g'day didgeridoo smart person my name's dylan i'm a physicist from the land down under
and crikey do i have some news for you so it seems i am not the only one who's been
enjoying the comment sections of these videos so far check out my mates thoughts just here
yeah we're bros now nah but in all seriousness i just about fell off my kangaroo when i found out
when justin roiland's enjoying your comment section you know you're doing something
right although i'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing whatever we're gonna
roll with it so hit me with your best shot down in the comments um justin roiland might even
see them i didn't believe it either at first but 100 confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt
justin roiland is part of the physics club so get on board join the physics club subscribe
um and jbong if you're watching if you ever need any physics consulting
i've got you covered uh or if you ever need a high-powered laser death ray
i can do that too grab a coffee uh grab a vegemite sandwich look grab whatever you want and let's
talk some physics so today we're gonna be watching and reacting to another episode of rick and
morty of course what else so today we're watching episode four and it's called m night shyama aliens
and that's obviously a reference to the director m knight shyamalan who's done films like the
sixth sense unbreakable uh signs so he's done a lot of great films but anyway let's get into it
student i want you to be the teacher today teach us morty interesting what what do you want me to
teach you how do you make concentrated dark matter oh that's a good question concentrated huh no one
actually currently knows what dark matter is so there's not going to be a good answer to this one
but uh dark matter is some really it's a really interesting thing so let me just briefly explain
some stuff about it if you didn't know uh it's meant to make up about 85 of the universe this
dark matter right um and we currently can't see it it's just inferred we can infer that it exists
we see its influence via gravity it has a gravitational influence especially in galaxies a
cool piece of evidence for the existence of this dark matter is actually the orbital velocity of
the outer rims of spiral galaxies so on the edges of spiral galaxies the orbital velocity should
slow down so at the center it's very quick and further out it should be much slower because
there's less gravitational influence right just like with our solar system the outer planets
are actually orbiting much slower than the inner planets but that's not what we find it's actually
pretty constant so that would only work if there was a lot of mass a lot of matter sitting out
there which we currently don't see um so we infer the existence of some kind of matter out there and
that's why we call it dark it doesn't interact with the electromagnetic field we can't see it
with our eyes right or with any of our machines that's where the idea of a dark matter halo comes
from so we think in most galaxies you'll find this rim this halo of dark matter surrounding
the galaxy we have actually found galaxies where we think there is no dark matter
um but yeah it's a very interesting thing we have no idea what this dark matter stuff is
uh we we can only infer its existence by looking at stars and the motions of things
um we can see that there should be more matter there so this dark matter stuff might not even
be real we just might have everything wrong and this dark matter stuff might not even exist but it
probably does there's been many times in the past where we've inferred the existence of a particle
uh and it turns out to be true just like antimatter neutrinos there's countless
examples of this where we looked at the math um or just scientific evidence and
inferred the existence of particles and later on we found them the fuel for accelerated space
travel now do you know how to make it oh come on morty isn't your grandpa like a scientist oh yeah
but you know he told me that i shouldn't go around spouting off about you know his science and stuff
i bet you've seen him make concentrated dark take a break you can do this how did this
happen where's the abductions department hey man abductions just follows the emulators are pretty
cool so how long do you think it'll be until we're roaming around in our virtual reality you
know super simulation let me know down in the comments 10 years 50 years who knows mission
order don't put this on acquisitions we only acquire humans that haven't been simulated well
simulations doesn't simulate anybody that's been abducted so oh i see oh oh it was no one's fault
oh okay i'm sorry well then problem solved oh wait no there's still another human in here who is he
rick's son-in-law jerry smith so far he hasn't noticed he's in a simulation well cap is sector 5
processing keep his settings on auto and we'll deal with him later rick sanchez is the target
gotta relax it's just a pitch gotta relax this is earth radio and now here's human music
human music i like
that's it spencer morty she's an idiot all right all right there what about that morty okay okay
you got me on that one oh really morty are you sure you haven't seen that somewhere in real life
before no no i haven't seen that i mean why would a pop tart want to live inside a toaster rick
i mean that would be like the scariest place for them to live you know what i mean you're
missing the point morty why would he drive a smaller toaster with wheels i mean does
your car look like a smaller version of your house no so why are they doing this
what do they want well that would be obvious to you morty if you've been paying attention
