Outer space passed our exosphere the 4th layer of our atmosphere which is around 2000 miles out the I.S.S. is up around 260 miles for comparison the temperature passed this point in outer space is - 455 degrees Fahrenheit --- Quantum computers to achieve quantum state run at - 457 degrees Fahrenheit --- A thinker for my friend Lex Fridman
And for me, above all, it's the visible hard work that Lex puts into getting his research right. I really like it when he has his little notes throughout some interviews, these topics ain't easy to just jump into.
Hmm I been picking up on how he prefers lefty things. When has Bruce Springsteen been liked by conservatives? The left and so called liberals are more akin to a death-cult now days. Love you bro!
The quality of guest Lex gets is of such a high level. I can't remember one that hasn't captivated me. I'm sure Lex asks questions for us as well. He knows the answers but leads the conversation to make it as interesting and informative as possible and creates a platform for the guest to shine sometimes sacrificing his own ego and feigning ignorance on a subject to ensure a great interview. Bravo Lex.
agree...I love space...my favorite topic to study...all the elite guys though are so bad at actually relaying information to people who don't have access to the things they do. it is so frustrating sometimes..this guy is phenomenal...
@@andreas0101 agreed but I’d advice him to let the air flow out more relaxed. He sounds a bit pressed, held back. It gets better as the podcast goes on.
Batygin seems like such a patient, thoughtful dude. Loved hearing him just let the knowledge flow out. Even when things were veering off in directions he wasn't interested in exploring, he found a way to relate where he could and debate where he felt he needed to.
This is by far the best interview of Batygin I've ever seen, and I've seen them all! Very well done with organized questions and good graphics. It's a long interview, but it's chuck full of very good information for Planet Niners. There's also a good personal chemistry between Fridman and Batygin, which helps. Very well done sir!
I am in love with the passion that man has for physics. Such an intelligent individual. He puts a smile on my face just watching him explain the information in that brilliant brain of his.. I cam tell he is in love with physics. I'm so glad he is doing what he loves.
I watch Konstantin Batygin on "How the Universe works" and I just love how excited he is about his work and about the Universe as a whole. So glad I found your podcast Lex! You have a great line-up of interviews and you are doing great work! Keep it up!!
I learnt more from the First Hour of this podcast than the Astronomy paper I paid $900 for at The University of Auckland This guy makes it extremely easy to understand/visualize the process of space and time.
I think that was possibly the most touching intro to any podcast I've ever seen. Bravo Lex, ever since seeing you on JRE you piqued my interest and I have yet to be disappointed. You have my much earned like and subscription.
Konstantin is incredible-- I am so happy to have him in the public realm for science education and storytelling-- seems like such a humble, regular (really, really smart of course) guy who likes to explain his science. Mike Brown had me at Sedna, but Batygan is his own entirely promising media presence. @Lex. I have to hand it to you man-- that was an unreal interview. It's like you knew you had a guy that found a planet and made as much good use of your time as possible. Kudos. Great watch
Not a bot. Love your content. You’re the most authentic content creator that ever existed. I genially love you as a human being and you continue to inspire me. Thank you
two Brilliant Russian immigrants in conversation! I have lived in Moscow for 29 years and appreciate the intellect, sincerity and openness of these two guys.
They're American that come from russian substrate you cease being an immigrant when you uphold it's culture, philosophy and take responsibility not for the all good that happened but for all bad stuff, immigrant is the one who primarily cherrypicks and then he's either assimilating, nothing to do with naturalistion or remains an Immigrant but I believe it's an American Outlook on thinks in England if you consider yourself English you're English.
Me too, unless its inappropriate when talking about greef subjects. Now let me be clear, this man is not guilty of this, but to me it seems that this phenomenon is occuring more and more.
3 роки тому+1
I saw that too! 😂 I guess he's just a happy guy! It must be the love he has for his work!
Id be laughing to if I was paid quite well for preaching complete nonsense that claims to be hard science yet is mostly based on wild imagination and assumptions. Basically wild guesses.
I hope to see Konstantin back on the podcast. This was great and there's so, so much more astronomy and astrophysics of our solar system to explore in conversation!
