How Stars Die
What happens to a star when it can no longer do nuclear fusion? It ends up as a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

    Nothing new--in AD 325 at the 1st Ecumenical Council of the Orthodox Church of the Roman Empire, the Spring Equinox fell on 25 March; during the discussions about the formula for calculating the date of Holy Pascha each year, the Holy Fathers agreed on "the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox" at which point the Pope of Alexandria pointed out that the sun had crossed the equator that year on 21 March, so that phrase was added to the kanon, and ever since that has been the date of the Spring Equinox. No doubt at some point in the future it will have to be revised once again.

    There are no milankovic cycles cause a globe did not exist. Nor a rotation. So far, no one has been able to prove to me the alleged rotation of the earth with simple, irrefutable evidence in the form of a simple video. Requirements: from a height of 3 to 40 km, uncut, without a fisheye lens, taken at any point above the equator. The video should show that the earth is rotating. With 0.000694 rpm = 15 degrees per hour = 1 x per day around itself = = 1666 km/h = 463 m per second = 1.35 times the speed of sound Some goofballs always write to me that the atmosphere is also rotating, which is why we don't feel the rotation. If the atmosphere also rotates than we would have a hurricane from west to east of 14 times wind force 12. Then there would be no monkey or bird in the tree, indeed there would be no trees, no soil, no river, no stream and no lake. Just bare rock. The inhabitants of large cities near the equator, such as Kampala, the capital of Uganda with 4.2 million inhabitants in the greater Kampala area, or Quito, the capital of Ecuador with 2 million inhabitants, should know if the earth is spinning at supersonic speed in their area. But nothing is known. In addition There shouldn't be any airplanes coming from the east at the equator, because they would have a headwind of 1666 km/h. Aircraft flying in a westerly direction would have a tailwind of 1666 km/h. This would mean that passenger jets would than be able to fly up to 2,666 km/h. But neither the one nor the other exists. On the contrary. Flights along/near the equator in an east-west direction take more or less exactly as long as in the opposite direction. Here an example: Singapore to Addis Adeba 9.10 h, from there to Mombasa 2.20 h = 11.30 h Mombasa to Addis Ababa 2.20 h, from Addis Ababa to Singapore 9.40 h = 12 h. This is not much of a difference. If you can't provide a kind of video I described above - I assume that the earth does not rotate and therefore the day/night model and the seasonal model of the globe faction is "dead". The earth is flat and does not rotate.

    Great video. One thing. You forgot to actually explain beta decay. As a neutron is slightly heavier than a proton, and due to quark sharing via the strong force, the weak force does everything it can to flip that neutron back into a proton. This is due to the neutron being slightly heavier than the proton, that causes a gradient in the Higgs field and the universe hates gradients in any form. Also free neutrons cannot exist in nature as they will beta decay back into a proton.

    That's pretty bad. It completely misinterprets certain concepts like orbital mechanics (why would an object spiral into the parent body? That violates energy conversion) Meanwhile the L4 and L5 points are not necessarily stable. This is a major mistake that was made here. L4 and L5 are only stable for the case where one of the bodies is far more massive than the other body, which in the case of the system Earth-Sun is true. This video introduces a lot of misunderstanding.

    Click bait using milankovich cycles. Anyone here that understands milankovich precession could help me out with a dilemma regarding moments of the seasons and the cycle of milankovich assumptions. If you divide the precession into 360 degrees at 180 degrees (around 12900 years ) the earth's inclination axle wobbling will change in opposite direction, the hemisphere that used to near of the sun on summer seasons now is far from and is in winter seasons, and vice versa for the other hemisphere. (Solstice june/December). But where would be at 90 degrees/270 degrees, (6400 years ) should the summer/winter seasons be happening at the equinox months and springs/autumn on Solstice months? If earth wobbling on milankovich precession at quarter of the turn 90 degrees at Solstice positions the inclination 23.5 will be in the same position as actual position now on the equinox. So every 6400 years summer/winter months would change for spring/autumn months and vice versa. Anyone could help me out here and tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you

      My video about precession gets into this: ua-cam.com/video/adzx547ptck/v-deo.htmlsi=jFbUGuD1kQDE0I8g. The issue is whether or not you're calculating the year based on the position of the earth (a sidereal year) or based on the seasons (a tropical year). Since our calendar is based on the tropical year, the timing of the seasons won't change, but the constellations in the sky in a given month will change.

The mistakes made by the industrialists of the world have benefitted mankind greatly. Yes, there is a cost. Every action has effect. If we start carbon footprint madness then we will sink back into a stone age. Man is adaptable. The planet will not die, and it bounces back from whatever insults its taken over the last several million years. Volcanic activity and meteor hits have had deadly impacts on the planet. The planet survives. Short of a nova of our sun, this planet will endure. What bothers me more is environmental pollution and that includes garbage. Spilling poisons into water ways and burying it into the ground will kill eco-systems and people, alike. To me, that is much more important. Without ground water and healthy soil there is no cattle or chickens, or vegetables. We starve.
