hi there thanks for joining us this is
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:03.830
Space Nuts andrew Dunley here great to
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.630
have your company this is a Q&A edition
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.030
which means we don't have to do anything
00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:11.270
because the audience provides all the
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:12.950
content we just have to try and figure
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.509
out what they want to know uh we have a
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.269
follow-up from RK in Sweden about space
00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:21.590
and time apparently we tried to tackle
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.509
this question at the end of last year we
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.470
promised to review it in January it's
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.509
now almost April
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.990
we forgot but uh he sent us a gentle
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.389
reminder so we'll see if we can handle
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.750
that one uh John uh is looking at the
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:40.709
inherent direction of object movement in
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.350
space david has some thoughts on the
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:46.709
Osiris mix Rex mission beloo has a
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.350
hypothetical for you Fred and if we got
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:50.950
anything else we can throw into the mix
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.510
we will do so on this episode of Space
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.189

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:12.789
as he hates it he's back again professor
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.550
Fred Watson astronomer at large hello
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.230
Fred hello Andrew yes I am here well the
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:21.030
bits bits of me are Yeah you know that's
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.030
left i know you love it especially the
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.749
Q&A um it it's always good actually some
00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:29.510
of these questions are incredible today
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.749
so we'll um we'll enjoy those and Heidi
00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:35.030
Campo is with us on on a very steep
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.950
learning curve into a black hole called
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:40.710
Space Nuts and uh welcome Heidi thank
00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:43.190
you so much actually what I just said
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.190
probably does relate to the very first
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.630
question uh which has come from RKN
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.350
Sweden he said this is a very long read
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.870
so sit back relax get comfortable uh in
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:57.109
episode 408 in December I asked a
00:01:57.119 --> 00:01:59.030
question about if space and time can
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.590
switch roles inside the event horizon of
00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:03.749
our black hole in brackets uh more
00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:06.149
specifically does time and space switch
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.550
roles the moment uh you pass the event
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.150
horizon if so does that mean that the um
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:15.750
that space can go in only one direction
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:17.350
uh towards the center of a black hole
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.990
hence the reason why nothing can get out
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.390
does it also mean that time can go in
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.750
any uh direction inside the event
00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:28.229
horizon uh in episode 504 you also
00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:31.589
mentioned that arrows of time might be
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.509
might not be what we previously have
00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:35.509
thought uh you didn't have an answer
00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:37.750
straight out in December's episode and
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:39.869
promised to come back to me mid
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.589
January uh otherwise um you asked me to
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.910
remind you then I guess space and time
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:48.470
got switched for Fred and instead of
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:50.309
replying in January he physically ended
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.910
up in the northern hemisphere not far
00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:54.309
from where I live i almost expected him
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.869
to personally deliver the answer uh that
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.550
would have been nice anyway great show
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.710
and I hope you'll continue until the end
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:05.190
of time or space uh clear skies okay um
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:08.229
Fred you sent me this amazing video
00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:12.710
which was on Reddit explaining spaceime
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:15.750
and I it's it's about 12 minutes i
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:18.070
watched the whole thing and I got off to
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.470
a great start and then my brain just
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:25.670
sort of imploded and melted down um but
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.110
um what I got out of it was that space
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.990
and time operate
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.390
uh in in zero gravity as you would
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.270
expect but as big objects start to
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.630
disturb them things change uh and then
00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:42.789
you get to a black hole and that's where
00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:44.750
everything goes upside down so ARK is
00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:49.070
probably kind of on the money there
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:54.390
um yes yes that that's correct uh the um
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.750
I mean his question was well formulated
00:03:57.760 --> 00:03:59.190
there's never any doubt about that
00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:01.910
because we do know that um the roles of
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:02.910
space and
00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:06.149
time they interchange within the black
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.509
hole the question that RK was asking was
