    At long distances, yes I agree, but what if I’m looking at a pea-sized object from six inches away? Because I have two eyes separated by 2.5 inches, it seems I’d be able to see more than 50% of its surface since I’m effectively looking at it from two different places, no?

Could even be more than two mediums effecting the view. Can't seem to find any journals or other papers/studies on double or triple snell windows or even any with other mediums at all. How odd what's missing sometimes is the most interesting...

    This easily outlines a vastly superior form of education and informative content, in which the goal is to explore random questions that arise from the natural curiosity among students.
    The teacher says something. Students ask questions. The teacher picks a question. The teacher guides the students in research. Students ask new questions throughout this whole process. Repeat. At the end of the week (or semester), the students write a simple summary on (or create a project summarizing) everything they explored.
    This feels exactly like what the Vsauce office does, where the end projects are these masterpieces of videos.

    Fun fact, easy to visually estimate that the circle drawn at 4:18 is about three times the size it would need to be to be accurate.
    Just visually, it's easy to estimate that you would fit about six of those circles to cover the entire 50%-ish of the earth that you can see from this view - this is easier if you mentally divide the earth into three broad horizontal bands (making a thinner one at the equator to account for how much more area it has). If you mentally look at the area of each, each of the bands - two fat ones at the latitudes, and one thin one at the equator - would be each easily covered by the area of two of those circles.
    So a total of about six circles to cover the 50% of the earth we see, thus about 12 for the total.
    He had just said that they could only see about 3% of the earth from the station, which is about 33 "circles" to cover the whole earth (100/3).
    So since 12 is about 1/3 of 33, the circle he drew here is about three times too large.
    Not even really nitpicking, just playing along with the theme of the video and recognizing how hard it is to represent things accurately, which makes me feel a little compassion for all the lies we were endlessly presented with in school.

    Fun fact about the ISS orbital speed and a song coincidence:
    If someone aboard the station listenined to the Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be" from the first notes to the last (ignoring the 7-10 seconds of silence at the end of the labeled duration), the ISS would have gone almost "500 miles and... 500 more," just to be... 1000 miles in its orbit! Almost exactly!
