I really enjoy these podcasts. One wonders how many civilizations have noticed our existence. 100 light years radius and growing. Hope friendlies find us first. Considering the number of Borgs on Earth, it's not improbable they're out there. A celestial Klaus Schwab would be bad news
Thanks Lex! You're the best man
There was no beginning and can be no end , before the big bang there possible was another big bang or similar, the end will only be the end of our universe, it may give rise to another universe , or other universes will continue to exist , basically there are no limits and infinite amount of possibilities
It is no nature in 4% of the universe.
Renaming either theory dark matter doesn't make it physical or a material lol
Their is no esoteric theory of everything woven into the universe. It's more complex than this. Just as you would create something you would add more redundancy to it.
On the one hand we'd travel for about 40 thousand years to get to the nearest planet that MIGHT support human life, nevermind the inevitable conflicts that would compel those astronauts to attempt to return to Earth after about one, count 'em, one generation......... but on the other hand, I'm wondering how if in space something has to push against something else to achieve movement, and in the opposite direction, but if space, by definition, is nothingness, what does a space craft's engine propel against while in space? If it's truly propelling against nothingness, why is it not motionless? Just hot air blasting out of its nether regions, like a series of farts. I'm not denying gravity, I'm just saying "space" needs to be redefined if we are to continue.
This man was clearly built to be a thinker. Even at an age where he should be long retired, he still has so much passion for exploring these ideas. Its contagious and made this a great listen!
The Kardashian family were built to be thinkers as are the Hilton sisters. The difference between them and this professor is that the accomplished far more for the world than he has.
Maybe grate people are getting info from the future as a haha moment as there now ideas
Jet just in the neck of time what a joke we play on are self’s
Biden make back door million from China we middle class pays billions for wars is today problems
Paying tax is a gun to one’s head it’s not a given Choice choice should be the willingness to donate to pay into a star type form of global exploration not a forced tax that could make you lose your home your house your way of life because you can’t afford to pay the tax we’re already seeing that being done in the name of Russia war and greenhouse which has no bearing on reality but yet we’re being forced through taxes there are people that are on restricted incomes and low incomes retirement the kick pay a tax that’s being exceeded by inflation
I appreciate that Lex does podcasts on politics as well but the science ones I click immediately without a second thought, especially when it's about space
Sameeee
The power of the universe compels you
What a useless comment
Space is fake 🤥
Same. Can’t wait to listen to this.
I watched this super high
Feeling so lucky to listen to this brilliant minds for free
Thank you UA-cam and lex Fridman

Smoking a doobie whilst listening to Lex’s podcast goes hand in hand like no other 👽
Edgar Castro, astronomy teacher here. Another incredible interview with a great man as Martin Rees. It was Very well conducted by Lex.
I was never taught astronomy in school. I wonder if I had, how much different of a person I might be today as a result.
Your thoughts on this? Even if I didn't go into a space oriented business or line of work, how might it changed or shaped my thinking?
It's a serious question. Who better to answer this question than you. Sweet!! 💪
O.m.g., the re@l edgar castro ???!?

I love how much Martin smiles he clearly enjoys thinking about the universe just like Lex does ❤
Huh?
@@dmstevens87 What?

Hes smiling because he had to sign 300 non disclosures with his government’s an all organizations he worked with they cant allow him to be like hey i was soing work with the government i worked ufos an space.
So glad I discovered your channel, Lex. Nobody has these amazing topics and guests. You're great!
Highly recommend the Generation Zed Podcast!
Hueberman and rogan too have exceptional guests
Check out the Mindscape Podcast by professor Sean Carroll.
Doesn't hold a candle to Legion of Skanks
@@schumannbeing Zed is a wonderful mixture. curt jaimungal’s theory of everything is a must watch/listen.
Lex Fridman. This man stole my heart. I’m a 29 year old mom who is cleaning my home and I can’t find anything else in the world I would rather listen to. This seems like the most important questions in life. Everything that came out of this man’s mouth is all I think about on repeat in my brain. I don’t comment usually in videos. Especially his excitement for ai makes me think that it’s one day going to come up and slap us in the face with the advancements of technology once ai is helping us. The part especially about making a simulation to predict certain clues for the actual theory of everything really made me wonder if were in one right now. The theory that gets everyone spooked.
