I've figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. Don't worry, I've technically already done the easy part and changed the stars. My parents were teachers and for over 3 decades, they taught their students my constellation. Those kids will teach their kids. So on and so on. See, stars changed. I just need help to make it legit and with the rest. I need to get to Texas ASAP. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm serious. I get 7 things. One of them being to change the stars and remember, crazy is a compliment. Figured Neil has taken on the IAU and won. He's the best place to start. If, rather when, it works it could be converted to a larger scale and EASILY regulate temperature, end drought, stop wildfires in the west. Let me know if you're interested, please and thank you. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. More, hopefully, to come.

Use the spinning force with soccer for low grav. Imagine a soccer field curled around like a ribbon. Now spin that ribbon like a wheel. The astronaut athletes would have the goalies back to back. Could be interesting to test out.

Neil and Chuck for 2024

Thanks for the video!!

You need to go on the Lex Fridman podcast.

The hammer is forged by the heat of the neutron star. Made of an Asgardian metal called "Uru" and contains the magic powers of Odin that gives the hammer an artificial intelligence to know when a living being that is worthy or unworthy is trying to wield it.

Yeah scientist were confused cause they were not equating magic in the equation. The hammer simply doesnt have a static weight and to see scientist discussing the matter was extremely frusterating cause its nothing remotely close to science fiction. Marvel is a mixture of mythology/science fiction. so its pointless to do the math.

Charles is such a great guest, love his enthusiasm.

But how does the reduced gravity affect the run up on the high jump? There will be less friction between the foot and the ground, the jumper may not be able to accelerate laterally as quickly.

Loving the chemistry!

This was a super wholesome episode. Really enjoyed the chemistry of everyone. Always so much fun

What a fun episode

I've always pictured Star Trek's Parisi Squares as a futuristic take on the sport of Jai Alai it is played worldwide, although it's especially popular in Spain, France, and in various Latin American countries. You can see a Jai Alai player in the opening sequence of the 1980s US TV show Miami Vice. I've always thought of Parisi Squares as Star Trek's take on the sport of Jai Alai b/c Jai Alai can be a dangerous sport even with the correct safety equipment for the sport.

Diggin the thumbnail from 15 years ago! 😂

Gentlemen, An interesting discussion. With regard to hitting a golf ball at high altitude, may I suggest a practical experiment. Have a pro golfer hit a few drives in Chile's Atacama dessert. I believe there are a number of observatories there at high altitude and low air density. For that matter surely there are some amateur golfers among the staff of the facilities there who could generate sufficient data to compare with their scores at sea level.

Charles Liu VAMOS!!!!!

The way they de-aged neil in the thumbnail has me lmao 😂

Lunar golf sounds awesome

Woot woot. Anytime it's geek time, with Dr. Liu? My favorite episodes hands down.

Fantastic video! Thank you!

One thing you did not take account of in the high jump. Dr. Tyson mentioned the center of mass with respect to how high the jumper goes, but using the Fosbury Flop, the center of mass does not ever get as high as the bar unless they clear by a large amount. That is one reason why the flop gives a good advantage over previous styles of jumping where the entire body of the jumper had to be over the bar.

Great point. I think that's why without taking the time to draw things up on paper and do actual calculations, they went ahead and said we would find out in the future

I love episodes with Charles Liu! I'd love to have a Home Run derby on the Moon. Nothing like a 3000ft hr.

So.. You are sayin' that if the Scottish strength games were on the Moon, you would need a pole to toss that is 6 times bigger and would go 6 times further? (to be equal as in Scotland?) Thanks!

Indeed. The crowd here went wild.

I had the idea of how we could make a game, in the real world, that is as similar to quidditch as possible. What I came up with, was a giant dodecahedron with a web of handrails throughout. Put the structure in space, with next to 0 gravity, players could use the handrails to throw themselves across the open areas. Automated drones of different sizes take the place of bludgers and the snitch. The three goal rings would be held out from opposing faces of the structure.

Use the spinning force with soccer for low grav. Imagine a soccer field curled around like a ribbon. Now spin that ribbon like a wheel. The astronaut athletes would have the goalies back to back. Could be interesting to test out.

Dr. Charles Liu ROCKS. #GaryO #LordNice #Dr.Tyson outstanding episode as anticipated. Side note, Lord Nice has a official title that's documented and recognized by military standards.

Space Olympics! Sorry I didn't catch this one earlier, love your show Neil!

It's one of the fun sports. We still learning nutrition and kinesiology lifting

parkour would play a major role in a sport in lighter gravity The javelin toss might turn into a dart game.

do more of this :)

A comment on the javelin discussion. The javelin (and the discus as well) are flying. They both use the atmosphere for lift. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, they would lose that feature thus cutting down the length of the throw. They would not go as far as six times the distance. You mentioned the changes to the javelin. Those were done to change the center of mass in relation to the length of the implement thus changing how soon the tip comes down. That then makes the javelin come down sooner in the flight. In effect the center of mass was moved closer to the tip. Another change made at the same time was the profile of the javelin to change the amount of lift generated.

Regarding Mjolnir weighing as much as 300 milion elefants: 1.Even though Thor is a god, Thor does express a small amount of physical stress when he wields the hammer(Less when he spins it). 2.When Captain America was worthy of using Mjolnir in Avengers Endgame, he did it competently. 3. Hulk wasn't worthy. If you take these into consideration you are left with 3 possibilities: 1.Either Cap is much stronger than anyone has previously anticipated. 2.Either Thor is not as strong as everyone thinks. 3.And regarding Captain America, true worthiness makes you incredibly strong. Mjolnir's weight= 300 mil elefant?Nope! But definitely more than 32.3 pounds.

