25:13 - Just fyi and relatively a nitpick. You confused Jupiter's mass relative to Earth with its volume. Jupiter volume is 1300 times Earth's. It mass is 'only" 330 or so times Earth's. Still quite a lot of difference of course versus Neptune's 17 x Earth's mass.

@@rogozov Thank you for the well wishes. I appreciate them. The eye problem *can* be at least partially corected by surgery. The problem with the solution is that I keep having to taking prescription medications for my heart that make the eye surgery impractical at the present time. Just as I was about to wean off that prescription, signs of a new heart problem (relatively mninor but troubling as far as my cardiologist is concerned) is forcing me to stay on that medication until a new stress test is done to see if I need another stent. While that is going on, I can't get the corrective surgery for my eyes (or, more speficially, eyelids - it is called floppy eyelid syndrome and is not technically serious but *is* a real nuisance). I can still read and write much of the time; just nottoo good in the mornings and evenings. It's frustrating, but I know people with worse problems to deal with than this. And as for that saying yeah I've been having to take it to heart with a well-developed if quirky sense of humor (dad jokes even though I'm not a dad) because that's the only healthy way to cope and I've always coped that way anyway. It's a philosophy to live by for sure whether one is religious or not. Otherwise one can go nuts... and I don't see any percentage in *that!* :-)

I don't know if this channel is dogmatically opposed to what's to be learned from Astrology, but I thought that it was interesting to hear you mention the 29 years for Titan's seasons, as it's also about 29 years for Saturn to make it's 'return' from a full orbital cycle relative to earth, referring to the position in degrees° in the zodiacs. it's mostly interesting thinking about Saturn's Archetypes, & additionally Titan's relevance & possible effect with Saturn on an archetypal level of considerable thought
@parallaxnick637

I can't be dogmatically opposed to astrology, because astrology has no dogma. Different astrologers believe different things about what it is and how it works. I have no issue with astrology on its own; it's only when astrologers start to think they can come up with a scientific explanation for its supposed effectiveness that I get grumpy. 29 years is simply the length of a Saturnian year.

Why is it surprising that the Hubble "constant" is actually not constant at all? The only way that would be possible is the steady state model, and then the Hubble constant would be 0. In any other situation, the expansion either has to be slowing down or speeding up, which means that there is no "constant". I think it's more surprising that the two vastly different philosophies of what to measure even get as close as they do.