00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:13.270
why why is it so why does this happen
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.430
and I sort of knew the the physics I
00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:22.390
guess in in a handwaving way but uh I
00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.270
looked for something that would explain
00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:27.430
it in as what I thought was as concise a
00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:29.670
way as possible and came across this
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.189
video which you've watched and I'm sorry
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.150
you it lost you halfway through uh but
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.510
keep watching because it is very clear
00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:42.550
as to what's happening yeah uh and I we
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.710
should credit the author of this video
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.710
whose name is Aleandro Rousel uh and um
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.629
you can find it it was the Reddit
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.189
discussion is is where exactly as you
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.990
said where it turned up um RK have a
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.150
look at this uh it's called Why Time and
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.870
Space Flip Inside a Black Hole as Andrew
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:03.189
said it's a 12minute video it is very
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.670
very well done yeah it's on the uh just
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.510
so I can get it through to him quick
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:09.510
before I forget uh it's on the physics
00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:12.550
subreddit so okay
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.830
right okay i'm I'm not a Reddit person
00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.310
so I wasn't aware of that but I did see
00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:19.830
physics there
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.710
um so and and it comes about because of
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.469
this relativistic concept of light cones
00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:30.270
um the fact that uh if you look at a
00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:33.270
fourdimensional space you in order to
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:34.390
get this into your head you've got to
00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:37.029
collapse it to three dimensions so that
00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:39.029
uh the three dimensions of space are
00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:41.350
squashed into a plane and the other
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.990
dimension is time um then um it's part
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.310
and parcel of the way relativity works
00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:50.469
that um there's what's called a light
00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:55.189
cone which is effectively a 45 degree
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.909
angle cone uh which is on the inside of
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.629
the cone are things that you can see
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.070
because their light will reach you as an
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.309
observer on the outside of the cone the
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.309
stuff that you'll never see because it's
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.710
light will never get to you and that's
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.070
the bottom line i'm not really
00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:16.870
explaining this very well um it needs a
00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:19.749
diagram and the video is replete with
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.390
moving diagrams which I think explain it
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:25.710
uh the the bottom line of this is that
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.469
as you approach a black hole you are in
00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:34.790
a regime where the space is highly
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.469
highly curved uh I'm sorry uh there's
00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:40.150
something going on outside my window
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.710
which sounded like a cockatu it's it was
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.670
three cocker passing over a scrap of
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.590
meat and then they were dispersed by
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.070
young Jordy there who decided to come
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:53.270
and join in so um if anything really
00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:54.870
exciting happens I'll turn my laptop
00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:56.950
around and you can watch it live but
00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:01.110
it's not that good at the moment um so
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.629
sorry uh so so that the as you get near
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.550
a black hole you are because of the fact
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.350
that we know space distorts in the
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.990
presence of mass with a black hole that
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.749
distortion is extreme uh the theory of
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.710
relativity uh is what allows us to
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.710
understand the distortion of space but
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.990
the particular case of a very small uh
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.629
singularity in fact a point with zero uh
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.510
dimensions distorting space that was
00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:35.350
analyzed not by Einstein but by his
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.629
colleague Schvat just after Einstein
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.749
published his relativity theory uh and
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.950
that tells you that the space is highly
00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:48.629
curved around a black hole m and what
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.670
that means is your light cur your your
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.350
light cone gets bent basically uh it
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.909
bends towards the black hole and the
00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:01.189
time dimension of the light cone
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.070
actually becomes space effectively
00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:05.830
because it's pointing towards the black
00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:08.390
hole it's it's the the twisting of space
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:11.029
and time that results in that
00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:14.309
interchange between space and time uh I
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.950
haven't explained it well uh that little
00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:20.189
video um Alessandro's video I think is
