2 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:45,780 And part of our quantum quest all aboard the Starship QI we have from a distant galaxy Susan 3 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:46,780 Kalman. 4 00:00:46,780 --> 00:01:10,189 And it's Joe Light Universe, Holly Walsh. 5 00:01:10,189 --> 00:01:12,189 Planet he's from, Alien Davis. 6 00:01:12,189 --> 00:01:31,939 Press the transporter thing again, that didn't quite work. 7 00:01:31,939 --> 00:01:44,359 Buzz is a highly illogical captain, Susan Goes. 8 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,359 Sexiest night I've ever had. 9 00:01:46,359 --> 00:02:23,419 Question one. 10 00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:26,139 Seven seven eight point five three. 11 00:02:26,139 --> 00:02:28,139 Everything can happen in the next half hour. 12 00:02:28,139 --> 00:02:34,419 Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to boldly go to a galaxy far, far away 13 00:02:34,419 --> 00:02:39,939 and become the first Earthlings to reach another star. 14 00:02:39,939 --> 00:02:42,580 So my question is, shall we get going? 15 00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:48,800 Yeah. 16 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,800 So here's the thing. 17 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,879 If we are heading into interstellar space, it is not necessarily true that the earlier 18 00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,039 you set off, the earlier you will get there. 19 00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:00,520 Why is that the case? 20 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,400 Is it southern rail? 21 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:11,199 Is it because space time is warps basically, so the faster you go through space, then 22 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:12,879 the time changes? 23 00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:13,879 No. 24 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:19,000 If you set off too early, the technology on Earth will advance while you've gone 25 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,439 off and you'll be overtaken by rivals who've left later but in a faster spaceship. 26 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:24,439 Oh. 27 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:27,159 They could pick you up though, couldn't they? 28 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:28,159 They could. 29 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:29,159 I suppose. 30 00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:30,159 Yeah. 31 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:35,240 I'm splitting tickets to get from Glasgow to London because if you think I'll go on 32 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,800 the half seven, but actually you're better to go on the eight sometimes. 33 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,800 I'll leave it a bit later. 34 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,800 Because you don't have to change at Preston. 35 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,800 That's it, exactly. 36 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,800 It's just like changing at Preston. 37 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,400 So the furthest spacecraft from Earth is Voyager 1, it was launched in 1977. 38 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,039 40 years later, Stephen Hawking proposed an interstellar craft which would theoretically 39 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:02,280 use energy from the sun to reach enormous speeds and overtake Voyager in just a few 40 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,280 months. 41 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,639 So the ideal point that we should set off can be found using a really simple calculation 42 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,879 called the weight calculation. 43 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,879 I'm sure we've all jotted this down at some point. 44 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:20,439 So our recommendation is don't set off on an interstellar mission if it's going 45 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,199 to take more than 50 years to get there. 46 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,680 So currently space probes can travel around 50,000 miles per hour. 47 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,040 So it is definitely worth setting off to visit somewhere that is less than 20 billion 48 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,279 miles away. 49 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,240 But the closest star, so not our sun to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is about 25 trillion 50 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,519 miles away. 51 00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:43,199 So probably not worth setting off to at the moment. 52 00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,600 There's going to be a cut-off point as well because you basically want to put a 53 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,199 three-year-old in a rocket, don't you? 54 00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:54,199 You don't want to put a 50-year-old in a rocket because they'll be dead before that 55 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:55,199 even happens. 56 00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,199 No, no, because you would go into stasis, like in Alien, they've got the tubes and 57 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:04,199 you just go to sleep in your pants because they're always in their pants. 58 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:05,199 Yeah. 59 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:08,199 I don't know why they never wore pyjamas but they're just in their pants. 60 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:11,199 I guess because if you think about it, pyjamas that your parents wear aren't 61 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:12,199 pyjamas you're going to wear. 62 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:17,199 You know, like fashion changes, you don't want to wake up. 63 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:18,199 Time with tartan pyjamas. 64 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:19,199 Yes. 65 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,199 So, tartan pyjamas, so when I then wake up in 50 years when I'm at this star 66 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:25,199 that you refer to. 67 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:26,199 Yeah, yeah. 68 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:27,199 You look like Rupert the Bear. 69 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,199 Yeah. 70 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,199 The first person to leave the solar system will almost certainly be a man 71 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,199 called Clyde W. Tombaugh. 