A highlight from From Big Bang to James Webb: Exploring Space with John Mather
"Right now we still have the great mystery of quantum mechanics doesn't seem to describe gravity. Can we find places that are like home? Little Earth's orbiting stars like the Sun. When you look at the history of Earth you see the history of the different forms of life growing. It's taken all of the entire history of the universe for us to turn up. We start off with that can't be done that's impossible. Then somebody invents something and then somebody wants some more and gradually we invest our billions or trillions as it takes because there's a demand for it. Please build us another telescope to look farther back because we've got a big mystery here. Artificial limbs, precision GPS, firefighter suits, insulin pumps, emergency blankets, air purifiers, even the dust buster. Now what do all of these things have in common? Well these were actually all innovations developed through the pursuit of space and I think there's something really profound there. Through our collective deep desire to understand our past and all that we came from we've created technologies that enhance our future. I think it's also an important reminder that history is riddled with people we think they know what is best to build without realizing that there are so many great things that have sprouted from projects that didn't seem immediately useful at the time. And that's why today I am so excited about our guest astrophysicist John Mather. Now John actually won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2006 for his work on the Kobe satellite to which by the way Stephen Hawking described the imagery from Kobe and its implications on the Big Bang Theory as the most important discovery of the century if not all time. More recently John was a senior project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope and that was the feat of science that produced the images of those far -out galaxies that you probably saw as the Biden administration revealed them in the last year. Now this episode came about because I had the pleasure of seeing John speak at the Aspen Ideas Festival and after his talk I had to ask him I had to shoot my shot to see if he'd come on the A16Z podcast and in this complex world of cosmic probabilities John actually said yes. So here we are venturing into the very beginnings of our cosmic history. We also talked about what we've learned in the several decades that John has been working in this space but also the many things that we have yet to understand so things like dark energy and dark matter. Plus we explored the very important question of why space exploration is such a fundamental but also useful human desire in the first place and given that the James Webb Space Telescope that John has been working on recently made its first detection of a new carbon compound methyl cation this conversation is all the more timely.

"The character tries to be hip, but I mean, it's like hip. I would expect them to drop the word rad or something like that. I mean, it's bad. Like, it is some of the worst cringey dialog I've heard in a long time, and that's because here's the problem I mentioned in another, I'd like to know if you agree with this, but the reason why modern writing does not work is because humans slang changes about once every three months. Let me give you an example. When I was younger, we said hot. And then it turned to lit, fire, scorching, hot, smoke show, all those mean the same thing. And so if I say hot now, if I said that's hot, somebody would be able to immediately identify me as somebody who was using words from two, three years ago, for 6, 8 years ago. The problem with writing modern slang is it can not be modern by the time the game releases because they wrote it four years ago. So the slang that they wrote and they had people record is slang from four years ago. The reason why I know this is because I dropped current jokes in my podcast and in my disk in my reviews. And I've joked about Justin Bieber or something, or I've joked about Stephen Hawking, who's dead. And in one of my reviews, I'm talking about Stephen Hawking is going to roll out there in his wheelchair and a lot of people are like, well, that didn't age well as a joke because he's dead. You can not write modern well in a current game. It doesn't work. You have to come up with your own slang. You have to come up with your own stuff that is more ageless. Do you feel like that's something that high on life was able to do good? Was like because they didn't take themselves seriously. They was able to make decent dialog. Yes, and because high on life's meta is meta.

"An idea, which is if you look at nature carefully and really pay attention and you're lucky, you can catch a glimpse of something deeply hidden. She's a beautiful phrase. Something deeply hidden, which is the deep structure of reality. It's what our reality is. So black holes, they're kind of a metaphor in a way. I talk about them as Rosetta stones in the sky. They're the things that by studying them. And when you say, why, why would we study these things? Well, in studying these things, we're beginning to get a deep, a deep picture of what our reality actually is. And that's a remarkable idea. But it's a beautiful idea that runs through all of science. How do you define a black hole? Well, it's in Einstein's theory, which again is a remarkable thing. It's probably in 1915 over a hundred years old. But it's just a region of space from which even light can't escape. And by understanding what they are and knowing more about them, what do we then learn? Well, states so Stephen Hawking back in the 70s published a paper. The initial one was called black hole explosions. It's just great title for a paper. And he calculated, he found out that black holes in his language. He said black holes ain't so black. They glow in the sky, like coals in the sky. And they radiate. And so over time, they lose energy and mass and ultimately disappear. Of a huge time scales. And that's so important. And I show this picture in the show that if you're going to Westminster Abbey and look on the floor of Westminster Abbey on Stevens memorial stone, then you find his equation for the temperature of a black hole, literally chiseled in stone on the floor of an Abbey. So you might say, why? Why is it so important? This was the key. This was this Rosetta stone idea. In trying to understand what happens. What happens? What happens to this stuff that fell in? When you thought these things existed forever, which is pre Hawking. Then you think, well, it's okay. I guess lots of inside. It can never get out. We don't care. But the thing evaporates away, one day it will be gone. So then suddenly you have to be faced with this question, what happened to everything then? If I threw a book into a black hole, is it somehow possible in the far future of your collect all this so called Hawking radiation? That comes off. Is it possible to reconstruct the information in the book? And that's been a question simple question that's driven this tremendous amount of research for 50 years. And it was pretty much solved in 2019, actually, in 2020. Pretty much, there's still a huge number of questions. But roughly, well, the statement is everything comes out again. All the information comes out. So everything that fell in in principle in the far future you could reconstruct the information of everything that fell in. This is an astonishing idea, because the last thing I'll say is that before that, before the Hawking papers and before this modern understanding, inside a black hole, just according to Einstein, sits the end of time. Which is an astonishing thing to say, because we can see them. We have a photograph to one of these things in the center of a galaxy too, actually. And you're looking when you look at that photograph, you're looking at the end of time in space. So then you think, well, if things go to the end of time, how does everything get out? Again. And that's the content of this tremendous work in theoretical physics. This works to be in black holes, which is one of those things that a certain kind of person says is useless, right? He said, why? Who cares? It turns out that the techniques that have been developed and the understanding that's being gained from looking at these things. Has got a very strong crossover with building quantum computers. Which quantum computers are in laboratories now. They have a tremendous potential to revolutionize our civilization. The incredibly powerful computing devices. Yes, and also that sometimes the defense given, isn't it about what's going into man going back to the moon or woman going back to the moon. The other things are discovered in the pursuit of those missions. Yeah, I mean, it's always a cliche, but it's true a friend of mine, an astronomer always says, when people criticize these spacecraft and they say, you know, the way, let's say the James Webb Space Telescope is what $6 billion or so. But it's appropriate to point out that nobody puts $6 billion in a suitcase and launched it on The Rock kits. Around the $6 million didn't go into space. It was spent on earth. And what is often the case? So putting aside the glory and wonder of the discoveries that are made, you are paying people to do high-tech jobs and do research and build machines that operate at the edge of the possible. And history tells us that that tends to be extremely useful. Your inventing things and trying to do things that are difficult. And that expertise never stays in one place. It then spreads out across our civilization in ways that you can't really predict or even quantify. Indeed, and you did sound very excited earlier. When you sound excited the whole time about all of this, which is infectious, even if people were trying to keep up, including myself. But when you talked about the golden possibility of there being life out there. And that question of, are we alone? Where are you with that? What do you say to people right now with the latest information? Well, so this, again, I think there's a cosmology. I say this in the show as well, it's one of the most challenging subjects, because at one level it makes us feel very, very small and insignificant. And it's true. You know, physically. I mean, the earth is one planet around one star amongst 400 billion stars in one galaxy amongst 2 trillion galaxies in the part of the universe we can

"You so much for coming to talk to me and to all of our viewers. And I actually wanted to start with the new NASA telescope. We'll come to your particular project in a moment, but it's named after the man who ran the agency in the 60s and oversaw the first man mission to the moon. James Webb. What do you make of what we're seeing so far? Because it's pretty incredible. Yeah, so remarkable instrument. I mean, you think of the predecessor we should Hubble Space Telescope. I think it's almost impossible to imagine a world without that. Even if you don't know the images that we're familiar with at the universe, many of them, the spectacular galaxies and star forming regions. They're from Hubble. But the web is a significant step forward. And technically, one of the most important things is it can see what we call longer wavelength light. The infrared light. And that's important, because if you think about, we want to see the first galaxies forming. So we want to understand how the first stars and galaxies formed in the universe. And so what you do is you look far out into the universe. And because light travels quite slowly across cosmic distances. Let's say you have a galaxy that's the most distant one you can see with the naked eye is about 2 million light years away. So that means that the light has been traveling for 2 million years to reach us. And it's a remarkable thing actually to think when you look, it's called the Andromeda Galaxy. And if you know where you're looking, you can just catch it out of the corner of your eye. If you think about it, you're seeing that as it was 2 million years ago. Yes, because it takes a light 2 million years to travel. I don't like being late to information. So that makes me feel very out of date. It's remarkable. I mean, it began its journey before we had evolved on earth. So in its time, it took and that's the nearest neighboring galaxy. The web looks so far out that it's capturing light that's been traveling for over 13 billion years. But the universe has been expanding. And so the light has been stretching. And so for the most distant galaxies, we're looking back in time almost to the Big Bang. The Hubble was not sensitive to that light so that the web can see the formation of the first galaxies. It's essentially looking all the way back to very close to the beginning of time. And that's very important because we're not entirely sure exactly how those first galaxies form. The idea of what you just talked about in terms of how much time this is taken and what it's covering. Do you think we will ever be able to see the big bank? Well, we almost can. It's not the web telescope. There's something called the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is light that was emitted in the universe. And it's very precise number. It's 380,000 years after the Big Bang, which is not very long at all. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. So we can see that it's microwaves because it's been stretched so much by the expansion of the universe. Going back that the problem with light is that in those earliest times, the universe was so hot and so dense that light couldn't travel through it. So it was opaque. So you can't use light to go back earlier than that. But what we can potentially do, not yet, we're not good enough yet. But the technology we use to now to detect colliding black holes, which is another remarkable thing, I'll leave that one this side for now. But we have this technology to do that. And that technology possibly could allow us to probe right back to this thing, the Big Bang. And again, whether or not that's the origin of time, we can talk about as well. Brian, you've dedicated your life to explaining the scale of the universe to people. You have a new world tour and show called horizons. What's the goal? Are you trying to teach people new things and understand the world they're living in better or what are you aiming for? Well, actually all those things. So it works, I hope, on different levels. So I talk about cosmology to be spoken about what we call the large scale structure of the universe. So the galaxies and how they formed how the universe has evolved since the Big Bang. But also, I've got very interested in my academic work in black holes. And black holes and they're really evocative things. I think everyone's heard of these strange things, these totally collapsed stars. From which nothing apparently can escape. But in the past few years, past few decades, really, beginning work that Stephen Hawking really began back in the 1970s and many others. We'd begun to suspect there's a lot more to them. And they started four singers to reassess our understanding of what space and time are. And that's a really weird sentence. You might think, well, space is the arena in which we live in time just 6, but it really isn't. It looks like, from studying these things, there are building blocks of space and building blocks of time. And what I say in the show is that's a mind-blowing idea. And I talk about that. But the key point is there's a great quote from Einstein, a beautiful story. The Einstein told about when he was a little boy, he was 6 or 7 years old. And his dad gave him a compass. And so he looks at the compass, and he said, well, there's this thing, this needle, and it always points north. Points in this direction. So there's some kind of invisible that I can't see that underlies our reality. This making this needle point on, and you said later in life, it was my first encounter with

But <Speech_Male> I'll have it for the next time <Speech_Male> we discussed this. <Speech_Male> But there was a very <Speech_Male> famous Civil War quote <Speech_Male> by someone who was actually <Speech_Male> in the 1860s <Speech_Male> who predicted <Silence> that mankind <Speech_Male> would actually <Speech_Male> invent his way <Speech_Male> into global annihilation <Speech_Male> because of <Speech_Male> the machines he would make, <Speech_Male> but actually take over and <Speech_Male> rule <Speech_Male> the world.

He actually forewarned <Speech_Male> this. <Speech_Male> Isaac Asimov, <Speech_Male> we have a very famous <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> science fiction writer. <Speech_Male> Also is on <Speech_Male> record stating that <Speech_Male> if AI <Speech_Male> actually was <Silence> written and was <Speech_Male> actually <Speech_Male> developed in such a way <Speech_Male> that it became sentient, <Silence> it would most certainly <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> be devastating <Speech_Male> to mankind.

I didn't know Stephen Hawking knew Swahili. I didn't know that. Did you guys know that? That's a lot of work. Yeah, man. That's scary. All right, let's break down a marriage numbers. Korean. You guys are married, right? Yeah, sometimes more than once. Yeah. Neither of us are actually married, but yes. We both claim to be. We have lifelong partners. How do in fact it's each other? That's right. I love you, Ben. That'd be too bad. I've been married twice. Second time. How did my glasses look? Am I on camera? No, you look absolutely fabulous there, Mike. It looks studious. How do marriage rates compare by gender, race, and ethnicity? Marriage has declined across races across races and ethnicities, but the trend is more pronounced for some. The marriage rates for white black and Hispanic Americans have fallen roughly 7, 8 and 11 percentage points, respectively. Now, people are just saying, okay, I want to just live together. Find out if we get along. The number of unmarried men and women increased during this time between in 2019, 35% of men and 30% of women had never been married. Ever. Those numbers are up from 35% to 35 from 30% in 1990. So it's a 5% difference in the margin. In 1980, white men and women made up 80% of the U.S. population and were the most likely demographic to be married by 2021 Asian men and women were the most likely to be married. So now you know that. Now, how about the widowed or divorced? This is interesting. He says, while much of the marriage rate decline is explained by an increasing share of Americans, not marrying at all, the number of people who are divorced and widowed are also changing divorce rates increased from most demographic groups. 6.8% of the men were divorced in 1990 by 2021 is 8.4%. Look at that. And that doesn't count the people who never got married because they were afraid they were going to get divorced, which is, as I just said, the numbers are way up for that. So is this a structural problem with our country? Is it ruining the nuclear family formula that we've known for so long? Could be. I don't know. Times change. Oh, and men's shorter life expectancy helps explain why women are more likely to be widowed. What's the average? That's how that works. Yeah. The widower population dropped from three to 2.7% for women that figured dropped from 12 to 8.6%. And again, that's because and women complain all the time. You have to go through childbirth and we're the ones that have periods and have to go through and whole thing, you know, what's it called? Premenstrual angst. Well, I think the widow rates also are helped by guys who are on their second marriage who are in their late 60s, maybe mid 70s who have wives that are in their mid to late 40s. Well, yeah, but the point is men women you, women, and I'm looking at you. Women live longer than men. So for all that stuff they have to go through, they also live longer. So there's a little give and take on that, right? Which brings us to a very important topic, which is come up, but before we do that very important topic. And it is important. Do you have something to do? I have a commercial. You're kidding me. No, it's a good one too. It's a good somebody took you up on the offer when you said last week, you know, if we have commercialized, so how about that? It's $1500. You know, it helps pay.

"Creation. And there's any number of ways that you can be you. So if you attach your identity to these things that are transitory, good luck with that, right? I refer to it as patients with the one trick pony syndrome. Yeah. But if you cut through this and say, look, let's define you based on what's meaningful to you. Your sense of purpose in the world that how many different ways can you achieve that? Look at a guy like Stephen Hawking. I can't imagine having that happen and becoming who he was. People do. And I think that has a lot to do with people not being encumbered by attaching their words to who they are. Well, it is intrinsic, I say, that, again, it's respective of what we look like or how wealthy we are or what our physical status is. It's intrinsic. It's always there, regardless of the external. So it's similar to what you're saying. Tell me, you know, what's your, what do you think? We see a lot of denial in older adults. I mean, we just, you know, it's like, how do you differentiate between denial and positive thinking? Sometimes I think it's really the same thing. But how do you, how would you approach somebody who's in just denial about their limitations and losses and loss of interest and all of that? What's your starters with compassion and respect? Yeah. It's a way of defending themselves against things they can't handle. They try and lessen the sense of threat to their needs by making it smaller. That's an understandable human reaction. The problem is that you can't fully address a problem if you're not willing to believe knowledge the extent of it. I refer to that as acknowledging negative realities is the first step towards empowerment. If you can own the full extent, you know, for example, how many people reacted to the COVID virus with denial, right? Sure. We don't need medicine. It's not really happening, not those people aren't dying. Go to the extremes. And to what you and I would probably refer to as delusional thinking. So I say to people, I understand, I get it. And I get why you don't want to know and don't want to have to deal with it. But if you don't, you're actually disempowering yourself. It's frightening as it may be to acknowledge the truth. The truth will set you free. So that's one aspect of it, but I have respect for this..

"We have actually seen from that perspective, a much more sedate style of AI that I think is becoming more realistic and people are sort of I say tamping down their over enthusiastic expectations about what AI can be. That's part of what we've learned this year. Yeah, you know, and in one of our podcast swaps, we actually talked about the news, AI news in general, and how a lot of the press and news that is reported really is about some of that hype science fiction AI. They put these click bait headlines because, of course, that's what sells news, right? And they want you to click on it and read it. But what we found and it wasn't just this year, it's been in past years as well, is that it's really the mundane boring things that are providing lots of value. And creating that ROI in our AI failure series, we talk about the ROI of AI. And what is your return on investment? Because you need to make sure that it's something you don't want to just do AI to do AI. So we've really continued to see that some of those mundane use cases really are showing the value and that a lot of the dream very pie in the sky thinking big and having these really, really hard problems. While they do make good headlines, we are starting to see a pullback from investment and really, like I said, investment and also it actually happening. One in particular is autonomous vehicles. You know, we've started to see a pullback and now companies, governments, they're really focusing on electric, more than they are autonomous autonomous cars, because it is an incredibly difficult problem. Yeah. I think to be more specific, it's not that we're seeing a general we're not in an AI winter. That's for sure. We are basically still seeing a lot of enthusiasm for you. I think what we have seen in 2021 is more future looking applications of AI that were very enthusiastic. If you looked at the coverage of AI in 2017 or 2018 or 2016 or even 2019 before the pandemic really hit a lot of the coverage of AI was about things like the super intelligence and oh my goodness, let's look at DeepMind and what it can do and have we finally cracked AGI and Elon Musk and others basically crying about the dangers of super intelligent machines. We have to tamp it down and we had Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking. Remember, they were all sort of like getting into this thing. And then there's all this concern about all these applications that I think what we saw in 2021 was especially in the press. A lot more sort of the real getting into this realism phase, right? And this realism phase, which is like, okay, the we're separating out some of the larger claims about what AI can do from some of these more, as we say, bonding, and sedate claims about it..

Oh no, I don't even know if I can even tell this story. This is bad because. Left a rather was fired. We carried on doing them. They would go around to his house. We didn't stop doing it. They didn't go out. But we still did track phone calls. Oh, man. Can I tell this story? Oh, okay. So we managed we had this Stephen Hawking style voice box. After good stuff. Yeah. But we ran this pizza place to try and order a pizza with it basically. And he would ask for kind of weird things on the pizza and explain that I feel bad about it. Because they would really hang on because that thing I've got this whole person is not called old box or larynx. And, you know, they really patient. Well, we just sort of made them jump through hoops. So I don't know if that's a favorite memory. That's the most shameful thing. That's the most vivid one. This one that I was one where we got where we bring up and we said to that, she for what went out, I think, on air, where we talked about a donkey that I don't know why what this had to do with video games, but I thought about how my niece was couldn't walk because she was really fat and she'd sat on a donkey and it shouted spying and all the bones went in her legs. That's bad, isn't it? That's really bad. I was a young man. What can I say? I don't have any favorite members. They're just bits of bits of doing them stick out. Some of them we censored.

