      +Joe Johnson Elon Musk has scientific credentials and an industrial and commercial track record of success. My education is science, I am completing a PhD in Physics. The man knows what he is talking about. Your conjecture, presented here, has no foundation. Earnestly, why are you wasting your time bashing someone you clearly do not understand? I am only commenting so that others who wander into the comment section don't see your comments and become persuaded that Elon is not legitimate. I'll respond again if you present real thought in your follow-up comments.

      +Joe Johnson mate it's pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Elon lays out nuclear fusion and fission in about the simplest layman's terms possible, and this host can't even follow that much. It's evident he is in no way even remotely close to Elon's breadth of science knowledge and outlook.
      The same can really be said even about the YCombinator boss. I was just sitting there for the whole video, cringing at the kindergarten-like pop-science questions this guy was asking two minds who were clearly on a whole another level

      Musk talks like this in every interview / situation, but once you've seen an interview with a host who has researched his stuff and who can follow his train of thought, you're gonna notice the vast difference in the quality of the hosts if you then watch someone like this hosting instead.

    • @PINGPONGROCKSBRAH
      @PINGPONGROCKSBRAH 9 років тому +34

      +ShaDoWworldshadow If you just let him talk, he tends to say the same things that he says in every interview: why he started Tesla and SpaceX, why he thinks we should go to Mars, how everything nearly went to shit in 2008, etc etc.
      I'm sure for most people that would be fine, but for people like myself who have watched a lot of interviews, it's much more interesting to hear him talk about topics he doesn't usually cover.

    • @autohmae
      @autohmae 9 років тому +1

      +ShaDoWworldshadow the real problem is: the interviewer is an idiot, not a technologist like the persons he's interviewing. Because the persons he's interviewing love to talk about technology it would have been easy to get them going on a whole range of subjects.
      Like Sam Altman says he things voting on phones is possible in 20 years, but as pretty much everyone knows the voting problem is a really hard problem.
      You need to be able to prove to the person that voted that what he/she voted is actually recorded and counted properly, but you also need a something like the secret ballot, so it needs to be anonymous, but you also only want people who are allowed to vote actually do so and you have to have no way to vote multiple times. It's combination which makes it hard. Also you need to have a proper software security (like operating system). Which we in all the years up to now we haven't been able to achieve.

Which means everyone in the valley has huge respect for him. To add even more on to that, he's personally risked his entire fortune multiple times to keep these companies alive, so he's basically the perfect entrepreneur in many ways - or as close as anyone has ever come to such a status.

  • @McMurchie
    @McMurchie 9 років тому +13

    Is it me or did Musk make a calculation error? Musk said you could basically cycle to alpha centur in a few hundred thousand years. So alpha centuri is approx 4 light years away, which in meters is about 4.1315e+16 meters. A human cycles at roughly 15-20 K/PH so about 4 meters per second. Which leaves us about 1.e+16 (approximately) - a lot longer than a few hundred thousands years.

    • @McMurchie
      @McMurchie 9 років тому

      ***** For sure, I think about that a lot too. I mean for all we know, there could be a significant' technological barrier preventing civilizations from reaching part luminal speeds. One thing that keeps coming back is the vast vast distances between starts, alpha centuri is 4 light years but its estimated the closest rocky earth like planet is 20 + light years. I double checked my figures as I did physics at uni, pretty sure that was a slip up on his part, but yea the logic is still more than sound.

    As annoyed as everyone here who came to listen to either Musk or Altman is by the interviewer. I sank into my chair when he asked Elon if he wants to leave Earth because of global warming. I feel you! But you have to understand his platform. They're recording this for Vanity Fair. Their readers would probably be more interested in Elon's blazer and who he's dating and Altman's shoe lace selection. I do think the whole deal would've been a lot more interesting if the two of them just talked and talked for an hour without being interrupted by magazine questions.