72 00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:38,199 He was the US astronomer who discovered Pluto. 73 00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:43,199 He died in 1997 and his ashes were placed inside the New Horizon probe. 74 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:46,199 That was launched in 2006. 75 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,199 He's already had a flyby Pluto which is great because he discovered it. 76 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:53,199 It happened in 2016 and his ashes are still travelling out towards the 77 00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:54,199 edge of the solar system. 78 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,199 That's sort of pollution really, isn't it? 79 00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,199 Kind of littering. 80 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,199 You think so? 81 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,199 Would you send your ashes up into space? 82 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:03,199 No. 83 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:04,199 Oh, I think it would be marvellous. 84 00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:06,199 I don't think you'd notice, Sandy. 85 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,199 I mean, I don't know what you expect to happen when you are 86 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:13,199 ashes but I expect you can see and hear almost nothing. 87 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,120 There's a company in America that now offers to turn your ashes into 88 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,120 glassware. 89 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Yours would just be a shot glass. 90 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Wow. 91 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:35,360 I think you should be made into a monocle. 92 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,360 I think it would be great, rather than sending your ashes into 93 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,360 space, they should just propel your dead body so that anyone 94 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,360 as suddenly as you're like, is that Sandy? 95 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,360 Talk to me. 96 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,360 Close your eyes. 97 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360 One of my friends, they had ashes of somebody turned into an 98 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360 egg timer. 99 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,360 That's a great idea. 100 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,360 I would have my ashes scattered in the petite section of 101 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,360 Marks and Spencers. 102 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,360 Anyway, old Clyde, who's up in space in this New Horizons 103 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,360 probe, you can see it there, it's about the size of a grand 104 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,360 piano, it's now in the Kuiper belt, so it's in the outer 105 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,360 ridges of the solar system. 106 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360 It's the furthest any spacecraft has gone. 107 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,360 But basically, to get to the nearest star, it's going to 108 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,360 take 72,000 years. 109 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360 So in space terms, despite the fact that they are all that 110 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360 distance from the Earth, 4 billion miles, it's effectively 111 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360 like we've just pulled the car out of the garage. 112 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,360 Why is interstellar travel unlikely in the 21st century? 113 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,360 What's the reason? 114 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Well, is it because everyone would die before you'd get 115 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,360 anywhere? 116 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,360 Yes, we'd never have the time. 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360 And also our best idea for rockets, which use nuclear 118 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360 fusion, would cause radiation enough to kill any human 119 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,360 being. 120 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,360 The mutations might be quite interesting, though. 121 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,360 What mutations? 122 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,360 Well, if you take Spider-Man as an example. 123 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360 You have a real thing that happened and was pushed up by 124 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,360 the government. 125 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Yes. 126 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,360 That was the effect of radiation. 127 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360 I was once bitten in the left breast by a guinea pig. 128 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,240 I wondered for some time afterwards. 129 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,240 It wasn't a radiated guinea pig. 130 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,240 I'll grant you. 131 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Whether or not I would acquire the powers of a guinea pig. 132 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,240 You'd be somehow reduced in capability. 133 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,699 Hey, girl. 134 00:08:26,699 --> 00:08:28,699 What is the particular guinea pig skill?

I thought it was just so the 254 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:30,500 furniture wouldn't mark the carpet. 255 00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,840 In the 1960s, 256 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,840 one in every 35 films 257 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,840 featured quicksand. 258 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,840 Who was quicksand's agent? 259 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Because he was doing well. 260 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,840 So it comes from Middle English, it means living 261 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,840 sand.