He's an author that i have just loved reading and so sad that he's left this world but he's left this world with some of the most inspiring writings about tackling some of the biggest problems. And looking at them through the lens of science. But also recognizing that sometimes in the pure simplicity of finding those solutions. You can tackle the biggest problems. And i tried to think about. What would stephen hawking. Think about this issue. Whenever i'm challenged with a particular issue that i'm working on be it on the sustainability front or the political front and really embrace that mentality. Sometimes the answers are right there in front of you and you have to take that simplicity and drive through answering the problems no matter how complex they seem. What about you what yeah. Yeah yoyo guys. My jump ball is really connected to lie experiences and over the last week. I've actually been trying like these new workout. Experience is what it's elevated for me. Is that workout is just not one dimensional anymore and so i've done everything from reformer machines for pilates just taking my pilot game to the next level cycling in a completely different way where there's a new company that has launched here cost psych mo where their entire wall is like video that you moved to or video wall that you can like workout to. It's just it works with our bikes in. It's amazing so i am just saying this evolution of exercise in experiences. That really for me is driving. Just a fun way to keep in shape and have a ton of fun. So that's my jump off like if you're getting out and you're exercising. Try some of these new amazing experiences that exist had do you know it. Screaming gluts are. You're never met them now.

What Was Stephen Hawking's Final Project?
"Days before his death on march fourteenth two thousand eighteen famed theoretical physicists. And cosmologists stephen hawking completed what would be his final research paper it since passed peer review and was published online in the journal of high energy. Physics on april twenty-seventh written with co author. Thomas herzog a theoretical physicist at the university of louisville belgium. The paper adds another facet to our understanding of this universe that we live in and needless to say it's complicated titled a smooth exit from eternal inflation. Be publication discusses an enigmatic problem facing cosmologists but before we delve into the crux of the study. Let's go back to win. Our universe was a baby. Some thirteen point eight billion years ago. A lot of evidence suggests that our universe originated from a singularity an infinitely dense point from which all the universe as we know it was born. We call that event the big bang but how the singularity came to be and why the big bang happened isn't of concern right now. We're interested in what happened immediately. After our universe was spawned a period known as inflation cosmologists predict that inflation occurred over a vanishingly small period. Right after the big bang during our universes very first ten to thirty two seconds during inflation the universe expanded exponentially and much faster than the speed of light after only his second. The energy from this inconceivably gargantuan explosion condensed to form subatomic particles that over millions of years created the stars galaxies planets and after another few billion years life. As we know it once this inflationary period ended the universes rate of expansion slowed but it continues to expand to this day because inflation powered a faster than light speed expansion. The observable universe that we see today is not the entire universe rather we exist inside a region of the cosmos. That light has had time to reach. It's like dropping a pebble into a calm swimming pool. The first circular ripple to propagate from the splash travels a fixed speed across the surface of the pool. If we imagine that the limit of our observable universe is that ripple traveling across the pool at the speed of light it's not that nothing exists beyond that ripple there's more pool or universe beyond it. We just can't see it yet. So the consequence of inflation is that there should be a lot more universe beyond what we can see even with our most powerful
Scientific Sense

"Perfect philanthropy comes out of the dynamics of the extended objects with string theory. And that's the mike physical explanation yesterday. They extended objects april. So many say the number of as you can wrap things around. Are we talking about wrapping around on the surface. Here's where ya well so Yes oh so here's where indeed Our classical brains have with with the intuition so you know we usually think about surfaces being in something like surface being in three dimensional space and so that's sometimes called extrinsic geometry the way an object is embedded in a bigger space. What einstein's theory is about is what you might call intrinsic geometry That is the geometry of something in and of itself without embedding it in some bigger thing so when i said i had a pencil and i could wrap rubberband around a pencil. I had the idea the there was the third dimension that the surface of the pencil was embedded in. Okay so imagine the surface of the pencil without the third dimension. So what is that. That's just a circle. So if if the extra dimension of space is a circle then i can wrap a string around that circle once twice three times etc there's no third dimension which corresponds to going away from the circle That's just what space is. It's just the circle and string theory. Has you know six or seven of those extra dimensions. And they can have little top logical knots in them were bubbles the can be various dimensions. It can be circles. they can be spears Various higher dimensional things and each f different Animal in the zoology string theory can wrap that topology in different ways and can bind to other bits of brain in in different ways. And what explains the black hole. Entropy is basically the number of different bound states grows exponentially with the mass In a way which appears to be compatible with the thermodynamics predicted by beckon stephen hawking so suffice to send his game it was so Einstein says at black hole is fairly simple dame three parameters mass feature and momentum. It doesn't matter you jumped into it. Somebody jumped into slu great. Look exactly the same yet. You can sense at black course precedence. Gravity them so if you'd like to chart in terms of momentum and he stops there basically right but because of the inflammation issue because of all the stuff that i didn't do it that has to be something somewhere that's to solve that inflammation and the devastating thing to figure out from a string theory perspective. Yes that's right. And if i may so i just described that there was this great success in counting the entropy of black holes in terms of the number of ways strength and and brains combined together. There's a bit of a sleight of hand in that calculation which should describe which is that in order to control the calculation What's trumpeter and buffet did. Was they worked in a regime. Where the interaction. Strength of the strings and brains is small so that they could actually enumerate the bound states. Do it using a an approximation scheme where you're expanding in the strength of the interaction.

"Yeah. Fauci thinks he's the pope. Now, for those of you who don't know who weren't raised Roman Catholic. The pope is considered infallible. When it comes to matters of the faith. If you disagree with the pope. On an interpretation of Scripture or Roman Catholic. Theology. You are. You're disagreeing with God. I mean, that's what we were taught people and fallibility. It goes back to medieval times. But during the first Vatican Council in the 19th century They made it official dogma. The pope is infallible when it comes to matters of the faith. He's not infallible in anything else. He's a human in anything else, but but they call upon the Christ saying to Peter, You are the rock on which I will build my church and that Peter being succeeded by all of these Popes. The line goes right back to Christ, and they are infallible on members of matters of the faith. You cannot question them well. Hope, Pfoutch. The first feels the same way out of what you're seeing as a tax on me. Quite frankly, are attacks on science. Do you hear that? That would be like the pope saying what you're hearing. Is a tax on me are actually attacks on God and Scripture. Fauci has the onions to say that if you disagree with him, you disagree with science as if he Is the great, um Pinnacle. Of scientific fact, because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning have been fundamentally based on science. No, they haven't. We've seen your emails. Pope Fauci Pope vouch The first we have seen your emails. You you Um Tell us about the masks. Tell us in the beginning. Don't get the mask. Then you tell us get the mask. Then you have an argument with Rand. Paul and you say masks are not theater. I'm wearing these two masks for a reason. But then a month later, you take off the mask You knew back in May of 2020. That Transmission outside. Was extremely rare. You knew it and yet You made us where our masks outside in the heat in the cold. It didn't matter for those of us who wear glasses. Do you know what a pain in the ass it was? To have that mask on with glasses. I did it. I didn't want to cause trouble. I did it. But don't turn around now and tell me that an attack on you as an attack on science. And by the way, what kind of science were you doing there? Dr Frankenstein at the Wuhan Institute. Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people. And then the Inconvenient Truth is You may have been giving money. The Wuhan Institute for Gain of function. Research on viruses and then the Chinese because they're sloppy, screwed up and it leaked out of the lab. I don't think they did it on purpose. I don't think they bio engineered this virus to take over the world know they have their They still want to take over the world, but they have a different plan on how to do it. If, in fact, the Covid 19 virus was manufactured by gain of function, it was manufactured so that they could speed up evolution to make a more powerful virus. To figure out a way to attack it. That's what it is. Oh, Pfoutch. Yeah, Let's push back against me. So if you are trying to, you know, get at me as a public health official and a scientist. You're really attacking. Not only Dr Anthony Fauci, you're attacking science. You know, that's like the pope saying You want to attack me about concerning what I said about the interpretation of John's gospel. Then you're attacking God. As we believe that the gospel is the inspired word of God. Why? What? Pfoutch So we can't attack the pope for that? Well, you can, but I mean He has people infallibility. So You're basically saying the same thing. You're it when it comes to science. Why do we have any professors or any researchers when you're it? Anybody that looks at what's going on? Clearly sees that you have no, I don't. What I see is a desperate man. Man who read a little too much of his own press put himself on the cover of in Style magazine has been on every single television show. Would show up at the opening of an envelope. You know, just to be seen and heard. No way. That's what I see photos and I see somebody who now sees it all crashing down around him. So what does he do? He gets desperate. He starts swinging. How do you argue with somebody? If you attack me, you're attacking science. How do you have that argument with him? Well, you look at his emails, right? Have to be asleep not to see that That is what's going on Science and the truth are being attacked. Know your Being attacked. Science and truth are not being attacked. Okay, right. Joe Biden told us when he ran for president. He was going to follow the science. First thing he did. We start going in the other direction of the science, Remember? Why didn't he tell us that you didn't have to wear masks? Why didn't he tell us that? Oh, transmission in schools is incredibly rare. Don't worry, kids don't get kids don't die from the virus. There's been what 200 something deaths of people under the age of 18 in the United States And of those deaths of the people under the age of 18. None of them were healthy, young Children. No. There was something else going on. So, Fauci, you want to talk about an act of desperation. You stand up against me, or you question me. You're questioning science? No, You're a man. Science is science. You are a flawed human being like all of us. You may be very smart. Maybe a doctor. You may be a scientist. But like every other human being, you are flawed. We make mistakes. And now you're desperate. Vouch one more time under what you're seeing as attacks on me quite frankly, or attacks on science. That's you are equating yourself. With signs and by the way, science is wrong frequently. That's why they call it science. Science doesn't start and finish. It's continuous sciences continuous Like The science of the science of global warming. Climate change is settled. No science is ever settled. If science was settled. Then why would why would we have had Stephen Hawking? Basically overturned a lot of principles of physics. Even question to even some of the conclusions of Albert Einstein. Why? Why are we learning? Why are we learning these things? Because science keeps moving forward. Science.

