You can read it here at: www.fortunecity.com Some people feel that science is cold and detached from the beauty in the universe. Mr. Asimov and I disagree. Our appreciation for the beauty of the natural world is deepened by a greater understanding. Many images taken from Hubble or Chandra sites: hubblesite.org chandra.harvard.edu

Supernube. Muy buen procesado.
Saludos.
Science makes it magical!
You already can’t deny the beauty… and you have the privilege, the HONOR, I would say the DUTY and OBLIGATION…. To know as much as you can, to appreciate to the fullest, the magic that is OUR world and universe.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sent this video to someone who tells me that science sucks the ‘magic’ or ‘poetry’ out of life. I was rather shocked to notice that a recent episode of ‘Breaking Bad’ featured this Whitman piece. I know that the producers are trying to appeal to a wide audience, but I found the context in which they used it disturbing. Maybe they were smoking meth’ when they added it? :/
Thank you, Isaac.
You are greatly missed.
The part in the beginning of the text is similar to a passage from a Richard Feynman interview from 1981. The interview is also worth watching: v=ZbFM3rn4ldo, or directly at bbc (search for “the pleasure of finding things out)
man these words are beautiful. thank you very much for making this video.
The universe: my favorite topic in anything.
@Evnyofdeath A(???)Z.I’m eating syrup bakery.
A(?^?)Z.Is this punch really punch?
A(???)Zy~~~7?I don’t want to touch other’s body.
AZ(^O^)7?I want to always touch only Nella’s body.
@az7stars What the hell does that emoticon mean?
Oh right, have god pop into my house and punch me in the face, breaking my nose and cause me to bleed liquid gold. THEN I’ll believe.
What an amazing video and what an amazing world/galaxy/universe we live in.
A(???)Zy~~~7?God is all space.
And only God live forevermore even if people seach endless space and even if all mankind die.
People,what are you watching in this real world now time?

goodbye troll
You’re forgive me if I don’t reply to your next rather predictable post, chuckle
@UneCritique i just find it ridiculous when people copy paste someone else’s opinion and pass it off as their own. How intellectually empty are you?
@playadominical Welcome to the Internet Ctrl c Ctrl v
How much time do you believe I should waste upon trolls ?
“super gay”
like him or you ? Ha, thanks for the laugh highly amusing troll, he-he
But we’re so UGLY if we’re ONLY made of atoms! We’re only TRULY beautiful and our lives are only TRULY meaningful when we’re sprinkled with fairy dust.
@UneCritique nice copy paste job. lucky for you this isn’t a classroom or you’d be tossed out of school for plagiarism. super gay
“To a volume of zero”
More accurately, “to a volume approaching zero,” but I’m splitting hairs.
As a scientist, shouldn’t you be using metric measurements?
“talking through his hat”, haven’t heard that one before. Thanks.
@UneCritique While Googling some of your text, I stumbled across something weird… did you rip this entire discussion off Wikipedia? I found their ‘dark matter:alternative theories’ section, and they present the theories in the same order and terms that you did. They even cite the same scientists you named as their sources, although they didn’t misspell Hossenfelder’s name.
@UneCritique Wow, you admit that half the theories you put forward as viable weren’t, but then have the balls to act like I’m the one with no knowledge on the subject? And if there are so many spin-offs, name one. Also, if you have such a ‘depth’ of knowledge, then you knew your theories were rejected years ago and still put them forward as viable, rather than their spin-offs, so you should apologize for trying to trick me as well.
Gravitational backreaction see spin-off of quantum gravity
“F(R) nor and quantum gravity attempt to replace dark matter”
A spin-off of quantum gravity is multi-dimensional forces from outside the visible universe have gravitational effects meaning that dark matter is not necessary as a explanation,
I can continue but “bullshit” this conversation ends here, thank you for the chat
@Hooya2 “MOND, TeVeS, collapsed in 2006″ this is correct- ish, the collapse wasn’t total and a number of spin-off modified gravity theories appeared, which you would have known, if you had any depth of knowledge in this subject
“Now for your bullshit. Bi-metric theory and gravitational backreaction are attempts to explain the ORIGIN of dark matter”
Bi-metric theory, double metric tensor in space-time, ie feed back loop in gravity, rather than dark matter
you are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels
