Man Ed is awesome. I always stop what I'm doing whenever a video like this pops up just to listen to this man's calm explanation of such tantalizingly complicated topics.

Dr. Copeland has such a soothing lecturing voice!

I definitely hope (and pretty convinced) that some of the pending and already ongoing research projects for the JWST are pretty much in alignment with prof Copeland's listed wishes.

He'd need to eat ALL his vegetables with a wish list like that.

Can we 'unstretch' the infrared light back into visible light and generate true colour images of objects?

[DalecarliaAstro]

Could you talk about Cotton Gravity which is supposed to be a generalisation of GR? Or is it too early to say anything about the theory?

I like listening to intelligent people speaking - the more you know the less you know

My wish is for the thing to NOT be hit by small flying meteorites..

These types of discussions are certainly more philosophical than scientific.