They're gonna unseal them, and we'll be learning Maurin a few weeks here right now. I wanna welcome Michael Bauer from NBC News Radio. Michael, if feels like it's been an eternity since I've talked to you. No, it's been a while. Long time. I don't like that kind of a distance. I I don't either. So, you know, we've been talking about Microsoft founder Bill Gates all morning and really the past couple of days, he said to give a speech to the U. S Chamber of Commerce today, and it's interesting because you know, for years you would think about with everything going on now, with Bill Gates and finding out more about this probe with into a prior relationship with the staffer, and then you start hearing these Seeing these other reports to you know, we have come to accustom do know that Bill gates with this kind of the squeaky clean, nerdy guy would never harm anyone, but he's starting to sound more more like a predator, according to these reports. Likable guy nerdy do gooder. I mean what we knew once Melinda Gates decided to end their 27 year marriage. What we always knew Bill Gates has is somebody who's a global software pioneer building there. Leading philanthropist. Somebody who gave half his wealth of the giving pledge also invested heavily in health care and dressing the climate crisis through he and Melinda's Foundation, But It really started to hear things like we're learning. Bill Gates also developed quite a reputation for we'll call it questionable conduct and work related settings. You're hearing from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal that at times, Gates treated Microsoft the workplace like His own tender like a pickup spot, making advances toward women who worked for him Now, before we get judgy, let's be clear. That's how he met Melinda back in 1987 so While they pitched. This whole origin story between the two of them is her taking a job at Microsoft is a marketing manager him being the co founder and bust a nun. Even power dynamic, but they fell in love. Not married when in the to these massive philanthropy endeavors together When you start to hear reports like we're hearing now you go. Maybe he was just a creep. Maybe he's just a creep on that level because You hear that? Microsoft's board hired a law firm back in 2019 to investigate Gates, who, by the way was on that Microsoft board of directors and that they found that he had begun an affair with a company employee. Back in 2019 years earlier and just six years after his wedding to Melinda and that those sources in the investigation said that this woman was an engineer who worked at the company and she said To have alleged in a letter that she had had this affair ongoing with Gates. For years. Now we have the representative for the company confirming the investigation against representative acknowledging the affair after the divorce information was released, But then you started to hear from other employees, at least on two other occasions. He was doing the same thing propositioning women who worked for him. So while they said it wasn't necessarily predatory, like a Weinstein kind of thing, it definitely created an odd workplace dynamic. That above and beyond that you had now the stories come out about him being friends with Geoffrey. Oh, yeah. Now it kind of tastes. This whole mother twist right, because what we had heard initially with the gates New Epstein over philanthropy that they had met a couple of different times and talked about Millions of dollars in philanthropy. But then what we're hearing from Melinda is a. She reported that she was considering a divorce in 2019. After Bill Gates was going to see Geoffrey. I've seen like dozens of times at Epstein's mansion. Kind of started this whole divorce processing. And then the Daily Beast reported get this. Jeffrey Epstein v. Jeffrey Epstein was giving marital advice to Bill Gates, saying he should leave his wife over a toxic marriage. So, yes, if you're keeping score, Jeffrey Epstein, Convicted pedophile is giving marriage genius and billionaire Bill Gates. Michael Bowers from NBC News radio. I mean, and and that's why you see and continue to hear so many conspiracy theories when it comes to Epstein. I mean, think about it for a second, you You have Bill Gates? You you have. Who's the prey is a prince. Who is the prince over? I don't know what Prince it was over and England but that you, Andrew. Thank you. Yeah, Prince Andrew and locally here in Columbus. You have Leslie Wexner. I mean that, and that's just the start. So it's no wonder the fire continues to be fueled with Epstein and his death because You do? Start to question. Well, Wait a minute. You wonder what did Epstein Oh, from the Bill Gates and Leslie Wexner and and Prince Andrew and the list just goes on and on, And that's That's why there are people that think Someone killed him. Someone had to have killed Epstein, right? I mean, with the power involvement you had Trump's name mentioned you had Clinton's name mentioned Alan Dershowitz is somebody who was involved on some level. Even you can go back to Stephen Hawking had some element of inter interaction with Jeffrey Epstein. So all of that stuff becomes a who's who and then what did they know at? Plus that we forget. Join Maxwell is still out there, and she's facing charges against her. We also know that going back to Jeffrey Epstein's mansion when it was rated there was a bunch of information supposedly from his safe that had Names, documents all on CD, Maybe even people on videotape on some level, so I think there's still a lot that's going to come out of here. But that just means if you're even more closely tied in the case of Bill Gates than we had imagined, and you're starting to sound more like a Hugh Hefner than a Bill gates that might become a big issue for you going forward. Well, Michael, one thing's for sure. The Microsoft board clearly does. They knew something they knew it was you knew was heavy enough to decide. You know what Mr Gates isn't suitable. To be a part of this board. It must have been that heavy. Yeah, And they told us, he says, you know Bill Gates to say that his stepping away from the board and 2020 had nothing to do with the investigation. I guess that was just coincidence. Although we're hearing reports, the board had suggested that he walked away, meaning they probably had already known something was going on. But before they had had or were forced to announce anything, he should probably step away from it. But at the end of the day, they're at least trying to continue to protect his image under that guise. On that This is something that was on the side and shouldn't even really be paid attention to. So when he's going to be making his speech today to the U. S Chamber of Commerce holds in the global Forum on Economic Recovery, I can't help but think that He is going to be thinking the entire time. Everybody looking at him is thinking that he's some creepy old guy on people. As you're listening to him, you won't actually hear him say the words the Microsoft grotto, But the feeling is whatever he's saying. You're going to be thinking. Wow, I wonder if you had a grotto of Microsoft for all these women to be around Michael Powers. I just want to know one thing. What does a Bill Gates pickup lines sound like? Okay. How you doing? How? How's your You need Some help with your software, right? Have you? Have you seen my hard drive works? Okay, that makes it even more.

