Auto news on Youtube May 9 2018

hey guys opening strong on the video today I'm hanging out in my backyard

it's a beautiful day my neighbors were probably like what is this guy yelling

about let's talk all right so I'm gonna open up this video by asking myself

three questions I think at least one of them might resonate with you go ahead

and jump in number one do I feel like I want to create change and develop new

direction in my life but I always end up falling short at the first sign of

resistance and the fear of change okay number two am I constantly trying to

introduce new positive habits in my life and let go of all negative useless

habits yet I always feel like I'm falling back to square one okay number

three do I feel like I'm constantly just trying to get to the next future moment

thinking that that's where success lies without ever really knowing what that

success looks like to me just gonna keep looking up here hoping I find the answer

but the answer is yes to all three of those and the reason I'm asking myself

those questions is I find a lot of value in taking the time out of our schedules

out of our busy lives to question ourselves question who we are where our

lives are at in what direction our lives are pointing toward and in taking some

time to reflect with our inner self on our current life status

I think we can find some answers that are lying beneath the surface and find

some direction and impulses that can actually help us act and create change

in their lives I really believe that so I've never really taken the time ever to

ask myself questions generally if I had free time I would fill it up watching

Netflix the office in particular or reading fiction or scrolling through

Reddit or Facebook or anything really designed to just take up my attention

right something like external and lately I've been replacing some of that time

not all of it because there's nothing wrong with doing those things at all but

lately I've been trying to take about 20 minutes every day or if I'm busy that

week you know once or twice a week and really take some time to just turn off

my phone turn off the TV and ask myself some difficult questions and what it's

done is it's actually given me the time and the creativity to like really

brainstorm like new plans for changing my life and new plans for catapulting my

life in the direction I want to go in and so I find a lot of value in creating

a little bit of time very frequently to just question ourselves and ask

ourselves you know am i living the life I really envisioned it was my life

heading in the direction I want it to go and if it is how can I sustain that if

it's not what changes can I make right so for this video I wanted to go through

a couple questions that I think are very valuable and I'm gonna actually post

them in the comments below so I have my notebook and I already can't read my

writing but I'm gonna go ahead and jump right in question number one and I'm

gonna ask the question as if I'm asking you the question

what was your inner dialogue today or if you're asking this question to yourself

in the morning what was your inner dialogue yesterday

what does this question mean so this is gonna help you take inventory on how

you're treating yourself with your thoughts and your emotions it's gonna

allow you to take a step back at the end of the day and really think back on that

how did you treat yourself today how did you handle stress how did you handle

hearing about other people's success you know how did you handle your own success

today I think by asking yourself what would your inner dial on today it helps

you become more aware of if you're treating yourself the right way and if

you're not in becoming more aware of that you can take steps to give yourself

more compassion give yourself a freaking break you know give yourself some slack

you know you're probably doing a lot better in life than you think you are

and if you're doing great in life then sustain that inner dialogue and sustain

that positive thought thinking you're giving yourself right so that's question

number one question number two what does success mean to you so question what the

success yours driving form means to you and what it actually looks like and

you'll have a much more laser-like focused and clear direction on how to

get to where that is if you're not already there so these neighbors are

like dude what is this guy talking about okay number three what direction is your

life pointed towards and how do you feel about that do you feel like your life is

