My new favorite thing to do… listen to these videos at night while looking up at the stars. You asked me in another video which type of videos I’m enjoying the most… no idea they are all so captivating.
This comment struck a cord with me. First off I NEVER comment on a RU-vid video (sorry algorithm overlords). However, it's true JMG you've never had a miss, bravo. Your channel is the only channel that I've listened to every. single. video.
I like how JMG tries to politely tie SETI into the conversation a few times during the show and how the guest makes sure to remind everyone that she has nothing to do with SETI. Seems like she is from the mainstream tribe that does not want to consider or elevate alien explanations- an attitude the great Avi Loeb has brought up many times. Keep on rocking it JMG!
Speak for yourself Arthur. Avi is kind, generous, and extremely open to the public. He was the first guest ever on Event Horizon and he said yes to a three hour interview to a show that hadn’t even publicly started yet. He wasn’t as famous then as he is now, and he has been exactly the same since becoming famous. What doesn’t help is people projecting their anger on to someone they’ve never even spoken to. It’s disappointing and disturbing to see.
@@EventHorizonShow Sorry JMG, but Avi's numerous, monetised aliens👽aliens👽aliens👽 claims are the antithesis of the scientific method. PBS Space Time's 11 April 2021 video "How to Know if it's Aliens" has a great segment on Loeb's sensationalist "science". And I remember you commenting appreciatively on Dr. Kipping's polite pooh poohing of just one of Loeb's aliens. We can't all be as gentlemanly as you and Dr. Kipping.
Hi JMG. Would you be able to do an episode of your show talking to one of the head researchers at the MeerKAT Radio Telescope in South Africa? I’ve been out to their radio telescopes near Carnarvon in the Karoo region of SA and the desert scenery, wide open expanses and crystal clear bright starry skies are nothing short of breathtaking. Would love to hear an update on how their work on this sophisticated global research project (Square Kilometre Array) is going.
I love your videos. I mean I only understand around 1% of the content. It is very comforting knowing intelligent humans, such as yourself as well as your guests, exist and are pushing our technological evolution.
Great content John and team! And thanks to your guest this week. All the best to you, hope the channel keeps growing. Also, Aussie here, very proud of the SKA, it’s been planned for a long time, I remember back in 2009 when the location bidding was happening. Finally, any planned specials on the JWST?
Nailed it again! Great convo with a really interesting guest, that also happens to have a pleasant voice. I friggin love this channel. It makes thursdays great.
On the other hand… he could be around, the cause of many problems and constantly asking you for money when he’s not screaming about crazy conspiracies he’s made up. Screaming about how your brother is the devil Screaming about why you let him break up with his girlfriend when you were 7 Screaming about how all of your extended family has conspired to make him and his gf break up IN THE 1980s Screaming about the shape of your mothers privates AND ON AND ON AND ON
I’ve seen comments like this before. Makes me wonder.. if we actually did receive a message like that. I wonder what we’d actually do as a collective population. Probably nothing?
I nearly had a heart attack when reading this. My name is Trae Murphy, and for just a second I thought I had somehow made it on the show in my sleep! And gotten a PhD to boot!
If its been thought of its been thought of and discussed at length here. Love your channel and more (almost) importantly your humour. Such an international treasure, you inspire me to learn what I don't know and teach what I do ♥
Very interesting, as always. Small thing: I wish interviewers would mention to their guests before the interview to be careful about noises like tapping or thumping, lol, I've heard it on lots of channels. Anyhoo, thanks for a great channel! I never miss it.
Mate, (as an australian) its almost super weird hearing an aussie accent in an american video lol. Been a fan for aaaages. Also you should interview more aussiez. Mebbe a parks history with the moon landing (you have touched on that in the past) ie the lunch break microwave burrito alien encounter lol. Australia has contributed a shitload of science (especialy microwave lol) telemetry in the last 60 years. Loving the amount of content and quality you're producing recently mate. Keep it up please. :)
@@ustmissouri8029 That's almost the exact title of a research paper in computer science. The CAP theorem, Consistency Availability, Partition tolerance - chose two out of three at the same time. This was the ruling paradigm for a long time. Then a paper was published called "HAT, Not CAP: Towards Highly Available Transactions" which kind of cheated on the math behind the CAP theorem and more or less made it possible to have all three.
Great to hear some news ot what's going on in Austalian astronomy research.The amount of computing power and programmimg to siift through thie data is mind blowing.