Yesterday's dini whose professional physics at amazon is taking versity. One of the primary of usage focus is new leaders. Welcome to see you thank you. Yeah thanks for doing this. So i know that you have done a lot of work on neutrinos. You have a few papers. That came out recently. And i want to talk to a twenty eighteen paper dalogue and my own neutrino signatures of primordial black holes. invite you say. These studied primordial black holes ph is as sources of massive neutrinos by hawking radiation under the hypothesis that black holes emit nuclear no bass item states be described quantitatively called the pbs evolution and lifetime is affected by the mass and flew munich dialect my own nature of neutrinos before we get the details celia I wanted to get some definitions of folks would know what black court saw a few episodes of black holes Here we're talking about. The pride won't imprac codes owes The these black holes are fall close to the big bang And then as caulking radiation Sort of The black hole evaporating So to speak and that That lady Imitating these particles called neutrinos. Right is that. Do i understand that correctly. Yes so so pry bhutia blackhaws before we get the neutrinos what is sort of the mechanism of formation their ho- exactly what they have formed sure We believe that Primordial hose could form in the early universe from density fluctuations so We know that any object could can possibly become a black hole if you compress it into a very very small volume so this same process could happen in the universe with Density fluctuations that could be a regional space where there is an over density compared to the surrounding and each of over the east coast past Then then it could get to the point of becoming a black hole This this The details of this process are beyond my expertise But this is fairly reasonable thing to expect and The diesel really small rate in the scheme of things. Yes so when i started to Learn about time or their black holes. I was amazed by how different in mass can be. They can be may be the massive wouldn't but they can also be The mass of Being or they can be Even even smaller so they can really be very very tiny. Yes oh so. That's really really small so this is sort of quantum fluctuations only universe Kind of getting Getting concentrated in vide- small areas But we believe those. Those primordial black holes emit nucleus. we Have to go back to stephen hawking for that stephen hawking wrote this seminal paper Which is about what we nowadays. Nowadays call hawking radiation so he demonstrated that any black hole regardless of what it is could be primordial black hole or a stellar. Nicole doesn't matter any black hole isn't really black because it meets radiations so radiation particles And the the process that we call evaporation so Because a black holes fundamentally gravity objects they would meet any particle that couples to raggedy including trees so It's the moment you have a black hole you do. Have hawking radiation and neutrinos are just that are expected. Part of hawking radiation. You're so caulking radiation so that that happens to every black hole even the even the supermassive ones right so i it said gentle phenomenon And so going to neutrinos now Don't typically thing neutrino site Caltrans and electrons are really well known. neutrinos are particles. Dad don't interact with The matter Espionage don't interact much with matters. We don't really see them. They don't really see them. And and so it's difficult to measure that's right and so so this could you give a. What does the history of neutrino vendor we. I understand such things existed. Let's see We go back to the twentieth century and the story goes That the father of neutrino sees Warfare he. He made the hypotheses of a new particle existing as a way to explain Some strange behavior of neutrinos produced by by nuclear decay so It's it's a long story but Let me just say that For a long time. Neutrinos who just the hypotheses and then around the mead of this twentieth century They would actually officer so we started to Know that this particles existed and But that was pretty much heat. So we didn't know much about the properties And one of these properties the mass which we still don't know i'm easy after all these decades but we still don't know if neutrinos have something like a magnetic went for example And something that we didn't learn until much later on is the fact. That neutrinos oscillate. That's that that sounds. That's something that we that were somehow established Turn of the sanctuary around the around the year. Two thousand really after after decades of of testing with the solar neutrino selling trainers. So there are still there are still a number of no on your trainers. One of them is the mass one and the other one is the The nature of the neutrinos being the iraq particles or miranda particles we She's kind of a fundamental cost. So there are that. That's that's that's related to the fundamental nature of the neutrino as particle break. So so they do. They have a mass but masses small. Do they have a chunk. Neutrinos don't have charge so they are electrically neutral and that's Comedy the biggest reason for for them to be a so allusive as you were mentioning earlier on especially in the in early. Nineteen hundreds all the particle detectors so basically a electro-magnetic detectors they were looking for charge or Magnetic behavioral some sort. So neutrinos don't have that and so they They only have the weak interaction At that that we know wolf and gravity of course and so that's why they They escape detection so so easily because their interaction is very weak. Yeah so so. That's sort of the beauty of neutrinos right so because they don't interact V can go back digits of years. Simple hats Perhaps become pickup one on earth and it would have travelled that distance through all sorts of things but would not have affected wider rate right. Yes and so so the other phenomenon of neutrino is that you mentioned that they also late so are they're failures of tinos they go back and forth. Yes it's It's actually a fairly Easy to this cried kwan to sonam on We know that In quantum mechanics there is this Particles described by these function which is called the wave function. And so the neutrinos could be on. Neutrino could be born as a say an extra and then it's quanta way function would evolve over time in a way that after sometime. The wave function is no longer a purely electron neutrino way function. But the has a little bit or even law actually of a different flavor. It could be a new one or tau. So what we observe in the actors. Is this change of flavor and perhaps the most striking demonstration of this phenomenon is solemn. Neutrinos because we know that the sun produces an extra treatments and It doesn't produce a new on and talion trainers so But here on earth we do Have evidence that the solar neutrino flags that we receive has some You wanna talion. Trina in it and that can only be explained by sedation and Actually after this other neutrino data showed this phenomenon. This was also confirmed by a saint men made experiments so it's a fairly established phenomenon it and so that the flavors are Electron new on tall. Yes that's right and so. Did you understand the vendor made in the sun for example there they are made as electron Neutrinos and by the time they reached the earth day the Immunes dot. Yes yes Impart young. that's that's what happens so ease. It always the case that they get a manufactured so to speak as as electoral neutrinos always. It depends on where they are born. There are places where neutrino sutter born in or flavors. A so it's it's it really varies with With the type of environment We are talking about okay. Okay and so in the people you say ph is this primordial black holes. We talked about radiates right. Handed and left handed dutra knows in equal amounts so anybody right-handed unless the cleaners. Okay let me see so Yes you say. Indicates of dirac neutrinos. pba Left neutrinos in equal amounts possibly increasing deceptive number noon pheno species nest. Yes is that explainable. Yes so right handed than left handed. Neutrinos that may take why to explain what that exactly means me. Just say that It's related to the neutrino mass. So if you're truly knows didn't have a mass which we know they do but if they didn't have a mouse They would only exist as left handed particles which means that basically their spin is Is anti aligned with the momentum and but if they have mass and the iraq particles There could be another type of neutrino which is right handed. Which where the This being ease aligned with a mentor other than anti line and so If you are iraq these these two different species could exist and so instead of having one species of neutrino emitted left-handed one Indicators of a massless trina if we have not suv nutrients than you would have to species and so. The black hole radiate war energy compared to The case when neutrinos don't amass so when we started working on this paper i was interested in this phenomenon that A lot of the literature having to do with a developer. Evaporation of primordial black couls. Consider the neutrinos as massless about. Now we know that they are massive. And so i thought well Sixty speaking at primordial black hole could radiate more energy than previously thought. So i found that aspect interesting and then sees you mention the possibility to increase the effective number of species. That's related to what it was talking about. So then you the black hole would ra- gate more neutrino States or more neutrino Species to spe pseudo speak and then Would increase the number of neutrinos per cubic centimeter Data we observe today so I'm kind of glossing over a lot of these days. But basically cosmology gives us a measurement of this and effective which is called the effective number two species. And if you have this right. Handed neutrinos coming from the primordial black holes. This number could be higher than than expected. And so that would be may be a i way to tell that maybe there are more black holes in the universe yet. So so the hawking radiation essentially creation coming out of black holes Expected defined Expected that over a long period of time. Black holes radiate away lap. Later ray out the mass or information that didn't do it And so this. Radiation is hockey. Radio station is it is a new park. Or is it. Fundamentally composed of neutrinos hawking radiation is made of every particle that no of so A black hole. A camera gate Pretty much everything. Photons neutrinos throngs You loans It said cetera but There is the catch here. The fact that a black hole has a temperature which is another Big achievement of stephen hawking to end and others To that the black hole is thermo dynamical object and so Basically the bigger the black hole the lower the temperature so if the temperature is really low The black hole wouldn't be able to immed- Very massive particles because they are thermal energy would be sufficient for that so because masses energy Mc squared right so because massey's energy If a black hole has too low of a temperature It wouldn't have its quantum energy It's it's Wouldn't be enough to produce the mass off a particular particle for example a proton may be too heavy to be produced by a really low tanto black home so so the beaker. The black called the lower the temperature. Yes ed so. So then can expect the bigger black holes to have more of a neutrino content in radiation. Yes because The bigger black holes would as i said be able to radiate the heavy particles and so they would only be able to radiate away the low mass particles and so there could be black holes that only emit photons gravitons and Neutrinos do a of sort of the distribution of this primordial black holes Isn't you know sort of everywhere. What is what do we know about you. Know some of the distribution of bbc's you mean spatial distribution like where they are now. I'm wondering just like the easy would do sort of look at the early universe will find them everywhere Probably at the beginning they would be a more or less uniformly distributed Bug in the universe. Today they would probably be Behaving like the dark matter. Does they would Be part of galactic halos In other words they would be they would class gravitationally on large structures like a like a galaxy placido galaxy so these call still around They would they would behave like like the dark matter down. So they would be in in halo. Galaxies would have by. Now have april would would they not have disappear because it far it depends on the mass That they have when they are born so their if their mass is less than a certain value that trying to remember Basically yes they would have to By now they would have completely evaporate did their masters larger than they will take longer to evaporate and they could still be around So they roughly speaking the dividing line between a black hole. Steve being around today or not. I think it's something like ten to fifteen grams fiery recall correctly into fifteen clams though So this paper. Eusebio obtained the diffuse flux of right hill. Neutrinos from his idea and so so. So so the nikkei actually act to build these neutrinos. They'd be flying here do pbs specifically In principle that's a possibility we Considered that for certain Masses of these black holes and certain density of this black holes the flux of neutrinos that they generate over time could be fairly large and so we could Detect these neutrinos If we had a very Power who attacked so Now life is never ideally in the sense that a real Ut detector have substantive issues like ground And so on. So at the end of the people we conclude that impact is giving given the limitations that current nutrient doctors have It may not really be possible to detect neutrinos trump mortgage black holes but people. That's a possibility and that alone is interesting. Yeah because they suggestion that this primordial black holes could be as as you mentioned could be part of the dark matter that yes to seeking. Is that still About us that has been. There has been a debate on these Kind of going back and forth in the scientific community The latest i heard is that Black whose could be part of the dark matter. Maybe even a large part but probably not they entire dark matter so a one hundred percent primordial Battery is a bit difficult to justify the day. experimental bowels that we already have constrained so various types but there could be scenarios where maybe a fraction of the dark matter. He's made of primordial black holes. I wanted to go into a ended up paper in twenty twenty supernova neutrinos directional sensitivity and prospects for dissertation here the export potential of current and future liquid cinta league neutrino detectors. I decade old town. Mass a localize a super a supernova neutrino signal into sky in douglas was feeding the core collapse nearby star tens to hundreds of english Coated and don't be constructed policy in the detector can be used to estimate a direction to the star so so this is now neutrinos from supernova and You so so we. We have Idea here that before this opened on what happens. If please open over a time period it is creating neutrinos that could pick up and and potentially get ready to see the super bowl. Yes that's what excites me The fact that Think about bitter jews. Beetlejuice is the most famous nearby star. That could go supernova anytime and we don't know when that's going to happen and If it wasn't for these neutrinos that our paper is about we will know until the style literally Collapses and and then soon after becomes superman but in this paper we we Show that before the star collapses which is the beginning of the supernova process We can detect these. These neutrinos That are used at that at that stage and so increase the pool we could know that You know tomorrow. These days beetlejuice exploding and that that would be quite exciting. Yeah it's beetlejuice is is red joy and reasonably close to was really big star. I can remember Cecilia there was some suggestion that It could go supernova within something one hundred fifty thousand years which is obliquely in cosmic time so it is getting ready to go to Supernova right yes. I am not you formed about exactly the number of years give or take but it's it's ready it's ready. It could be any time and any time any time for an astronomer muse anytime the next thousand soviet so we should. We should hold their breath. But it's ready could be tomorrow. It could be in a hundred years could supernova. I know that this is not part of the paper but could the beetlejuice supernova avenue adverse effect on north really know a supernova is very very spectacular event. it's it's a star that collapses so it implodes i and that explodes and then when he explodes It's very bright. In the case of bitter jews we could. We could see by naked-eye shore but in terms of A fact of each radiation and neutrinos in light on on us and on our daily activities. It wouldn't it. Wouldn't affect them in any way so it's a save Show to just enjoy without any worry. Great answer so you talking about supernova neutrinos so so can be actually detect neutrinos from supernova. What different from what we talked about in the previous people Different from pbs I'm not sure. Can you repeat yes. So the new teen emanating from a supernova different from the Neutrinos of expectancy from a primordial black hole. Yes the the different In many ways disney trails have higher energies. So it's much much easier to attack them and indicates will beat the jews. We would detect thousands or even more of dan millions. Probably of them Indiana so different in the way they are born because in our primordial black hole ordinary black hole The processes volcanoes the asian. Which which is a gravity phenomenon in a supernova. You're born out of the very hot and dense environment That the that that the star as after it has collapsed so star collapsing on its own way to become very dense and so In this very dense in hot environment nuclear processes take place that produce these nutrients. So i guess the main difference is that indicates supernova it's most nuclear phenomenon and in the call is really fundamentally a gravitational sonam. Okay you discover technique in this paper and you saved sin principle possible unique the identify the progenitor star so So the existing technology and ideas discussed in the paper viki see teacup a neutrino decode. Identify valid came from or what direction thing from embed you can go back and look at the in that direction if he find to supernova then you could say that the supernova that created in-principle Yes let me. Just say that There are situations and this is not one of them but there are situations where if you have one neutrino you can point to the pointing the sky. What came from in these case. It's a little more complicated. Because what really gives us. The information is the statistical distribution of these nutrients so we are talking about may be the tax in hundred a hundred Gable take from say be for example and What did detector really observe is not the neutrino is kind of a vector which is related to the products of these neutrinos so this neutrino sues interacts with the interact with the detector. And then out of this interaction you have a positive on the new thrown and those can be observed and you can you can create a factory using these two and then and then these rector will have a certain orientation but each each neutrino coming will give you a differently oriented vector but statistically if you look at the distribution of these factors you you can tell you can you can do for with a certain of course The direction of the neutrinos because these vectors are not uniformly distributed they are they have a non uniform distribution of the direction. And so using this information we can we can define a regional the sky where The new three could come from so we can. We cannot now down to a point but we can now down to maybe a cone of a few tens of degrees Width and then we look in that cone and see what stars that com and maybe be juicy one of them. Yeah so As you say you if you see a few Neutrinos Statistics bution of those will give us some some probability That it is in in some region of the sky. And then you say the paper You can then that if it is happening please open nola. You learnt other observational. Modalities multi messagero rations Invisible in radio and other other types of observations Do actually pick up more data so this is almost like a early alert system If it is in place right yes i would call it a very early I learned to because it's we're talking about maybe our worse or insert very fortunate cases. We are even talking about maybe day Before the assad goes supernova and. so that's enough time to plan for for it so a something that fascinated me When i heard about this from a from a an experimentalist is that there is a human factor which was not aware of but The factories so if you have come up with thirty minutes to plan for watching supernova this may not be enough because it just takes stein to make phone calls and get a hold of people and and decide what to do. Come to a consensus in that. I saw in addition to technical things. Like okay have to maybe turn your telescope Direction which takes time. But i i was really fascinated by the human factor. Those things that if you had style we'd be you can kind of gathered. Relevant people decide something but if you have thirty minutes or or or minutes maybe not so. Yeah yeah i wondered. If such a earlier system is in place Perhaps could be something programmatic. Crises is picking up And you have some you know. Maybe some ai techniques or something like that that identifies the region and it goes. Programmatic returned the telescopes look. Yes yes exactly so. There could be a protocol in place For that so e if a telescope was suitable for observing a nearby supernova which which is not always the case than than now that we showed that it's possible to know beforehand if a star is going to go supernova then there could be some sort of protocol in place already so that when the alert comes which is we can just activated the protocol and oriented telescope. maybe automatically will in some sort of Organized way yeah as you say if you remove humans from the process it becomes not better there is actually already working this direction It's called this new two point. Oh a network which has to do with Exactly these using neutrinos as alert for the astronomy community and That has to do with exactly a creating alerts and also creating protocols for how to react to an alert rate. I want to end the people that just came out. it concordant scenario for the observation of neutrino from the tidal disruption. Even eight hundred twenty nine hundred ninety s t You say be induced at phenomenology concordance canadia with the logistic jet of for the title disruption event Between ninety s jesmyn proposes a source of the astrophysical neutrino event. Ice cube So the title disruption even this is star getting cooler into a black hole getting Getting sucked in rate is that the is that even up to the match yes This is something that we We had about be in in popular science stalks What what happens if you get too close to black hole and It's kind of scary. So the answer is you would be ripped apart because your feet will be pulled in with a strong force than your head and these. This is what happens to two statehouse. Use the star gas to close than by guests Ripped the park. Which is what the tied is option means and so instead of a star Rotating around a black hole we just have a stellar stellar That dr intially. I created by the black hole and so This is something that The happy neighbor cops serve did so so we have. This does happen this particularly Eighty twenty nine hundred ninety s and Bequeath actually see a new cleaners from that particular even so tightness. Deduction events are fairly well established phenomenon in astronomy. We have many of them served They they are Fairly a common plays events But what's special about this particular one. Eighty two thousand nineteen years. G is that We could let's say It could have Produced on neutrino that was detected a ice cube so eighty twenty nine hundred ninety s. She is the first either direction event. For which is coincident. Neutrinos detected a dice. Cube in queens. This coincidence is likely to be accidental. So on approachability estimate tells us that these coins. This is pretty causal not accident so eighty twenty nine hundred ninety. The g could be the parent of this neutrino. And that's that's that's a i. That's very interesting. Yes i skew. is a is a big ice cube in the in. The south is I'm not sure it's exactly cuba. But it's it's the biggest block of is which has been Eastern With values Small detectors So it's it's an array of swarner detectors but yeah it's basically a big block of ice which has been transformed into a detective and so so the idea that this high energy neutrinos from what they were System montemar even that happened Out there this high energy neutrinos passing through that ice q. believe some telltale signs All of that happening and yuxi picked up Then began back Just like you were talking about the previous creeper begin. Please back to a region so this is one of those cases where you can tell from a single neutrino of course the with with a narrower where you can tell the point in the sky where three neutrino kate from. It's doable with one single neutrino because this high energy neutrinos when they enter the is They produce ca a shower so they kind of illuminate. They you me nate. The is but the do it in a way which is very much Beat so and then and then the direction of the the direction of bigotry knows. We have a pretty good accuracy often. How often could be a pickup something like that. Do we have an estimate of how often that would happen. Meaning ice cube detects something like this. Every year ice cube the tax Of the order of ten high-energy neutrinos froth outside our galaxy. Tadesse the number for the entire crop of neutrinos that ice cube has It went we talk about tidal disruption events in the specific these are fairly rare phenomena and so they estimated that maybe a few times so percent of the entire neutrino flux the thais cubeys of serving could be from tidal disruption events. Not much more than that. So we are talking about less than half of the total flats being to tell this option events okay and so the tug disruption burned as as you mentioned It starts getting clipped applaud and pulled back into a into a a black hole but this ten percent. Do they have to be these braces as they call it. The things that have a jet that is sort of lying towards us. Is that it necessarily condition for these types of high energy neutrinos. It's it's a plausible scenario Let me just say that. There is an important difference between blazers in tidal disruption events. In the fact that the ablaze is something that has a jet. She's always on so the jets kinda kerman feature of of these particular galaxy but the title is adoption. Event is transient events. Saw dotcoms creates the accretion. This accretion of the star of the black hole produces flair is flair can last year or two but then it would just fade away so There could be jet and in fact in our paper we present where there is a jet so they partisans the user chat But if there is a jet in tiger disruption event. That's a transient suggested. That's born when This starts to create the stellar debris. And then it's on for months or years and then and then shuts off and it has two point in our direction as you as you mentioned because otherwise we would. We would see the trains your so this high energy neutrinos sillier how. How many orders of magnitude are we talking about coming to the one set you pick up. Let's say from the sun I'm not sure about the question. Can you maybe rephrase yet. So when you say this high energy neutrinos that is coming from let's say a tidal disruption events or something like that How much comedy orders of magnitude more energy Outdoors come to you. Know the ones that might be created the sun a lot menu of this magnitude so It is a big difference. So the sun produces new three meals. over a wide range of energies Higher energy neutrinos from the sun reach energies of the order of ten am pt and mega awards and for the ice cream. Neutrinos we are talking about one hundred of the older one hundred t. v. or even thousand teams. Which would be p so. Let's say maybe eighty tortoise magnitude finding the mass rife or okay and so this e. v. measure it is actually measuring the mass of the neutrino of newfield. Now these these neutrinos are have such a Such high energy that basically It's impossible to know their mass Because because as i said massey's energy so they talk energy of neutrino Detected is to be so high that that percentage view to its mass east so tiny that this practice mutual so i was wondering if we know the energy couldn't be sort of back computer to save the mass is or it doesn't follow The reasoning is a bit different and The way to sink about this is perhaps they let me see the formula for energy particle Which used the rest energy Applause the kinetic energy and So connecticut is so high that he thought the overwhelms direct energy. So it's it's and of course every time you measure the energy when three no. There is a narrow associated with the measurement so You we can't really we can't really tell what What led the boss of the detroit news but both roughtly this. This appears to be sort of an early warning system for many many things right topped the supernova the in the title disruption events producing heightened plano's So this could be sort of inundated with a monkey message. Observations protocols as you mentioned that gives us a higher success. Wait suspect. I would think certainly nominated be one right That's the power of multi messenger astronomy the integration of different signals coming from Photos tree knows navigation waves Causing me craze and Danger plays very powerful emmanuel cases and maybe supernova case is the most striking Xenos come first. But that's not always the case So in the indicates of tidal disruption events Did you know that was observed. Came about five months later than the initial dhammika looser version of the tidal disruption events so It's if it can go both ways. neutrinos can be early alert or they only alert could be for example a radio salvation or or an x-ray use ovation and then and then the neutrino attacked or could Focus a surge in that direction as see what they find which which has actually been done ice cube sometimes. Does these these archival. Search this on the basis of others from From for example x ray or gamma ray surveys interested. Exciting eighty that said a lot to be owned It seems It seems like these till don't know all the production mechanisms for neutrinos but if we have robust with to pick them up on than we can place them back and and talk asking questions What might be there definitely So yes so. People celia the next five years Wanted the aid is that you believe Be will make a significant crocus in this Innovative neutrinos then two different areas. That a very promising One is Broadly speaking Manmade nutrients so there is. There is a big push especially hitting the united states to build Create very powerful beams of trainings and then these beams are manmade. So we know that very well. We know that energy we know the composition and we can use them to learn about The properties of treatments and then That other men bead neutrino experiments where Scientists look for the between months so that's also very promising In something i really. I really excited about that. That may be a furious novel with noble the neutrino mass us from these very high position laboratory experience. Then there is the whole Topic of neutrinos as part of the mouth of mike messenger astronomy and in that area. I think what was was to look forward. To among other scenes is the interplay gravitational waves shock waves. You still Somehow a science of its own into a large extent but there are so many possible connections. We've neutrinos tidal disruption adoption events should produce reputation ways so baranov shoot us gradation ways So so there is. There is a a lot of potential there which is still unexplored in and that's where i see myself Working on in the next few years you adjust very quickly The do gravitational waves travel bid closest and new ashtrays and so if If they both are produced in In uneven they're expected to arrive on earth close to simultaneously. It depends on the timing of the production if the answer is yes the waves ending a knows are born at the same time which may not be exactly true because the physics that governs tation waves is different from the one that that governs neutrinos. So but the difference in timing would be the difference Accumulated that birth But but the two were were generated genetically the same time. They should arrive the same time. Just thinking this a systematic difference in the production time than guan lorries given early warning for the other. But that doesn't seem to do a case right. There could be cases where significant lag in the production of rotation way with respect to the production of the tree nose and one example is. We haven't touched on this before but let me just nation mergers so if we have if we have a merger for example we have maybe a merger of a neutron stars or black hole neutral star before the merger happens so when the two objects that kind of still approaching each other we should start observe serving ways and this is what this is what has been seen so Delight experiment observes these these nominal But if we have a merger After the merger has occurred and the two objects have become one than a. Dan could be the formation of of over an accretion disk and he secretion Trainers which we can which we can back so the neutrino We come After they initially asian waves and so relation as would be the alert for the neutrino.

