Learning that Saturn is just a big round cloud was one of the most heart braking discoveries of my child hood. Far worst than Santa. It still hurts.

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact Saturn has no solid surface. It's beyond amazing that basically what we know as gases somehow formed into a jumbled ball of chaos. Really mind blowing.

As an infant I crawled through the rings of Saturn and fell through the planet, and I survive. I even lived on Titan for 6 months.

God I love Titan. It’s like one big ball of chemical soup.

(Literally — Titan has the same chemicals that were found in Earth’s chemical soup long ago. That’s why scientists consider Titan to be the most likely candidate for extraterrestrial life in our solar system, aside from Jupiter’s moon Europa)

From my understanding, the ice giants, Neptune and Uranus, might actually have something closer to a solid surface, since the pressure wouldn’t be great enough to form metallic hydrogen. 🤔The pressure and heat would obviously make landing impossibly though, would be pitch dark too.

Haven’t been watching your vids in a minute but they’re still very enjoyable. I’d love to ask, what if human society was 1, 000 years more advanced today? How different would our world function be? Our views? Daily life?

What if Earth had a ring around the planet. You could see perfectly in the daytime with no clouds. Nothing at night. Would you love the view.

What if humans evolved during the Mesozoic Era? How different and advanced would our civilization be?

Hey, What If. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your channel and the content you create. You've been a huge inspiration to me, and I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to start my own YouTube channel. I'm creating similar content to yours, exploring hypothetical scenarios and scientific concepts, and I'm excited to share my own perspectives and ideas with the world. Thank you so much again for all that you do, and I hope you have a great day!

Would love a video on a planetary shield a little like the orbitals from altered carbon

Turns out walking on Saturn is not a stroll in the park.

The same reason you can't walk on Jupiter Uranus or Neptune 🤣🤣

Hi I'm a big fan so apparently could you make a video about
What if Earth and Mars changed orbit?
