I know you don’t really look at comments much so I doubt you’ll see this but I’ve been a huge fan for a long time & just want to say thank you, lex. For inspiring me every day & teaching me more than I ever could’ve learned in school. You’ve made me addicted to learning, thinking deeply, & with nuance. These conversations are truly priceless works of art.
❤😮 ❤The first
Weird, he mentioned binary planets and then super earth having too much gravity to escape it, and it made me think, what if what they detected is actually a binary pair and not one giant rocky planet 🤔 super Earth's always seemed odd to me conceptually. Anywho, great episode!
Awesome interview! A person I think you should interview about Alien civilizations and visiting other solar systems, please interview Andrew J Higgins. Fraser Cain did an interesting interview with him about interstellar travel.
Such of fascinating episode! It just takes you beyond imagination.
Every time at night when I let a video play on without paying attention, this damn interview is always the next to play in que. Wtf.
Same,it's annoying and gives me weird drams
Hi! Yep! Me too! 😮
Ikr lol
I wonder if there’s a way to stop it
Same
Thanks for having me on Lex, and for such a deep and thoughtful discussion.
Professor Kipping, you're amazing. We need more people like you pushing the limits of space hypotheses, exo planet/moon discovery and just overall your outside-of-the-box thinking that's landed you the following you have today. Keep it up, you're a light in the darkness of space. 😎
I love sci-fi and listening to conversations like this. But it’s also sad. In essence, all I hear are the same old fantasies of ruling the universe as we kill ourselves with stupidity. That said, I was relieved to hear that acknowledged sincerely longabout 3:02:32
I have always felt the same as you defend since being introduced to the Fermi Paradox. But you are the first academic I have seen that makes the argument for being alone. I think being the "first", or even believing that we are the first, is a profound and powerful idea.
Giant fungus, I almost fell off my chair laughing! I thoroughly enjoyed your interview.. very thoughtful with depth.
Are you single lol I’m in love
I’m so proud of humanity that 4.6M brilliant people have watched this podcast! 🥰
I am no intending to blow it for you, but I usually sleep with autoplay on. It is not the first time that I have woken up to this episode. Today I woke up like 15,20 minutes in i think :)

Such a good point. I'm starting to realise maybe there is more genius out there than I realised
You actually estimated how "much genius" is out there? I'll give you one thing: although I'm not sure how any person/group of people *could possibly* go about doing that, it would have been a rather unique endeavor.
They are both so articulate and thoughtful, but also both so good at having a back and forth conversation. It was a compelling watch.
I was here to type same thought.
This is how I relax in the face of possibly terminal illness. Knowing people like these two beautiful humans exist and are trying their best to keep an eye on the ball… just gives me an almost religious sense of hope for the future… in the face of a very uncertain future, that’s truly a gift. I aim to repay that gift in any way I can, big or small, to my very last breath. If you’re reading this in the future, my fellow archaeologists of the weird and wonderful, then know that I love you. Whoever and whatever you are.
❤ get doing that Wim Hof
Prayers for you! 🙏
I wish you peace and happiness
This honestly put a smile on my face and is truly encouraging to see someone displaying such admiration for individuals who most would dismiss simply for discussion of vastly misunderstood topics as these. Best of “luck” to you as we current humans still say
Hope you feel better 👍
I am 56 yr old, and these podcast blow my mind. When I was in school, there was no way possible to hear conversations like these. A basic science class with a average educated teacher was not really stimulating. Lex gets extremely fascinating people on the cutting edge everything you could imagine and probably never imagined. I kind of sad that missed out conversation like these.
Something that has fascinated me recently is listening to lectures from the scientists and public intellectual's of the past. It really insightful to learn how they thought about the direction society would take, and what advances they expected would change the world versus what really ended up taking place
Im 46 and I love KZhead, I listen to lectures and watch documentaries on so many topics that interest me all the time. Especially Religious, Spiritual and Occult topics that use to be so few and far in between we can even get Ancient Alien episodes on KZhead and I learned so much about so many things on that show not even about aliens just history and Science based. As you said these Pod casts are excellent listening to convos as an outsider is so cool.
Amen brother. I’m 56 and I honestly think I’ve learned more in the last few years, listening to content like Lex and his guests, than in all the many years before that 😊
Absolutely, whenever I find myself commentating on such subjects unfortunately I get " why bother thinking of such things " it doesn't matter kind of thing like who cares , does my head in .
