I really appreciate you posting this… I’m always embarassed by how little I know about the universe around our planet, it truly is fascinating stuff. Peace!
2:26 The other day i have read that scientists are actually planning to melt the ice on mars by using giant mirrors reflecting the light of the sun and pointing it directly at the polar ice caps. Once they manage to melt enough ice, carbon dioxide gas from the ice caps would evaporate and become part of the atmosphere. Water would flow on Mars and due to CO2 in its atmosphere; the planet can heat up over time (greenhouse effect) allowing water to continually sustain on Mars. (read on below)
Once there is water on mars, water will evaporate into the atmosphere and condense, creating clouds, rain and snow. Thanks to water and warmth on mars, plants can be planted on mars and once plants begin to grow on mars, theyll give off oxygen in a process called Photosynthesis And the ozone layer formed from oxygen that protects us from the suns deadly UV radiation will begin taking shape. But the whole process would take a veereey long time!
this guy reminds me of alton brown. if you dont know who that is, he is a famous chef look up a video of him.
Yes. Very interesting AND very humbling. To finally know that we are not alone in the universe, is quite humbling.
It is very interesting to think under those miles and miles of ice could be an ocean of water that harbors life.
Quite possibly in Europa in the ocean underneath the ice? Pretty cool thought to be honest.
I know there has to be something in this own solar system.
I agree with you on this. Theres no way theres NOT life anywhere else in the Universe.
Yep. But there has to be life somewhere in all these billions of trillions comets in our solar system. like probably a microbe.
That would be correct. But not all life can exist in ice.
Forget the bombs, I for one welcome the LHC as the new world overlord. xD
if there is ice in space doesnt that mean there is water? and were there water theres life
I think your teacher was talking about blowing up the surface of the planet, while the bad astronomer is talking about literally blowing up the whole planet.
Nice!!!
Nope. We can’t destroy the earth even if we wanted to, it’s too massive. Even the stongest bombs are nothing compared to the explosions from comets hitting the planet in the past.
All those nuclear arsenals *could* exterminate every person on the planet though.
hehe my geography teach told me that we have enough nukes to up the earth 30 times !! I guest he’s lying then
Just wondering…250 million km = 150 miles?
Damn you guys drive fast on your highways…
Slip of the tongue, otherwise a good video
this dude obviously never calculated the power of the death star
there is a “exploding planet” theory
your just
ah
….
stupid
this dude looks exactly like my astronomy teacher!!!!
Plait whass.. dis fingo about 2012 some planet x or sumthing gonna come to our solar system and stuff us up thats what dis vid said
No, you can’t see Nibru, they SAY that you can, which you can’t because it doesn’t even exist, it was a hot topic in the late 80’s or something like that but then it disappeared because they found out they were wrong, and the excessive plain tracks which is what I think you mean, that’s not to cover up Nibru.
actually, you can see planet x or nibiru, im not sure about that whole thing but ill look at ur videos about it. and i just heard about that and i think thats wierd and creepy.