It can. 263 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,840 Quicksand is something you 264 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,840 get off the UK coast, 265 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,840 isn't it? It can be really dangerous. It's not going 266 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,840 to kill you, is the thing. But it does 267 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840 kill you. No. 268 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,840 So, 269 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,840 we're going to love this, Alan, and we wanted to show 270 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,840 how this works. We're going to kill Alan! 271 00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,500 Don't give more to people who didn't applaud. 272 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,500 The British Geological Survey, 273 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,500 very kindly, have done a short film 274 00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,500 about Alan and myself at 275 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:22,500 the beach and seeing what would happen 276 00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,500 if quicksand 277 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:26,500 developed. So here we are at the beach. 278 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:31,610 And you can see the 279 00:14:31,610 --> 00:14:33,610 groundwater swelling up and what happens is 280 00:14:33,610 --> 00:14:35,610 liquefaction. So all of the sand 281 00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:37,610 particles have drifted 282 00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:39,610 apart, making it a really mushy 283 00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:41,610 mixture. Basically what happens is you get 284 00:14:41,610 --> 00:14:43,610 stuck in the quicksand. That's 285 00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:45,610 not what kills you. What kills you 286 00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:47,610 is that you're stuck in the sand. You haven't gone 287 00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:49,610 under, but the tide has come in, you haven't been able 288 00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:51,610 to get away. It's to do with 289 00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:53,610 viscosity and 290 00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:55,610 Newtonian properties. So what 291 00:14:55,610 --> 00:14:57,610 happens is it becomes so 292 00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:59,610 thick that it develops into non 293 00:14:59,610 --> 00:15:01,610 Newtonian liquid. 294 00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:03,610 And that means its thickness can change 295 00:15:03,610 --> 00:15:05,610 as you apply force to it. So 296 00:15:05,610 --> 00:15:07,610 quicksand is exactly like that. 297 00:15:07,610 --> 00:15:09,610 It is true that the more you 298 00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:11,610 struggle, the more difficult it is to get out. 299 00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:13,610 But your body is less dense than 300 00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:15,610 quicksand. You will just float. You're not going to be 301 00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:17,610 sucked under. And frankly, 302 00:15:17,610 --> 00:15:19,610 most quicksand is only a few feet deep. 303 00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:21,610 So you and I might go. 304 00:15:21,610 --> 00:15:23,610 The rest of the panel will be 305 00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:25,610 absolutely fine. So you're just supposed to 306 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:27,610 lie down and sort of panic? The 307 00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:29,610 don't panic is the main thing. I love the 308 00:15:29,610 --> 00:15:31,610 sense of depth because it has so many niche 309 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:33,610 corners in it. There is an online 310 00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:35,610 community of quicksand 311 00:15:35,610 --> 00:15:37,610 enthusiasts. 312 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:39,610 They're called sinkers. 313 00:15:39,610 --> 00:15:41,610 And they enjoy the sensation 314 00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:43,610 of, I suppose it's literally an immersive 315 00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:45,610 experience.

