Astrophysicist Answers Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

The best thing social media has done, or the internet in general, is giving people the opportunity to ask silly yet important questions - a feature that wasn't offered in school.

He's the kind of guy who if he was a teacher, you'd never skip class but would instantly fail you if your essay had the Sun spelled with a lowercase letter.

"When will the universe end ?" "Not soon enough." I love this guy. MORE PLEASE.

I really like when people like him explains things that required a lot of math, physics and really brilliant minds so simple and understandable.

"Do galaxies spin clockwise or counterclockwise?" "Yes" Okay I like this guy.

This guy's excitement is so contagious. 90% of what he said went over my head but i was right there with him the whole time.... emotionally speaking

I could hear him talk for hours and wouldn’t get bored. Such amazing talker about an amazing and complex topic. Bring him back, I need more answers!

Relatively and time ticking at different speeds is probably one of the most mind bending things in science.

People might think he's trolling with the "Yes." response to the clockwise or counter clockwise, but he's dead serious. It just depends what side of the galaxy you consider to be the top lol. In space, this is not a question with one answer.

I want to see this guy more often. I want more astrophysics support.

He has so carefully crafted those answers, I loved them. They are concise enough to be a twitter reply, whole encompassing and he stop at the right amount of information so whoever is interested in the topic, gets hooked up and goes to search for more about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. This man is passionate, knowledgeable and justifiably captivating. Please have him back.

If this guy were my professer, I would never miss my lecture I really loved this video

Current physics master's student here. 99% of the time that I was listening to the astro-pal I was having fun, enjoying how a far better teacher than me explains concepts I already know. But then the binary systems stuff hit me. Thinking that Jupiter was close to be a star. Like very close. And we treated him like a fluffy-oversized version of a planet for 4000 years. If only he was 20 times bigger... We would not be here! 20 jupiter masses, compeared to the sun, is like a glass of water compeared to a swimming pool!! A very insignificant mass dislocation, for a borning star. I won't sleep this night, thinking about this.

1:43 yes what . Clockwise or counterclockwise????😔……………”yes

Not gonna lie. Some of these answers brought up more questions. I hope they do another one. This was fun.

Astronomers are one of the happiest careers in the United States. As it turns out, astronomers rate their career happiness 4.0 out of 5 stars which puts them in the top 11% of careers.🥰🥰🥰

Mr. Sutter has a great combination of passion and knowledge when he speaks about this topic, which allows us to better understand and appreciate the information. Thank you

this format is my favorite, full of information and so soul satisfying. Thank you wired.

Twitter: "when will the universe end?" Astrophysicist: "not soon enough!" 😥🤨 What does he know that i don't...
