for all the great videos

Being from the deep, dark past of electronic communication (having been a Ham radio operator back in the 1950s), allow me to correct a very minor, error of no consequence. "Over and out," was from the movies and those copying the movies. Technically, it was either "over" or "out," not both. You either ended the communication or returned it to whoever was on the other end for them to respond. You allowed the other party to continue or to end the communication. If the other party was finished, they could tag it over if they had nothing else to say and allow you to continue or end the communication, depending on whether you were finished. Over.

Something Neil said sparked a thought with me. What if light speed was not finite, but was instant. Imagine how that would change our whole view (or lack of view) of space? We could not look “back in time”. We would only see what is happening in that moment. Thank goodness light is “slow”.

Think I am misunderstanding the time/ space graph analogy. Say time=x and space=y , at the speed of light... Why would(n't) the y and x be parallel (=)? Time is constant (As far as we are concerned) and speed of light{ls} is defined, so even at ls there is still a distance. Otherwise, travel to the past would simply be achieved "faster than light"( ftl) travel... Because y (on the graph) woud turn back on itself and supersede y. Am i seeing this wrong?

Great show! About the double slit experiment, I guess we have actually some explanation. It is that the electron has a probabilistic presence rather than a punctual position. And this probabilistic presence behaves like a wave in a vacuum. Until the particle interacts with something, there are situations where it can spread in space. So a more specific answer could be that the electron doesn't really interfere with itself, but its density of probability does interfere with itself.

When Chuck's mind blew.. so did mine, and I wanted to jump up and down, screaming like him! This is awesome.. why isn't everyone running around screaming, trying to make sense of this!!!!

Such a great team! 😊

I have always wondered when watching video's about the double or single slit interference pattern whether the results are shown with the same level of magnification. When I see say, horizontal interference patterns, the area they occupy seems much wider than the area of even two single spots shown side by side. Are the pictures of the fringes even more magnified to make things clearer?

Good stuff, love this episode

I'm buried under a veil of coming on senses. It feels to me like people in this area are conflicted about privacy v. secrecy while they're yearning to announce something they don't all want to, or don't feel they should announce. My poking at others has gotten a lot of clarity but not enough. In my opinion, if the situation runs around in metaphor and begets sides at one another's inputs, then too much secrecy is wreaking havoc. I'm here because I grew up in this spot so I don't want to abandon who were always here. I'll stay here no matter what feelings and I'll hold on together until I'm 85, like my mom did. If anybody hurts my feelings I'll stay true to them, anyway.

I LoVE this. You guys ARE awesome!

"Mr Tompkins in Wonderland" is another must-read!

Thanks for this. I'm a bit confused about the double slit experiment and observer effect. Doesn't the light being sent provide its own light? Thus negating the need for another external source? Or does even the minute amount of light the retina and camera internals store disturb the test when pointed at it?

Love the art on the walls 😊