"stephen hawking" Discussed on Strange Brew Podcast!
"Musk is scared of ai. But at the same time he wants technocracy so so you want the singularity and that's one thing that bothers me about about About elon musk. Now he pretty much like. Hey listen we need to become one right. We need to do neuralink. We need to cook your your brain up to the internet o computer so you can have faster faster information transfer and he wants to become one with the. That's what bothers me about him because it we've seen movies about this shit man it doesn't end. Well nope terminator right. Terminated the matrix. All these movies that are just post apocalyptic in the fucking machinery taken over a low so recently a series of fast radio bursts was picked up by. This is before his death. Stephen hawking's breakthrough listen innovative. Which is they have. Speculated could be coming from a technology of advanced extraterrestrial species but at the same time. I'm not a fan of stephen hawking. So he his you just you just sketches me out. There's something about in that. He's passing disinformation. He thinks he's yeah. He's dead now fucking rest in pieces. But i just think that he was sprayed is information to when that he could have been paid by people. It's like if you bill. The reputation even like neil degrasse tyson. I do like no the rest tyson. He's pretty kind of just has his own routes and he doesn't give a fuck what people really think he makes his own opinions and he knows most times if he's talking about but all these people it's like once you get that status and reputation of being an intelligent person and then maybe you're bay to influence society by the way you speak and what you think and say because they think you're so fucking smart that you could eventually someone could pay that person to say whatever they fucking want. If stephen hawking came out and said the earth is fucking flat because we just covered flat earth. You know there would be a big majority of people that start to believe it because he fucking said it so you guys covered flutter yeah when this comes out to be a couple of weeks ago it's worth a listen because we go hard making fun of these and the fans wanted right. We had a vote. Because i didn't want to cover. I told you i didn't want to cover flat earth because i think it's ridiculous and i didn't want to propose the idea of life are cast but we decided to do because the fans wanted and we definitely went hard on making forest preserves secretly of fucking for definitely am. So we're they're picking on these weird signals from the cosmos believed to be alien origin and the super weird so nearly a century ago. Nikola tesla is supposed to be recorded in electrical signal at his laboratory in colorado springs. That were telling intelligent of nature and tesla had been working on technology for his ward in cliff tower right and when he noticed signals which were not of earthly origin could be ruled out as maybe weather related but he believed the signals were being transmitted from a civilization on fucking mars brow so he developed a vice a sentence that goes back to make contact and they started talking..