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.790
is pretty well as good as it gets in
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.950
trying to explain this without immersing
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:28.070
yourself in some horrendous mathematics
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:31.510
yeah the video gives an example of an
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:34.310
astronaut falling into a black hole and
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.110
once you pass the event horizon
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.269
everything turns upside down and you're
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.070
just being sort of drawn to the center
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.630
of the um the black hole space and time
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:49.030
flip basically that That's right it's a
00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:51.110
it's an angle almost an angle thing yeah
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.269
um um Alessandro did resist the
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.550
temptation to depict the astronaut being
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:57.750
spaghettified would have probably not
00:08:57.760 --> 00:08:59.990
been it's almost like uh depicting
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.990
falling into the upside down in the TV
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.310
show Stranger Things
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.110
yeah more or less uh that would Yeah I'
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.710
I've seen that series and I know what
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.030
you're talking about so yes um Fred
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:13.430
probably hasn't
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.070
uh I haven't no
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.790
no he he has much more eclectic taste
00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:21.829
than I have but um uh we often share
00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:24.630
notes on TV shows and movies and um of
00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:27.350
course your podcasts about science
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.870
fiction whether or not it could happen
00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:32.070
in real life uh is is a great listen and
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.790
I've love listen to a couple of episodes
00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.550
and the people you get on there are
00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:38.710
fantastic Heidi and um yeah it's
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.150
interesting how sci-fi has kind of um
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:44.630
worked its way into real life and not
00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:47.030
the other way around sometimes so um
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:49.430
yeah it it's it's a really interesting
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.470
sort of a pseudocience type of thing
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.110
here's a side tangent with that um I was
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.750
interviewing some uh spacuit engineer
00:09:57.760 --> 00:09:59.829
recently and she was telling me an
00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:02.550
interesting factoid that the first model
00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:06.150
spaceuits they painted them silver not
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:08.949
for any benefit to the astronauts but
00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:11.110
because that's what sci-fi depicted
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.590
space suits as
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.269
so they thought well we need to make it
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.509
look like a space suit and so there are
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.670
so many cases where science fiction
00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:23.430
influences the science that we're
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.430
actually doing and that's just one funny
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.590
example yeah that's I didn't know that
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.430
that's an absolute ripper that would
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.430
have made a great radio question back
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.509
when I was on the radio yeah used to
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.230
love doing all that sort of stuff um but
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.590
yeah that that's um what I might do for
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.949
AR is um if I can find his email I'll
00:10:42.959 --> 00:10:44.710
email him the link to the video that
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.949
would be great in fact uh Hugh if he
00:10:46.959 --> 00:10:48.710
hears this part of the podcast might
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.670
want to put that on the show notes so I
00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:54.710
can um that might be a way around it as
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.269
well but Ary thanks for the question
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.829
hopefully adequately answered it we we
00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:05.069
strive for adequacy here on Space
00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:09.910
Nuts and I feel space nuts uh now to an
00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:14.069
audio question here's John this is John
00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:16.670
from Foster and I have a question
00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:21.389
regarding the movement of objects in the
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.910
universe it appears to me that most
00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:26.790
objects in the universe have some form
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:31.389
of rotation or movement either the
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:36.750
rotation of a planet or a moon on its
00:11:36.760 --> 00:11:43.150
axis or the orbit of the moon around its
00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:45.990
planet the orbit of a planet around a
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.470
star and the rotation of galaxies
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.829
now save
00:11:52.839 --> 00:11:56.110
for those circumstances
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.910
where an object is tightly locked due to
00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:03.630
gravity and some
00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:06.310
exceptions for certain reasons which you
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.870
might be able to explain
00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:13.470
my question is is there an
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.509
inherent direction of movement and
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.750
rotation much like the corololis effect
00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:23.910
on weather and water on Earth that
00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:27.910
applies to celestial bodies in other
00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:31.829
words do bodies inherently spin in a
00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:35.430
certain direction do planets inherently
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.829
