You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Hubblecast 27: What has Hubble taught us about the planets?. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Hehe... thx man. Gotta love teh hubble!

Upvote for "Satan's penis." With such a massive tool, no wonder bad boys are popular with the ladies.

The hubble space telescope is Satan's penis, used by atheist scientist to spread their so-called science. If god wanted us to put things in space, he would have created ladder-trees that reached that high so we could climb up there and look with intelligently designed space-seeing-eyes.

Utter rubbish!! Heresy too!

heya... yeah I'll switch it over to the HD version tonight.

Hey brother, thanks for posting the Hubblecast 22 video. I always like them. If you want the HD version you can grab it from Dailymotion here:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7eg87_hubblecast-22-hubble-directly-obser_tech

However, if you plan on using the Dailymotion embed I wouldn't change it just yet. We all know that thumbnails sell, and the YouTube thumbnail you have right now is pretty awesome. But if it ends up mving into the Top 15 then changing it might actually help, provided you add "(HD)" to the title. Might. It's worked for me sometimes, but not all the time, so it's your call.

Or you can replace the embed in a couple of days regardless, after viewership has waned.

And if you don't want to use it all, well that's okay too. I know that my heart will go on.

Very neat. These Hubblecasts are getting better.

yummy. the bigger the picture, the more we appreciate the high definition.

oh, and ^Constitutional_Patriot:
> This is really great stuff but Dr. J here is a bad teleprompter reader.. he sounds so... lame.
kinda, but i also appreciate hearing it from those in the trenches, and not a talking head. and i could deal with his narration, if he wasn't in front of the pretty pictures quite so often.
but hey. his skyhook is still the bomb.

> A hot nerdy chic would be awesome to deliver these great messages.
assuming no female sifters are interested in the job, i nominate her.

>> ^jwray:
There is no fine line between globular clusters and dwarf galaxies; the distinction is an anthropogenic arbitrary division of a continuum.


Yes. I take your point, but I dislike the use of the term "arbitrary". I would say the "fine line" is an attempt at differentiating on stable functional/behavioral aspects, and then using those differentiating aspects to classify the phenomenon(s).

So true ... we should take their children away and give them to normal glasses wearing americans.

>> ^southblvd:
What is with Europeans and those strange eyeglass frames?

apparently nature makes black holes in all sizes, not just small and large. some varying amounts of ass gravy must be used in accordance. the style of blankfist, however, requires none. congrats on defying nature, and making a diamond sans carbon!

>> ^shadownc:
Am I the only one who thinks the narrator sounds like Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation fame?


I agree, he sounds very similar to Yahtzee.

...

What can I say? I mean, you yourself have just denounced logic. That makes argument impossible by definition. Feel free to believe whatever you want, just do your best to not indoctrinate your children, or like, shape public policy that affects the real world, which actually does function on logic.

I guess my only question is this: why God and not Allah? Why not Zeus or Thor? With so many Gods to choose from, are you CERTAIN that yours is correct? How certain are you? Certain enough to try and spread your view of God to others? Certain enough to teach it to innocent children?

Anyway, sorry if I seem combatative, I really don't have any beef with you, and I know some very nice people with deep religious convictions. I don't happen to share these convictions, and that's fine. That's called living in an open society. Far be it from me to try and deny your belief that your neighbor is from another planet, or that your imaginary friend created the universe and loves you very much. But if you want to convince me that these things are true, an ancient book of tribal mythos won't help you. Especially not the bible, which has some very VERY nasty anecdotes in it indeed.

I believe that God is perfect. Perfect. Humor me for a second and imagine a Perfect God. In six days (or in other words six periods of time), couldn't He have created (or "organized" if you translate it literally) binary stars, black holes, and Hawking radiation. Couldn't he have programmed the world to develop and "evolve" however he wanted it to, over millennia. Couldn't God have caused the "Big Bang."

My faith is not disproved by science, nor can it be. My faith is not based on logic, nor can it be. I believe in God because I have seen His hand in my life and have felt His spirit in my heart. No amount of Astronomy will ever change that. On the contrary, the more I learn of stars, planets, comets, and galaxies, the stronger my faith becomes. I realize more and more everyday how small and insignificant I am without my Faith in God, the Father, and in His son, Jesus Christ. Without Them, I am nothing.

Does it involve a set of forces that explains the behavior of matter that is consistent on scales from 10 to ten to the power of 40?

Does it cover binary stars, black holes, and hawking radiation?

Does it say anything about neutron stars? I'd be interested in reading an ancient text that can tell us about objects in the universe that are SO dense, that a tablespoon of them weighs as much as the entire himalayas.

My point is, the universe is WAY more amazing than any mythos that has been dreamt up by man. We're just not configured to be able to imagine this stuff. Why would we be? A study of evolutionary psychology reveals much about why we are the way we are. Being able to intuitively grasp the dynamics of relativity is NOT adaptive for ancient man. We needed to develop math to figure out this shit.

So, tell me about your text. Does it have mind-bending philosophy? Does it want us to spend our lives looking at our navels? Count me out of those, please.

Holy fucking shit. Modern cosmology is totally the religion killer. OK, virgin birth, yadda-yadda what ever. You think YOU'VE got miracles? Your ancient texts don't have SHIT on modern science, yo.

ooooh! didnt know there was such a thing as Hubblecast. Awesomely geeky.