The same people who are spooked about A.I. are the same ones running around spooked about everything else in life. Spooked to think for themselves
@@joeperez1317People are spending tons of money going for help about AI.....it off the charts the world is upside down going crazy about Ai .....they are jumping off buildings....No maybe not😮
39’year old mom here and i could have written this! I don’t have many people to talk to about these things but I’m fascinated and looove this podcast bc hours of discussion
Amazing conversation, aren’t we spoiled by Lex ❤
Lex, you did not say in the introduction to your talk that in our country Martin Rees is the current Astronomer Royal, which is a very prestigious and notable post in the United Kingdom, which goes back for centuries, to 1675 when Charles ll founded the Royal Observatory at Greenwich! He has been a hero of mine for a very long time. Well done for getting him on your podcast!
He’s is such an exemplary British gentleman, educated, knowledgeable and a superior personal conduct and eloquence. This is the one thing to admire most about British culture. Greetings from Germany
I knew he was a vampire! Lord Dracula... If you folks are unaware, the royals are serpent seeds that are Japhetite from Cain's lineage (and the serpent in the garden who seduced our mother). mhmm
Charles II is a hero of mine as well. Supported religious tolerance, and wasn’t just a patron of science, you might even say he was the first and only scientist-king.
The diversity of individuals and content on your channel never fails to impress 👏 👌
Lex. Do interview DR. GURURAJ KARAJAGI who has a PhD in ancient history and epics. Also a visiting professor on innovation in Four colleges in USA Houston CA and I believe Harvard and one another. He is a fabulous storyteller and conversationalist.
Lex loses credibility when he brings religious GRIFTERS to his show. That Barron character from a few days ago was a complete joke. He should stick to science and technology IMO.
All content is always about aliens, no?
I remember when I had my first beer
I love to hear chatting about mathematics from , different fields, it makes me feel stimulated, and the forward movement of time, thanks Sirs, love and peace everyone ❤
Martin is truly an exceptional human being.
He is such a likable person, with so much wisdom and intellect. Amazing podcast, thank you so much Lex
He's soo humble!
I admire him, his articles are superbly written and he is one of those rare scientists that not only are brilliant in one narrow field but have a vast and interdisciplinary understanding of nature and humans and are able to communicate on a level that is accessible to normal people. Great podcast!

He's a top mofo, no doubt😃👍
Yeah, my whiskey, it's inspiring that he can keep the same enthusiasm and he's still quick and sharp at his age.
Lol, these are the dumbest comments I´ve read since yesterday.
@@johnman559 I´m a lobster at the top of my hierarchy pyramid.
I could only wish to be as eloquent as Lord Rees at his age. Still remarkably sharp at an advanced age.
Give the man his title Lex show some respect. LORD Martin Rees. Also awarded the most prestigeous award The Order of Merit. This man is a Titan.
This is what it looks like when you live your life doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing and doing exactly what you love! Thank you for this guest Lex!
Pssst...He thinks we evolved from monkeys, we are alone in the universe and wants to turn you into a cybernetic organism which would strip you of your emotions, so you can fly out to deep space and manifest your destiny in the great empty beyond. Brilliant.😎
@@Unconsciouzonelmfao… I look at these “legends” who are not only elderly but still nerdgasming over humans merging with Ai, and you realize they’ve completely missed the point of life…Anti-progress
@@ShortsByBrian The Universe full of empty worlds patiently awaiting mankind to spread it's "special" form of enlightenment like malware. That's what humankind is 'racing" toward apparently. 🤥
Martin Rees is an amazing man with beautiful, free insights into the nature of what we call "reality"... insights with the discipline of a scientist while not abandoning the delighted and focused curiosity of a child. Wonderful interview, Lex!