orbit in a certain direction
00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:41.750
and do galaxies spin in a certain
00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:47.750
direction and if so why and if not why
00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:49.269
not
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.069
thank you okay thank you John um hope
00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:54.790
you're well in Foster heidi Foster is
00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:56.310
one of the most horrible places in the
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.030
world that I would never live horri
00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:01.110
dreadful dreadful no it's beautiful
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.470
absolutely beautiful up there on the
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.750
midn north coast of uh New South Wales
00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:09.590
yeah uh very popular holiday spot um is
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.590
there an inherent direction that objects
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.590
move in space if so why uh and the
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.190
direction I think he's talking about is
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.550
that away that away would be the simple
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:22.230
answer but I think you probably know a
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.389
bit more about it than I do fred if you
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.069
were pointing uh east Andrew I wasn't no
00:13:28.079 --> 00:13:30.629
I am now right that's the way you're
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.509
moving because the Earth's
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.670
rotation and you're doing roughly 1400
00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:38.710
kilometer an hour eastwards so hang on
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.910
and look at my hair it's not even moving
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:44.150
anyway uh look there's there's a number
00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:46.150
of layers to this question it's a great
00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:48.790
question John and um I you've actually
00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:50.150
touched on something that's right at the
00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:52.389
cutting edge of research but the one
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.910
thing that's not really at the cutting
00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:56.870
edge of research is why planets in a
00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:59.670
solar system like ours all do have a
00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:01.829
preferred direction of not just
00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:05.110
revolution around the sun but uh um
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.389
rotation about their axes uh so if you
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.430
sit at the above the north pole of the
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.310
earth and look down at the earth and the
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.870
whole solar system virtually everything
00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:18.189
is rotating
00:14:18.199 --> 00:14:20.949
anticlockwise uh not everything there
00:14:20.959 --> 00:14:22.710
are one or two things that don't fit the
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.750
picture but when you generalize it the
00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:27.310
planets are all moving
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.430
anticlockwise they most of them are
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.670
rotating anticlockwise their moons are
00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:34.389
going around in orbit anticlockwise uh
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.230
the whole thing is you know it's an
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.710
anticlockwise do dominated um
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.790
environment and that's because of the
00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:43.110
way all this stuff has been formed
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.590
because originally it was part of a disc
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.629
of material that was going guess what
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.509
anticlockwise around the baby sun uh the
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.470
sun's formation involved the collapse of
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.670
a cloud of gas and dust the central part
00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:00.790
got hot enough to start nuclear fusion
00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:03.269
reactions uh and the rest of it formed
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.430
into this disc the pro protolanetary
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.069
disc we talked about in the last episode
00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:10.069
and the moons there are moons forming in
00:15:10.079 --> 00:15:11.910
that as well and certainly in the case
00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:13.430
of the solar system everything's going
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.910
anticlockwise so that's to do with the
00:15:15.920 --> 00:15:19.030
way it was way it was formed and it's
00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:22.310
likely that the rotation of galaxies is
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.829
like that too that you might well find
00:15:25.839 --> 00:15:28.710
that a galaxy uh originally collapsed
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.990
from a very much larger cloud of gas
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.150
probably gas cuz these happened earlier
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.750
there would probably not be that much
00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:37.670
dust around at the time although there's
00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:40.710
some there um that gas cloud would have
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.629
an inherent rotation um which probably
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.629
would have come just from a prevalence
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.470
there would have been in a static gas
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.590
cloud there are going to be eddies
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.790
forming and it as this thing collapses
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:55.749
those eddies kind of basically you know
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.670
there's an election and the the most
00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:00.230
common direction of eddying is what ends
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.430
up being the rotation of the gas cloud
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.069
as a whole and so that's why probably
00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:08.550
why galaxies are rotating uh but the
00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:09.829
reason why I think you've put your
00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:11.910
finger on something very new John is
00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:13.990
that um there was a study I read I
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.910
didn't really read it in detail and I've
00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:17.829
yet to go back to it but it was some
00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:19.430
