I am NOT and after resist both for the
past three years I’ve been attempting to
construct a scientifically actors
fictional universe from scratch using
nothing both pen paper and basic
mathematics this process of constructing
imaginary settings is known as world and
those who were built are known as world
builders online YouTube channel of
artifexian I’ve been encouraging others
to become world leaders by showing them
how to create believable galaxies stars
planets planetary systems moons and even
languages so to keep you all here today
a sense of what it means to be a world I
thought it’d be neat idea to construct
an entire planet for you in this very
TEDx talk what could possibly go wrong
fair warning there will be maths and I’m
liable to get really excited when I see
numbers so I apologize in advance and I
thank you for indulging this math low
ignorant anyways instructing an entire
planet seems like an impossible task
where do we even begin well science
tells us that the planet’s surface
gravity mass radius and density are all
related
I call that fella a panic builder
because like you literally take overs
and shop the matter and it spits out
fully functional scientifically accurate
that’s like let’s say this world we’re
going to create today has a surface
gravity exactly equal terms
well let’s make it a slightly smaller
world say something that about 80% the
radius server in follows then that mass
must be about two-thirds the mass of
earth and the density about 20% greater
image fine but what does this all mean
they’re just numbers right how is this
even remotely related to anything at all
why are you subjecting us to this I hear
you ask you see the thing we don’t learn
in maths class is that numbers tell us
stories and in this case today they’re
going to paint beautiful vistas of
majorie worlds so we have to ask the
question what’s the story behind these
numbers so the first thing that popped
out of me is this low mass back there is
next actual stuff in the planet you just
created but the stuff that is there is
quite dense so perhaps our the world is
a world pregnant with the materials
needed to drive rapid technological
advance heavy metals rare elements and
so on
and because of our planet small sizes
any advancements made both
technologically and intellectually could
quickly spread across the goal certain
operating the planet for example it
could take less time less effort and
crucially could cost less money ideas
and innovations might propagate on this
in the world of ours are raised on
fallible tossed earthlings moreover our
planet’s escaped lost how fast we need
to be going in order to break free of
the planets gravity is about 90% adverts
the lower they say philosophy the easier
and cheaper it is to launch spacecraft
so not only could out of it the world
allowing its inhabitants to rapidly
accelerate off to the point of becoming
a spacefaring civilization it’s
relatively no escape velocity may give
them the incentive needed to step out
into the cosmos an awful lot earlier
than we did this little world of ours it
could be a world littered with robots
and space points but this is just one
interpretation of the numbers many other
creative impulses lie in with eating
these numbers waiting to be encoded that
said any known points are source of food
at this stage because without the star
our final count have light starlight is
the fuel
which life front no sire no like there’s
no robots and sadly no spectacles so
it’s incumbent upon us I think that we
have to go the star no star building is
even cooler sorry putter compatibility
check this out let’s say at the star
that’s one point one times the mass of
our song if I do this I generate is
luminosity how bright it is relative to
our Sun this is temperature this it’s
radius and this it’s lifetime all
relative to our son how awesome is that
like using just the most basic of
exponents and they would literally
determine the physical makeup of a
celestial object and this holds every
time a star 7% more massive than our so
we will have these characteristics
thought occurs we got two stars
could our planet orbital both of them
like this perhaps answer totally twin
suns or binary star systems are abundant
in the universe and astronomers have
even planets orbiting in this exact
configuration now we can’t place all
over the world our attorney close-up
stars it’s going in front nor can we
place an arbitrary far away let it die
an icy depth
see we want life-forms and robots and
space ports so we’re going to need to
place our planet at a distance such that
they can have liquid water on it service
because life means water or at least
life as we know now if you’re a nerd
like me you will start asking yourself
well what is this turns out it’s that
and again no really basic mathematics in
our case today over the world will need
to orbit about one point six three times
the distance Earth orbits the Sun so if
we imagine it’s the Sun this inertia
maybe about their first camp we have a
little bit of wiggle room with you move
it a little bit further up which might
result in is becoming a cold work
perhaps covered in global 2000 or we can
move it slightly further in which my
result
warm world a dry one for sake of
expediency I’m going to keep it where it
is and turn it into a desert touch by
placing it about here which is pretty
much as close as I can get it without
discarding the notion of scientific
possibility now at all that the bike it
is time to go back to 1600 and talk to
this cool dude Johannes Kepler who came
up with this equally cool for me now
this is one of my favorites if if we
take the distance out of the world
orbits it starts and the songs of the
masses of those two stars we get wait
for the length of a year on the planet
we’ve just created 300 for our days like
how awesome is that look like what does
it all mean they’re just numbers right
how is this even remotely related
anything at all why oh why oh why are
you subjecting us to this I hear you
drop it that’s about a question that’s a
very valid question but let’s say let’s
say you and I were to set foot on this
patch stepping out of our Stargate or
whatever we be immediately struck by the
glory that is between songs and the
intense heat and the fact that daytime
on this planet would be kind of weird
like we experienced a mega bright day
when both stars were facing us as
somewhat dimmer day when one eclipses
your order and the doer day again one
situation
is reversed and if we lingered awhile we
noticed that anything pertaining to the
seasons hibernation gestation migration
seasonal festivals that’s early would
seem rapidly accelerated cubes and
planets short here and there will be
four to one robots and sweltering space
ports imagine such world imagine how
cool it would be to experience such
place
look what we achieved with just the most
basic of mathematics imagine how cool
are we to to know this place to feel
this place but the really cool thing is
that we don’t need to imagine we all
here likely have experienced this place
we all know what this place is we all
have in a way Finland would anyone like
to hazard a guess as to what this place
might be called any takers excel in my
excel in the art of subdivisions this
this planet we’ve created today is
called Tatooine this it’s happening
through Star Wars this entire time all
I’ve been doing is outline
the model that owner pays the Tatooine
system Tatooine is for most part
scientific development it is 0.82 times
the size of earth its service target is
exactly equal to earth therefore its
mass is about extensity that it orbits
to scientifically plausible stars whose
masses are that and it does so in three
hundred four days and if you permit me
to ever so slightly submerge it here q e
d ‘dont proven my job is and they don’t
believe if you don’t believe me I invite
you now I implore you all to go to
Wikipedia and that genuinely is a thing
and verify my claims o regardless this
Tatooine realization should hopefully
give you some idea as to why the world
builders do what we do we create
fictional worlds for use in our works of
fiction be it for our novels games films
or TV series
we construct imaginary places to bring
plausibility scientific accuracy and or
internal consistency to our creative
works so as to provide a more immersive
experience for our audiences but this is
not why I did it
I build pure did learn and pass that
which I’ve learned on tell others I am a
lifelong of I lacked an aural building
satisfies my infiltrators like in order
to pull off this Pat ravine build I have
to learn about planetary science I had
to learn about stellar astrophysics I
had to learn about oral orbital
mechanics and the list goes on and on
more will they need for need encompasses
every aspect of the human experience and
this is why I do what I do I create
secondary worlds saw was the better
understand this world our world my place
with image so my name is Edgar and I am
NOT and asked visits
or one day soon I’ll be flying to go
back to college one of you to become and
I have Tatooine to thank for that thank
you