So an octopus 357 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:32,839 underwater, if it wants to 358 00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:34,839 escape, one of the things it can do 359 00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:36,839 is make all the sand particles 360 00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:38,839 drift apart by making a sort of mushy mixture. 361 00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:40,839 So look at it. It's taking in water 362 00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:42,839 and putting it down to the sand and then it just 363 00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:44,839 disappears. That's amazing. 364 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:46,839 So that's your quicksand. It's sandy but it 365 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,839 won't suck you under. 366 00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:53,750 I will not take 367 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:59,019 the baby. It's special rental 368 00:17:59,019 --> 00:18:01,019 when you fool me. 369 00:18:01,019 --> 00:18:03,019 So they may not 370 00:18:03,019 --> 00:18:05,019 have any quicksand but what should you 371 00:18:05,019 --> 00:18:07,019 watch out for when house hunting on 372 00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:09,019 the moon? Foxtons. 373 00:18:09,019 --> 00:18:11,019 Hmm. 374 00:18:11,019 --> 00:18:13,019 What should you look out for? 375 00:18:13,019 --> 00:18:15,019 I mean, I've looked at a few pictures of the moon. 376 00:18:15,019 --> 00:18:18,839 I think you'd want to find 377 00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:20,839 a house. Just one 378 00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:22,839 house. Well, the difficulty... 379 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:24,839 The difficulty about finding 380 00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:26,839 a house is finding a house that would stay 381 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:28,839 standing up. 382 00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:30,839 Oh, yeah. What? Because it's different. 383 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:32,839 The gravity and all that's different 384 00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:34,839 in all that there, isn't it? That's why the astronauts 385 00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:36,839 were all bouncing. 386 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:38,839 It wasn't because of their 387 00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:40,839 shoes. It was because things 388 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:42,839 are different up there. 389 00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:44,839 She said scientifically. Yeah. 390 00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:46,839 I'm not 391 00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:48,839 meant to step on anyone's toes but I am wearing 392 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:50,839 the blue of the science 393 00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:52,839 officers of Star Trek. 394 00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:54,839 There are nerds in the audience who are waiting 395 00:18:54,839 --> 00:18:56,839 for someone to acknowledge that. 396 00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:58,839 OK. Do you know what 397 00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:00,839 Holly is? The red, of course, 398 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,839 die first. Die first. 399 00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:04,839 Go behind a rock, 400 00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:06,839 hear a bang, then you run round 401 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:08,839 and it's just a pair of boots with smoke coming out. 402 00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,839 Yeah. 403 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:12,839 Because there was security and there was really no colour 404 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:14,839 such as a teal uniform. 405 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:16,839 So I don't exist? 406 00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:18,839 Yeah, you're the entertainment branch. 407 00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:22,839 In a bit. Is it windy 408 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:24,839 on the moon? No, so the answer is the same 409 00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:26,839 as earthquakes but there are moon quakes. 410 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:28,839 So the moon does not have tectonic 411 00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:30,839 plates such as we do on Earth. 412 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:32,839 The quakes are caused by the 413 00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:34,839 strain of changes in temperature. 414 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:36,839 Also by meteorites hitting it or by tidal forces 415 00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:38,839 exerted by the Earth. Moon quakes 416 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:40,839 are not just violent, they're really 417 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:42,839 lengthy. So the initial 418 00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:44,839 quake is about ten minutes and then it 419 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:46,839 tails off but it lasts for hours. 420 00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:48,839 And all the time, honestly, the moon is 421 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:50,839 ringing like a bell. It happens about 422 00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:52,839 every month or so and we know this from the 423 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:54,839 seismographs left on the moon by the Apollo 424 00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:56,839 astronauts. In fact, it's disturbed 425 00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,839 the ground on the moon and some of the footprints 426 00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:00,839 left on the moon by the Apollo astronauts may 427 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:02,839 no longer be there. We definitely 428 00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:04,839 know that Neil Armstrong's very first footprint 429 00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,839 is not there anymore. Do we know why it's not 430 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,839 there anymore? Because they never went, did they? 431 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:15,640 It's because he 432 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,640 was wearing stilettos and it just leaves a 433 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,640 tiniest little imprint. No, well, it 434 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,640 is to do with another footprint. Buzz Aldrin 435 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,640 stepped in it. 436 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,640 I always hated that guy. 437 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,640 And then of course the takeoff, 438 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,640 the blast from the lunar module. 439 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,640 We also have obliterated it. What's the best 440 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,640 place to live on the moon? 441 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,640 There's no caves or anything, 442 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,640 are there? It's really interesting that you 443 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,640 mentioned that because the Japanese space probe 444 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,640 Selene recently found a huge 445 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,640 cave on the moon. Oh, is that? 446 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,640 Yes, it is 31 miles long. Is it? 447 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,640 Yep, 100 metres wide. It could contain 448 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,640 a small city. It's 31 449 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,640 miles long and 100 metres wide? 450 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,640 Yep. Is it just one way in, one way out? 451 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,640 I don't think anybody's actually been in 452 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,640 to find out if there's an exit. There might be a bear in there. 453 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,640 Anyway, here is my next question. 454 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,640 What can't I hear you do 455 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,640 in space? 456 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:11,420 That's a very poor fishing 457 00:21:11,420 --> 00:21:13,420 account there.