pointed in the direction where you want it to go and you see a lot of positive

things on the horizon awesome sustain that if you feel like you see a life

that you wish you were living but your legs are walking in the opposite

direction identify where you're going and identify what steps you can start

taking today to realign and shift that direction of your life so that you are

pointing in the direction you want to get by questioning the direction your

life is going you'll become more where of where you are and what changes

you can make to get to where you want to be or what bad habits and behaviors you

can continue doing to sustain the path you're on okay number four what is today

or tomorrow single most important goal what single one action can you do to

move toward that direction that you want to continue going in or you want to

change to number five are you willing to own your full potential number six what

fears are keeping you from doing what you know you have to do in life and

that's a great question and I think it'll reveal a lot about what fears are

driving your actions today no no no that's my neighbor's lemons beginning to

fight over there they're arguing over something

number seven they're arguing over which question they're gonna ask themselves

first that's what it is okay number seven what are the achievements that

you're proud of in your life can you look back on those achievements you've

done and maybe recreate what you did in a current obstacle that's currently in

your life so what achievements are you proud of in

your life and on yourself to those a lot of times you know we tend to think of

the negative things about ourselves think about the positive things you've

done and see if you can recreate those and to overcome current obstacles in

your life right I just said that twice alright number eight what advice would

you give yourself three years ago I like that one a lot number nine what

bad habits can you eliminate from your life number 10

what what one fear worry or anxiety have you been holding on to that you can

share with someone this week there was a particular fear that I've been going

around that I've been going through very heavily lately I just kept circling

around it and I just could not get out of it and I brought it up to a colleague

at work a couple days ago and this individual said that they had been going

through the exact same thing and they provided awesome direction and awesome

advice that totally shifted my perspective and put me back in a state

of mental control and while their advice was helpful I think the mere act of me

just sharing it with someone sharing this fear that I've kept hidden away

from the world and and voicing it out to someone else just the act of sharing it

with them allow me to flesh it flush it out of my system and allowed for massive

transformation transformative change for me in an instant so what's one fear

warrior anxiety that you can share with the world this week I promise you just

getting it off your chest will make you feel so much better it'll be a weight

off your shoulders you'll feel lighter more clear-headed relaxed docile

peaceful if this is interesting to you take some time to really just ask

yourself some questions take a step outside of your normal daily routine

it's been a couple moments every day or each week reflecting on your inner

genius and ask yourself questions that will help you get to where you need to

be much love peace thank you for watching I'll be back

Patricia Churchland, What is neurophilosophy? - Duration: 1:52.

Neurophilosophy is an emerging discipline that is interested in the

overlap between neuroscience on the one hand and philosophy on the other hand. It

has to do with how the grand old questions from philosophy about what is

the nature of knowledge, what is it to have a self, what is it to have

self-control; that these grand old questions that philosophers have

pondered for many many hundreds of years now

with developments in neuroscience we can see certain results in neuroscience that

help us understand - in terms of the brain itself - what is the nature of

self-control, how does memory and learning work, how do

they work. So neurophilosophy really is kind of the inevitable melding of

disciplines because of advances in neuroscience but also advances in

psychology and also in genetics; so there are a number of scientific fields that

work together to help us make real progress in understanding questions such

as what is the nature of consciousness, what is it to make decisions and to have

choices.

What If the Universe Was Shaped Like a Donut? - Duration: 7:01.

[ ♪ Intro ]

It's kind of weird thinking about the universe having a shape.

It's the universe, right?

It's … universe … shaped ...

But it does have one.

We just aren't sure what that shape is.

And some cosmologists have proposed that of all things, it might be shaped kind of like

a donut.

When we're talking about the shape of the universe, we're really talking about its topology.

The topology of an object has nothing to do with how many sides it has, or where parts

of it are relative to one another.

It only depends on the number of holes: a sphere has none, a donut has one, and so on.

A sphere and a donut are both round, but they have different topologies because there's

no way to take a sphere and stretch or smash it to make it look like a donut without, shall

we say, "tearing it a new one."

On the other hand, a lot of objects we think of as clearly being different shapes have

exactly the same topology.

A coffee mug has one hole in the handle, so topologically speaking, there's no difference

between a mug and a donut.

There are a lot of proposed topologies that the universe could possibly have, from plain

shapes with no holes to some that are much more complex.

But one of the most common ideas is what's called a 3-torus.

It's impossible for our puny human minds to visualize what that looks like from the

outside, because you'd need a fourth spatial dimension.

A line is one dimensional.

A flat plane: two.

And with the third dimension you get depth.

Usually, when we talk about the fourth dimension, we mean time.

But in this case, it's a fourth spatial dimension — the next level up from 3D.

And as beings who've lived our whole lives in 3D space, we can't really imagine what

4D would look like.

That doesn't mean you can't model a 3-torus, though!

You just have to step everything down a dimension.

You can take our universe, with its 3 spatial dimensions, and model it as a two-dimensional

flat plane — think of it like a piece of paper, except pretend it stretches to infinity

along both axes.

If you take that piece of paper and wrap it into a cylinder, it stays infinite in one

direction but becomes finite in the other, because eventually you loop around the cylinder.

If you then wrap the ends of the cylinder together, making it connect along both axes,

you have yourself a 3-dimensional version of a 3-torus.