He is a Lord in the UK
thank you for this, on behalf of myself ... on a separate subject: did u see the "To Be, To Be" clip on the Bishop Robert Barron pod ... it broke my mind, I'm an atheist!
@@DaNuker so what?
@@TheSoftVelcro You're welcome, and no, I have not seen that clip.
Lex, you're a beautiful human being who has educated me so much in the past months during the toughest times in my life. I keep forgetting to press the like button, but have went back and done a few. I will go back and like all eventualy as the world needs your input more now than ever. Much love brother x
Idk why, but I'm rooting for you @Honeybadger 💪 👍.

@@alexturner1945 Thanks so much Alex, your kind thoughts has made my day, wishing you the very best in life buddy 😊❤👍
Honeybadger...I experience precognition. 9/11, so many terrible things, the analysis of life, combined with a Mystical outlook = MAGIC. In my park in NYC we have raccoons, rabbits, squirrels and sweet feral kitties. Three nights ago I saw a critter that I had never seen, thought it was an urban skunk. It was you ! 🤣🐾🐾
I doubt it@@kozmickarmakoala3526 lots of shinny things in that park, must have been your reflection 😉
I admire you for interviewing one of the most mature of us for their wisdom.
I love Martin Rees... He makes me so proud to be an astronomy nerd and buff 🤣
This video is absolute insanity. So much wisdom and sharpness in Martin Rees. What a smart mind, with so much sophistication and gentleness in the way he communicates. Also top-notch interviewing by Lex. Letting him speak for long times. The respect Lex has for him palpable. Yet he is not afraid to push back against Martin's points and crack the occasional jokes. I am incredibly thankful for this opportunity to peek into the mind of someone of like Rees.
Been following you a long time.
This is a treasure of an interview. Like Penrose his mind is agile and present. He never lost the flow and moved out in fascinating directions.
So grateful.
It does feel like their scientific minds eye and wisdom in the field has only gotten greater with time, they're basically yoda like figure's. Wouldn't be surprised if they force ghost.
You pinpointed it with words I fail to come up with … thank you
how can you have been following a long time when his channel isn't that old?
@@baekho10 I have followed Lex before this particular universe existed. That's how 🤔
@@MrKeltybroadstone over at Gokor’s
What an amazing person this gentleman is. Thank you Lex for bringing these beautiful humans to the masses. Much 💖
I have watched soooo very many podcasts/ interviews, and during the initial few minutes of this one i thought i may just switch to a different one. But, i did not. And it has been one of the best two hour segments of my life in recent memory. Thank you Sir for your time and contributions, and thank you Lex for showcasing. Brilliant
I'm 13 minutes in and I'm blown away at Mr Rees' intelligence
Older than joe biden too. Lol
Yeah it's pretty remarkable, even just after 5 minutes you can tell Martin is just a well of insight
Well...his comments on the possibility that the human brain may be incapable of understanding all aspects of reality is clearly correct..but I never heard it put that way before.
Yeah still sharp as a razor, real life wizard.

Exposure to great minds like this in a long format is easily the most valuable content on UA-cam. I can't imagine all the impact this is having on young minds as well, beautiful stuff
This is the episode that finally got me to subscribe.
This man is literal solid gold.
He’s literally not
@@StixKennyin actuality he needs to meditate- can’t let the what ifs go. Can’t stop dwelling & delving- until his mind forces him. He’s just scraping the bottom of the barrel of his minds to regurgitate what he’s been programmed with- a western rendition of astrological science- an elderly boy if you will. Unable to cope with the “excitement” of the minds ideas- literally needs to shut the f**k up- and ponder the great silence of life. The great concept of “Non-Infliction” in which your own desire to inflict an opinion, a narrative- is just merely an egoic illusion.
Lex, you are the best interviewer on the Internet and have the best most interesting guests. Thanks for getting me into astronomy and cosmology. Opened my eyes up the universe and I’m the most humble I’ve ever been. Glad to see you’re safe!
astroNOMY, not astroLOGY. The two are quite different - to say it mildly.
@@astromikael I’d love to call you names because you had to write under this man’s comment but I’m just going to say, Mikael, I think you’re very smart. Thank you for correcting this man’s comment.
