5 New Scientific Discoveries in 2024

I always click on his videos thinking it's Vsauce

Last time I showed someone the big ring they got a restraining order.

My favorite recent discovery was evidence for the fusion of elements inside water vacuum bubble collapses. It is absolutely fascinating. It totally rewrites most of what we understand to be about the formation of elements in our galaxy, human history, radiometric dating, and much more. It also opens up modern alchemy as a legitimate science based specialty, lol. All around super cool.

It's better to preserve bees than to invent micro-robots to replace them.

It is when we find something that DISAGREES with current models that we make real scientific progress.

As an individual with a B.S in the sciences (not even close to the biggest brain and am not about to claim so), I always appreciate new information coming out to challenge current hypothesis and theories. I have gotten very tired of scientists, who have been trained far better, coming out and stating hypotheses and theories as “fact”. They are not. These are simply the best answers we have come up with this far, and could be disproven tomorrow. The people who make these statements are standing on the shoulders of giants and acting like they are giants themselves. Not a fan of that behavior.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Big Ring is 9.2 billions light-years away, doesn't that mean we see it now as it was 9.2 billion years ago? You know, speed of light and all that? And if that's the case, shouldn't the Upper Limit be even smaller than 1.2 billion light-years because, as I said, it was 4.x billion light-years in diameter 9.2 billion years ago? Doesn't that make it even more puzzling?

I appreciate scientitsts who say, 'looks like we were wrong about xyz', and quickly adjust so they can enjoy and perpetuate the joy of discovery versus the so called scientits who are really modern day flat earthers who do everything they can to stop facts from seeing the light of day so that they can temporarily maintain false authority. Thank you!

Dolly was the first MAMMAL to be cloned. Someone cloned tadpoles back in the 50s.

"One Ring to rule them all One ring to find them One ring to bring them all And in the Darkness, bind them. "

how do you just stumble on something for the first time, that takes up over 5% over the entire observable universe

Our sandbox has to be BIG ,this way it will take Humanity a very long time to explore it.. 🌌

Number 6 discovery: Simon churns out a new channel every few months

Me, I want tiny robots for pest control. A whole platoon of mechs wandering my house, killing ants and flies.

this is one of my favorite videos of yours!! please talk about more scientific discoveries!

LOL rewatch the intro at 0.5 playback speed. Simon has been drinking all morning.

You go, Alexia Lopez!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I stood up and applauded the water ion battery invention. Yes please!!!!

Simon!! I'm impressed!!!! Unlike americans, who ALWAYS manage to mispronounce place names in Australia, you were able to pronounce "Melbourne," as flawlessly as a local!!! Well done, Simon! I take back 20% of the things I've previously said about your pronunciation...
