These are great. I'm off for the day, but somewhere between 5 and 6 minutes on the second video he says the Earth doesn't change its distance from the Sun due to the Law of Gravity. But since the sun is converting 4 million tons of matter per second into energy, the Earth would have to increase its distance from the Sun over time. I wonder what minimum mass the Sun would have to be to keep the Earth in orbit versus being pulled into the expansion of space.
