I lost my dad two months ago to a motorcycle accident. We lived far apart but we’d constantly share podcasts and UA-cam videos about space exploration and sci fi together.
Both of you have been a huge part of that. Thank you for the content you guys produce. It means more than you might realize. ❤
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I ride a motorcycle and my daughter worries
🫂🫂
Dangggg kaonium...
so sorry for your loss...
😢
Me and my pops are separated by distance too and it has for a very long time now.. just like your pops and yourself with loving the topic and sharing podcasts and whatnot, we have been doing the same thing and we both love it! So I can entirely relate. He also loves motorcycles (dirt bikes to be exact😊) i recently kinda pulled away from talking to him because of his drinking but after reading your post here I’m going to reach back out.
Thank you for your post and I hope time heals all your wounds.
Sending love and peace to your heart and to your family’s
@@akaROOSTA You really should. Whatever challenges you have had, it’s so worth letting those go. Take the opportunity while you have it. Much love for you and your pops ❤️
Isaac + JMG is futurism UA-cam's The Avengers.
That's my secret cap, I'm always futurism!
Event-gers
Lmmmmmmmmaaaaoooo
No. Marvel sucks
Isaac Arthur + JMG + Fraser Cain + Arvin Ash
You bring such an EPIC show to the podcast world. Thank you so much. What an awesome collab.
I love that they talked about the zombie apocalypse, they should try playin Project Zomboid
I could listen to you two together all day. Literally my favorite thing on UA-cam. Best wishes to both of you.
Michael Crichton couldn't seem to write an ending worth a damn in the vast majority of his books... but _Sphere_ had one of the best sci-fi horror endings I think I've ever read. Highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good read.
Sphere was one of my favorite novels of his and one of my fav books in general. Good call. I wonder how it is on audiobook.
This is exactly the kind of science/science fiction blend that appeals to a very wide audience hungry for the best of both. The seasonal twist is sauce for the goose 🖖
sauce you say?
Space elevator won't be possible unless you take care of space junk
One of my favorite guests. Thanks!
Happy Halloween Strick!
@EventHorizonShow You, too!
I don't think they'd throw you out the airlock when you died. You'd get composted and recycled.

SMAC is one of the best horror games ever made.
Cixin Liu's Trilogy, "Three-body Problem", "The Dark Forest", and "Death's End" are a must read.
The whole dimension change to 2d was for some reason one of the most frightening ideas I've encountered as a way to go.
My favorite guest 👍
These guys are part of the Bridge Crew of my dream colony ship.
The Thing is the best horror sci-fi movie in my humble opinion.
I think we'll get gravity manipulation tech before we have space elevators, rendering them obsolete.
Did someone say SCOTT MANLY??
DID SOMEONE SAY COLLABORATE WITH SCOTT MANLY?????
I love when you guys reference Mass Effect or sci fi in video games. Its super relatable!
I love it when my subscriptions intersect.
Irishman Sam Neill was amazing in Event Horizon.
Greetings from the west coast of Ireland 🇮🇪
Greetings!
Sam Neill is my favorite male actor. Guy is great in everything he does.
Man it's kinda comforting to know that isaac and JMG are also futurist tech luddites who keep the eldritch entity known as pad and paper nearby at all times.

Imagine an intergalactic space war run by AI-governed civilizations fighting over a proper way to maximize paperclips
I love listening to Event Horizon. These guys have superhuman imaginations and they talk about things that haven't been proven yet, but have to be real because of high probability, and scientific evidence. Some of these podcasts have left me absolutely mind blown.
Oh my god, it finally happened. The two best UA-camrs have united!
It’s happened many times!
@EventHorizonShow It has?! I'm newer to the show. I guess I'll be looking at episodes past!
@@benrichards1694you're in for a treat ❤️
As creatures we evolved in an environment of challenge and struggle, a utopian heaven would bore us.
I imagine this is what Asimov and Verne with Lovecraft chiming in all doing a podcast would sound like. You guys are great.
Arthursday and Isaac Arthur with JMG on my birthday.
Thanks
Happy birthday!!
The bit about staying awake and occupied on a long-term asteroid spaceship trip around 17:00 reminded me of Hugh Jackman's character in "The Fountain" where he's flying through space in his little bubble with his Tree of Life, eating bits of it for immortality and living as a kind of Buddhist monk doing Tai Chi and meditating for centuries while he waits for his arrival at the Xibalba nebula. Always loved that film.
Also, what if humanity is currently in a cryosleep right now heading to a new world, and this life we have right now is a dream simulation of living on our old planet with all its major social, economic and environmental issues, the point being to have some fresh insights before we wake up to our new homeworld? Would be nice, maybe.
Thank you both for taking the time to get together and sharing your ideas with us. It's always awesome!
The real aliens were the colonies we made along the way.
Really enjoyed this discussion guys. Lots to think about as i head to bed
Hyperscience, nanomachines, advanced cyrogenics: now we can conquer the stars and crawlonize the galaxy!