@@andrewkoly gott em
These type of interviews are very eye opening and if everyone in the world watched lex Fridman then the world would be a better place
@@astromikael damn autocorrect haha
For 80 years old, his quickness of wit and his intellect are humbling. He was entirely engaged throughout the interview and he was quick enough to correct the small things and to interject when necessary. How cool. If it takes an implant to achieve this level of longevity of mind I'll be the first in line.
He might be a robot...
Carrot juice.
Maybe it just takes never ending engagement of the brain instead of the fatal passivity older people usually get presses into.
Well this shows you, it does not.
It just so happens he started with a very very big cognitive head start, so even through inevitable cognitive decline he will still be able to hold his own in any conversation
Rees is a great example of why matured elders will always be the default to finding wisdom and sanity in progress. Lex has a great optimism which is normal for being under 40, but once you cross 40 and have some experience with all the generations of life, you realize that science fiction really is fantasy for the most part, it’s just that it’s the fantasies of nerdy boys, but it’s fantasy all the same. No one wants to be cared for by a robot in old age. Before returning to grad school, I worked in hospice and took care of elderly people in institutions. It’s a crime we put them in these homes as if they were a burden on “economy” and progress. Old age exists precisely because we are supposed to develop our consciousness further (beyond the maturation it goes through when you become a parent) by taking care of our mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts. It’s not dirty work. It’s profound and humbling and it’s where we find our deepest wisdom, which the tech utopians most often lack because they’re stuck in their childish fantasies. More elders as guests on the show would be a great balance to the youth Lex is still experiencing. People like Rees have the vital ability to speak sensibly about the future of the human race without the tech sensationalism that often blinds the Musk fanboys (me being one of them). Well done on getting this diamond soul to speak on the podcast!
Lex, I see that your podcasts continue to improve. What is appreciated is the rare combination of the obvious orientation towards truth, and the intellectual fortitude with which to back it. I am humbly grateful.
I’ve meet Martin in the clubhouse of Stanford university about 15 years ago. The introduction was by his senior Baruch Blumberg president of the American Philosophical Society. Baruch found the cure to hepatitis B and saved millions of lives.
Truly this has become one of my favorite, and most shared podcasts- such consistent quality and thought provoking conversations-
I would happily listen to Martin Rees and his rational thinking all day, much better when he's one on one in an interview.
I’m so impressed with the diversity of interviewees on this channel.
Hearing Martin saying: #46:00 "Aliens may have reached a point where while Darwinian evolution favors aggression and intelligence, but after some point of evolution they are past this Darwinian point and evolution does not favor aggression but intelligence more". Then looking his image. He might be some alien creature came here to teach us something.
He inspired me to draw his face. Thanks Lex.
Lex maan I just can't get enough of these intellectual talks! Thank you so much for all the work you out into supplying us with absolutely top notch content. Take care!
Well said!
My thoughts exactly ❤
David Paulides is good too. Missing 411.
This one is incredible
Love your videos and love that I randomly found you in the comments of this particular video 😂
I am using your "advice for young people" in my chemistry class to close out on Fridays. What an awesome question to ask, and what wonderful insight by top minds that is provided to our new generation of scientific thinkers. THANK YOU FOR TIME-STAMPING LEX!!!! I am going to request a 10 minute talk as a guest speaker in my course, but understand this is a very tall ask..... This podcast is the best on UA-cam, BAR NONE!
Interviews like this are why I started listening to podcasts in the first place.
It's great to see a person from an older generation have such an open mind to new and exciting things
I was thinking the same thing about a person of a younger generation.
Open-mindedness often comes with age. It's wisdom born of experience.
You are so fortunate... being able to be face to face with all of these wonderful thinkers. Thanks for choosing to do this.
Wow. What an incredible interview. Thank you, Lex.
Yay another space/alien episode!
@@chuck5419 Isn't it fascinating that with all our intellect, we still have this digital flies to peskier us. We have atom weapons and origami telescopes, it can't be that hard to build an algorithm against bots.
Thank you for the podcast.
I love reading comments on Lex's channel. It is one of the few places on the internet devoid of drama and bickering. Just regular folk grateful for wonderful, inspiring content - a tribe fitting of Lex.
What an amazing discussion. Completely enjoyed this episode.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I think it’s my favourite interview so far. I hope to see you interview Martin again ❤️
What a privilege to be able to listen to Lord Martin Reese. Thank you both so much.

Lex, bring the guitar introduction back please. It sets the tone for the conversations brilliantly.
You have such a healing voice @Lex Fridman. You’d be a great hypnosis therapist, honestly. The energy in your voice is so grounded, it soothes me immediately. There’s a lot to be said for that. Blessings & thank you for another phenomenal interview.
🙏🏼🔥💜🔥🙏🏼
I love how he explains all these questions you ask from him. Simply amazing ! I admire both you ! So much knowledge is explained! Ty for this interview!

Best funny comic strip ever, in my opinion. I was a teenager during the years they were being written. I recall feeling so sad when Bill Watterson announced he was retiring the strip. Spaceman Spiff daydreams by Calvin in Ms. Wormwood's drudgingly boring classroom were exceptionally entertaining to read in the daily comics.

@@user-yv6xw7ns3o I agree 100%.
@@SonicImmersion_ you nailed it - more or less the same boat for me 👍🏻
Lex, I am certain - that as you do these interviews - you see a bit of yourself in your guests and perhaps one day you may be in the other chair, imparting your experience, wisdom and insight so the knowledge-transfer continues onto the next generation of scientists and explorers.
What a tremendous series you continue to grow. We are all the benefactors. Thank you for what you are doing and I hope you remain safe in your travels.
Cool story bro
Beautiful Comment
Wonderfull right.
doubt it, he's a brainlet
How lucky are we that we get to join a conversation and listen to the histories most profound intellectuals?!
These really are the best of times, despite the great challenges that are inherent to any era.
Martin is a Genius. Listening to a genius is like being slapped in the face with reality. I could watch this interview 100 times over. ❤✴️
My favorite thing about Lex's podcast is that the episodes are frequent, and yet still high quality. He has optimized quanitity and quality. Lex has made me rethink so many things in my life, and changed the way I think about the world. I live in Austin and I hope someday I'm able to tell him this in person. While also telling him he needs to get Edward Snowden, Andrew Yang, and someone who can discuss nuclear energy on the podcast!
Incredible conversation 💪 I'm so happy and so proud that I spent so much time learning English that enable watching me podcasts like this one.
I know eh? Knowing English is such an asset!
🎉🎉🎉
Lord Rees has left us such a wonderful legacy, not only in his continued contributions to physics, but also in his brilliant protege Max Tegmark.
Very interesting conversation. Thanks Lex.
I’m surprised I never heard of this man. He is brilliant! Looking forward to reading his literature
His CV is bonkers; top UK astrophysicist in the last 50 years, President of the Royal Society (club for ultra boffins), Master of Trinity College in Cambridge (a sort of mini Harvard or Yale) and a Lord no less so gets to sit in the House of Lords at Westminster in a funny red gown. Well, he earned it I say.
Once again Lex you have stunned me with the scope of your curiosity. It is truly a beautiful thing to behold. Bless you and bless everyone who remains dedicated to the conquest of curiosity.
Lex, your work is brilliant and I love every minute of it!
I think I listen to this weekly. Such a fantastic interview with an amazing mind.
There is no one better than Sir. Rees. Thank you so much Lex.
Now this is information we need. Thank you for the podcast Lex
This gentleman is stellar! Thank you Lex x
Enjoyed listening to Mr Rees
Wow. This interview is a real gem. Thanks, Lex!
I can't think of a better and more informative way of delivering information about life and the universe than a gentle older british professor.
I'm not familar with Martin Rees, but even 5 minutes in I'm totally enraptured
He’s not just an older British professor. He’s the Astronomer Royal! The very top! Well done to get him on! He seemed to be having a very good time and the resulting chat was uplifting and enlightening. Hard work for a non-scientist like me (I’m with his chimps on this!)but I am compelled to try. Very entertaining questions!
