What is a Wormhole? With Neil deGrasse Tyson

Perfect timing. Just opened Youtube and thought: „Nothing interesting to watch here”, 5 seconds later this pops up… Life is good!!!

Here after stranger things?

If you could create a wormhole, where would you go?

love how Neil feels like everyone’s fun uncle and chuck feels like everyone’s comical cousin. watching these guys is like sitting at home and having a fun chat with family.

When Chuck gets ahead of Neil is awesome. 🤣 Niel always acts surprised too. 🤣

stranger things season 5 educating me and I'm loving it

Maybe Santa Claus uses wormholes...

I miss the episodes taken in Neil’s office.

Disney does a great job utilizing the (elevator = practical wormhole) equation Neil brought up on the rides at their theme parks. You get in a chamber that brings you from street level to the subterranean infrastructure that houses the ride, but when you step out it feels like you’ve actually traveled to the world in which the ride is set. That tactic was originally pioneered for the Haunted Mansion ride in Disney Land, and it was so successful it’s basically become Imagineers 101 at this point. Recently I was lucky enough to experience the evolution of this concept firsthand at Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World. Both the Millennium Falcon and the Rise of the First Order rides use this tactic to perfection, especially the latter. You get on a ship, are attacked and boarded, taken prisoner, marched to a cell, and then escape, ALL BEFORE THE RIDE EVEN STARTS. In reality, all you actually did was move in queue through a series of elevators and waiting rooms, but the immersion level is off the charts. As far as I was concerned, I stepped into an elevator in Florida and was transported through space time to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

POV: you just watched interstellar again and thought about that moment “but wormholes aren’t a naturally occurring phenomenon” so you had to search up Neil Degrasse Tyson Wormhole on YouTube