CB and Amateur Radio operators all know too well about how radio gets screwed around with by the atmosphere by changing its polarity , if you have a horizontal antenna ( for example a dedicated ground loop receive only one ) and a vertical antenna ( normally used for transmitting on ) and have a radio with 2 antenna sockets you can put the ground loop on the left speaker and the vertical on the right and you can hear the long distance signal go back and forth between them as the ionosphere changes the radio polarity from horizontal to vertical and back again ( this is for the 6m and longer bands not the VHF - 2m - and higher into the cm bands ) so this may explain some of the observations as a radio source passes through gas clouds or dust
This woman should be a teacher. Has a nice process of mapping less complex to more complex explanations, by building knowledge "black boxes". It's like programming but my brain is the IDE. KUDOS!
As a side note, since we are talking about the centers of Galaxies. If the amount of matter coming in one pole of the black hole is greater than or less than the other pole, then one plasma jet should be more powerful than the other, which means... Does it mean the Galaxy moves away from the direction of the greater jet? I to should due to Newton's laws, the jet of plasma that is bigger acts as a thruster, and the one that is lesser acts as both a death ray (well both of them are death rays) and something pushing things away from the center. And if the jets were of equal size and intensity then I'm guessing that galaxy has a tendency to be immobile save for the pull of gravity from other Galaxies in it's vicinity and that of the Universe's total mass as a whole, plus that momentum of the big bang. Now just to mess with my head I'm imagining the jets of two Galaxies lining up and meeting head on. Can anyone imagine the amount of energy, light and radiation that would be involved in such masses of matter and energy colliding for possibly billions of years, then ask "Would two head on streams prevent the two Galaxies from colliding head on, or simply preceed it?
So. Something the size of the sun. Rotating once in lets say ten milliseconds. Let's pick one particle on the surface of the sun. On the equator. The fastest moving particle, in particular. How fast is that particle moving?

I was hoping I would hear that it might be a boson star or a theoretical Darkstar. Couldn't it be a primordial black hole? I'm just passing out some thoughts I really love the program thanks for continuing with it.
She's technically right. Black holes beat it, but they aren't really seen as part of the universe, or even an object really. Rather they are something else that is more ambiguous. Basically the universe ends at the event horizon. That was Hawking's view anyway.
@@JohnMichaelGodier Wow. I honestly never thought I'd ever see the day when I flat out think that Einstein was wrong about anything. The arrogance! I'm quite embarrassed tbh but the explanation just doesn't feel right in that they have mass and are birthed by the collapse of a neutron star but they are not an object. Spooky science indeed! This is almost like the philosophical question of the sound a tree makes when there's no one there to hear it.. We can't directly observe a black hole therefore it's not a "thing" despite the fact we know they absorb (or eat) matter and produce a huge amount of energy. I don't think our universe ends there, that sounds just like the old flat earth theory to me 😂 One day our understanding of the black hole phenomenon will be better I hope. Thanks for the reply John 👍
Terahertz yes. But not in radio. But you are seeing that part of the spectrum. It includes infrared and visible light along with near ultraviolet light. Above that it goes to petaherz which is ultraviolet and soft x-rays and then exahertz, which are hard X-rays and gamma rays. But radio and microwave itself is defined in hertz, kilohertz, megahertz and gigahertz.
Fascinating. The galaxy is ancient, so if were to pick a up a signal one would expect it to come from near the galactic core where the older stars are.
From Wikipedia (extract from Quasi-star): "Once a black hole had formed at the core of the protostar, it would continue generating a large amount of radiant energy from the infall of stellar material. This constant outburst of energy would counteract the force of gravity, creating an equilibrium similar to the one that supports modern fusion-based stars. Quasi-stars would have had a short maximum lifespan, approximately 7 million years, during which the core black hole would have grown to about 1,000-10,000 solar masses (2×1033-2×1034 kg). These intermediate-mass black holes have been suggested as the progenitors of modern supermassive black holes." Unfortunately, the description doesn't fit because the object in question doesn't lie in the visible spectrum. Considering scientists are probably looking at a new class of stellar object, what if.. It's a Quasi-hole? An "mix" between a neutron star and a black hole. Because the black hole forms when a star collapses on its core, and because neutron stars have the same process of formation.. Could there be a way in-between those two? I'm proposing a stellar object with the qualities of a quasar AND a neutron star, whereas the object maintains spectrum invisibility but is able to release high quantities of radiation at "flaring" conditions. EDIT n1: Turns out there is a sort of hypothetical object which fits the description above: a Blitzar. Link to the page is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzar
