The discovery of Infrared light w/Neil DeGrasse Tyson

I thought Hershel discovered Chocolate!

Neil always manages to give me chills

Try ibn elhaythem he was the first to discover it

Man these people were smart 😮

and then Newton became the very first Predator.

Bro popped up again on my shorts and I was about to sleep. Now I can’t.

Amazing

🌟

I didn’t know that’s how it was discovered! 😳🥰

A thermometer absorbs heat and reacts to that change. So, when we talk about "color temperature", it is incorrect to think of it like, "Well Red is 20C but in the same room Blue will only be 16C". Instead, think of it like "The thermometer will reach 20C faster with Red than it will with Blue".

The speed at which the energy is flowing into the thermometer is what gives us "color". That's why some galaxies and fast objects are "red shifted" or "blue shifted". Light with longer wavelengths (more energy) gets separated (think "left behind") from the shorter blue light over great distances as the observed object is moving away.

"Blue shifting" is the opposite--where an approaching object is by its very motion increasing pressure that reduces energy, basically compressing the wave lengths so that they shift toward a bluer hue.

NDT IS SO OBNOXIOUS

This is the sort of thing that makes science so fascinating.

Incredibly interesting!

NDT always make me stop and say "whoa".

your mom is unfit for vision.

Thats actually pretty dope!

Newton gets undue credit for everything. He probably was first to publish in a journal that white light is composed of colors. White light had been around for ever and ever before. And that there was no smart person born before Newton to pass light through a piece of glass and see colors that looked like the rainbow, is a little much. So no Newton was not the first person to understand that white light is composed of different colors. What Herchel discovered was definitely novel. You can safely say that nobody before him would have stuck thermometers in light.

All these scientists just seem like chill dudes with alot of time on their hands.

Newton was Brian May

Is crazy that the mire I see these reels the more I learn every day… Science is fascinating and I truly admire the knowledge of this man.

Sellout and a joke

Roy-G-Biv?

Incredible. ❤

This is so fascinating

Funny thing is all.this came from a simple question about EXISTING colors. Luck and chance allowed the discovery of infrared.

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey ep. 4 "A Sky Full of Ghosts"

So if black is made out of blue and green, should actualy black people not have the ability to give birth to blue and green childs as well ? I have seen all kind of people so far, white, red, yellow, black, brown, but i never have seen any green or blue ones. How is that possible ? I mean since Avatar, e all know blue painted Girls look amazing, right ? But whats about the green ones ??

GOD IS LIGHT which cancels darkness...thank GOD for the light.

Liar...the Israelites did first...stop giving esau too much credit

In physics there is no color. What is that dude talking about?There are just frequencies in electronmagnetic waves...

This wavelength is unfit for vision, as some people's brain is unfit for thinking, and yet it's there.

Roy G Biv, LOL

Sorry Neil, you lost all credibility when you said a transwoman is only 10% faster than a biological woman, and therefore should be allowed to compete in women's sports.

Watching this in 2024, I was so worrying that the monologue ended up in some sort of LGBTQ conclusions 😂

Sometimes the history of science is more interesting than the science!

Newton saw a monotheistic God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation (Wikipedia).Glory to God almighty the creator of all things. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 ) 🌌 🌍

i swear i can listen to this man talk for hours

That was amazing

The history of science is the best

It’s crazy what science is.
And we’ve literally only scratched the surface.

What we call "white light" is invisible energy that the human brain turns into the experience of white. Color only exists as an experience. Invisible energy exists out in the world.

Cool- infrared light, and Uranus. What a champ

As a teen I watched Carl Sagan. Now I am at retirement age and watch Neil. Both know how to make science fascinating for all. 65 years old and I still learn new things every day.

before Netwon, Ibn al Haytam did it

It always starts with "I wonder" and ends with "Eureka!"

Neil absolutely astounding

That's crazy. A German discovered infrared light.

My dumb ass:"wow, turns out light is cooling!"

God damn 🙈
