Transcript

00:00

Yeah Oh okay Future scientists this is the last section

00:07

Got five more questions for you And here's our little

00:10

passage because you know the way that way studying our

00:23

place in the universe can be downright humbling Yeah scientists

00:27

have pondered just how big the universe is for ages

00:30

Some have argued that the entire universe is in what

00:33

we call the Milky Way including spiral object like the

00:37

Andromeda galaxy Other scientists have argued that great distances separate

00:42

the observed spiral objects But here we go Question one

00:46

of the group which scientist might call the spiral objects

00:50

Islands of stars Oh All right We'll think about this

00:57

from reading the claims made by scientists who we know

01:00

that since nobody are observed in both Milky Way and

01:04

the spirals while the spirals must be composed of stars

01:07

Scientist One claims that the spirals are part of the

01:09

Milky Way not isolated systems and most relevantly not made

01:14

of stars So this scientist would not call them islands

01:18

of stars He or she would more likely call them

01:22

islands of space dust or something like that Islands of

01:26

swirling bodies that are yet to be properly identified or

01:31

islands have dirt on your telescope So maybe clean it

01:34

every once in a while there Bob you know we're

01:36

looking at you but we'll definitely not islands of stars

01:40

So the answer is B scientists do