we've got the president of the united states in here we need 10 ccs of concentrated dark matter
stat or you'll die concentrated dark matter they were asking about that in class yeah
it's a special fuel i invented to travel through space faster than anybody else these nigerians
are always trying to scam me out of my secrets but they made a big mistake this time morty
they dragged you into this now they're gonna pay what are we gonna do we're gonna scam the
scammers morty and we're gonna take them for everything they've got you're welcome
hey i just sold my first pitch slow down looking
hello guess who just sold the apples campaign who just sold the apples campaign me i guess
it wasn't a ripoff of gut milk after all guess someone was wrong they have a tendency to make me
really nervous relax it's just a bunch of ones and zeroes out there you're gonna be fine just follow
my lead yo dj drop that feet about the simulation theory what do you guys think are we living in a
simulation let me know down in the comments i think it is very possible that we are um
i like that theory so yeah maybe if they mention it again we can uh talk about it a bit more
morty this crowd looks too small for one of our famous rap concerts
i don't think we can perform our new song the recipe for concentrated dark matter
for a crowd this tiny you got that right frick now that's more like it
what's this what could this possibly be because it looks like you're inside a simulation
inside a simulation you're still on the ship game day bucket go boom sir the uh doc
could you really turn gravity off possibly if you knew how it worked
man up jerry i may need you to work the lasers i like lasers you know laser is an acronym
uh laser light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
hot on our tail rick i guess they really do have
concentrated dark matter but you know how to make it too right rick yeah yeah
yeah uh check the engine room we just need cesium plutonic quarks and bottled water
cesium is an element cesium-133 is actually used to uh measure time so did you know
one second like where do we get one second from what is the measurement what is it
one second based on well it's actually has something to do with this cesium-133 atom
it's 9 billion periods of radiation that's flickering between these hyperfine energy levels
of cesium 133 yes 9 billion that's what one second is it's it's very accurate it's always the same so
yeah now you didn't know that it's important here to realize that we're
not really intending to define time um we're just trying to establish the mechanisms
by which we measure its flow so what i'm trying to say is that we haven't time isn't created by
us it's this inherent thing in the universe so i know a lot of people out there think
that we've invented time um and i think it's pretty clear that that's not the case a lot of
people out there might argue that our brain is just hallucinating time and our reality
and yes whilst it is we have you know seven billion other people who are also uh hallucinating
this time um and this reality and that's what science is right it's a collective ambition
and we all perform experiments and we verify each other's experiments um and it's been done
to death right and so you can sort of safely guess that if everybody is experiencing um you know the
same experiences of time well then it probably is happening in objective reality and whilst yes
you can never really be 100 sure it's not all just in your head and you're
hallucinating this whole thing and you're in this simulation and it's all about you well
you know you got to put your apple somewhere don't you and i'm sure most of you have already heard of
what a cork is it's a fundamental particle so it's what we think protons and neutrons are made up of
we've never actually observed them they're extremely small and they might not even be
the most fundamental thing they could be also made up of smaller things but that's currently
where we're at all right that was quite a tangent let's get back to the episode oh it's all here
rick wow morty lucky break grab that bucket okay two parts platonic quarks one part cesium
all right now empty the water bottle into the bucket and pour it all into the fuel
tank so we can get the hell out of here what are you doing morty there's no time
oh my god rick how dumb are you i'm not gonna do the rest of yourself a simulation
of a simulation inside another giant simulation
we've never had the recipe for concentrated dark matter but we do now we do now sucka you simulated
my grandson's genitalia you you but you diabolical sons of [ __ ] kevin fought real hard to supervise
that problem you said you weren't gonna tell anyone i'm never gonna live this down all right
okay all right great wonderful you win can we go home now i don't know can you nice okay okay show
this gullible turd to a shuttle i'm done with him oh wait let me get a picture oh look at his face
he's trying to figure out if he's in a simulation still are you rick are you you're not or are you
hey jerry don't worry about it so what if the most meaningful day
of your life was a simulation operating at minimum capacity you know what rick
those guys took you for a ride too you should try having a little respect for the dummies
of the universe now that you're one of us uh maybe you're right jerry maybe you're right
all right everybody two parts plutonic quartz one part cesium
and listen i'm sorry for yelling earlier i i i couldn't ask for a better step i
love you guys and i love all your families and the final ingredient
wow what the hell what what happened back there why don't you ask the smartest
people in the universe jerry oh yeah you can't they blew up
