Guy: "I'm scared and freaked out about how small we are in the universe. How do I get over this?" Lyle: "You're so right, you're insignificant and absolutely miniscule. You're nothing. You're a tiny meaningless bug that will never have an affect on the universe. Think about how small you are, you ant."

Mmmmaybe. It would likely...how to put this...create a catalyst of getting the existential issues to the surface, Of course, it would be potentially terrifying to try to be his tripsitter, if that's what you mean. It almost sounds like he's experiencing a sort of vertigo or fear of heights kind of visceral, physiological reaction to "getting" the size of space.

@@izzikat9252 yeah thats what i was meaning! Ive tripsitted a lot of my friends, and have some weird stories lol… had to keep a guy from jumping out of the bathroom and licking my exs feet while talking in tongues about “the gatessssss” and the “snakesssss” off only 1.5g of shrooms for his first time. Having to restrain someone when they’re freaking out and tripping while trying to calm them down and redirect their thinking can be so stressful. Honestly I still would have tripsit the dude in the call because I’m not afraid of outerspace, for some reason the universe brings me peace lol when I think about it even though I like reading and watching eductional content about our universe. So maybe who knows if in some parallel universe I could have been in a gecko suit tripsitting him instead of him calling Lyle in a gecko suit haha.

to the first guy: space is scary af and so is the sun your fear is normal and you don’t have to feel ashamed it’s amazing that you actually realize your place in the universe bc some people are too wrapped up in themselves to even look up let alone understand the craziness of the universe. I hope you know you’re stronger than the anxiety it’s not who you are and you realize that instead of our smallness being a scary thing it’s a beautiful thing because of how rare it is and yeah we’re not fully in control but we DO have some control and that’s the beauty of it!!
Amateur Astronomer means people that look through telescopes and take pictures. That's literally what it is he wasn't lying he wasn't misleading and he was telling the truth.
There's nothing wrong with a bathroom full of clowns.
Everything the amateur astronomer is scared of gives me reassurance.
Crazy being on a giant rock flying around a ball of fire, isnt it?
Space guy is definitely an amateur astronomer. Just like a guy that plays guitar for fun is an amateur musician. Idk why Lyle got so hung up on that term.

He got hung up on the term cause he's very drunk. But, in his defense, the term "amateur astronomer" doesn't make any sense. An amateur musician is someone who makes music without getting paid. A so-called "amateur astronomer" does nothing that a professional astronomer does (doing science), except maybe for looking through a telescope and looking up what they're seeing. They should call themselves "space watcher", or something, but I guess that sounds less fancy.

The pale blue dot was Sagans idea. he convinced the flight team to take the pick from past Saturn, as it wasn't part of the science package and required pushing the instrument....the result is very much like the Earth rise from the Moon---the man who took that shot died a few weeks ago trying to complete loop in his vintage plane.

First caller talking about KSP. It can be fun but man, it can be equally terrifying - miscalculating your fuel, getting stranded out between Venus and Jupiter, nothing but void behind like 5 cm of aluminium alloy wall, with a total of 20 cubic meters of space and no way for anyone to come get you, waiting to see if thirst, cold, suffocation or radaition sickness gets you first. If you walk out of the airlock you'll have a bit below 10 seconds until the void sucks the oxygen right out of your blood through the lungs.
Great video lots of different perspectives and characters
The stars are the birthright of humanity. They belong to us.
the size of an atom only depends on 2 things: electron mass the the fine structure constant (unless you consider the speed of light and planks constant to be additional things), it's 50 pm. We're 2m, Earth is 12 Mm (sorry for the metric crap), so yes, our scale is closer to Earth than an atom by a factor of.... 6666.666666666m what???
“I’m just a squishy meat sack”… huh well yeah but I haven’t felt these words before. Very well funnily put.
One day, while doing nothing particularly out of ordinary, because of natural laws I was completely powerless to understand or intuit, I was killed in a horrifying way by forces vastly in excess I was ever designed to experience, for no reason, to no ones particular surprise or upset. In this way we are more alike, then different.