Covid Milestones: Eli Lilly CEO on Antiviral Approval & Pfizers FDA Application
"Corona virus cases are hitting new highs in the united states and the cdc is urging the country to keep thanksgiving celebrations small. The recommending americans spend the holiday only with people who've been living in their households for the last fourteen days which means no military personnel. Who plant to come home and no college students back from campus. And this week amid it. All california governor gavin newsom issued a curfew between ten pm and five am for all nonessential work and gatherings in most of the state and the order will remain in place until at least december twenty first perhaps even longer but some good news today as well visor and its partner. Biontech are submitting their obligation to the fda for emergency use authorization of their covid nineteen vaccine. This would be the first covid vaccine that goes through the regulatory process. Here's becky the fda's review process is expected to take a few weeks. Advisory committee meeting on the vaccine is tentatively scheduled for early next month. If it's approved some americans could get their first doses in just about a month's time earlier this week study. Data analysis showed this vaccine to be ninety five percents effective and that's incredibly impressive. Let's bring in meg. Terrell she's got more on this good morning. Good morning becky moving incredibly fast and a really historic milestone this morning the first vaccine to go to the fda for covid nineteen to try to stop this pandemic. So we're going to see this regulatory process. Really play out over the coming weeks. We should here typically the way this works is the company alerts the world when the fda has accepted an application and set a date to decide on the drug. We're in a pandemic of course so those dates are not going to be normal. And the communications might be different to we. Might hear from the fda Either the decision timing that they might be looking at and especially about when they're gonna set that advisory committee meeting to discuss this vaccine. That's when outside advisers get together dig apart all of the data around The vaccine the safety the efficacy the manufacturing and talk about also how this should potentially be approved for the market. And it's possible. We will see an application from dern. They said within weeks So we should see that soon. Too and so the expectation that i heard was that the fda had asked those outside advisors to set aside december eighth ninth and tenth three days to potentially discuss. Both vaccines Now dr john taurus from nbc had the fda commissioners steven hahn said scott gottlieb. Stephen hawking on with him yesterday in a facebook live. He asked him about those dates. Any no he said. The fda was going to be flexible. He wouldn't confirm that they had asked them to set those dates. And so we have been hearing since we reported those dates a lot of people sort of saying. Why is this going to take so long So we will have to wait to see what the empty actually does In terms of scheduling that meeting. They do need time to go through the application themselves very carefully. Prepare the documents the committee and then the committee will discuss it and we do expect the fda decide extremely quickly after that meeting Whether to green light this market and then pfizer in biontech. Say they are ready to go within hours after that That green light to start shipping. This guy's yeah. That was one of the things that really caught my attention this morning. The idea that within hours they'd be ready to start shipping vaccine and getting it out there and that brings up the question of how we do that. How do we distribute this. Where does it go. How do we determine who gets it. I never the states have been working on plans along with the federal government to try and figure out how much each state would get. But how does it work. We do even know. Do we have a real game plan for who gets what. When and how we know part of that. So operation warp speed an eighty just secretary alex as are held. A briefing about those plans are earlier. This week And essentially what would happen after. The fda gives the green light if it does then. The cdc has an advisory committee as well that would meet to make recommendations about. Who should get this vaccine. I if there are two vaccines if there are any differences in them you know which groups should get which dosing of that stuff So that's expected to happen extremely quickly. And then the cdc makes recommendations about how much each state should get Secretaries are based on population. We also know of course that because supply will be so limited that there are going to be prioritized groups. Healthcare workers are expected to be at the top People with underlying health conditions that make them more severe. More vulnerable to severe disease will also be at the top so We'll see how that gets allocated to the states based on what. The group recommends
True Mysteries of the Pacific Northwest
What time is it?
"We're GONNA talk about time. Most states in the United States south time changes spring forward set clocks forward in the spring fall back set clocks EXPEC then you have time zones across the United States and around the world fly far enough and you'll lose a day or gain a day depending upon which way you're going when you perform perform the same activities of over and over the day seemed to fly by or drag depending on the activities for your day with new activities for the day may fly even faster faster. Depends upon who you talk to. There was a time in my life when I worked with people. WOM One and with some clients I would look up at the clock and watch a hand and the clock move from one block bark to another would seem like ours would pass and I look at the clock again only to see that it had just been a minute. Ah Yes perception. But what about time. Slips time warms is time travel possible to Great Luminaries Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking gave us. It's a simple answer. Yes but the conversation on time travel is filled with what is exactly. What did Einstein have to say about time travel? I'm Stein's theory of special relativity says that time slows down or speeds up depending upon. How fast you move relative to something else? Approaching the speed of light person inside a spaceship would age much slower than his twin at home. Also under Einstein's theory of general relativity. Nobody gravity can bend time picture. Four dimensional fabric called space time when anything that has mass sits on that piece of fabric it causes a dimple or bending of space time the bending of space time causes objects to move on a curved path and that curvature of space is what we know as gravity both the general and special relativity theories have been proven with GPS satellite techniques. That has very very accurate timepieces on board the effects of gravity as well as the satellites increased speed from Earth relative to observers on the ground make the unadjusted clocks gained. Thirty eight microseconds today. Who Thirty Eight microseconds does sound like much of a time change to me? Let's let's continue here engineers make calibrations to account for the difference in a sense. This effect called time. dilation means astronauts nonce were time travellers as return to earth very very slightly younger than there are identical twin the remains on the planet. What did Stephen Hawkins' I have to say? About time. Travel Hawking famously held a party for time travellers but did not send out the patients until after the party. No one showed for the festivities but the scientists right that there is still hope the traveling back in time could be possible according to the laws of the universe he pigs is this notion on the premise of something called m theory that suggests the universe may contain seven hidden dimensions in addition into the familiar four dimensions of space time rapid space travel and travel back in time can't be ruled out. According to our present understanding he writes. This is hawking. Science fiction fans need not lose heart. There's hope in theory you have to look hockey's M theory it's a little too long and complex likes for this podcast. There's a lesser known theory about time travel. Though is commonly referred to as the step theory it takes into account that theories expressed grasp both hawking and Einstein. They're multiple dimensions. The step theory states that although there are multiple dimensions they are parallel. Exactly to who are on that some run ahead of ours and some behind and there are umbilical warburton holes or the dimensions overlap further. That many of us unknowingly walked through these openings periodically the Dacia Fu is an example one. Conventional Science Science can't explain that is stepping into a dimension that is slightly ahead of your own. You know the feeling that you've been to displace before or met this person before or even particular activity before but that most of us shake off the feeling as being just a little strange whatever theory you embrace. It's is fairly realistic to state that in the next not too distant future we maybe stepping forward or backward and Thomas easily stepping onto an escalator skeptical. It wasn't that long ago that the concept of traveling in space let alone landing on the moon was stuff of fiction and the greatest scientific minds signs of that era declared the idea ridiculous impossibility. That's sad a little less than fifteen hours ago. I stepped into the future where I sit now.
A Moment of Science
Electronic Mind Reading
"The one thing that science will never be able to do is find a way to read our minds PT sure about that time, if our thoughts are actually patterns of activity in the brain. It's at least possible that neuroscientists could find a way to detect and decode them zones, really hard, if not impossible. Well in twenty nineteen researchers made important progress towards the skull. They placed a grid of over one hundred recording electrodes into the auditory cortex of the brains of patients that were undergoing brain surgery to treat epilepsy with this electrode, grid, they monitored electrical activity in the auditory cortex, while patients listened to recordings of actors reciting a series of sentences and the numbers from zero to nine join to interpret the data from more than one hundred electrodes all recording. At once sounds hopelessly. Complicated. That's why the neuroscientist used artificial intelligence to interpret the recordings. They trained a deep learning neural network computer program to use the recordings from the patient's brain to reconstruct, the content of the sentences the patients heard then they tested, the trained neural network program by asking it to reconstruct. The reading of the digits, the program was capable of reconstructing intelligible speech from the neural recordings. Let's not exactly the same as reading thoughts, but it's an important step in that direction. Scientists already know that the sensory portions of the cortex are also used for thinking imagining the technology could be useful for people like the late physicist, Stephen hawking who have difficulty communicating to serious speech, handicaps this moment of science comes from Indiana, University.

