Without the drums, it feels like we showed up to your home office uninvited. "You... again? Fine. Here's more science stuff."

[RENCHER]

Without the drums that spin around is just creepy.

[adrianjakubiak]

I started watching it with this attitude: 'man, I don't know if I'm in the mood for science this morning'. And yet, one minute in, I was completely hooked and full of fascination. Joe, you are a truly gifted science communicator!

[GiulioImparato]

"there might be a ninth planet, called Planet X"


**confused roman noises**

It’s Erie to watch him turn around in his chair without the music, it makes him seem like a super villain, or something

[JonathanBunceUK]

Where are my drums Joe? WHERE ARE MY DRUMS?!

4:41 It's 3AM on Space TV and: *Are you an M Class Star having trouble fusing Hydrogen? Has your astrophysicist ruled out chronic Hydrogen deficiency in the nebula you formed in? If so, you might have qEDP, a serious condition preventing vital elements from cycling through your system, as a direct result of quantum negligence. If eligible you may be owed significant compensation from the board of electrons. Call now to get screened by your nearest observant civilization as soon as relativistically possible.*

Telling someone not to put things in boxes is like telling someone to not be human. Not only is it impossible, its denying something that makes everybody's lives easier. We should just accept that categorizing comes with being human.

You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your bongos. </3

[hearmerant]

"The universe is far weider than out taxonomy." Is an amazing line.

[exodeonsalviej]

"The universe is indifferent to your OCD."

*Clears my throat.* I will have you know that my OCD is the size of betelguese.

I found a brown dwarf circling my toilet bowl. The coriolis effect gave it bands as the accretion disc swirled the black hole drain creating an active defecate nucleus beam from the bowl WHICH IS WHY YOU ALWAYS PUT THE SEAT AND LID DOWN WHEN YOU FLUSH

[seanweir]

Awesome David S. Pumpkins reference. That's actually why I come here, for those on point pop culture references.

[bronwynecg]

"Dost thou even hoist, Jupiter?" 😂😂😂 💀

[JLHunter]

Damn you, Joe! When the "typing" cat popped up, I spit my apple all over my laptop and screen, and choked on the rest! Hahaha. It's YOUR own fault that I had to stop watching this video to clean up everything. I hope you're happy!

[williamswenson]

Monday, ugh. Joe Scott, hmm. Good idea, I could use a mood lift. Um, brown dwarfs. Well, if nothing else, it will be interesting...wonderful crescendo from the sight gags (definite mood lift) to the writers conference. Open-mouthed laughter. Thanks, Joe. You have primed me for the week.

[kylekirkparick]

I love when I happen to be online when vids are posted. Like, OOOOHH!!! Pause everything, cuz this is important! I love this channel with all of my brain.

8:16 "...the missing matter that we're looking for could be out there, we just can't quite see it" That about sums up my reaction to dark matter ever since I started hearing about it. It's been kind off a gut feeling, but it's nice to hear of some theory that speculates on it !
Great stuff, love the humor, keep up the good work !

[tigxracing]

From Psychopaths to the Universe, One thing for sure you are entertaining. Keep it up joe love your stuff.

Twenty-five years ago, we found Bellerophon. I remember that day when the announcement was made. I remember thinking "Finally, there are worlds out there..." and now we have found thousands of these worlds, of all sizes and masses... and I still remember something my grandmother said to me once.

"the universe does not care what you think or feel, it does not conform to your expectations or accept yur excuses... Accept this my young friend and you'll be better off for it."


After having watched humanity's exploration of the universe these last three decades, I can only conclude that she was right all along.
