WINTER:
Seasons of Westeros and the 3-body problem:
Other possible explanations for the seasons:
Why those other reasons are wrong:
NOTE ON MOONS AND STABILIZATION: I’m adding this comment after the video goes up: In retrospect I should have said that a moon doesn’t *necessarily* have to be present to stabilize a planet. While our moon does cancel out some tugging from the other planets in the solar system, here’s a recent paper shows that moonless planets can orbit with great stability even without the influence of a moon. Basically moons aren’t required for stability:

RIVER SONG!!!
I like your videos but you gotta change your name
Is it just me or does this guy look like a discount Hank Green?
Maybe it isn't about seasons, but ice ages coming and going more frequently than on earth?
If they don’t live on earth then why do they look exactly like humans and why do they speak English?
We now how to make Damascus Steel, we have things such as x-ray that you can use to analyse alloy as well as as NMR, and dozen other methods
I don't necessarily need my fantasy stories to agree 100% with established science, however I do expect them to have consistent rules. Eragon? [Check] Way of Kings? [Check] Mortal Instruments? [FAIL]
bush did valyria
And to explain the planet thing we are thinking the world is round but in mid evil times people believed the Earth was flat not round like we know now
Think in the Sense of a Greek tragedy a faceless no name man killed me witness he had no face or a name a thousand years later still no name no face perfect crime
It is called "Damascus" Steel man! how come it is made in India! (Damascus is the oldest capital city in the world, and it is in Syria)
what if this doesn't happen on the surface rather beneath it….like hollow earth??
winter wasnt a thing before the white walkers so its all because of them
great presentation bro
milk of the poppy – PST
you know nothing Jon snow
The think is that the northern part of the world wasn't always a hostile and frozen place. That happened after the creation of the white walkers by the children of the forest.

it matters that the wings are large enough so plausable those dragons
watch some theroies some say that dragon glass is needed
having never seen the show (horrors!!), i found your video informative.
but i don't know that picking apart intricate fantasies is the best use of science.
this just seems to be the 21st century version of tolkien to me, and i never understood that obsession, either.
or star wars or klingon dictionaries or… you get the point.
leave the scientific debates about fictional worlds to the geeks and nerds.
i need information i can use from you. please.
The answer to winter is simple, the planet is like Earth, the seasons are normal too, the land mass is mostly on equator or is positioned similar to our Australia, making it so that there is no winter.
Only cold weather is on the far north and the "winter is coming" is just another way of saying ice age will happen someday.
We also had long winter (ice age) and it might come again, when, we dont know.
This makes it very simple and no complicated theories are needed.
i thought white walkers bring winter
Wtf its magic dude
Dude, there were flying dinosours as well, weren't there? There could be flying dragons as well, i dont know the physics, but we can fly an airplane, dragons have more strength than an airplane, it might not have an aerodynamic structure as good….
02:19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9tS67S8Ehc (06:19)
Or its because its all inside the eyes of a blue eyed giant
Game of Thrones Science!

Dragons are also kept in the air by magic. Not physics alone.
*says regular science doesn't apply to Game of Thrones
*tries to apply regular science to Game of Thrones
it is known!!
Notice that they have never had a "milk of the poppy crisis?"
Legalize milk of the poppy now!
Actually the wall is made of a stone core coated with ice
It is like a long dam covered with ice
organization Video actually looks like strongly%hpig father
7:20 then interstellar is a work of art
1:00 I think the pictures are a bit messed up there
#FlatEarth
I liked the video just because he said 'Science is Coming'. Should watch it now 😀
Hodor… crying why???
The wall has stone and anciant speals
No it's because they're world is actually the eye of a blue eyed giant
This video is proof that literature can take over the world faster than any superpower country.
What if there's just a God who switches from warmth to winter as he pleases? That would basically work like our flat world
Well, that's neat… now do Gallifreyan technology…
Liu Cixin the three Body Problem
… And there's only one thing you can say to George. Not this episode!
You should do an episode on Damascus steel…and how it is still made today!
airplanes and rockets are too big to fly but somehow the physics work. ppl who lack imagination need to stop trying to explain things with science. science doesn't answer questions, it creates them. how about this theory; blimps and hot air balloons fly with hot air, I'm sure a dragon is full of hot air…or some type of gas like helium of some other flammable liquids. and a dragons physiology may not be what science expects. ppl have a problem imposing their infantile beliefs on a massive world. science proves nothing definitively, nothing is 100â„… because you got to account for the anomaly…aka miracle… aka magic. like tyrion said, I trust my eyes and the eyes of the honest. we all know animals go extinct all the time. there are pictures and literary accounts of dragons. I haven't seen one but for a world without internet, similar drawings and cravings are found all around world…think about that