There you go.

Donut universe.

Topology is different from geometry.

It doesn't care if or how space is curved, or about the distance or angles between different objects.

Geometry does; it knows the difference between our mug and donut, and we're actually pretty

sure we know what the geometry of the universe is.

Measurements have shown it's almost definitely flat, as opposed to positively or negatively curved.

Which, again, gets a little brain-break-y, because "flat" is not normally an adjective

we use to describe things in 3D.

But cosmologists talk about 3D space as being "flat" or "curved" because it's

the best analogy we have for what we're trying to describe, which basically boils

down to this:

If you shine two laser beams in parallel, do they stay parallel?

Or do they eventually cross or diverge?

When we say the universe is flat, we mean that the beams stay parallel — space isn't

warped in a way that would curve them toward or away from each other.

The 'donut' universe is actually a topology with a flat geometry, which our simplified

3D model can't, well, model.

But the idea is that instead of a simple plane that stretches to infinity in 3 dimensions,

it connects at multiple points.

In other words, it's finite.

But it mimics an infinite universe because light wraps all the way around the shape,

so you get the effect of standing in one of those infinity light boxes.

The 2D version of this is a classic video game where, if you move to one side of the

screen, you pop up on the opposite side with the same speed and trajectory.

In 3D space, if the universe were incredibly small, and you looked directly up, you'd

see the bottom of your own feet.

Or if you looked over your shoulder, you'd see yourself repeated in an infinitely long line.

But our universe isn't that small.

So how could we possibly tell if we're living in a 3-torus?

Basically, astronomers hunt for recurring patterns in astronomical images -- the same

cosmological structures showing up in multiple parts of the sky.

That would mean light is wrapping around the universe, and we could run models on those

patterns to determine its topology.

Or at least, we could if the true size of universe is smaller than the distance it takes

the light of everything to reach us.

Because remember, light takes time to get to us.

There could be things out there so far away that even though the light coming from them

has been traveling almost since the beginning of time, it still hasn't reached us yet.

If there is stuff beyond where the earliest light we can see originated, the light wouldn't

have the opportunity to wrap around and create any repeat images.

The universe could be a donut, and we'd never know.

That said, results as recent as 2015, courtesy of the European Space Agency's now-defunct

Planck satellite, have failed to find any evidence of a 3-torus topology.

Or any topology.

So as far as we can tell, the universe is not a donut.

But what if it were?

Well, in day-to-day life - even in certain fields of astronomy - it wouldn't matter

very much.

Just like there's a lot of physics we can still do with old-school Newtonian equations,

changing how we think about the universe's topology wouldn't require rewriting the

rules of stellar life cycles or planetary formation.

But there is one bit of cosmology a donut universe definitely threatens: inflation.

Cosmologists think the universe suddenly expanded in size when it was super duper young.

When we look at the light left over from the Big Bang — what's known as the cosmic

microwave background, or CMB — we can see evidence of that inflation.

But there's nothing in the theory that would cause inflation to produce a universe big

enough to house all the galaxies, yet small enough to see itself repeated within the observable horizon.

So knowing the universe was a donut would force astronomers to find a new explanation

for why the CMB looks the way it does.

But one of the cooler consequences of a donut universe?

Somewhere out there, some of the oodles of galaxies would actually be the Milky Way itself.

But we wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at them, because they'd appear billions

of years younger.

So you could actually wave to yourself, but you'd be very dead before you received the message.

But hey, it's the thought that counts.

Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Space.

If you want to celebrate your love of the universe and drink coffee out of a topological

donut every morning, we've got your covered!

What was it like to be a real priest at the Catholic-themed Met Gala - Duration: 6:05.

It's hilarious.

I don't I'm just happy to be alive

somewhere the way

we are here today to talk about the

Met gala and the theme of

the night of the exhibition

accompanying the event was

heavenly bodies fashion

and the Catholic imagination.

I'm joined by Father James Martin editor

at large at America.

And my name is Eloise Blondeau.

So my first question for

you Jim is what was it like

being a real priest among

many other people on the

red carpet.

And did people know that you were

a priest or did they assume that you were in costume.

I would say three

quarters of the people understood that I was

a priest and so hello father

and who were you. And I knew a few people

and then there were a quarter of people who had no

clue seemingly what a priest

was and said all sorts of crazy things to me

like like

Hey bro you've got the

best costume of the night.