Let me tell you lex. You're on another level my man, I always even look back at previous work of yours and im always fascinated by it. Keep doing your thing
Konstantin is an excellent guest. He is a multi-faceted expert and a well educated person, including but not limited to science/physics (and more), mathematics and most interesting is how well versed Konstantin is in the humanities. His dialogue towards the end about the importance of not being clone of the high-grades, superior resume and entitled ‘A’ graduates. When cancer derailed my career at 57 I had been on my own for 10 years, after a full corporate career. I obtained the title of Senior Executive, as part of the 6 person leadership team that together took the company public into a phenomenal IPO. My peers went to he great schools Harvard, Princeton, Yale. Once at a meeting that included the CEO (Harvard) a very important new client. I was asked where I got my masters degree, I looked up from the conference room table and said, ‘You mean PhD and that I earned at the best school there is for learning how to solve complex problems, ‘The University of La Strada.’ CEO looked at the new client and said, ‘There is nothing that I would not trust that Peter would accomplish if he said he could. There is no job too difficult or overwhelming. His veracity alone is legendary, all the while juggling infinite balls in the air while doing it.” I attribute this to having a full rich life, before I decided I wanted to go from a 37 year old technical writer to partner in one decade. I did it. As Konstantin did as well. You too can do this if you can manage your time and ego. Listening to Lex’s podcast is a great place to start.
Lex, your podcast is really developing into an incredible hub of fascinating topics and guests. Please, whatever you do, don't let anyone fuck this up.
So nice to see a podcast with such consistent, even delivery of high quality information. The lack of drama and antics is absolutely welcome. Well done and thank you for the deep dive. Congrats to you and the guest, even if it was 3yrs ago.
In ten years, Lex Fridman and I are going to be the smartest, most well-informed people on the planet. Unless there’s somebody else that’s listening these interviews, as well.
Lex, thanks for welcoming the witty, talented, and interesting Konstantin to Lex's Machine, for us outsiders looking in. Pink Floyd is the Best. I'm impressed you two Whipper Snappers know your music history.
WhenI was in Afghanistan years ago as a young man, i carried a bunch of music casette tapes of 60s hits, groups. The one song young Afghans found so compelling even though they didn't know the lyrics was Johnny Cash's Long Black Veil. I constantly had to interpret the lyrics into Farci for them, which they found even more interesting.
What a wonderful, captivating and educational episode. The topics covered in this specific episode were exactly what keeps me awake late at night, each and every one of them. Congratulations!
For a layman like me who's very interested in Planet Nine and the birth of our SOLAR system (not even counting the travel of the Sun in the Milky Way) THis is so understandable, when explained by Batygin. I will be watching this over and over again just to absorb the parts that I may have missed. Great INterview, and great interpretation and questions by Lex, GOOD JOB.
Finally some one who uses logical probability in deducing if there’s life outside this planet. I would like to work with these people and absorb their knowledge.
@@irony9234 but if you think you know it, it's not an illogical probability and how do you know Konstantin's probability is logical by your definition you would need to know everything to be sure his probability is logical (by your definition)
@@goyonman9655 I’m not all knowing. But for example the woman he interviewed about Life and Alien life said she didn’t think Aliens would travel here because “what’s the point?” & “it would take too long”. It’s that sort of limited thinking I’m talking about. Superior vehicles that travel much much much faster are theoretically and problematically inevitable. its going to become a reality and it will completely shut down that idea down. And what’s the point? There doesn’t need to be a point. That type of technology can teach us more than we understand today about something as simple as gravity. Nothing is concrete in the form of ideas, evolution is forever, with or without us. So nothing should be discounted, and many “scholars” do just that. And that’s what I find illogical.
Now I understand why you guys had so easy to talk to each other, both with Russian background. I very much enjoyed you guys playing on the razors edge between serious topics and just having fun! I wonder if there is a Guiness World Record for talking to most scientists? Impressive Lex!
Great interview Lex. You are always well prepared and your questions are always interesting and relevant to the discussion at hand. I listen to every interview. You treat your guests with respect and also seem able to bring out their human side. Well done.
What a fascinating man to listen to. I think this may be the first time I have heard a scientist he honestly state that we don't really know how life originates. ( I'm sure others do. I just haven't heard them). I appreciate that.
Awesome podcast again Lex, amazing that you are able to ask such great questions, of amazing guests, and do it so often. Hard to keep up with the pods. Thumbs up
EN Oh, my god! My pre-PhD heart is often pulse because Konstantin and Lex started russian-speach. My God! I teared after Lex's question: "Do you speak russian" - and It started discussion. It's SO touching, Lex! Russians are with love watches and listens Konstantin's speeches and interview in eng. RU Етить-колотить! Моë кандидатское сердешко застучало чаще, когда Константин и Лекс стали говорить по-русски. Боже, я слезу пустила на моменте, когда Лекс спросил "Ты по-русски говоришь?" - и они стали общаться! Это слишком трогательно. Россия с любовью смотрит и слушает Константина на английском.