The thing about 706 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,900 laser beams is you can't see them side on at all, right? 707 00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:45,900 Did you say lesbians or laser beams? 708 00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:57,500 That's correct. 709 00:31:57,500 --> 00:31:59,500 Yeah. 710 00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:01,500 Cannot see lesbians side on. 711 00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:03,500 Let's try that out, right? I'll go here 712 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:05,500 and see how many lesbians you can see on stage. 713 00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:13,599 Cannot see a laser beam. 714 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,599 Laser beams. 715 00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:17,599 Side on. 716 00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:19,599 Cannot see it side on because the 717 00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:21,599 light is so concentrated, it's just going 718 00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,599 in one direction. So in order to see it from the side, 719 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:25,599 some of the light would have to be travelling 720 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:27,599 towards your eye and that happens if it goes 721 00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:29,599 through dust or fog because it scatters 722 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:31,599 some of the light. Supplementary 723 00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:33,599 question, why might I say that Laser 724 00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:35,599 Quest is full of losers? 725 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:37,599 Holly? 726 00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:39,599 Is it 727 00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:41,599 going to be an acronym? It is. It is an 728 00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:43,599 acronym, you're absolutely right. Do you know what the acronym 729 00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:45,599 Laser? Do you know what it stands for? Oh, I have known 730 00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:47,599 in the past but no. The first one's 731 00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:49,599 light. Yeah, light amplification by 732 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:51,599 stimulated emission of radiation is 733 00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:53,599 the thing. However, 734 00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:55,599 some people have noted that the light is 735 00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,599 technically being oscillated 736 00:32:57,599 --> 00:32:59,599 so a more accurate name would be 737 00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:01,599 light oscillation by 738 00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:03,599 stimulated emission radiation. 739 00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:05,599 So strictly speaking, a laser 740 00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:07,599 ought to be a loser. 741 00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:09,599 Loser quest. 742 00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:13,599 And speaking of losing, set your 743 00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:15,599 faces to buzz because it's time to 744 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:17,599 journey into the uncharted quadrant 745 00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:19,599 of space that is general ignorance. Let's 746 00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:21,599 start with an easy one. What 747 00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:23,599 is this? 748 00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:27,420 Yes, Joe. A melon. 749 00:33:32,140 --> 00:33:34,140 Is it the moon or is it the Earth? 750 00:33:34,140 --> 00:33:38,990 You're not far 751 00:33:38,990 --> 00:33:40,990 off, actually. If we pull out, it is 752 00:33:40,990 --> 00:33:42,990 an artist's impression of what is a 753 00:33:42,990 --> 00:33:44,990 moon, moon. 754 00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:46,990 Okay, so this is a wonderful piece of 755 00:33:46,990 --> 00:33:48,990 science. 