Professor Dave Explains

Since everyone seemed to enjoy my recent video on flat earthers freaking out about the Artemis II mission, how about a little bonus episode? Right after posting that video, someone informed me that they had been baiting David Weiss, posing as a pilot who flew the vomit comet that allowed them to fake the Orion interior shots. And the dumbass bought it! He used AI-generated pictures and testimony in his recent content. Let's go over all the details and mock him some more, shall we?

We just learned about the Perfect System, and how to form the present perfect tense. Let's move on the the second tense in this system, the pluperfect. This is used to describe actions that are more past than another action which is already past. How does that work exactly? Let's find out!

We've covered the basics regarding second-order differential equations and their solutions, for both linear homogenous and nonhomogenous differential equations. Now let's look at some special second-order types, such as Cauchy-Euler, and nonlinear. These will be a bit trickier but they have some interesting applications so let's take a look!

With the Artemis II mission completed, what's next for the Artemis program? What will be the goals of the next set of missions? Will we build a permanent lunar base? What about a Martian base? Who will live on these bases and what will they do? What are the biological concerns related to living off-Earth for extended periods of time? Let's go over some details, and then speak with biologist Scott Solomon, whose new book deals with precisely these questions.

For this one, we will need to be able to draw Newman projections as well as name the molecule using the rules of IUPAC nomenclature. Basic stuff!

After covering old world archeology, it's time to check out the new world. This refers to the Americas, where several civilizations were also occurring. The largest ones were found in Mesoamerica, which is present day Mexico. This includes the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. Then in South America there were the Incas among others, and towards the north there the Mississippians and more. Let's take a look at all of these now!

Apart from war and famine, the Late Middle Ages also saw significant political change. Secular rulers and the Papacy were constantly at odds in terms of who had power over whom. All of this turmoil culminated in the beginning of the Renaissance, so let's see how we got there.

For this one we will need to understand the basics about Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reactions, and we also should be able to gauge the stability of various potential conjugate bases.
