My man PBD getting that brain pump this morning.

[stewy]

So you're telling me, instead of giving over $200 BILLION to a foreign war, we could be building a solar telescope to look at rivers on far away planets?!?! That pisses me off!

[ryanbarringer]

I love when two unrelated of my favorite podcast people come together.

[TheMighty_T]

Congrats PDB, getting such quality guests, outside your speciality zone, is a great move. Never stop expanding your interests and minds.

[EliasAlucard]

As an Assyrian with a quarter Armenian ancestry, and really interested in astronomy, and an avid follower of David Kipping's Cool World YouTube channel, I'm really proud of PBD for having such a great guest. Kipping knows what he's talking about. Your next astronomy guest should be John Michael Godier (Event Horizon on YouTube), he's great too, and every time JMG and Kipping get together, it's a highly educational and enlightening discussion, great stuff! Keep up the great work PBD, the Assyrian community loves you!

[mallcartking]

Love the patience that David showed. It was definitely the same patience we show 4-year-olds that ask silly questions

[CoCo-Janel]

David should be the face of astronomy, not that weirdo Neil DeGrass Tyson. David is much more knowledgeable and is actually working in the field.

[sambradshaw]

I never thought I would understand something better than PBD 😂

[Burning_Babylon]

I imagine pbd walking around w his cigar at a valuetaiment meeting saying "we gotta get more quirky intellectual minds like lex and rogan guests" thats the new wave amirite? Good choice Pat

[hightierplayers]

This crossover was not on my bingo card, but its very welcome!

[surendarvijay]

Does anyone else feel out of the world videos make you sleep better? I don’t know why, but the most “out there” vids and conspiracies make me sleep better. I used to listen to horror stories to sleep previously, but they’ve lost their effect.

[daniwhite]

What a gifted speaker he is. I could listen to him for hours

[tibjgsr]

Some of these comments were made 11 hours ago but this started 49 minutes ago, so time travel is possible after all 🎉

[christopherpyle]

PBD with less politics is so much better and the conversation is much more intelligent

[melanieeccles]

Okay, let me get this straight. On the one hand, David said that as the sun becomes brighter the CO2 diminishes so there is and inverse relationship between them. Okay, he also said that we are currently at 400 ppm in terms of CO2 in the atmosphere. As the sun increases in intensity, the CO2 goes down. If the CO2 reaches 10 ppm we will then be in trouble - like in a billion years or so. Okay, so when we get below 10 ppm plant life ceases to grow. Okay - no plants - no animals - no life. Why then are we concerned about adding a little bit of CO2 to the atmosphere if our sun is continually reducing the CO2? At some point it seems obvious that we will need to generate more CO2 in order to combat the negative effects of the sun. Why spend Trillions of dollars to mitigate CO2. What am I missing here. David seems to be contradicting himself. I believe what is driving this whole "climate change" agenda is corporate interests in the money that can be made at every level of the game. The "fear factor" to win elections; the government investment in the "research" companies; the corporate "funding" of such research; the ROI on the technology being created to "reduce CO2"; the "accolades" sought after by the politicians for "cleaning" up the atmosphere; and so on, and so on, and so FOLLOW THE MONEY people. The level of CONTRADICTION in his presentation is absurd.

[frankreichl]

Tom and Adam needed to be in this conversation so they could argue if it's a red planet or a blue planet.

[isackchane]

Patrick never in a million years would I think you'd be speaking with an astrophysics but man I'm proud of you

[brandonwheeler]

I do love how he says climate change is a political question but the funding isn't political.

[podunkest]

As someone who has been a total astrophysics nerd his whole life as well, you are an absolutely wonderful interviewer of scientists, PBD. So many people don't ask the most basic, but best question.. HOW do you know that? I could tell David was pretty tickled with your genuine curiosity and appreciated your questions and your ability to comprehend it, even though it's not necessarily "your thing."

[paulrowan]

My memory says: I once heard Art Bell take a call from a lady who said: We know that we will eventually destroy civilization. Because if we did not eventually, then we would eventually figure out time travel. And, if we figure out time travel, we would come back from the future to our present time. And we have not come back from the future to the present time. So, our civilization is fated to end eventually. Before we would invent time travel.
