Cosmic Queries: Space and Science Part 1 (Full Episode)
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
In our first full-length Cosmic Queries video episode, Bill and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer some of your most intriguing questions about space and science. Could life have started on Mars and ended up on Earth? What is the value of exploring Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and the rest of our Solar System? If the speed of light is constant, why is there a light shift in the Doppler effect? Get schooled by the Science Guy on information theory, the speed of light, and time. Learn about the accuracy of carbon dating, why there is less gravity at the center of the Earth than the surface, and how the Earth's rotation is 1/3 slower now than in prehistoric times. You'll also find out if you can start a fire with sound or build a space elevator from the Earth to the Moon. And of course, with Bill Nye as our guest host, you can count on just a bit of discussion about climate change as well.

I hope you're right Bill, about finding life on Mars changing the world. When I hear Richard Dalkins tell of a geologist who has all the facts and all the evidences at the tip of his fingers at still says the believes in a young Earth because "that's what the Scriptures tell us", I really (pun intended) loose all my faith.

The whole in the middle of the Earth conversation reminded me of a Sci-Fi novel I read as a kid where the Moon had been colonized for hundreds of years and they had a tunnel going from one side to the other. The center of the Moon had been hollowed out in a large sphere for troops to train in microgravity.
Wish I could remember that book. -
There is an epiphany of understanding I've come to recently regarding the red/blue shift of light, and the apparent contradiction that light emitted from an object in the direction of that object's travel does not get a speed boost. I am sure it is not new to those learned in the subject, but I found that as a lay man it made things more intuitive.
Simply put, see urself as the moving object, and the source of light as stationary. If u move towards a stationary object emitting light then the apparent frequency of the light wave will be higher just like street lights go by faster as the speed of ur car increases.
I just wish it had been explained to me like that years ago, I would have had fewer embarrassing arguments, lol -
This was a very pleasant experience.
