In Sovjet Russia, the north pole comes to explore you

what i have learned from this video is that, basically.. the earth is doing the most boring, slow pole dance around the Russian flag..

I love how even you couldn't stop yourself from laughing at the pole dance joke

Everyone gets a bit grumbly when Russia plants a flag on the North (Geographic) Pole (as of August 2007), meanwhile the US has got a flag on the moon, its name and President on the Golden Disc for aliens to hear and all the spacecraft launched by NASA. How do you think the poor Brits at ESA feel. God.

Thought you'd go into how the north and south poles switch occasionally due to a switch in the movement of the tectonic plates and thus reversing the flow of all the iron and all that inside earthly goodness. Either way amazing video :D

tatuhey But as he said in the video many times, the North Pole is actually a magnetic south pole. If you didn't know, that's because with magnets, opposites attract (south attracts north). So the North needle on a compass is attracted (points to) the south pole, but we call it North.

Let me remember my time in the flight school. If you are flying above the north pole, your compass will point downwards. So if you flew above the southpole, your compass would spin, 'cause it points to the northern direction which is everywhere.

You never cease to amaze me and blow my mind

That's hilarious! A pole dance around the Russian flag. Props to the Russians tho for planting it back in 2007

Don't compass actually point both the north and south poles by aligning with the field? Then, the location of both poles would affect the direction pointed, right? If so, shouldn't compass point to the geomagnetic north pole, wich as I get it, is the net result/average of both poles? Maybe it would point with a stronger bias towards the real location of the magnetic north or south pole the closer you are to one of them?

Great Video!

I can't believe it was in 2007 the Russians put there flag there, I could've sworn it was last year 0_o

the north pole has fallen to the Russians(2007), but the moon has fallen to the Americans(1969), and the south pole has fallen to the Norwegians(1911). ah... the Equator has fallen to Ecuador... and Mars has fallen to March. aand Uranus has fallen to your butthole.

actually that is the magnetic north pole since the compass direction gets it's name from the region it points toward, not the other way around. it would be more accurate to say that the compass needle is a magnetic south thats been painted red and labeled north.

This is where the statement "everything is relevant" belongs. North and South are just titles. They function exactly the same whatever they are labeled as.

MinutePhysics, I have a question. You know when you pour a liquid out of a pan, pitcher, bowl, cup, or other thing, instead of pouring where you want it to go, it drips down the side and pours down at the bottom of the pan, etc. It's very annoying. Why does it happen, and is there a way to stop this from happening?

I like the animations. Sometimes a visual explanation makes something easier to understand.

Awesome video! Just one thing: You label the magnetic field as a dipole field, does this imply that there can be monopole fields?

Love the last words you said... LOL

Don't the pins in compasses have a south end of the magnet so it faces the north pole or what?

What happened to the Universe Series? I really enjoyed that!

That makes sense now. Thanks!

i love when Henry explains stuff to me

That ending was amazing.

Great story! Can your next video explain hydronic fracking?

I want more episodes!

hey Henry, how do you get yourself going on a swing without pushing off the ground? how do you generate the force to move while still a part of the system?

that conclusion killed me!! hahahahaha

Apart from the pole dance statement, I also loved "the north pole's whereabouts depend on what you care about" 😂

This is amazig :D thanks

Amazing!!! And loved the pole dance.. Ha ha

Love that pic of glatzmeyer's model of the self reversing dynamo! UCSC doing big things!

Damn....all those years of wrong perception i had. Thanks minutephysics for clearing the doubt!

Do a video on perpetual motion minute physics!

so what you say is if you use compass to navigate and you come back to the same place 40years later, you could not find the same target ?

that was really good ... got to learn something extra (Y)

I keep getting distracted by the great music in the background and I need to keep rewinding the video every 20 seconds to hear what the actual content was about.

I wonder if all three of these points will ever meet (the geographic, magnetic and geomagnetic north poles)

Top notch, fascinating as hell, maybe scott in the sahara was not so far-fetched after all!

that Earth-pole dancing though 😂

Is there a difference between south and north magnetism? Like, other than being opposite each other? Something that straight up states that the magnetism on the north pole is actually 'south' magnetism, and vice versa? Is there a reason to go on about south versus actual south with magnetism?

when are you adding more stuff to minutephysics

So what happens if the two poles (magnetic ones) switched (if they can)? Will compasses basically not work and does this ever happen?

Can you do a video about your thoughts on the alcubierre drive? "warp drive" Please and thank you

Gotta love that ending :D

I'm sorry I cant figure out how to write an email right now so I have to ask here how the video was called in witch you say that thing with the movement and the relativiti theory

I heard that if we go towards north we'll reach north but if we travel south we'll always travel north.... how is that so?

Hey, I have a topic, when movies go "slow-mo" and all sound goes lower is this because of how the sound waves get to your ear with a seemingly larger interval in between them. Is this true or am I just pointlessly typing this?

Also, the pole can be measured as the semiaxis parallel the vector of the angular speed of the Earth rotating on the Sun orbit. This one would cyclicly change its position during the year!

The magnetic needle points to neither the magnetic north nor the geomagnetic north, its somewhere in between according to the local geomagnetic field.

What I like about MinPhys vids is that the comments are almost always intelligent :)

if we are on the north pole, where would the compass show us north and where would be north anyways?? would it be to our left when facing east??

If there is a laptop on the ISS with a hard disk drive, will the torque from its spinning rotate the laptop as well?

The biggest slowest pole dance ever LMFAO I LOVE IT

Just saying, Henry, but you should do more videos like you did back in the good days, like your 'Why is it Dark at Night?' video.

Yes, undeniable logic there. I would, however, like to to see your sources.

So when the Arctic explorers went to the north and south poles, which ones did they go to?

Minutephysics, can you do something on Noether's theorem? Talk about how there's a mathematical connection between time translation invariance and conservation of energy, or gauge invariance and charge. I think it's one of the most beautiful facts about nature, yet it seems like we expect the layperson to have advanced math and QFT knowledge to understand it. Well if anyone can have a layman's discussion about Noether's theorem, it's you.

it would be helpful if you could explain the black body radiation :D

I think it's also noteworthy that scientists have said that the current magnetic field is declining quite rapidly, which could suggest we are coming up to one of these magnetic "reversals" relatively soon.

lol the biggest and slowest pole dance ahahahah i learn and laugh at the same time! this is The Life eheh