Are you real priest.

I like your costume

but you know people don't know what to say.

They get nervous. They're trying their best.

I don't think they were not trying to be offensive.

And so you know you take these things in

stride. And Pope Francis likes to

say you try to meet people where they are

right.

And that night they were at the Met Gala.

So you meet them there.

Right and they're engaging

with the Catholic imagination.

How did you see people engaging

with the faith

or with God.

Well lots of different ways.

I mean when you walked in the

first thing you were led into

the exhibit and a lot of people were very

interested in the way the Met

and that they've did a tremendous job

in displaying the exhibit the garments

sort of next

to or juxtaposed

with the religious are

and similar just habits

but also the Sistine Chapel

Choir was there and people engage

with the holy that way

and then also you know Cardinal Dolan was there

to drive a great job

and they were engaging with him.

And then of course people engaged in their

own ways with their fashion

with what they wore.

What did you find.

What did you think was the most surprising

aspect of the event.

I think the most surprising aspect of the event

for me was that

people seemed a little

out of their element

and that I you know we were so used to

sort of seeing Catholic things in the Catholic imagination

here. And people seem not

to know some people seem not to know exactly

what the antecedents are the provenance

of some of these costumes in the exhibit

were. And they were asking me questions What's that.

What's this. That's a Mieder.

That's a cassock.

I guess it's not surprising

but I think I work so much in the

Catholic world

and the Catholic land as I like to call it that

I'm always surprised when people seem to have

no conception of

where these customs come

from. What do you say to people who

might think that the event trivialized

their faith.

Well I think it's a good question we have to distinguish between

the exhibit which was very serious

the one that the Met curator that Andrew Bolton

and his team curated

and it is tremendous

and the gala gala is a big party

essentially it's a fundraiser.

So it's for good cause

and you know whether

or not someone wears an outlandish dress I think

the church is going to survive.

I don't think that you know Rihanna wearing

a Popat is really going to destroy

the church so you know really take it

with a grain of salt

and also put things in perspective.

Right. And I think it's a

good thing to see people trying to engage

with the church and the faith even if

the outcome is not necessarily

what Catholics would expect

or would have wanted.

I think that's a good question because when you see someone wearing

a dress that seems a little outlandish you have no

idea what's going through their heart.

This might be their own way of trying to

engage you're trying to celebrate

in their own way.

So we need to take that seriously too.

So Jim what are you personally offended

by any of the outfit choices

at the event last night

at the gala.

There were some I thought were a little over the top it takes

a lot to offend me.

There was nothing that was kind of

you know disgusting

or tasteless.

I thought some of them were really ridiculous actually

and I thought some of the people wearing the dresses looked

ridiculous. Not my cup of tea

but I wasn't offended.

And once again you never know what's in someone's

heart. You never know how they're trying to

pay tribute or celebrate at all.

So what about you did you say anything offensive.

I personally was not offended.

And I think

with an event like this

and it's actually really

interesting to see how

the boundaries of the religious

and the secular don't really exist

and there are just people doing their best

to engage with this subject matter.

And for example I know that some people are uncomfortable

with Briana's outfit because she

was wearing a papal garb

with shorts underneath.

But personally I wasn't offended by that.

It was a kind of an interesting way

to admire

and part of the Catholic tradition

even though it may not have been anything

that a Catholic would have chosen to wear.

I thought it was interesting

and I think that was part of what

the Gallade did. Well it was thought

provoking and it showed us

how people perceive Catholics versus

how Catholics maybe perceive themselves.

My biggest fear last night was stepping on one of those long

train give it to Andrew Bolton

and he told me that he did that once

and you can hear this like it's fair

at least I didn't do that so I made it.

Ultimately have about three assistants

per train following these

people around.

Not once you get in.

They were sort of sort of being

swept all over the floor so I had to

be very careful.

But I was successful in not tearing

anybody's 10000 dollar gown.

So Jim thank you so much for

speaking to me today about

the gala and the exhibit

and speaking of the exhibit

and for those of you like myself

who weren't able to attend the gala

you can go

and see the exhibition at the Metropolitan

Museum and cloisters.

I highly recommend you do so

if you are interested in seeing more

of our coverage of the event

and the exhibition you can go to
