      _Apart from_ his pronunciation of "ashume" instead of 'assume' I'd agree... That he was inspired by and respectful of the late Carl Sagan, makes him even nicer to me. (yes, am biased, sorry!!) 🤭

      It has no rain. It has virgas. Nothing reaches surface because it's so hot down there. Cox is either ignorant on this or deliberately dumbs interesting things down.

    Complex life is extreemly improbable.
    The universe is aggresively hostile to life. The only planet that we know supports life is even better at extinguishing it.
    Our star at this point in time is 'uniquely' nuturing.
    The long series of steps that could lead to complex life each require outrageous, almost impossible luck.. the kind of luck that to most sensible people could only mean; its not just some outrageous bit of good fortune, there is a deliberate hand behind all this & its by design.
    We are alone.

    If we’re in a simulation (and we probably are) what does that mean to astronomers and physicists? If it IS a simulation, is the universe we see a copy of the one from where the simulation was created? Or is it just totally randomized? Or something else?

    Is Prof. Cox in this series? I started watching the first episode on NOVA and he's not in it at all. In fact, it's written and produced like ALL American science shows... like it's talking to a 3rd grader. Useless and pointless to anyone over the age of 9. Turned it off after about 15 minutes. Don't need to bother with that shit again.

    I don't understand where he gets the idea that you'd get squashed into a pancake and dissolved on Venus. A physicist would know that fluid pressure (such as an atmosphere acting on us) crushes from all sides equally, and since most of our body is a mixture of solid and liquid, phases with very low compressibility, we would not turn into pancakes. It's not a huge anvil falling on us, it's not directional pressure.
    Also, there is no liquid sulfuric acid on Venusian surface. It falls as virgas - rain which never reaches surface because it evaporates away into gas.
    A science popularizer should not peddle science myths.

      Yeah, good points... and he will know all of this. But, honestly, it's enough that these days ANYONE in the general public is watching a science documentary instead of doom-scrolling on TikTok, so I'd give him a pass for choosing to avoid details that are a bit dry for a mainstream audience. Y'know?
