शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Neil deGrasse Tyson Blasts Maps For Making Africa Look Small I CLUB SHAY SHAY - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

The size of Africa on the map.

Don't get me started.

Africa is bigger than what they portray on the map, or they're smaller than what they portray on the map.

On flat maps, there are distortions in the north and in the south.

Okay.

And Africa straddles the equator.

Yes.

Okay.

So on those maps, the most accurate-sized things are along the equator.

Okay.

As you move away, things get artificially bigger because of the projection.

And North America looks huge.

Do you realize you can fit the continental United States, you can fit five of them into Africa.

Five.

Wow.

And we make a big deal of what state you're from.

Oh, you're just from Africa.

You're not going to take the time to learn what countries are in Africa?

Like, really?

Yeah.

You learn every state in the union, and Africa can fit five of those. So, yeah.

So it's not that Africa is too small or large.

It's that North America and Europe are distortedly large relative to Africa.

Oh.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, they are in a race to get the space.

Have they called you and said, hey, doc, help us out?

they don't need my help the quickest safest way they don't

need my help plus they're doing different things bezos he's he's got this you go up

and you come back right right elon can actually put things into orbit two very different spaces right

and uh uh bezos is how long is

that right 20 minutes at most something like

that you don't need bathrooms on board unless you have bladder problems right

if you have bladder problems you shouldn't be going up you're going up in space right uh whereas

Because Elon puts you into orbit.

And he has a much more significant space operation going on than Bezos or Branson or the billionaire boys space race.

So yeah, I'm not eager to go into, quote, space.

Right.

Because to everybody who asked me that, they're talking about these going up and coming back.

Right.

If you shrunk Earth to the size of a schoolroom globe, I ask you, how high above that would you find the International Space Station?

Just take a guess.

A couple of miles.

From the schoolroom globe?

Yeah.

OK.

The space station is 4 tenths of an inch above the surface.

That's it?

Bezos and Branson when they send people up in their little rocket?

Yeah.

The thickness of two dimes above Earth's surface, if Earth were a schoolroom globe.

As an astrophysicist, I cannot embrace that as space.

Right.

Space, send me somewhere.

Moon, Mars, beyond.

Yeah.

Then I'll go.

Well, Musk wants to populate Mars.

You interested in that?

Well, yeah, provided he sends his mother first.

You're not going to be the guinea pig.

I don't want to be anybody a guinea pig.

Yeah.

And I would go to visit.

I wouldn't go to stay.

Do you realize Antarctica is warmer, warmer, balmier, and wetter than any place on Mars?

Yet nobody's lining up to build condos in Antarctica.

Yeah.

So what is the...

And I guess I'm asking the wrong person.

But what's the fascination about putting or having people go to another planet, go to have people to be out of space?

What is that fascination?

To go where no man has gone before.

Star Trek, huh?

Just because you don't feel it doesn't mean others wouldn't.

You think people would actually want to live?

There was already a company called Mars One that would get people to sign up for one-way trips to Mars.

They went out of business because they couldn't raise money enough to do it

because it's way cheaper to send somebody there one way than to bring them back. Of course.

So it'd be like the old Mayflower, you know?

Yeah.

And I spoke with the guy, the entrepreneur.

He was Dutch, by the way, which was a little surreal

because the Dutch East India Trading Company came right behind Columbus to sell you stuff in the new world.

So I spoke to him and I said, are people interested in this?

Yes, there's like a waiting list.

For my podcast, we interviewed one of the people who had signed up.

Kind of geeky guy, you know, my type.

And I said, well, why do you want to go?

Oh, because it's a fascinating, it's a frontier.

I'd love to.

And you're not coming back, you're okay with it?

Yeah.

And I said, what does your wife think about this?

And he said, oh, she's encouraging it.

I didn't want to give him a lesson in relationships.

Yeah, but yeah, she over you, bro.

In that moment, I didn't want to be the one.

Yes.

But she's over him, right?

100

Right.

101

Okay.

102

So here's the thing.

103

When the Mayflower landed in the New World?

104

Yes.

105

And they got off the ship?

106

Yeah.

107

They could breathe the air.

108

Yes.

109

If there's a broken part of the ship, the trees in the New World are made of wood.

110

Right.

111

And they could repair it.

112

There were other human beings waiting to feed them when they landed.

113

That was a one-way trip.

114

But the destination was very different than from Mars, where Martians aren't waiting to feed them.

115

Right.

116

They can't breathe the air.

117

There are no trees.

118

Not that you would repair a spaceship with wood.

119

Right.

120

But so, yeah, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

121

What is the correlation?

122

There seems to be a correlation, or I think there's a correlation, between geniuses and how functioning autism.

123

I don't think that's it.

124

I would say, by the way, one out of six of my colleagues is probably on the spectrum.

125

There may be a correlation, but I have an easier explanation for it.

126

Okay?

127

If you're on the spectrum, you could focus like it's nobody's business.

128

Okay, because you don't have other people distracting you.

129

Yes.

130

You're not showing up on podcasts.

131

Yes You're not hosting your own podcast, right?

132

You're not the life of the party, right?

133

That you're not going to any party at all at all.

134

So another genius Who might be socialized right is not so focused as the unsocialized person on the spectrum.

135

Mm-hmm.

136

So, it's easy for me to think instead

137

that social geniuses never ascend to the highest heights they could have intellectually because they're too distracted living their life.

138

Okay.

139

So, whereas on the spectrum, you could be in the lab and forget to pee.

140

Right.

141

Your personal hygiene doesn't even come up as a priority, given how focused you are.

142

Einstein.

143

Do you believe he was on the spectrum?

144

You look back now, because we didn't have that vocabulary back then.

145

We didn't know what to call people.

146

Plenty of people I grew up with, it's easy to retroactively declare, they're on the spectrum.

147

I don't know.

148

I don't think he was.

149

because he had an awareness and a sensitivity to, well, I don't want to generalize everybody on the autism spectrum.

150

It's so, the symptoms are so varied.

151

But in terms of seeing what people think and feel and do, when he was at Princeton, Yes.

152

Marion Anderson came through town.

153

She couldn't stay in the Nassau Inn, which is the hotel in town.

154

He put her up.

155

He put her up.

156

Black opera singer.

157

Yes.

158

He's written about the plight of black people,

159

and he noticed some similarities between the plight of Jews in Hitler Europe and the play to Black people in America,

160

and made these correlations.

161

You have to be aware of the human condition and the interplay

162

and the geopolitics on a level that I've not seen deeper, autistically affected people manifest.

163

I just haven't seen it.

164

But I don't claim to be an expert there. But, yeah.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
