0:00 thank you [Music] are you guys familiar with the speed of light Bart take it away [Laughter] what about the speed of light you're the Science Guy take it away I do know that speed of light and the language of science is represented by the letter c so you've never seen equations and that you see it that's to represent the speed of light that's not true um so what we're trying to talk about right now is how the speed of light is the speed at which light travels yeah oh which is crazy letter C yes damn I didn't know light even ████ has wheels sometimes I really hate the show [Laughter]
0:56 there's a law there's a law to our universe that we believe right is a prevailing law that limits how quickly information can travel through empty space aka the speed of light which tops out at 186 000 miles per second yes that's the fastest that's the fastest you can you can go in fact it has been fear well it there they believe that if a human craft was over to go as fast as the speed of lighter while I was approaching the speed of light it would be forced to slow down so as not to break that law almost like it would like turn into like slow motion is that light light won't allow that ████ like not not in our house it's like the back I literally don't know I mean because you just it just said if it tries to it's such a good question it's light police yes I don't know oh got you okay
1:46 yeah I don't know I think the lighter I like the light likes to follow rules because they'll be like if that's what I was told my speed is I'm not going over the speed limit right because light ain't got wheels but it got ears I think a good way to think about it is like so generally in physics they go um like gravity pulls at a rate of like 10 meters 9.8 meters per second or 10 meter 10 meters squared right generally but obviously there's ████ aerodynamics and ████ like that and like the thickness of the air it goes into it but in theory if you drop something from like 50 stories high it'll accelerate up until that point and then it'll just stay that speed it'll never go faster than that because gravity isn't stronger than that it's exactly 9.8 or whatever so speed of light whatever that rate is it'll go it can accelerate up to that
2:37 point but when it once it is the speed of light it'll just stay there it just turns into a big c yes small C little C little little okay big c means ████ that's true that's what that's what our wives are just wondering four times what's the full-time work [Laughter] photons themselves are are unlikely to ever break the speed limit right 186 000 miles a second but there are however features of Light which don't play by the same rules oh they don't physicists in the U.S this has engaged tell me more it's like I'm in a a middle school science video the captain lunch class you know after that like it's really loopy after getting like six dollars an hour and
3:28 lunch to like be like wow to everything I say the six dollars an hour if this was middle comedy Unleashed if this is elementary school after recess I would have sat down like this oh yeah you guys remember that because it's hot as ████ yeah if you're trying to cool down your back the nastiest things I also remember sitting there in my ████ classes and going that was the best dude what's it called it's called something I don't know what it's called but we all did this thing went hella fire oh please don't tie it up um this guy almost triggered too please
4:18 don't tie it this is how we do cool science talks see we're making it more like wait you guys are like more relatable yeah way less science so under certain conditions waves that's a photon waves made up of groups of photons can move faster than light researchers have been playing with the speed limit of light pulses for a while speeding them up and even slowing them to a virtual standstill using methods like cold Atomic gases refractive crystals Optical fibers experiments right but impressively last year researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Labs in California and the University of Rochester New York managed managed to make photons in a wave move faster than the speed of light using hot swarms of charged particles and fine-tuning the speed of light waves within plasma sorry they they did it 30 faster speed light okay which is crazy because it's faster
5:08 than the last known barrier exactly oh that's what it is there's article is just mind our own business yeah you're right why do we have to test ████ we should respect Nature's privacy God's gonna come after us dude I mean the Nerds aren't ████ so what else are they gonna do so do we kill the scientists and then we as a sacrifice to God and say like look see we've got them for questioning you yeah I think we should do that we'll stop having floods and ████ dude it's been raining in L.A in September oh God so much that's weird September yeah I think God is a woman now because God is a vindictive a conniving person and God doesn't forget anything
6:15 [Laughter] uh so that's it right we we we have maybe cracked the speed of light but uh on a subatomic level it's less impressive people only want to put people like you know in baskets in a ship and then that's what would impress people and make them actually watch this ████ on TV but until then we're stuck this is a good start though yeah yeah we're we're trying to learn teleportation yeah well they've actually successfully done that they've teleported beams of light as well but so far again you can't put a guy in a basket and ████ teleport him to like Florida yeah so that's kind of boring but didn't Willy Wonka already come up with the whole ████ beam them into the TV shows a glass elevator that was horizontal elevator right enough no but that no they had the
7:05 chocolate where they made the chocolate and they put it into the into the chocolate out of your TV it's teleporting all right oh the particles yeah you're right yeah we need a blast that guy too in the face of God you know what I mean yeah can't be messing with that sky and it's like that do you guys ever think about how you know there's like a meme about how I was born too early to explore the stars and ████ like that you ever think about.com yeah cause sometimes I'm like oh this generation's so sick I was born too early yeah you know but you won't get to explore the Stars oh right right kids are probably or their grandkids will be Interstellar space doing them ████ around yeah like Guardians I just think girls are way more hotter now way hotter that's true I look at pictures of presidents wives and I'm like oh goes I'm like good on that I'm like everyone was jumping on man though Jackie yo was hot she was the
7:57 only one though you're right but like everybody was fighting for her yeah everybody yeah that's why as soon as JFK died people pounce hey who killed JFK though CIA probably who doesn't think that does anyone not think that I thought that was a mafia I think that because of his bro head because of Jack Ruby yeah because it broke no his brother because his brother got an assassination attempted or did he get he was assassinated yeah and that was that was the mob we know that well I think that you know why the whole prohibition chair right he was trying he's set up they ████ bit the hand that fed him yeah or like not uh they're uh what's not Scotch the ████ Irish Bootleggers they're but yeah moonshine oh ████ they're ████ ripping off Blockbuster videos all right I'm in on this then ████ that they were they were um they
8:49 were running that ████ and they made a ████ ton of money their their dad or grandfather right they made a lot of ████ money so they were friends with the mob and the mob was deep with the unions and then so like they're like all right let's let's link up once they got into office you know he got people with Bobby in the the head of the FBI yeah he was the attorney general and then they said you know what I think there's just too much organized crime and then they went down whatever whatever whatever and I think that's who was like well ████ you guys you ████ turn your ████ backs on us and we got you voted in that's a quote so it could be that it could be CIA I don't know leave the pause too that's one of the theories though Mafia is probably gonna do Joe documentaries what we do we just get a bunch of stock footage and ████ and then we have Joe be like yeah like I think this is like ████ I think this is North Korea and then
9:40 you know how Jake was here the other day so he has sick ass documentary here yeah I should just download what he has take the sound out ████ man and I'll voice over too 25 minutes yes I'll be like man this ████ right here I don't know is maybe I think it's Bobby's uh or or Rachel Kennedy I don't know like one of them one of them and then uh they're just walking down a street and ████ I think somebody tried to kill him um oh yeah on this picture is what Joe gets sidetracked on a minor detail and then he ends up talking about feudal Japan for like the next 18 years so stock footage of Washington DC and like the Kennedys and it just keeps rolling and Joe's just talking about how the samurai like you used to braid their hair in a certain way and they're like you know Tom Cruise is actually based on real story you know everyone's mad about the last time like we're talking about the assassination oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so so about the Kennedys