@twism11 Ok, I can. Lex: Do you speak russian? Konstantin: Yeah, sure. L: What are you remember about Russia? K: Literally, I remember... I was 8 years old, on the moment of leaving from Russia. And... Sure... I remember on the first sight all period of 1991-1992. It was time of turbulence. And 1993, yeah. And, also... I very good remember moment of starting PEPSI-COLA in Russia. And second was Coca-Cola. And... I thought, that... I was 6 years old... I thought: why? Why as possible, that Coca-Cola company filched PEPSI-COLA product? Er? What? And I thought a long time, that PEPSI-COLA and Coca-Cola was create in 1992.
@@twism11 позвольте спросить (если Вы не против), а почему вы у других, кто пишет русские комментарии, спрашиваете перевод диалога Константина и Лекса? Интересно сравнить разницу?
I had no idea the Oort Cloud was 3D. I thought it was on the same plane as all the planets. That explains how the comets enter into and cross our orbit so much.
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
Lex is becoming my favorite podcaster asks probing questions, including those difficult and even impossible to comment on he likes to treat subjects that are mysterious and just now expanding into serious studies UFOs are a good example
Too small or too big…. There is a problem. In a long enough timeframe, I really wonder our solar systems future. Are we a blink in a rare occurrence. All of animal life is soooo tiny it means nothing. No ruins or markers. We just become more dirt and dust to a new thing
@@Mmmmkaaay “ that’s like your opinion man”- The Dude Per every woman that has ever had the pleasure of receiving multiples they say contrary, in fact they say it take a cosmic combination of both 🤷🏽♂️
So good! One of my favorite interviews. As per usual after absorbing your show, I feel smarter and spiritually richer. I had no idea how vast a territory it is that our little Sun governs. Loved the ps4 tangent.
First Kipping now Batygin? I'd pay good money to listen to either one. Where else can you find quality talks like this? As a hard-core astronomy geek I deeply appreciate what you're doing.
It’s so crazy seeing intellectual conversations between two cutting edge scientists having tangents about Skyrim and RDR2 lol. The younger video game generation has finally grown up 🥲

Yes, great work Lex, extremely helpful when trying to visualize
Yes it really is great!
Loved it also. I just don't know how he finds enough hours in the day!!

Wtf??????
Dude the guests, topics, conversations lately! You’re killing it brother
And for me, above all, it's the visible hard work that Lex puts into getting his research right. I really like it when he has his little notes throughout some interviews, these topics ain't easy to just jump into.
@immafinna betryna Joe is entertainment. With Lex I feel like he really cares about the topics and learning from the guests.
best interviewer of our generation
I agree 100%.
Other than this dude needing to clear his got damn throat or a little more effort to speak.....it was a badass podcast!
Just had to say Konstantin is awesome. So easy to listen to. And sometimes I even understand the topic :)
😂
Lex is my favorite person in the whole world. Love his humility and his genuine love of people.
not love, but i got shit tons of respect for that guy. he seems to be a legitimate "good person"
Hmm I been picking up on how he prefers lefty things. When has Bruce Springsteen been liked by conservatives? The left and so called liberals are more akin to a death-cult now days. Love you bro!
love him when he's a bit wasted
The quality of guest Lex gets is of such a high level. I can't remember one that hasn't captivated me. I'm sure Lex asks questions for us as well. He knows the answers but leads the conversation to make it as interesting and informative as possible and creates a platform for the guest to shine sometimes sacrificing his own ego and feigning ignorance on a subject to ensure a great interview. Bravo Lex.
Most profound sentence for whole episode, " failure is not a sign that the initial persuit was worthless".
Yes, since life has to go on in one or the other pretext(!)
creative way of rationalizing failure
@@mtklaric Exactly. Only when you are paid by government grants can you have this kind of attitude.
@@Dan.50 so true
indeed
This guest is awesome. The way he explains this shit is perfect.
Yeah, He got a nice voice.
agree...I love space...my favorite topic to study...all the elite guys though are so bad at actually relaying information to people who don't have access to the things they do. it is so frustrating sometimes..this guy is phenomenal...
The way he explains it is irritating.
Leave vocal fry for the kardashians and teenage girls.
You got billions of objects if not more, and it's been collisionless for a billion years? Horse shit! 100% assumption BS.
@@andreas0101 agreed but I’d advice him to let the air flow out more relaxed. He sounds a bit pressed, held back. It gets better as the podcast goes on.
