  1. Leaves out the fact that space itself is radioactive (radioactive charged ions). Author likely got his info from old NASA propaganda documents.

  3. Commies? LOL...

    You couldn't be farther from the truth. Research the beginning of the US space program and NASA...Wernher von Braun was no commie.

    This was posted elsewhere on ET, but it is worth having a link to it here

    The most important part of this video to me is when he shows how in the very distant future, scientists that have not been privy to the evolution of the (observable) universe will reach wrong conclusion using verifiable science!! (because much of the universe will have long since gone past their view)

    I am disappointed when he then doesn't take the obvious step and use the same logic to apply to us. What if there are billions of patches of universes that have since detached from our "view", in which we will reach wrong conclusions about the universe? We have this bias that the "Big Bang" must be the beginning of time of THE universe, but what if it is only the beginning of time of the observable universe?

    Of course, the answer should be that we should talk about the laws of physics of the _observable_ universe, not THE universe, for the very reason he gives.

    Soft science video, but still educational imo:
