The pilots of Omuamua were probably like: “oh sh*t we took a wrong turn and accidentally passed through that solar system with those weird primates, hopefully they didn’t see us.”

The first posted video that I've seen with CHAPTERS! That's a great addition.

"That could be the case if it was a supernova that occurred last century ... the star went supernova sometime in the 90s". Wow, this hit me kind of hard. I still tend to think of the last century as the 1800s.

A science youtuber who doesn't just read facts off of a paper while trying to fit in some lame jokes, but instead comments on those facts and offer differing opinions is amazing. Never seen you before but I'm a fan.

His face and personality in these videos makes his awkward joke pauses perfect.

Joe: What if you woke up one morning, and the sun just gone
Me: Then it wouldn't be morning then would it ;)

Funny how the aliens took one look at us and made a quick U-turn and get the heck outta here.

Ok, i have one that isn't about space...and maybe you already did it, but....here it is;
Back in the olden days (before cell phones and CGI) we were taught that dinosaurs were cold blooded reptiles that dragged their tails and were about as dumb as a smart rock. At some point we found out that they were warm blooded, held their tails horizontally, had feathers, were relatively intelligent and were related to birds. The person at the forefront of these revelations was Robert T. Bakker.
How about a segment on Bakker (himself a very interesting guy!) and the "evolution" of our understanding of dinosaurs?

Hey 👋 Joe lately I’ve been wondering about how mold can effect a human Neurologically. A friend told me it’s what causes old abandoned houses and buildings to feel haunted and why you might feel as if something is watching you or a presence in the room as well as seeing dark shadows in the corner of your eyes but when you look nothing is there. That sounds wild to me.

I'm loving this Joe - the universe is just so bizarre, it makes the bizarre seem normal.

Joe Scott: What would happen if the sun didn’t pop up one day?

Watching Avi Loeb's evolution from 'respected Harvard astrophysicist' to 'guy who talks about aliens on YouTube' has been one of the many adventures of the pandemic.

Hi - just wanted to clarify - though Thiem Hoang currently works as an astrophysicist in Korea, he is actually Vietnamese.

I think "a Korean astrophysicist" may leave the impression that he is Korean when in fact he is Vietnamese. Though this may seem like a trivial detail, I think for countries that are often labeled as "third world" or "developing, " it is important to point to individuals or other successes that may help combat that narrative.

OK I have to say my patreon money was totally worth the Shawshank Redemption reference

When you said “last century” but meant the 1990’s, I felt ancient.

Shit, I'm actually quite early. Finally my chance to ask a question: I'm subscribed to you on both nebula and youtube, I still end up using youtube a lot for convenience, do you get the nebula bucks regardless or are those still view based?
