But on the other side is another copy of you that did get teleported. That person, although they are you in every way imaginable, does not share a consciousness with you. Therefore, you are two different people. So each time you teleport, “you” die and a new “you” is created.

The old you will not realize it no longer exists, because you no longer are conscious. But everything you learned/done/experienced keeps its value in the form of the new you. So you dont "lose" your life, it merely gets transported :)

My favorite visualization of the expanding universe was in a PBS or BBC or similar science video about the universe. In it, they show a room full of chairs (like a classroom), and the chairs are all moving away from each other at the same relative rate in every direction (X and Y). The chairs don't expand, but the space between the chairs does; also, no matter which chair you sit in, all other chairs are expanding away from you. Unfortunately, I get missed the final conclusion, that eventually the expanding universe will cause some chairs to become invisible to you at your vantage point.

Your assomption only works if you build a fusion reactor from a recipe book hoping to get more energy back. But fusion reactor cannot be written like a theoretical plan. It's not something you can do in normal conditions of pressure and temperature. It's so technologically advanced and technically expansive it's comparing a kid building a sand castle on the beach and a lot of financiers/engineers/technicians/workers planning then building the Burj Khalifa ; the kid on the beach is your typical fireplace ; the suburban house is your wood/coal/oil domestic furnace ; appartement blocks are electric plants ; the nonsensical skyscraper is the fusion reactor. Nobody thought it was even possible to build skyscrapers this tall not so long ago because of structural tensions, materials, huge mass, heavy wind, etc. The Burj Khalifa is 150m (500 ft) higher than the second highest skyscraper. So, in a sense, if you can invest billions, you can have in a decade your fusion reactor. Not very efficient maybe, but pretty secure. The only danger of this installation is the same as your oil electric plant but with billions in the line if something goes wrong instead of millions.

Unfortunately Dr. Tyson has missed the point of a very important question about redshifting. If we see redshifting appearing to be faster in the past (yes, farther away, but in the PAST), and then the closer to our present we observe an object we get a redshift that is slower, then how can you predict that the red shift will change trajectory and speed up in the future? It is on a slowdown trajectory when observed from past to present. My answer, it may be, just maybe, that the quicker redshifting seen in objects farther back in time may be caused by the entire universe's gravity having more time to stretch the light as it travels toward our current space and time, which is why light from closer objects appear less stretched, less redshift, because the light has not traveled as long and the universe's gravity has had less time to stretch the wavelength. In this scenario, redshifting is an optical illusion, and not actually a physical expansion of space. It is caused by the pull of all the universe's gravity on traveling light over a long period of time that becomes less noticeable the closer an object is to our time and space here at Earth. Possibly not noticeable for anything closer than 2.5 million light years, which would be why Andromeda appears as blue shifting.

I cannot fkn belive that I thought about the wormhole transporter thing many years ago! 🤯🤯🤯I always felt that the showrunners on one of the Trek series' should have re-explained how the transporter works and use the wormhole idea. I had hoped that Discovery would have done that, especially since they had the instant transporters that moved objects across space almost within the blink of an eye.

Finite particles, governed by the recursive form of Euler's Identity, do indeed contain critical points that correspond to the three types of infinities. Absolutely correct.

The process of nuclear fusion is fundamental not only for the energy production in stars but also for the synthesis of heavier elements in the universe. Understanding fusion helps us unravel the conditions that prevailed in the early universe, particularly during the first few moments after the Big Bang, when temperatures and densities were incredibly high. How did the conditions of the early universe facilitate the onset of nuclear fusion, and what implications did this have for the formation of the first stars and galaxies?

The pure fact how chuck plays down the diversity of his full intellect is brilliant in my opinion

What a cosmic duo. Man we all need this goodness and we all thank you. Just tried to teach my kids about tiny, little silicates... fail. Rad. Gratitude.

I once had an argument with a gentleman over how time is measured and I told him its about perception. We divide things as best we can, and if I wanted, if I knew exactly how long this man lived, I could divide all time into units of him. He refused to think that way... until I said "Dont we use the phrase 'in our lifetime' all the time?"

Re the expansion slowing down, I don't think Neil answered that question satisfactorily to me. He's saying that since we know things farther away move faster, as things currently close to us get farther away, they will accelerate, because we know things farther away are going faster. But do we know that things automatically go faster just because they're farther away? I don't think we can assume that. If we imagine a universe where everything expanded at some speed of 10 in the first billion years, then in the 2nd billion years it all expanded at 9; then 3rd billion 8. If we were were in that 3rd billion, the things within a billion lightyears would be going at 8, but things at 3 billion lightyears away would still appear to be moving at 10. So EVERYTHING is now actually only expanding at 8, but it only appears like things farther away are going faster because it took so long for the light to get to us. How is this not a a possibility?

1. If I may, I'd like to disagree with Dr. Tyson when he said that Zeno's Paradox isn't a thing in the real world. May I present Exhibit A: *Radioactive Decay,* which is pretty much the very real-world definition of Zeno's Paradox. 2. Chuck's characterization of an infinite series adding up to a finite number as the *"Finite Containing the Infinite"* is just sheer brilliance. Well done, Lord Nice. 3. I had NO idea Dr. Tyson had a cameo on "Velma". Good to know. I need to catch up on that show. This is one of your best episodes yet. My face hurts from smiling throughout the whole thing.

If I recall correctly, in the interview with the General, Chuck requested that people call him Lord Nice because he wanted a title and later in the episode, the General did so and hilarity ensued because it seemed like she was the only one that remembered it.

Regarding the forward lateral pass. This is very well known in the national rugby league as you can’t pass the ball forward but the rules are written to say that the ball must leave the players hand in a backwards direction. It doesn’t matter if the ball then goes five metres forward because it continues with the players forward momentum.

The transporter would be like the movie The Prestige. The original person would die and the reassembled person would be exactly the same but a clone and not the original.

This got me looking into the Planck units properly, and now I have kind of gained an overall understanding of why we're where we're at with theoretical physics. That's kind of huge. I wish science communicators would bring this up a bit more, because it gets glossed over a lot as just "the smallest meaningful unit" or the "pixels of the universe" without explaining that it's where GR and QM both break down in their own ways in respect to each other. Understanding this is the gate to understanding so much more of modern physics, and I feel like it's not touched on enough