756 00:33:48,990 --> 00:33:55,759 In 2018, the astronomers 757 00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:57,759 Juna Kohlmeyer and Sean Raymond, they published 758 00:33:57,759 --> 00:33:59,759 research based on one of the children's 759 00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:01,759 questions, Kohlmeyer's children, can a 760 00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:03,759 moon have a moon? 761 00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:05,759 So it's a really interesting 762 00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:07,759 question. So let us imagine that this 763 00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:09,760 is the Earth here and let us 764 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,760 imagine that this is the 765 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,760 moon and it's going round. So the question 766 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,760 was, can the 767 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,760 moon have a moon of 768 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,760 its own? So here you'd have 769 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,760 this going round the moon and the whole 770 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,760 thing going all the way round the Earth 771 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,760 like this. And they worked out it is mathematically 772 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,760 possible. Yeah, I'm going to say yes. Yes, it is mathematically 773 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,760 possible. If it's got enough gravitational 774 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,760 humph. Well, what they worked 775 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,760 out is that the moon, moon, okay, 776 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,760 so the baby moon, the ping pong ball, if you like. 777 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,760 Another word for the moon, moon. I know what you're 778 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,760 saying. I think it's technically 779 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,760 called a tax haven. 780 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,389 This one, 781 00:34:45,389 --> 00:34:47,389 the moon's moon, would have 782 00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,389 to be no more than six miles in 783 00:34:49,389 --> 00:34:51,389 diameter. Any bigger than that, it would get pulled towards 784 00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:53,389 the planet due to gravity and it would be ripped 785 00:34:53,389 --> 00:34:55,389 apart. And the scientists have worked out 786 00:34:55,389 --> 00:34:57,389 that there are moons in our solar system 787 00:34:57,389 --> 00:34:59,389 like Titan, which is a moon of Saturn, 788 00:34:59,389 --> 00:35:01,389 and Callisto, which is a moon of Jupiter, and 789 00:35:01,389 --> 00:35:03,389 they are big enough to host 790 00:35:03,389 --> 00:35:05,389 a moon, moon. 791 00:35:05,389 --> 00:35:07,389 Could you have a moon, moon, moon? 792 00:35:07,389 --> 00:35:09,389 Well, yes. What's the planning 793 00:35:09,389 --> 00:35:11,389 commission on these? I don't know. 794 00:35:11,389 --> 00:35:13,389 They have made another discovery that we, in fact, 795 00:35:13,389 --> 00:35:15,389 have something called the Kordaluski 796 00:35:15,389 --> 00:35:17,389 clouds and Earth has actually 797 00:35:17,389 --> 00:35:19,389 got two extra moon-like 798 00:35:19,389 --> 00:35:21,389 dust clouds that orbit 799 00:35:21,389 --> 00:35:23,389 the planet. They're not solid, but they are 800 00:35:23,389 --> 00:35:25,389 huge. Each one covers an area of space 801 00:35:25,389 --> 00:35:27,389 nine times wider than the Earth. 802 00:35:27,389 --> 00:35:29,389 And they glow very slightly in the light of the sun. 803 00:35:29,389 --> 00:35:31,389 But very faintly, it's very difficult to spot 804 00:35:31,389 --> 00:35:33,389 them against all the light of stars, the 805 00:35:33,389 --> 00:35:35,389 galaxy of the glow of the sky, and so on. 806 00:35:35,389 --> 00:35:37,389 Named after a Polish astronomer called 807 00:35:37,389 --> 00:35:39,389 Kordaluski. This is a very nice new football 808 00:35:39,389 --> 00:35:41,389 do you want to take home? Yeah. 809 00:35:41,389 --> 00:35:43,389 Can I have the hockey ball? 810 00:35:45,389 --> 00:35:47,389 No, the moon, moon, moon. 811 00:35:47,389 --> 00:35:49,389 Moon, moon, moon. 812 00:35:49,389 --> 00:35:53,440 Can I have a present? 813 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,440 There you go, give it to the kids, the one. 814 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,440 Oh, that's really sweet of you. Do you want the robot? 815 00:36:05,170 --> 00:36:07,170 Name this phenomenon. 816 00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:12,690 Northern Lights. 817 00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:14,690 Is it a shooting star? It's not a shooting star. 818 00:36:14,690 --> 00:36:16,690 Can I just say, I've watched this show 819 00:36:16,690 --> 00:36:18,690 loads, and I've always hated that font. 820 00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:35,440 We could try it in another font next time. 821 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,440 If you could, thank you. So, 822 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,440 what is the name of this? 823 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,440 It is not the Northern Lights. It has 824 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,440 a name, and the name is 825 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,440 just an ordinary name. Norman. 