Mr. Tyson, I'm trying to find the answer to this question. What will an object like the Earth Will do if the mass or gravity was increased, or decreased will it go further away from the sun, closer, or will it stay in the same orbit. with out changing the speed.

Great episode! Btw the javelin thrower was Jan Zelezny from Czech Republic. World record 98.48 m.

On archery and javelin there is another problem: arrows use their air resistance to fly straight. So they wil start toppling and might not stick in the target if they hit side first.

Please do a sports edition World Cup episode. It’s only the largest sporting event in history

Thank 😊 🙏 😊 my sister would love the swimming reference

I would totally tune into a Parisi squares game on the moon , with a extra big batt if the ion malet isn't available!!!

I am not a sports person at all, I have basically zero interest in the subject. But this squad surprisingly made sports very interesting for me, thank you guys! Great worldbuilding ideas for games alien cultures from planets with different conditions could have.😆

I like how Chuck Nice proves comedians are actually intelligent..

Archery on the moon could be incredibly hard because fletchings would do nothing to keep the arrow from tumbling.

for big asteroids or small plutoids, you could have an sport that resolves around throwing something at exactly orbital speed

The sport I think is hitting it’s limit is figure skating. There might be a quintuple jump but i fully doubt. Maybe then artistry will come back in? And P.S. will you interview Violeta!

Dr. Liu with gq hair! Always love lord nice and Mr. O'Reilly

Nice Intro, WOW

Hello Neil .... I'd (we'd) really love to learn about non Newtonian fluid from you. You are the best. Thanks

🫶🏼 love it

I think you would evolve high jump from a running up event to a static double leg vertical leap onto a platform.

You can only jump using one foot in the high jump - using 2 feet, you can jump higher!

Where can I ask questions to be answered on star talk?? Is it exclusively reserved for patrons on Patreon or can I ask questions on Twitter, KZread comments or elsewhere???

Sweet!

Great what if episode dudes...but with the "high jump" issue only Neil mentioned parabolic arc (assumed no atmosphere)...as a medium distance shooter on earth (500 yards), considering a presence of atmosphere its all about the parabolic arc...I spent $3000 bucks building a rifle with great attention to minimizing that factor...at 500 yards, ballistic coiffecient and wind drift are your concerns (drag and wind resistance, which is related to your horizontal surface area versus mass....using a second order property to maximize a 3rd order property)

Possible Paresi Squares are like a combo of hockey, rugby, and American Gladiators! Lol

Like first.... coz this is amazing show

Golf on the moon could be what I think that it should be here. If you whack a tiny ball, and you manage go find it, you win.

The OG Geek - In - Chief in the hizzy! I'm paying attention.

One's vertical on sand is totally different than concrete or hardwood floor.

He is absolutely right because the trajectory wouldn’t change just the time it would take from the bow to the target

Perisi's squares sort of "IS" shown on screen later in the series in an episode (don't know the name) when Riker and his Father are at odds with each other....

In weight lifting they changed weigh classes after some years and new world record will be set in each weight class.

The hammer was not made from dying star material. The Blacksmith used the energy from the star to melt the metal used to forge the hammer.

they didnt change the aerodynamics of the javelin shape ! they shifted more of the weight towards the front ! therefore making it dip down sooner

My favorite foursome great show team

Dr. Neil looks really really young in the thumbnail !

35:42 Didn’t we (not personally involved) hit the limit on the marathon and some snickers mark had to invent new shoes?

I want to play that Batman Beyond no gravity game.

Excuse me, but did I hear Dr. Liu correctly? 3 or 4 years from now with ppl on the moon in a habitable base? I'm new-ish to the channel, so I might just be wayyy behind on the technology we have, but even thinking that could be possible within my lifetime is wild to me.

Nice

Phobos comes to mind, as it’s escape velocity is about 41 km/h or 25 mph. But it would be too easy to throw things into Martian orbit from there.

They should build an Octogon where scientists challenge each other

I wonder how close to escape velocity an arrow would be. can the strongest crossbow put one into orbit on the moon?

guys didn't find charles liu podcast any help?? thanks

First like, then watch

Astrophysicists could have their smackdowns in Saturn's' North Pole Hexagon, rather than our mere MMA Octagon! ;)

Talk to that yt guy that did the video on the best javelin thrower ever never been accelerated my focus about something I thought was boring.

Multiple areas with their own ball that can only be played in that area. Other balls can only be kicked back to it's designated area. This would keep people from just standing around and interactive enough to be considered the same game.

@ 11:22 Chuck should have said “ mmBOOyaah!”

Mr Neal since the universe is bigger than light years what's bigger than the universe question

Chucks our buddy, he's a little more than a honorary. With a close friend like Neil around all the time, intelligence just rubs off ya know lol.

I believe records are broken partly because of a shift in consciousness. When Vasily Alekseyev set a world record in weightlifting. more athletes ended up breaking records shortly after. The 4 minute mile was said to be unbreakable, but after Jim Ryun did it, others realized they could do it too.

Neil got the young lookn pic up workn 2day 🤙🏿

Definitely would affect your trajectory

So how did they not think of shooting the archery targets either free floating in space at targets on the moon or targets floating in space while u are on the moon