results that came out I think about a
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.069
fortnight ago that suggests that when
00:16:22.079 --> 00:16:23.990
you look at the very distant universe
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.829
there is a prevalent direction of
00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:29.430
rotation of galaxies uh and it's you
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.470
know they're all at different angles but
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.829
uh it looked as though uh from our
00:16:35.839 --> 00:16:38.150
perspective an anticlockwise rotation
00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:39.910
was more prevalent than a clockwise
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:41.509
rotation i think that's right rather
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.110
than the other way around can't remember
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.150
might might have been the other way
00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:46.629
around doesn't matter um the the bottom
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:47.910
line is that there seems to be a
00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:50.230
preferred direction of rotation and that
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.990
flies in the face of what we understand
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.230
about the way galaxies form we think
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.629
there should be no preferred direction
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.710
of rotation and so there may be new
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.189
results coming from that too and I
00:17:01.199 --> 00:17:02.790
should have read it in more detail if
00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:04.870
I'd known John's question was coming uh
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.110
but I will uh have a look at it and see
00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:08.710
if there's anything more to add to that
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.270
story m we we do see
00:17:12.280 --> 00:17:14.870
variations which are circumstantial even
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.270
in our solar system when you got you got
00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:19.829
Venus is it Venus that spins the wrong
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.710
way and yeah and and Uranus is on its
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.710
side and spins the wrong way and all
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.789
that and and there are few moons that go
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.909
the wrong way around because they've
00:17:27.919 --> 00:17:29.909
been captured rather than you know
00:17:29.919 --> 00:17:32.630
formed in situ so there are yes you're
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.390
you're absolutely right there are
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.870
misfits but we can understand the reason
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.590
why they're there the rotation but the
00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:41.350
big picture everything's pretty well
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:44.390
doing the same kind of thing quite so
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.150
and did we figure out why yes we did
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.070
good i was listen I I was always
00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:52.630
listening yeah we It's the rotation of
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.710
the protoplanetary disc Andrew yes
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.789
that's it i knew that i heard you say
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.470
that it just It just went like you know
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.190
straight through went clockwise right
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.190
through your head my head's in my head's
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.950
in vacation mode that's what's going on
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.110
i can tell i can tell yeah yeah um so
00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:14.549
the answer is yes because John
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.950
but but it may be yes because we don't
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:21.990
know as well with big picture stuff so
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.710
thanks John hope all is well in that
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.750
dreadful corner of the world called
00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:29.270
Foster uh this is Space Nuts andrew
00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:31.430
Dunley here with Fred Watson and Heidi
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.029
Campo
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:40.470
3 2 1 space nuts and our next question
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.909
comes from David david's in Indiana uh
00:18:43.919 --> 00:18:46.150
NASA's Osiris Rex mission returned with
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.590
a sample of the asteroid Bennu uh the
00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:51.750
announced testing results just released
00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:54.630
are in are interesting uh or
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.549
interestingly close to our planet's
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.470
makeup it starts me wondering with
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.029
Beno's proximity or Beno's Benu's
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.270
proximity so close to to Earth could it
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:08.470
have been a satellite of ours or
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.470
possibly ejector from a collision with
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.110
another solar object like Thea which
00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:14.390
you've already mentioned greatly enjoy
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.990
the podcast Dave in Westfield Indiana uh
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.350
Dave if you were in Westfield in
00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:20.789
Australia you'd be living in a shopping
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.830
mall but um that's a different story
00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:26.789
there's uh Westfields all over the world
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.870
yeah maybe so
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:34.950
um it's uh probably not uh is the answer
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.830
to that i you know probably didn't form
00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:39.590
as as something that was knocked off the
00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:42.870
earth uh because it's composition yes
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.390
there's a lot of similarities but um I
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.750
think people who know much more about
00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:49.950
asteroid origins than I
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.669
do bye Heidi yeah she dropped out
00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:55.270
something must have happened but yeah I
00:19:55.280 --> 00:20:00.310
think so um uh would would say um the
00:20:00.320 --> 00:20:03.350
evidence seems to be that there was um
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.029
there was a collision but it wasn't
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.630
involving the Earth it was a much larger