As a 60s baby from the era of 3 perhaps 4 📺 channels the Roswell NM incident along with the Kecksburg PA fascinated me. I loved listening to Art Bells show on AM 📻 radio
David Kipping is a very good example of intelligent life as a creation of the universe. I really wish more people were as kind and smart as him
This has to be your best podcast ever. Great guest. So informative and brilliant questions asked.
OMG! Prof Kipping! I watch "Cool Worlds Lab" for years now and I'm beyond happy that he could spare some time for Lex and us. Thank you so much!
I saw this pop up and it blew me away. Awesome to see
same I saw the thumbnail photo instantly recognized him and got so excited.
Lol! Same reaction, cool worlds labs is cool.
I couldn’t click fast enough. I’m pretty sure I’m about to hear nearly 4 hours of awesomeness!
Rogan and youtube saved my life. I rarely watch JRE now but he introduced me to so many ideas and people. Lex is standing on the shoulder of a giant and he has snatched the grasshopper out of his hand. Not only has Lex introduced me to so many great people and ideas (just subbed to cool worlds 😎) but had incredible episodes with people I learned of through Joe. The Duncan Trussel thumbnail popping up was like Xmas morning! I love them both, I think I am just a little more like-minded with lex. He always asks the questions I have for the guests. Lex, I know you read the comments. I'm half drunk so forgive my sloppy post but I fucking love you man, you are like the "perfect best friend". I have great people in my life but you have never said or done anything of any significance that I disagree with. Same goes for Duncan. The RZA episode was incredible as well, really helped me think about life/death in a new light. Your therapy session for Kanye really just exposed how big of a heart you have. He is such a sad case, you tried so hard to help him. I miss the old Kanye and I hope he can find peace somehow. People like you are my hope for the future of humanity and whatever type of AI being we birth. You are so humble it is hard for me to word this but you have saved my life man. I have been in some dark places. In 2010 I tested the "benzodiazepines rarely kill you by themselves" with .25g of phenazepam. I am here now and when I am lonely and start to go into dark places I watch your videos and it really helps a lot. I want to be like "have x person on" but that has to get annoying. I selfishly want to see a few specific comedians but you find amazing new people. You magically make a conversation with anyone incredible and get incredible guests for every pod. I will shut my drunk ass up now. Sorry for the book.
One of the greatest collabs ever. Cool Worlds is hands down one of the best space content on youtube.
@CoolWorlds and SEA (@sea_space) are tied first place for space content for me. Leagues deeper and more intellectual than even Astrum, Isaac Arthur etc.
Other GOOD space channels to watch (beside Cool Worlds) are: [Example: •Channel (Host)] •Star Talk (NDT) •Everyday Astronaut (Tim Dodd) •Ridddle •VSauce (Michael Stevens) •AstroKobi (Kobi Brown) •Physics Girl (Dianna Cowern) Just to name a few! 😎
@@Spectoral_on_SPOTIFY Don't forget Event Horizon by JMG.
@@TheOkieLife And Event Horizon!
History of the Universe has some tier 1 content as well. If you haven't had the pleasure and will forebear a stranger opining, I'd wager you wouldn't want your time back post consumption.
I’m so happy I found this!!! I owe Lex so much. He has enriched my life
I've got to say he's like the most watchable guy to listen to in terms of explaining science and the nuances on why certain fringe ideas don't hold enough water. This is one of the most enjoyable episodes of yours Lex. Thanks!
David Kipping is not just a charismatic youtube star, but a great scientist who truly understands what science is about, and whose career arc is going to be amazing, and who will change our understanding of astrophysics and planetary phenomena. Pretty much guaranteed.
Does he?
@@unbroken1010 Yes.
@@judyhart7628 doubt it
@@jayclarke6671 he a man's man. BLM thugs, Biden and Zelinsky would love him 🤣. Probably toss his salad 🥗 🤣
Hehehehehe ! What A Ding-Bat !
A 4-hour podcast to get through the weekend..... Lex lex lex what a savior
Lex lex lex on the track POW
4 Hours?? Oh.. I had Plans...
@@diraziz396 I had planned on eating out with my girl, but will tell her to wait until I finish watching the video.
