This is a reading, and sparse commentary, about the recorded cycle that societies/civilizations oscillate through, as seen in ancient Greece, revolutionary France and perhaps even in today's data-laden America. This periodic trend is marked by governments of tyranny that are overthrown into a free society, which then evolve into being burdened with anarchy and decentralized value systems. The anxiety provoked by such chaos caves to the stability of tyranny so it is welcomed once again under...

The Andromeda galaxy was still just a curiosity; a hazy nebula yet to be explored. Supernovae were still deep mysteries. And the thought that our universe could be more than 100,000 light-years across was unheard of. Let's find out how far our knowledge of space (supernovae and variable stars, in particular tonight), has come in 200 years. "...it...

This has to be the longest unboxing video ever made... Thank you, everyone, who made this possible. All my supporters on patreon, paypal, my gift givers, my viewers, and all of you who show love in the comments. Tonight we unwrap everything from letters, Lord of the Rings, ancient mythology, and history, to Carl Jung, astronomy posters, an ASMRCTICA t-shirt, electronics, incense, candles, and... another REALLY OLD astronomy textbook (1846)! #ASMR #unboxing #books "I never let schooling...

I often browse r/educationalGIFs and have found some great astronomy related ones over the years. Here I've compiled my top 25(-ish) GIFs that illuminate space travel, cosmic phenomena, our solar system, or just fascinating space themed ideas. And thank you patrons for your continued support. There are no hard feelings if you feel it's no longer worth it, but a million thanks as many of you continue to keep giving. It means the world to us. "I never let schooling interfere with my education"...

Tonight we're reading some interesting history on early human exploration across the Pacific Ocean and how that's evolved into our space engineering and testing, and speculation about our astronomical future in the stars. Some main characters are Robert Goddard, Freeman Dyson, and our prehistoric ancestors.   Youtube video version: https://youtu.be/iDDhHNYIgo0

Browsing through a few new astronomy books I found. Talking about the drake equation and SETI, physics, and scales of planet sizes and distances in the solar system.

This is part 2 (out of who knows how many...) of our adventure through this nearly 200 year-old astronomy atlas, "Geography of the Heavens" by Elijah Burritt, an early 19th century black smith-turned-educator. *My even older copy of Burritt's book came in a couple days ago and I couldn't have been more pleased. It's binding almost fell apart, so I was extra careful with handling it. We look in detail at the preface and introductory essay titled "Advantages of the Study of Astronomy."

My introduction stops after 43 seconds if you want to get right to the music.

Arthur C Clarke was a prolific and brilliant sci-fi author. Best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey, he was known to write many short stories as well. This one is a favorite of mine. Thanks for watching.   Get the novel mentioned "Terribilita" here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085B8KWM4   #ASMR #Sciencefiction #arthurcclarke Music: Aphex Twin "blue calx"

Aside from his famous book on the lives and opinions of the greatest philosophers (The Story of Philosophy), the renowned historian, Will Durant, wrote an 11 volume overview of all of human history (The Story of Civilization).   In this episode I use vol. 1 (Our Oriental Heritage) as a jumping off point to consider the biological, cultural, and historical common ground we all share and the power of a unified world-view that embraces forward progress into the unknown.   Thanks for watching....