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.669
asteroid carbonri probably like Bennu is
00:20:11.679 --> 00:20:16.470
um and that it it was it's probably that
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.789
probably happened you know within the
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.270
last hund uh within the last billion to
00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:24.870
two billion years um and it formed in
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.590
the main asteroid belt and probably that
00:20:27.600 --> 00:20:30.950
collision is what sent it uh to interact
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.830
much more closely with our own planet so
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:35.750
it seems unlikely despite the
00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:37.590
similarities which I agree with you
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:39.830
there are similarities in composition
00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:43.110
but it may well be that that's just you
00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:45.270
know circumstantial and it may might be
00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:46.950
because the earth basically came from
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.110
the asteroid belt or at least it came
00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:51.750
from the same protolanetary cloud yeah
00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:54.470
absolutely um and yet we do see
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.350
variations like uh like fear hit the
00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:00.710
earth and and we've got the moon but
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.710
there's stuff on the moon that you can't
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.950
find easily on Earth and there's more of
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.990
it and you know there are differences
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.669
some of that stuff's more recent though
00:21:09.679 --> 00:21:11.590
that you know it's because of the the
00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:14.070
interaction between the moon and the uh
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:16.950
and the the solar radiation things like
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.110
helium 3 which is much more common on
00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:21.190
the moon than it is on Earth but the but
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.430
the the rocks of the moon are basically
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.029
the same as the rocks of the earth with
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.350
a similar isotopic composition just
00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:31.470
boring old bassalt a lot of it is yeah
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.390
yeah but you find that stuff everywhere
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.310
oh yes yeah um okay so there you are
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:42.230
David probably not is the answer our
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.870
final well sort of question um yeah it's
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.029
a question uh from Belaloo who's uh sent
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.070
questions in before um this is a
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.430
hypothetical for you Freddy you ready
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.630
are you ready Freddy here we go
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.870
lou here again from Fyville North
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:03.590
Carolina would you rather be a scientist
00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:05.990
with nothing left to solve nothing left
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.070
to discover or a scientist and
00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:12.549
everything that you try to invent
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.590
discover figure out is wrong you It's
00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:17.350
just always wrong you never get any
00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:19.830
headway thanks hope to hear y'all's
00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:22.549
answers may the force be with y'all have
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.110
a great Thanks Belaloo um I think most
00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:27.270
scientists are option two aren't they
00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:31.430
yeah well I certainly am yes yeah yeah
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.830
and um to be honest I'd rather be one
00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:36.390
you know if if it I'd rather be that
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.350
than than somebody who solved everything
00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:40.789
because the odds are if you thought
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.950
you'd solved everything you haven't
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.830
because most science actually digs up
00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:48.870
more science it's all about uh you know
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.990
discovery raises always raises more
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.750
questions than it answers uh and so uh
00:22:55.760 --> 00:22:58.549
it looks as though all knowledge is not
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.270
something we will ever achieve uh and
00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:02.750
that there's
00:23:02.760 --> 00:23:06.630
um trying to think uh there is that
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.029
girdle's theorem that uh we can never
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.630
know everything i can't remember the the
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.909
details i think it is I think it's
00:23:11.919 --> 00:23:14.310
Girdle's theorem theorem that whatever
00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:16.070
we discover there'll be something else
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:18.669
left to discover it's a mathematical
00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:23.510
hypothesis um so yes we we may well uh
00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:25.990
never know the answer to everything uh
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:27.430
and that's good because it means
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:29.990
scientists will always have a job yeah
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.710
girdle's incompleteness theorems two
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.830
theorems of mathematical logic that are
00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:38.590
concerned with the limits of um
00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:43.990
probability in formal axiomatic theories
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.909
yep that's that's right yeah just as you
00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:51.190
said um it says there widely but not
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.510
universally interpreted as showing that
00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:56.470
uh Hilbert's program to find a complete
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:58.590
and consistent set of axioms for all
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:00.710
mathematical all mathematics is
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:02.390
impossible
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.590
there you go yeah um that that's another
00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:07.950