826 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,440 Steve. Yes! 827 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,440 No. It is perfect! 828 00:36:49,440 --> 00:37:15,340 In 2017, it appears 829 00:37:15,340 --> 00:37:17,340 for up to a bar of time, it was 830 00:37:17,340 --> 00:37:19,340 Citizens Science Skywatching Group, 831 00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:21,340 and they named it after the 2006 832 00:37:21,340 --> 00:37:23,340 children's film called 833 00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:25,340 Over the Hedge. Do you know this film? Yeah. 834 00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:27,340 Well, the animal characters not knowing 835 00:37:27,340 --> 00:37:29,340 what a hedge is and wanting it to be less 836 00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:31,340 frightened, named it Steve. 837 00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:33,340 So, when they discovered this, and they 838 00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:35,340 didn't know what it was, they decided to 839 00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:37,340 name it Steve. 840 00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:39,340 You can stretch for thousands 841 00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:41,340 of miles in a sort of beautiful purple 842 00:37:41,340 --> 00:37:43,340 band. Now, 843 00:37:43,340 --> 00:37:45,340 NASA have got involved. They have officially 844 00:37:45,340 --> 00:37:47,340 said that Steve stands for 845 00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:49,340 Strong Thermal Emission Velocity 846 00:37:49,340 --> 00:37:51,340 Enhancement. Forget going 847 00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:53,340 out into space and looking back at the Earth. 848 00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:55,340 I just had a very spiritual experience there. 849 00:37:57,340 --> 00:37:59,340 Take the rest of the night off me. Yeah! 850 00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:01,340 How many points do I get for that? 851 00:38:01,340 --> 00:38:03,340 It's looking good. It's looking very good. 852 00:38:03,340 --> 00:38:05,340 Just because he said Steve! 853 00:38:05,340 --> 00:38:07,340 Yeah. 854 00:38:07,340 --> 00:38:09,340 Yeah. You said Norman, which isn't 855 00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:11,340 even an interesting period for churches. 856 00:38:11,340 --> 00:38:16,000 Do you know what I mean? 857 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000 Anyway, Steve! 858 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000 Studies are ongoing. Nobody's quite sure 859 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000 what it is. Now, what's so dangerous 860 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000 about flying through an asteroid 861 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000 field? 862 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,349 Impact with an asteroid? 863 00:38:32,349 --> 00:38:34,349 There isn't a danger. There isn't a danger. 864 00:38:34,349 --> 00:38:36,349 There's no more dangerous than flying through normal space, 865 00:38:36,349 --> 00:38:38,349 so we have to blame science fiction 866 00:38:38,349 --> 00:38:40,349 here. What? 867 00:38:40,349 --> 00:38:42,349 Why? Well, because it was portrayed as being 868 00:38:42,349 --> 00:38:44,349 unbelievably dense and treacherous, full of spinning 869 00:38:44,349 --> 00:38:46,349 rocks and debris. Yes. The truth is 870 00:38:46,349 --> 00:38:48,349 the average distance between 871 00:38:48,349 --> 00:38:50,349 asteroids is about 872 00:38:50,349 --> 00:38:52,349 600,000 miles. 873 00:38:52,349 --> 00:38:54,349 Most of the objects, 874 00:38:54,349 --> 00:38:56,349 when you do come across one, 875 00:38:56,349 --> 00:38:58,349 about the size of a tennis ball. 876 00:38:58,349 --> 00:39:00,349 I don't think that's right. 877 00:39:02,349 --> 00:39:04,349 And again, I know you guys are all sitting 878 00:39:04,349 --> 00:39:06,349 there with your science and stuff like that, 879 00:39:06,349 --> 00:39:08,349 but no. 880 00:39:08,349 --> 00:39:10,349 Were you there when the asteroids 881 00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:12,349 were made holding 882 00:39:12,349 --> 00:39:19,179 God's hand? 883 00:39:19,179 --> 00:39:21,179 12 spacecraft have so far 884 00:39:21,179 --> 00:39:23,179 travelled through our solar system's asteroid 885 00:39:23,179 --> 00:39:25,179 belt. None of them has ever come even close 886 00:39:25,179 --> 00:39:27,179 to the idea. But that should issue right there, Sandy. What? 887 00:39:27,179 --> 00:39:29,179 Our solar system. I'm talking about 888 00:39:29,179 --> 00:39:31,179 the other solar systems that exist. 889 00:39:31,179 --> 00:39:33,179 All the other ones that we don't know about? 890 00:39:33,179 --> 00:39:35,179 That we don't know about. OK.