Why are we all so excited about the black hole image?
"There was so much excitement. This week around seeing the first picture of a black hole. Why was it deserving of so much excitement? Ferriol? I think part of it is that it's a new frontier, it's something we haven't seen before it's something that we didn't even think we could see and it's been so long in the making both the technological developments and the theoretical understanding to interpret the data. So I'm I'm really happy that everybody's excited to see the image. Shep you said in the press conference and even here on on our program that black holes are essentially unseasonable. So how do you explain what we're seeing that? We are seeing one now. Yeah. See there naked. If there's nothing around them, but black holes attract just everything around them because they're intense gravity, and they're trying to get into a small volume that it's like when you rub your hands together. They get hot all the fiction heats that guest hundreds of billions of degrees. So black holes are surrounded by these three D flashlights of this hot luminous plasma. And then there. Gravity warps the light from that plasma into these distinct shapes. You're really seeing Einstein's geometrical gravity laid bare. You're seeing just how light moves along space time yet, Einstein even though he came up with the theory about warping space that he not well, he wasn't really convinced that black holes might exist. Yeah. Got. He did struggle with that far awhile the theory. I mean, practically breaks down at the center of a black hole, it predicts a singularity an infinite space time curvature and energy density. So he was very unhappy with that. And he thought maybe there there's a reason why nature would not form. These objects talk a little bit Ferriol about the image itself. So we can explain to folks because it's it it's not quite wooded appears to be a lot more stuff going on there. And let's get right into the reddish ring of light. We're is that coming from? That is coming from right from the inner part of the accretion flow and the base of the jets so uh ship was saying as this plasma. That's the black hole gets from the stars around it swirls around and makes its way down to the black hole. It heats up and the emission that. We are seeing at this particular wavelength of light is coming from right outside of the point of no return. So there's the event or orison outside of that is the photon ring and outside of that is the the part that that truncates the disk and where where we think jets form. So the source of the light is right in the vicinity of that point of no return, and it is being lens than to the circular shape. Well, that's the that's the question I'll continue with that. Because if if it's a three dimensional image shouldn't that shouldn't it be surrounded by that glowing red, so we should? Not be seeing into it as we look straight. That's a very good question. And it's something that I with worked out twenty years ago. So part of the reason we are seeing it is because it's Taurus shaped, so it's not really completely spiritual. But even if it were we have to pick a wavelength of light that satisfies two things. One is we wanted it to be emitted right near the horizon. So it lights it up. We didn't want something that comes from farther away. But it's a double edged sword as you're saying if there's too much of that light too much of that guess then it will interfere with our ability to see down to the horizon by picking the one point three millimeter wavelength of flight. We're we have walking that tightrope. There is light that is lighting up the black hole. But it is not so much that it is actually obscuring our view to the black hole and ship. Actually, is it not true that that light that is heading toward. Toward the black hole will be bent around the back of it and come forward towards us. So it's still say's still face black that way. Yeah. It's a it's a good idea to try to hide behind the black hole because the light from me will always be bent around when in one thousand nine hundred when they looked at it affliction of light during a solar eclipse of stars to verify Einstein at first the deflation was one two thousand of a degree. And now we're looking at light that does loop two loops. So it's a completely different ballgame from that perspective. And and your Senate very, well, you have this flashlight this this light that's close to the event horizon. But not in the event, of course, and with that means that the latest Lynn's around this last photon orbit all the light grazes this last photon orbit. If it goes a little bit inside there is lost forever in the event horizon. And with that means is that we see a ring, which is a projection on this three dimensional flashlight. But then for example, if there were another civilization fail screwing the Milky Way. They would also see a ring or in eighty seven. They would see that ring to. So everybody gets to see a ring because of the Lenzing Einstein's gravity. Why? Then is some of the ring whitish seems brighter than red. Oh, it's a phenomenon that it goes from what very was saying the gas is moving around so quickly. It's a near light speeds. So when it defends all the way into this gravitational, well, it's really moving quickly. And when material moves that fast when it emits light the light is boosted energy in the direction, it's moving. So you're seeing some of the gas coming towards us from underneath the black hole. It seems like it orbits clockwise around. What you see that? And so it's bright on one side and on the other. So is it like a candle? It's hotter. As on that side to a glows brighter. Brighter. It's not so much hotter. Right. So so the color map that we've chosen is a good representation of how bright it is. So the the parts that you're seeing in a lighter color are actually the brighter parts, and that is the reason is the swirling plasma. So the half of it roughly the half that's approaching us is the sprite or emission. And the part receding from us is slightly damore. Chef you talked about that. There is still light inside the black hole. What happens to that light in their la-? Well, there's no light coming to us from the within the event horizon. But as very sad, you have gas always falling into the black hole at all levels. And it emits you really not seeing anything too much interior to the last orbit which that ring that UC everything that is in there tends to go through the event horizon. We don't see it anymore. It just disappears from our causal existence. But where does it go? Well, that's that's the interesting you Larry. Right. If anyone tells you they know don't believe them. This Stephen hawking spent his life trying to figure that out. Didn't he? Well, I. Yeah. I wanna see I think for many people in in our collaboration. It was. It was bittersweet. We lost even hawking just a little while before we made this discovery we had a chance to describe it to him a little bit which was great and wish he'd been alive to see it. Our number eight four four seven two four eight two five five we have so many phone calls. I'm going to get to them after I ask a couple more questions at a lot of people been asking of can you explain the difference between the event horizon, and you you touched on a bit the event horizon the black hole and black holes shadow. Sure, I can do that. So Geno, relatively not only predicts this point of nor return, which we call the event horizon. But it also predicts the existence of a few other special distances from a black hole. The first one is when matter starts plunging in we call it the innermost stable circular orbits. I know it's a mouthful, but it's basically the last points that matter can be in actual orbits around the black hole. If it's interior to that is just gonna start plunging in next up closer to the black hole is the photon ring the point where the lights does the Luke two loops and makes a really bright image that we are able to see as a as a circle in the sky and interior to that is is the event or Isan. And that's where basically the everything is moving toward the singularity. There. The space time have switched. Signs, and that's where all hell breaks loose. So if we were falling into the black hole, we would know that we're going through these places, maybe we would put ten -cially notice the innermost stable circular orbit. But after that, we're just falling in, and we wouldn't necessarily know that we've crossed the horizon it's for a distant observer like us that's these things become

"Our permission and agreement. It's hard to do. But that should be the goal period. That said nations should be compassionate. We should have effective immigration laws. When you see a column of people that's made up of women children and young men who wanna get across to avoid danger in Guatemala Honduras. It's hard to consider them invaders. Okay. Now, you talked about the importance of a nation should be able to control its borders. President Trump has sent thousands or will ultimately sent he says fifteen thousand US soldiers to the border to control it what there's been some pushback from from various senior military figures. Would you be among them? I don't think it's the move that. I would recommend. I think it also plays to emotion. I actually think it was designed to go before the midterm elections to meet with the idea of invasion of this caravan. But it's actually should be viewed separate from should we control our border? I think that shouldn't be a debate. That's something that we as a nation should do. But when you send a bunch of troops down to the border, and there are some legal limitations of what they can do you need to make sure that you explain to the American people that this isn't a classic invasion, and our soldiers aren't going to man the ramparts and shoot the invaders. Because that's an accurate. Okay. Except we know that President Trump has said I'll tell you this anybody throwing stones rocks like they did in Mexico where they badly police and soldiers in Mexico, we will consider that a firearm implicit in. That is the idea that they might be shot at well. I think it would be dramatically. Tragic to put soldiers in a position where they particularly shoot immigrants moving forward. Okay. And not as wet this. I mean, this is fascinating. It is an extraordinary issue. But there are senior military figures. General Jim WBZ who oversaw the effort to build the Iraqi army and police I think you'll know these figures he said, the militia was where the military is being used for partisan political purposes it's dangerous because it will political politicized the use of force in ways that democracy should avoid now. He said that actually just about the sending of the troops. And he's right. I think do because. Right. I think that we've used military force for political reasons as far back in history as you can record it that said, it doesn't make it right? Particularly for symbol like this for internal domestic politics. I'm critical of this move. But what I want to make sure we don't do is. We don't then say what we should control our borders. Of course, we should. We need to make sure that's clear sometimes we get around the political rhetoric. Forget it can you imagine the image would come up if immigrants came forward, and we use physical force against them. I mean, what it would do to the United States reputation in the world to the morality of the soldiers put in that position is unconscionable. Okay.