JMG: Finally, the uber nap!
Quatermass and the pit , was a great sci-fi horror movie from the 60s.
AHAH, Event Horizon, the movie ...
Scariest movie i ever saw is Idiocracy
too real....
I really liked Space: above and beyond. Very underrated show. The Chigs were really obscure.
That episode where the guy and the Chig crash land and spend the whole time hunting each other...no dialogue. That show was unique.
Charming enjoyable conversation that perks fantasies of event horizons for astronomy and mystery lovers
Love seeing a cross between Isaac Arthur and John Michael Godier.
Please do a video about escapism problems that arrive with future technology. * wakes up in 2080 “ this sucks” * Goes back to cryo-sleep “ wakes up in 3150 “ this sucks go back to sleep”
Godier and Arthur in a show? My God! The singularity has happened again!
Thank you for the channel🎄 and merry Christmas to all
Pathetically excited at getting a 40k reference ... The Event Horizon DEFINITELY dropped into the Warp and met the Gods of Chaos :P
Please don't let be another year before you meet again. GREAT EPISODE 😊
"I am Legend" is one of the best books ever written! When I first read it, I cried at how good it was and how bad the movie was. Honestly, I had been lied to when they said the movie was better than the book. Totally wrong.
I am legend is one of the best examples of "opposites ends of the spectrum" in term of how good they are.
Depends on the movie! "The Last Man on Earth" is a great film, and "the Omega Man" isn't bad either. The 2007 version had it's moments, Will Smith was good, he's quite charismatic; The scenes of deserted NYC were eerie... but yeah, the rest was terrible.
I've read the book when I was 14 and then saw the movie some time later, thought it was one of the scariest movies ever. Just the concept of the story freaks me the fuck out.
It's also they didn't stick to the book material. Not zombies, but vampires. And it could have worked as zombies, had they stuck to the material. The alternative ending to the film was much better than the theatrical ending.@@brick6347
I like Omega Man but it's not a good adaptation of the book.

When you don't survive the generation ship journey because you ate too much banana pudding at the going away party.
Since I spent Thursday talking with Kip Thorne, this is only the 2nd best Science/Sci Fi discussion for me this week.
That sounds like a great time. How is Kip?
@@EventHorizonShow Doing well, Still has his wits and sense of humor. He was invited to talk about his work on Oppenheimer, and LIGO, we both sponsor the event which promotes Proper portrayal of science in Movies and TV, and the video should be posted soon. I had a nice private chat with him after his Q&A. Many people forget that Oppenheimer did a lot of work on Black Hole formation before the A-Bomb and he was one of Kip's mentors.
My absolute two favorite people on all of UA-cam. They should do a channel together! ❤❤❤
OMG im gushing over this top
I really enjoyed this talk, and I would love to get more.
Golovachev had this horror-like concept of a distant bright future but with the very fabric of the universe going wrong, making the initial manifests of it doing all kinds of solar-system-wide catastrophes hinting at the actual scale of looming doom. He invented some sy-fy tech in those books not seen anywhere since btw.
My two favourite UA-camrs together again, what a wonderful day.
I think the book Snowcrash deals with nanite swarms and other swarms that deal with those swarms and more swarms to deal with those and on and on. I always found that interesting along with ICE and Black ICE from william Gibsons sprawl series. Those are two of my favorite science Fuction "tropes"? I guess they could be called now. I just found ICE and Black ICE very conpleling since i grew up working with computers and at internet based companies.
Revealing the villain or how the sausage is made is not the problem with writing horror. The key to horror is that what people find horrifying is claustrophobia. Create scenes in tight spaces and close combat.
I can never look at paper clips the same way ever again.
I started reading Iaian Banks 'culture' series a few months ago. Really interesting to speculate about the integration of A.G.I. into a society and the sociological integration of a sentient creation. I'm not sure if the series explores a more blatant dystopian potential or realization associated with A.G.I (I'm only on book 5, 'excession' ). Excession seems to water the seeds planted in some of the previous books that the minds have an agenda that the culture is willfully or otherwise unaware of. I droned on, but I had to delete because I don't want to start throwing out spoilers. Great series of novels nonetheless. I'm interested to know what John's and Isaac's impressions are of this series...
Event Horizon + Isaac Arthur wow ❤ together you can rule the galaxy
Holy snikes!!! Two of my favorite content creators teaming up for a video! Awesome!
Isaac I'm with you. I spent 14 months in Iraq with a Marine Division, and boring is 100%, absolutely fine by me. I'm a trader too, and trading is 90% boredom/patience. I dont need anymore excitement in my life.
So much for "Live forever or die trying."
Iaian Banks' Culture civilization would be an awesome place to live.
