Dr. Alex Filippenko (University of California, Berkeley) reviews his fascinating research career in astronomy, focusing on his work with black holes and with active galaxies and supernovae (exploding stars) -- and their role in helping us determine the ultimate fate of the universe. He also talks about some of the circumstances and people that influenced his work as a scientist, about the importance of education and outreach for the public support of science, and about his work to help ensure the future of Lick Observatory, the first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory in the world. - Наука та технологія
What a nice guy, seriously. Thank you for giving us this great video! Our brains soaking in all the knowledge from these great minds.
Ahhhh! Good ol’ Alex. The man who doesn’t know how NOT to smile!!!
a great educator and communicator -- so fun to watch/listen to, and such an amazing career!
Thank you for the wonderful talk. Always a delight to watch and lsiten too as an mp3 podcast.
Thanks for uploading :)
THIS GUY MAKES ME WANT TO MOVE OUT WEST AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL...MUCH LUV FROM N.AUGUSTA S.C
Muh man Filippenko bringin it!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice. Thanks for posting
Great podcast folk. Been listening for years.
Awesome 🌟 guy always great personality and at explaining everything
Thanks Alex, you're the boss!
Great lecture!
Look, I too wanted more of a lecture on black holes, never the less I ended up watching and enjoying it anyway. You see, I overlooked the title 'a life in science'. I also did not read the description...and there's a good chance the same applies to the people complaining in this comment section :P
I like this dude - smart guy and a great lecturer who makes his subject sound human and exciting which is very hard to do. I also just wanted to say the barnet he sports (his hair) is fantastic for a 60 year old, very sure he has it too long just to make us balding younger guys jealous - and we are! P.S. when you getting Garth Illingworth back on?
He's done tons of cable documentaries. He's like the B-Celebrity tier of astrophysicists. Ya know, when Brian Green and Neil Degrasse Tyson aren't available but your stage can't handle the sass of Lawrence Krauss.
@@Draliseth i love that "the sass of Krauss" I have seen this guy before on some docus - but its nice to see him here like a boss. I don't agree he is b-grade. You forget sometimes that these "popularists" often are hardworking scientists doing stuff we rarely hear about as its not very "popular". Plus guys like this do so much importnat work making science accessable for kids + stuff. Its not all about wearing "hipster" clothing and trying to be cool. As this man clearly shows, he doesnt even have the time to get a cool haircut hes so damned busy. Respect.
@@Draliseth He is the opposite of a B-tier astrophysicist. Look up the number of citations he has on google scholar and you'll see that professor Filippenko is a "rock star" in the astrophysics world. He is much more cited in scientific papers than the typical divulgators we are used to see in documentaries. To the general public he might not be very popular, to the professional astrophysicist he is a very well known and respected figure.

Read moar harder.
The single most influential telescope of all times is not Wilson. It's Hubble, or Plank.
Saturn through a telescope is quite literally fantastic and or phenomenal... :)
Yay Alex is tops
35 minutes just to find out who he is and what he's done and not done.
Crieky!
Some people have a bitchy face this guy has the smiley face you gotta love it
is that what doing what you love looks like?
And he was on the Universe
...the spatula rubbed against the bottom of the petri dish...
3:54 Start of Lecture.
A question for someone who managed to sit through to the end: when the actual lecture begins? I stopped watching at 22 min.
Sadly this series is getting less and less of quality.
Go Flippy !
Begins at 3:40
So far the most powerful phenomena in the Universe are Quasars. They are beyond comprehension - and they are so far into the red shift its ridiculous. Phewwww Doggie!!!!
Thought this was a space lecture. Not this is your life...boo
Starts at 3:55
he's full of it
eventually its all too obvious they are all trying to shed light on black holes... this dot . is also equivalent thank God
They’re invisible because they do not exist

Lots of chitter-chatter. I was expecting a lecture, not autobiography.
" Black holes, exploding stars and the runaway universe.." I've slid foward to 39.22 and he is still blabbering about himself...?
i still think the moon is made of cheese........
apparently it's not all cheese. at least, that's what I've been led to believe.
@@phoule76 i'm optimistic thinking about all the mac n cheese future astronauts will enjoy....
Establishment actor comic not scientist :(
If you say so.
I'm 26 minutes in to this. Been skipping forward bit by bit. Thought this was going to be scientific. Not a self congratulatory biography of a guy.
Ahh, you must've also skipped over the subtitle that reads " ... A Life in Science".
And, as Andrew Fraknoi states in most introductions, one of the guiding principles of the SVA series is public outreach in "non-technical language". For someone claiming to be interested in science, you don't think or research things very deeply.