one that makes your head hurt but like
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.149
look when you get down to the bottom
00:24:10.159 --> 00:24:12.710
line it makes sense that we could never
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.630
solve everything and once you solve
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.510
something it's it's like astronomy um
00:24:17.520 --> 00:24:20.070
once you've found something that answers
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:24.149
a question you you find yourself with
00:24:24.159 --> 00:24:25.870
another array of
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.350
questions um it just it's just ongoing
00:24:29.360 --> 00:24:32.070
and and look what would humans be
00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:34.630
without the need to discover if
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.430
everything was solved we'd get bored
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.350
real quick i think we would yes I think
00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:43.350
we would you're right yeah it wouldn't
00:24:43.360 --> 00:24:46.470
be fun anymore uh and mysteries are good
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.950
to have because it just keeps you
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.590
motivated to try and solve problems and
00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.950
yeah we we don't want to solve
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:56.390
everything well I suppose we do but
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:57.549
that's what drives
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:01.350
us I would suggest um have you got time
00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:03.750
for one more without notice Fred yeah
00:25:03.760 --> 00:25:06.269
yeah yeah let's do it uh this one comes
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:09.830
from Robert hello Fred Andrew this is
00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:12.390
Robert from the Nethers i have a
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.870
question for the professor about the
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:16.430
discover your
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:18.950
exoplanets because I'm not sure if the
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.789
same configuration is our own solar
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.430
system and what for inner rocky planets
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.630
and for our gas giants if that
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.430
configuration is unique or not as you
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.269
know there's been a lot of discoveries
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.070
of these planetary systems not to insane
00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:37.269
details the solar system of course I was
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.510
just curious if we are very unique or
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:43.190
Not
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.269
thank you so much for taking time
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.310
bye-bye thank you Robert um this is a
00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:50.870
question we've um had previously but
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.630
it's it's good one to revisit i think we
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.669
did talk about it fairly recently but um
00:25:55.679 --> 00:25:57.990
uh is our solar system the way it's set
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.789
up rocky rocky rocky gas gas gas gas um
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:06.310
unique and the answer is mostly yes
00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:09.110
isn't it well it's it's unique in the
00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:12.470
sense that um so far yes so far that's
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:18.070
right uh and it it it is unlike um it's
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:20.590
unlike most of the other things that we
00:26:20.600 --> 00:26:23.510
find but some of that might be due to
00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:26.230
the fact that we've got what we call
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.310
selection effects you know that you
00:26:28.320 --> 00:26:31.070
can't um really
00:26:31.080 --> 00:26:34.390
see everything when we look out at the
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.789
exoplanet so there may well be systems
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.950
where there are planets you know four
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.190
rocky planets at the sort of distance
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.230
that ours has which are actually really
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.110
hard to discover they're the really that
00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:48.470
they're the ones that are the most
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.470
difficult to discover so the the easiest
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:51.909
things to discover are massive things
00:26:51.919 --> 00:26:54.470
like Jupiter or bigger than Jupiter uh
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.269
we are pushing down the mass spectrum
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.470
towards the
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.710
more you know the smaller bodies of uh
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.549
equivalent to the the rocky planets in
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.870
our solar system but it's still
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.350
nevertheless
00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:11.510
um ours is a very special case because
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:14.950
we could see it in detail uh and we
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.430
haven't really seen anything like it but
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.110
it doesn't necessarily mean that there
00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:21.269
isn't anything out there that's like it
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.230
so it may not be unique we might just be
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.470
unique in in as much as what's been
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.950
discovered so far yeah that that makes
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.510
sense and given how many systems exist
00:27:31.520 --> 00:27:33.750
out there I'd be very surprised if we
00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:37.350
don't find multiple solar systems like
00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:40.830
ours in time to come so
00:27:40.840 --> 00:27:43.669
uh at the moment Robert it looks that
00:27:43.679 --> 00:27:46.870
way but ultimately probably not I think
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.350
would be the short answer uh thanks
00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:52.310
Robert thanks Beloo David John Aki uh
00:27:52.320 --> 00:27:54.630

to do a a full-on proper Panama Canal
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.430
tour cuz I I want to understand it more
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.510
i I've heard so much about it through my
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:16.470
entire life and um yeah I think I think
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:17.909
it's going to be really interesting to
00:29:17.919 --> 00:29:22.230
to just understand it more and find out
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.470
uh all everything about it but yeah
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.590