Being unnerved by how insignificant you are in the greater scope of the universe is normal and relatable, but only until it becomes debilitating. When it DOES become debilitating, it's useful to remember that you've been completely insignificant since BIRTH, you have ALWAYS been that way, and that the inconceivably enormous size of the universe has never impacted your day to day life. Then you will realize that the way you feel is just that... a feeling. Astrophobia is the irrational fear of stars and space, it's classified as a phobia, and its treatment is the same as every other phobia. Take breaks to relax when you need to, take deep breaths when you're afraid, remember that anxiety won't hurt you, and then, when you're ready, face your fears.

1 atom is significantly smaller to a sandwich than a sandwich is to the earth. 1 single cell in your body contains a around 100 trillion atoms and the average human contains around 37.2 trillion cells. I'm too lazy to do the entirety of this math, but you could probably fit about 350 billion foot longs into the earth, but there are trillions upon trillions of atoms in a foot long

Considering there are 7-8 billion people on Earth I’d say it would be about 350-500 billion footlong subs if you’re talking about the surface of the Earth / water- it’d be a lot more if you stacked it up to the atmosphere / ozone layer

@@AJBuddha my math is probably off. But the fact would still remain, as atoms are so small we can't even see them. Depends on how we look at the question if it's about covering the entire earth or filling up the entire center of the earth, but I am certain the size would still be significantly smaller. I don't really have the patience to calculate it right now. Stacking it up to the atmosphere might be debatable tho
Posted 11 seconds ago, am I the first to witness such an occurence? What a momentous occassion.
I do the nasal spray ketamine (spravato) twice a week. It’s been life changing! You are required to be on some sort of anti-depressant or meds at the same time. But I highly recommend it

Existential things like our insignificance in the grand scheme of the universe actually bring me peace. I used to be scared of the weather as well but at some point I decided to surrender with grace. It's best to focus on things that are within your control, there really is no point in worrying about things beyond our reach or influence bc whatever comes of them will still come regardless of what we do. The important part is how you react in the aftermath, assuming there is an after. The Amateur Astronomer seems to be experiencing obsessive thoughts and should consider treatment for anxiety if he hasn't already, I waited ti respond until the videos end so dont I recall.
New geck, excited as heck
i had a dream a while back that ppl were gathering at dusk for what i thought was 4th of july but as soon as the sun set i was awestruck by everyone gazing at a newly visible human populated planet passing in orbit that was smaller than our planet and very extremely close but had no catastrophic effects. we all just stood staring down at the planet. i could make out the street lamps and ever since waking up everything feels upside down
And then i remembered that he is indeed shirtless 😢😂😂😂
To the first guy: If you haven't, research Existential OCD. Me and countless others have been where you are, absolutely terrified and having my thoughts and essentially my life taken over by the obsessive thinking of space, universe, what's beneath and a tiny little human's part in all of this. I used to have full-blown panic attacks when I saw the moon or the sun. But it's 100% something you can get over. For me what worked was OCD-specific methods (ERP first and foremost) and researching philosophy to come to terms with existing as a part of this weird fucking universe. It's a hell of a scary and rough journey but I believe you'll make it and find calm.

Space guy. Try exploring schumann resonance. There is a theory that as the population of the Earth reaches that of the amount of neurons in the human brain, we become connected in a global neural network similar to synapses in the human brain. Basically, the idea is that the Earth becomes a giant Brain AKA the Collective Unconscious.
Love kerbal!!!!❤😂
It is true. The very small to the very big... on that scale humans would be more to the very big passed the half way point. Humans are huge in reality

The answer to is a subway sandwich closer to the size of the Earth than a single atom according to chatgpt: Subway Sandwich to Earth: Length of Subway SandwichDiameter of Earth=0.3048 meters12,742,000 meters≈2.39×10−8 Diameter of EarthLength of Subway Sandwich=12,742,000 meters0.3048 meters≈2.39×10−8 Atom to Subway Sandwich: Diameter of an AtomLength of Subway Sandwich=0.0000000001 meters0.3048 meters≈3.28×10−10 Length of Subway SandwichDiameter of an Atom=0.3048 meters0.0000000001 meters≈3.28×10−10 Comparing these ratios, 2.39×10−82.39×10−8 (Subway sandwich to Earth) is much larger than 3.28×10−103.28×10−10 (atom to Subway sandwich). So, a footlong Subway sandwich is indeed much closer in size to the entire Earth than it is to a single atom. Hope this helps!