Batygin seems like such a patient, thoughtful dude. Loved hearing him just let the knowledge flow out. Even when things were veering off in directions he wasn't interested in exploring, he found a way to relate where he could and debate where he felt he needed to.
Lex please get Konstantin back on, I have watched this so many times i know it verbatim. Much love brother.
This conversation is so incredibly refreshing. Talking about science, games, music...that's exactly my own neck of the woods. Thank you, Lex
"I wanna know what life is, and I want you to show me." And with a straight face yet! Great guest with a sense of humor. Thx Lex for another winner.

I was waiting for “Have you ever been to the desert? Yes… I rode horse… but I can’t remember the horse’s name.”
@@jeffg4570 Life's just a song;)
The answer is 42. He answered the question. But do you know where the question came from?
I think the song goes,” I wanna know what love is,💕 I want you to show me” what was the name of that band? Any takers?
This is by far the best interview of Batygin I've ever seen, and I've seen them all! Very well done with organized questions and good graphics. It's a long interview, but it's chuck full of very good information for Planet Niners. There's also a good personal chemistry between Fridman and Batygin, which helps. Very well done sir!
So if there are 49 of your you could be called niner 49rs. Hehehe
Is Planet 9 from outer spac-er a thing?
Yeah
I'm going to listen to this a second time just to fully absorb this conversation. I love these mind blowing topics about space!!!
Konstantin is the coolest person ever. Smart. Eloquent. Respectful. Insightful. Wonderful guest
I am in love with the passion that man has for physics. Such an intelligent individual. He puts a smile on my face just watching him explain the information in that brilliant brain of his.. I cam tell he is in love with physics. I'm so glad he is doing what he loves.

Auckland yeah You tube taught me heaps
Ha that'
IS OK good to me lol I 88 7ish
Auckland uni is a woke joke bro
I'm still here 8 months later watching this for around the 5th time and still I learn something new everytime.

Is there "illogical probability"
@@goyonman9655 yea. When people make limited assumptions based on the things we think we know. Like many Hypotheses.
@@irony9234 but if you think you know it, it's not an illogical probability
and how do you know Konstantin's probability is logical by your definition
you would need to know everything to be sure his probability is logical (by your definition)
@@goyonman9655 I’m not all knowing. But for example the woman he interviewed about Life and Alien life said she didn’t think Aliens would travel here because “what’s the point?” & “it would take too long”. It’s that sort of limited thinking I’m talking about. Superior vehicles that travel much much much faster are theoretically and problematically inevitable. its going to become a reality and it will completely shut down that idea down. And what’s the point? There doesn’t need to be a point. That type of technology can teach us more than we understand today about something as simple as gravity. Nothing is concrete in the form of ideas, evolution is forever, with or without us. So nothing should be discounted, and many “scholars” do just that. And that’s what I find illogical.
@@goyonman9655 We can play this game all day lol. I like the idea that almost anything is possible, and that idea should stay open.
Now I understand why you guys had so easy to talk to each other, both with Russian background. I very much enjoyed you guys playing on the razors edge between serious topics and just having fun! I wonder if there is a Guiness World Record for talking to most scientists? Impressive Lex!
Great interview Lex. You are always well prepared and your questions are always interesting and relevant to the discussion at hand. I listen to every interview. You treat your guests with respect and also seem able to bring out their human side.
Well done.
What a fascinating man to listen to. I think this may be the first time I have heard a scientist he honestly state that we don't really know how life originates. ( I'm sure others do. I just haven't heard them). I appreciate that.
Loved this. What a great guy to have on. Fascinating.
Great interaction and probing, Lex.
Awesome podcast again Lex, amazing that you are able to ask such great questions, of amazing guests, and do it so often. Hard to keep up with the pods. Thumbs up
I think there was a movie about this back in the 60's:
*Space Babes From Planet 9*
Love this guy! Great interview as usual. I hope you interview him again.
We need this guy back for round 2!

Oh, my god! My pre-PhD heart is often pulse because Konstantin and Lex started russian-speach. My God! I teared after Lex's question: "Do you speak russian" - and It started discussion. It's SO touching, Lex! Russians are with love watches and listens Konstantin's speeches and interview in eng.
RU
Етить-колотить! Моë кандидатское сердешко застучало чаще, когда Константин и Лекс стали говорить по-русски. Боже, я слезу пустила на моменте, когда Лекс спросил "Ты по-русски говоришь?" - и они стали общаться! Это слишком трогательно. Россия с любовью смотрит и слушает Константина на английском.
can you translate their converation for us?
@twism11 Ok, I can.