I feel like a space elevator would be a tube, basically a triangle of maybe graphene rolled so it's thickened at the top but the interior diameter is constant. It could be pretty tough against anything but a concerted attack. And multiple tubes could be clustered to give throughput in each direction, and different sizes for different types - like passengers and freight.
This episode was great! Like just hanging out with the guys, drinking beer, and talking all-things sci-fi 😁
Spooky future stories for the spooky season. Thanks to you both for keeping the world's imagination that much more open to the possibilities.
John, don't worry about it. You can come stay at my compound, you and your kin. Minds like yours must be protected. You let me handle the warlord of the wastes aspect, you keep looking at the stars.
I watched the movie "Event Horizon" on TV as an adult with other adult friends and I must warn all of you: IT IS VERY SCARY!
YESSSSS i love you guys together
This is so wholesome. Crack open a cold one and just chill and talk with the guys. Great segment.
A trip around the universe and some philosophy about it. Thank you both! 👁
At the end of a day of mondain boring work, getting something not only from Event Horizon, not only from Isaac Arthur, but BOTH TOGETHER? Did I die and go to heaven?
Wow Isaac. Good job on the voice traing my man!😊
14:27 :) I am listening this while playing Civilization III during a period of insomnia.
You don't make a space elevator because you want the cheapest orbital access - After all, launch loops and orbital ring systems are way cheaper. No, you do it because you can DANGLE a whole city-scale space habitat on the other end, that means your counterweight is also a major location with millions of people living there. Even if it's low-throughput, the one tether invites more tethers, since it's a major location anyway.
9:28 - with Peter Watts's Blindsight I felt like he was able to constantly feed the reader information and it stayed interesting just based on how many novel threads were evolving and (spoiler) he kept just enough back for there to be worthwhile surprises.
Isaac says he’s never published a work of fiction in his entire life? I disagree. Publishing isn’t limited to papers, books or print media. UA-cam is a publishing platform too. He’s made many videos from a hypothetical future persons point of view describing their life, work & possible experiences. This is still fiction even if it’s grounded as much as possible in hard science. Honestly, myself, I prefer grounded sci-fi to space opera. Star Wars will always be my favourite flick but it’s genre is filled with less than stellar works. Stories & shows like The Expanse & the Galactica reboot make it so much easier to suspend disbelief as there’s less fantasy to obfuscate. I was really hoping Disney would make a grounded Black Hole reboot. Looks like they’ve dropped it. It’s a shame. A modern version of the Cygnus hanging next to a gravity well & more adult friendly robots could’ve made for some real spectacle with thought provoking science.
Lifeforce from 1985 with Patrick Stewart could be worth watching. It has astronauts, aliens and zombies!
My favorite UA-cam duo!!! Love you guys! ❤❤❤
My doctor told me not to take Multiple sleeping pills togather. But I couldn't resist these two Giants pondering togather.
I'm more worried about getting "bored" staying here on Earth!
Event Horizon! Yes! And In the Mouth of Madness is another great!
My favorite horror movies are Alien and Jaws. Perfect 10/10
I’ve thought about being put in a sleep state - but I was recently put in a drug induced sleep/coma in the hospital for 2 months. It took me many weeks to learn how to walk again and almost all my muscles in my legs I lost, all over really. I can’t imagine a year or longer. I had no idea 2 months had passed, I really thought it was the next morning, the dreams I remember were out of this world, of course I’m sure the drugs had something to do with them.
What a great podcast. I found you via isaac years ago on your other channel sir John. So nice too see the both of you together considering yall are my fav creators ❤
My two favorite UA-camrs talking to each other - epic!
this is the team-up i was waiting for
I didn't even read the title, 59 seconds into it and I'm like. I know that voice...
I loved The Color Out Of Space, i thought it was a really good modern adaptation of a Lovecraft story that freaked me out as a teenager.
My biggest futurism hope is a John and Issac joint podcast.
55:00 that's an interesting idea Jean-Luc
Star Trek... almost utopian science fiction. Close enough.
I am gushing over this episode ahhh
Wonderful show.❤
Glad to know someone else still plays Civ 4 😆
The Super Mario Bros. of science and futurism, reunited at last. 🤩🤩
A hanging tether would be secured to the ground somehow, so it would push up, also.
Been waiting for this for a long time , thank you!
Christmas came early this year, boys
Saaaaaaweeeet!!!
This was GREAT! Please do Again!
Yay hes back!
Is the Opossum available for an interview? 😄
That movie _Event Horizon_ is a great fable in disguise. You can go ANYWHERE in the universe if you're willing to go through hell to get there.
Libera te tutemet ex inferis
Such a nice long and interesting episode! It’s always a treat to hear Isaac Arthur! The idea of being frozen and revitalized at a later period of time is quite fascinating. The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu is perhaps my favorite series that covers the topic.
Best combo!
Wow this is some amaze amaze amaze content right there
As kids If we mentioned being bored my mother always said only boring people get bored. Stuck with me to this day
Great show.....I will listen again soon.
