Wolfram Alpha: "distance to the sun in smoots"

CORRECTIONS:
- I accidentally said the speed of light was 1.672 * 10^8 smoots/second when it is actually 1.762, but thankfully the on-screen number is correct.
- At 3:30 I say "over 400" when I mean "almost 400", first spotted by Ryan Thom.
- Many, many people have pointed-out that I pronounced the Greek letter χ "chi" as 'chai' when it should be 'ki'. I apologise for that, but stand by the way I say ε "epsilon".