Lex: Do you speak russian?
Konstantin: Yeah, sure.
L: What are you remember about Russia?
K: Literally, I remember... I was 8 years old, on the moment of leaving from Russia. And... Sure... I remember on the first sight all period of 1991-1992. It was time of turbulence. And 1993, yeah. And, also... I very good remember moment of starting PEPSI-COLA in Russia. And second was Coca-Cola. And... I thought, that... I was 6 years old... I thought: why? Why as possible, that Coca-Cola company filched PEPSI-COLA product? Er? What? And I thought a long time, that PEPSI-COLA and Coca-Cola was create in 1992.
@@likorice_swiss hey, thank you man!
@@twism11 позвольте спросить (если Вы не против), а почему вы у других, кто пишет русские комментарии, спрашиваете перевод диалога Константина и Лекса? Интересно сравнить разницу?
@@likorice_swiss ?
"Optimally good at chilling" .... That is the most Lex Fridman thing I've ever heard
I listened to this and fell to sleep and dreamt a lot of what they were discussing and it was amaaaazing!!
I do that every night
Lex podcasts have become the soundtrack to my dreams
Mr. Batygin is an absolutely wonderful teacher! 👍😀
Absolutely fascinating-thanks for this Lex and Konstantine.
This has been one of the best interviews! Thank you both for sharing the knowledge.
wow, this one was epic! didn´t know this guy, got my respect, well done.
One of your best interviews yet. Thanks Lex
What an amazing interview. Огромное спасибо!!!!
He's got such a so cal surfer vibe, I love it! He reminds me of all my stoner friends in my youth, only slightly smarter.
This is a fun and awesome conversation on all levels.
Yes, yes, thank you Alex! Great guest, Konstantin, like other yours! Will see with pleasure.
Oh heck ya! I've listened to Konstantin Batygin on veritasium. Always wanted more.
I was wondering where I remembered him from
There is also this ua-cam.com/video/jcu581GBmPs/v-deo.html (if you know Russian, but I believe it also has subtitles)
I had no idea the Oort Cloud was 3D. I thought it was on the same plane as all the planets. That explains how the comets enter into and cross our orbit so much.
So you thought it was two dimensional all the way up until now? Huh?
They tend to be on similar angle to Nibiru.
Best podcast available. Thanks for doing your thang, Lex!
I enjoyed your convo w Konstantin..
inspiring
fascinated . love the way they connected with so much chemistry and humor. I had so much fun so interesting and funny love you guys

I am loving the guests and subjects you're covering.
One of the best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time! Thank you lex!
If I could just listen to these two beings over and over again....*swoon oh wait....hits replay
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
Only problem is you never know what you’re getting with the “New Age” cult we have now here in the US.
Lex is becoming my favorite podcaster asks probing questions, including those difficult and even impossible to comment on he likes to treat subjects that are mysterious and just now expanding into serious studies UFOs are a good example
My favorite episode so far. Great work! Great guest!
Regardless of the solar system, size always matters, friends. Another great pod, Lex.
Too small or too big…. There is a problem. In a long enough timeframe, I really wonder our solar systems future.
Are we a blink in a rare occurrence. All of animal life is soooo tiny it means nothing. No ruins or markers. We just become more dirt and dust to a new thing
@@Mmmmkaaay Touche
@@Mmmmkaaay “ that’s like your opinion man”- The Dude
Per every woman that has ever had the pleasure of receiving multiples they say contrary, in fact they say it take a cosmic combination of both 🤷🏽♂️
I wished he had said that to one of the many women guests he's had recently, just to see the reaction.
@@Mmmmkaaay Gotta appreciate a short canal.
this was exceptional. Totally dig the Very candid conversation, love the Russian connection and McDonald's story.
Thankyou, that was a fabulous interview discussion. Love it. ❤️
The deep voices of these two intelligent men are a kind of elixir to the ears.
I don't know why I found this conversation refreshing. Much appreciato!
So good! One of my favorite interviews. As per usual after absorbing your show, I feel smarter and spiritually richer. I had no idea how vast a territory it is that our little Sun governs. Loved the ps4 tangent.
Really love the occasional pictures and graphics. Keeps me from Googling whily listening 😂
Such a great episode!
First Kipping now Batygin? I'd pay good money to listen to either one. Where else can you find quality talks like this? As a hard-core astronomy geek I deeply appreciate what you're doing.
It’s so crazy seeing intellectual conversations between two cutting edge scientists having tangents about Skyrim and RDR2 lol. The younger video game generation has finally grown up 🥲
We’re getting old :(