Wow! What a awesome interview with brilliant so intelligent people! Damn, I learn so much just following the conversation! So impressive I joined the Pod cast as a Patreon!
Great job Lex thank you for interviewing him. Amazing.
I haven't even seen the episode yet but I'm so excited for this one! Amazing how you reel in these absolute legends Lex. All this with your 'silly' podcast!
Amazing podcast !! A brilliant guest and brilliant stewarding of the conversation by Lex. Such a lot of thought provoking ideas .
Only thing amazing is the amount of BS you can never understand! Rubbish
This installment of "Men in Black" is a little more thought-provoking than some of the previous movies
@Lex you are so smart. You can literally speak to anyone on any topic at any intellectual level. I'm so inspired by you and the way your brain works.
You're the best out there Lex. Best podcasts tthere are. Thank you so much for the education. Me and my sisters and brothers appreciate it. Thanks.
Beautiful human inside and out. We need more like him too. ❤️ Such a broad and recent knowledge and so fresh views on such diverse matters - at 80 years of age.
Thank you for sharing this conversation.
Thanks lex for labeling the topics of your podcasts, I wish everyone took the time to do such things. Thanks for sharing sir
Once again I come home after working my nuts off ( took me 4 hrs to find petrol to get home from the middle of France to Normandy... Total is on strike) and I feel privileged to listen to another wonderful human reminding me that it's not all doom and gloom. What a charming fellow Mr Rees is.
Amazing Channel Lex, You're such an insightful and intelligent interviewer, Thanks so much. We already know the reason for, you know, life the universe and everything though as I'm sure you are aware. Its 42 of course!
Great stuff. Carry on sir.
The ending statement gave me chills, in a good way ☺️ Great discussion!
Love this guy! Great guest!
Fantastic interview, Lex!! You get better and better with every Podcast!!👍🏼
I meant to listen to some of the time stamps, but found myself being irresistibly drawn in to everything else that they were talking about. Excellent discussion.
THANK YOU LEX!!!! YOURE THE BEST!! I didnt expect a podcast from you until tomorrow :) Be safe out there!
Absolutely incredible!!
Somehow I wish I could inhale all this wonderful information at once!!
Thank you so much!!
Lex, you consistently host amazing guests and conduct fascinating interviews. You have introduced me to many people and ideas I might otherwise never heard of. Thank you.
Martin Rees might be the best science communicator at explaining the broad overview of cosmology for the general audience.
It's like Lex talking to Lex in 50 years
Lex Fridman, I love listening to your line of questioning and I'm impressed with your level of knowledge.
Fantastic podcast. Thank you man - for creating these deeply thoughtful, enlightening, and inspiring conversations. People like you give hope to this world. Cheers to many more 🥃🥃
I have one book of his! It's the "From here to Infinity" one, very good! Glad I finally caught him and connected a face to the writing. :)
*caught. Caught him, and connected a face. You don't want to make that mistake if you ever connect with him in person.

@@CincyPharmer What did he type? It wasn't cucked was it?
@@ericcecil989 i wrote catched instead of caught
The volume of knowledge within a single interview is incredible like many of his podcast. On the big bang, factoring in the time dilation due to gravity/velocity is something I can't wrap my head around. Won't the slower wave of matter disappear with reference to those with a much faster timeline?
amazing. i try speak to or arrange meetings with older scienists in my dpt to draw their knowledge on everything.. sometimes its uncomfortable asking physics queries to a biologist professor but the statement of biology is more complex than physics i couldnt agree more and to have articulated it so well.. influential
Martín Rees’ critical thinking and reasoning process is so comforting to hear 🫶🏻
This is one of the best podcasts i've ever listened to, thanks for doing it Lex
Thank you lex. It is huge honor to learn a lot more about universe from you and all the guests you have on. You have been doing incredibly facinating job I think.
I always back you up!
Hands down this podcast produces the most thought provoking conversations on the planet. Phenomenal.
