Anyone legit into AstroPhysics?

[EatMyShorts]

I'm not legit into it but - learned the basics of space-time in school, in actual physics class, and now peruse occasional youtube vids at my leisure.

Crazy - some of the shit.
The main channel (which is fucking massive, with millions of hits), is, I think PBS space time.

These dudes explain how, leading physicists, via mathematics, can actually calculate historical and future solar/cosmic patterns - including the onset of the fucking ice age.
They then confirm their calculations via a variety of means, depending on the specific subject but - relative to the ice age - by taking "cores" out of the arctic landscape, and sediment cores, out the ocean.

According to their mathematics and proven science - over the course of tens to hundreds of thousands of years - the earth exists more so in a glacial (covered with fucking ice) state, to a much higher frequency than it is now.

So - the only reason humanity has managed to flourish to the extent it currently has - is cause of some huge outlier in the typical rotation of earth around sun, but also, Jupiter around the sun - which has allowed the temperature to basically remain habitable for us - and thus the time for technology to flourish.

Via our technology - CO2 emissions have risen - and this is highly likely to impact the the degree to which the next glacial phase may effectively - freeze us the fuck over.
In other words - our higher CO2 emissions, are kind of, stopping us from become human popsicles - or should do, over the next 10,000 years.


Does anyone legit follow this shit??

You think Einstein's theory of relativity of "made up bullshit"?

You think made up meta physics that have no bearing on reality or actual engineering is boner inducing?

If you're referring to basic mathematical principles or the derivation of E=mc2 as being "made up metaphysics" and having "no bearing on reality" - then you need to get some Cialis, pronto.

And I AM an actual engineer.

Did you mean to say "scientifically extrapolated, hypothesised and proven theories that describe the laws governing the physical interaction of literally everything in the universe"?

Tell me what it is, I’ll let you know..

The OP is a wordy description of TS' descent into a YouTube vortex about environmental earth climate science than astrophysics.

AP is about matter, energy, space, time, and the forces which act on them. It's pretty interesting.

I think the common public knows very little about space in general let alone astrophysics.

You ask random passerby how many times the Sun is bigger than Earth, the answer you get would be something like: "uh.. i don't know.. 100 times bigger?" When the answer is 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun.

I love physics, I’m just not smart enough to grasp the complexities. But I’m smart enough to know that, and like to read dumbed down physics. I’m big into space time right now, and also multi dimensional theories.

Thanks, I was kind off busting the OP’s balls a bit, I’m know expert but I have followed along and tried to understand what cern has been doing for years....LOL

None of it is real.....

I've wondered if maybe mother nature(or Aliens?) made us this smart and gave us the ability to work with fire specifically for the purpose of warming the planet up from perpetual ice ages. Is there a theory like that somewhere? It is weird that we are the only species on this planet that can make fire right? And our monkey instincts led to us putting all this carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, maybe it was all part of some grand design?

But I think astrophysics has less to do with stuff like that and more to do with stars, they break their light up into a spectrum and get temperature measurements from each of the colors emitted from that spectrum and somehow with that they can calculate their age/distance from Earth? Isn't that what Astrophysics is? I don't know.

 

[Brodels]

I think it's a fascinating topic, I just don't understand it like I would like to. I was watching space videos nonstop for a while but stopped.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

I’m low key into it as I find it very lit like fire drop it like it’s hot.

I also bench teh 350

Einstein himself said he made all that up just to impress some chick.

 

[Losfer Words]

Cosmology is easier to delve into on a laymen level imo. I tried an AP degree for a few years but there was a point when the math became too hard for me.

 

[blaseblah]

Getting into astrophysics is a great way to humble yourself and realize you don't know shit.

 

[rj144]

I might be one of those. Do you want to be taught some Regge calculus?
