Joe Scott! I absolutely love these cross-over episodes! Imagine JMG, Mr. Scott and Isaac Arthur in one podcast, oh my!

[uisgeuisce]

Joe On Event Horizon? I'm daydreaming 😊. You guys are all life savers!!!!

[l.siqueira]

Event Horizon is like an oasis of subjects that really matter in the middle of a wasteland of futilities and useless information. Every time I hear this show, I feel like my mind has found a refuge where it can rest and recharge its energies, thinking only about ultimate questions. I love this channel!

[alexandervarga]

This has to become a weekly series. Both amazing funny and intellectual guys just having a great convo. I can sit here and listen to this for years

[dancingwiththedogsdj]

Yes! Event Horizon, Isaac Arthur, and Dr. Becky videos! Just waiting for Anton Petrov and my day will be complete! 🚀🌎❤️🌮🔭📡

"Light Does Not Experience Time, Nor Do You"

[jasonclow]

Joe Scott is awesome! Love the collaborations with him and other YouTube science communicators.

[MrTTism]

This one went by too fast. I could listen to you two for hours. Great episode!

"Mysteries and Miracles with Joe Scott."

[mccoybyz]

I know this isn't typical for your channel but I gotta say it's really fun and entertaining just to hear you two very interesting individuals just talk about whatever or maybe I should say wherever the conversation leads! Joe's a really cool guest and hope to see future episodes with him or have more people like him! Anyways, love this channel and it's one I highly recommended anytime I can!

When it comes to stuff like " I had a dream about my relative and they died that night" I consider that to be either the subconscious already knew it was coming due to cues your conscious doesnt pick up on or actively ignores. Or as well the possibility of your brain subconsciously doing the math and reasoning out that something is likely to happen probability wise while your conscious has absolutely no clue.

Look John, most people get a little bit of luck in life here and there, I know you are being modest, but the main reason that your shows do very well is due to the hard work that you and your team put into them, allied with your great knowledge and presentation and production skills of the team you have !
The quality of the guests you have on puts you, in my opinion, well within the top ten of shows of this type of subject matter !
I and many thousands of others have enjoyed your shows for many years ! Well done to you Sir !

[JammieDodger]

What an absolute treat. Thank you both.

[realzachfluke]

I guess you could say that the photon, indeed, has _no time to lose!_ (Quoting Matt O'Dowd from PBS Space Time lol)

[frankhumphreys]

YouTube is nice for me cause people like you two. I literally only know 3 people that talk about ideas. My life is sooo baren of intellectual interaction. I have to talk with myself about everything John talks about. Thank you for your content.

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself Joe . You have directed and stared in at least one more feature film than most people .
I honestly enjoyed Ocean Front Property, and thought it was a pretty damn good directorial debut.

[georgejones]

Light slows down when it passes through something other than a vacuum, such as water and glass. There have also been experiments where light has been slowed down to only a few miles per hour. Does it then experience time passing under those circumstances?
Maybe the photon would have thoughts similar to those of the sperm whale that materialized above a planet in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.

[brianhealy]

I'm a regular viewer from Ireland I'll say hello if i ever see you over here

[NefariousKoel]

That's been my big question, too. If photons don't experience time, and quantum entanglement is a thing, then wouldn't that imply the universe still has facets which behave as if it was all still a pinpoint in some way, like at the point before the "Big Bang"? As if some parts of it exists in a lower amount of dimensions than we do?

[seriousmaran]

So is this All about Joe Scott and me or photons? Still good.
