Is this guy /sci/ approved?

No. It's unsubstantiated garbage.

Its essentially a science fiction channel and references scifi more than actual science.

Its a great channel

It exists for fun
The perpetually asshurt babies on /sci/ despise him for that

He does fun thought experiments and brings sci fi ideas to logical conclusions. Virtually nothing he says is based in actual science

and I love him for it.

>> No.11061508

I like some of his content, but his voice makes it hard for me to watch. Half the time I'm struggling to understand him rather than listening to what he has to say.

Retarded asshole always favoring right wing views.

"ohh ohh, a future society could exist, politics doesnt matter we could all get along wtih technoloogy" fucking technofacists

also he reaaallly likes to mention he was in the army, altough he was probably safe behind a trench while being bullied for beign a fat fuck and he thinks he knows everything, nothing more than a scam artist really

Am i the only one who thinks the concept of a Dyson sphere is retarded?

What if aliens want other plants to have access to sunlight?

Why does it have to be some autistic 100% energy collection policy they hold?

I think the argument goes that energy required to power civilization grows exponentially with respect to population. So, as the civilization will (presumably inevitably) grow, it would need an ever increasing amount of energy. It'll (again, presumably) eventually reach a point to where gathering a large portion of sunlight would not only be viable technologically but necessary. Eventually near 100% of their star would be "covered" by very low orbiting satellites

Plants dont need direct access to sunlight when you can provide them all sunlight theyll ever need with led lights.

One Dyson sphere would power thousands or millions of solar systems of an intergalactic empire because of how absurd the energy output of a star is. of course that comes along with another problem of transporting the energy to those star systems

Engineering stuff. Like his Arcology video and his space habitat/artificial planet videos. His is a professional engineer after all.

He keeps talking about his speech impediment; which condition does he have? what makes your voice sound like that? i actually quite like it

>> No.11065398

I think what makes his pronunciation hard to understand has more to do with how he pronounces certain vowels around r rather than the inability to pronounce the consonant r. He pronounces er/ir/ur etc. like "or" - he drops the r like in many accents like most British ones, but more confusingly the vowel also becomes the same as in "or". Hence Formi pawadox, Orth, vortual weality etc.

It gets tiring hearing him handwave impossible feats of engineering and the same goes for him reiterating the dogma that is the existence of liquid water = assured and spontaneous alien life.