@@User-jr7vf If she is the right one, she will understand and possibly ask to join you. 😁
@@jimpayne9545 🤣
Easily the most comprehensive and interesting astrophysicist I’ve heard on any podcast. Well done.
Bring him back more. He's amazing. So engaging. More engaging than watching a movie.❤
I can't put into words how excited I am to listen to this. Cool Worlds and Lex together at last.
I join you in your excitement
I'm so lucky I found this channel. Following Cool Worlds for some time.
Seeing two channels which you have been following separately collide is always exciting
YESSSS I’ve wanted Prof. Kipping on for ages! This is gonna be a GREAT episode. So exited. Thank you Lex.
Excited. Unless you really are into leaving
agreed!
Same here!
Same here. He’s great.
Same!
i have noticed falling asleep with lex's podcast whiel i sleep i can still hear them talk and no one never screams its so niceee! try it
Lex's podcast is my go-to to fall asleep to, also Sam Harris and Neil DeGrasse Tyson Sometimes Alan Watts
Omg, I love Prof Kipping and Cool Worlds!! Before even listening I know this is gonna be one of my fav episodes.
His channel is dope
David Kipping is probably the most touching, moving and personal storyteller I know on KZhead. His videos are the ones that have always filled my imagination the most. He's the creator whose latest video I'm most looking forward to. I have watched all of his videos, several times in the case of some. He is an important contributor to humanity. Thank you Lex for bringing together these incredible personalities, who will be part of future encyclopedias.
He's my bed time story teller. I go to sleep to his voice. 😴
I use his videos to fall asleep every night (after watching them already, of course) his voice is just so soothing
I also love the Cool Worlds videos. However, I must also credit 'melodysheep' for his wonderful, 'Life Beyond' 1, 2 and 3 videos. Very atmospheric videos.
100%
Melody Sheep's original songs with Sagan, Tyson etc are also really good
Please do more podcasts with astronomers. Mr Kipping is definitely one of the best guests you have had on the show
David Kipping is new to me. I awoke this afternoon to this episode playing. 'Hooked on space' is stuck in my semi conscious mind. I look forward to going through it, and eeking out more gems that most definitely lie therein. Thank you Lex and Mr. Kipping- what a dull simulation this would be without you both doing what you do so well.
What a treat David Kipping x Lex 2 of the most brilliant minds on this platform 👏 👌
David Kipping is most definitely up there. Lex is not. He is most definitely on the level of most of humanity. Extremely enthusiastic, openminded and very naive in a certain way, but that is what makes him amazing in his own. Not brilliant but definitely should be exemplary for how us mere mortals should conduct and challenge ourselves.
So brilliant he thinks climate change is the greatest threat to mankind. He's a book smart brainwashed go along to get along fool
.. hah oh please .. Lex believed in conspiracy theories .. a conspiratard .. he believed in the ever so silly 'US Govt and NASA's hiding information on extra-terrestrial alien'
@@finalfandy4766 so why are you here, watching his podcast?
@Bert Demeulemeester it's quite pathetic you feel the need to try and put someone down, the statement made is subjective so you are both correct, difference is you are being unnecessarily negative. Furthermore, Lex is brilliant.
I've been listening to Cool Worlds for years now. Great to see you guys have a conversation together.
I thought the thumbnail was lex with a beauty filter on
I've listened to this podcast 4x, just because I've had it on passively. David Kipping explains in such eloquent, and charismatic detail
What a breath of fresh air and hope. People such as Lex and David … represent humanity in its best form - so far from the devolution or stagnation of those in politics. I can genuinely say my weekend has improved significantly after watching this.
Sad but true and somehow hopeful comment. Thank you for your input and feedback.
Hear, hear!
This is unbelievable. Seeing my two favorite persons on the internet together is just.. wow.
Just read & see not a troll comment you see what a credible source of formation you provide
I would love another inteview with Kipping in the future!
Agreed. Just imagine the knowledge he will have in just another decade of research
Awesome conversation, thanks to you both 😊
The amount of things that had to go right for our world to exist is mind boggling! Everyday is a blessing!
When it comes to proteins which are part of our comosition, which came first? [ The protein | The nucleic code describing the protein | The mechanism that reads the code and assembles the protein ]
@@rustyyb8450 YHVH came first. His name was written in your DNA until you took your MRNA shots.

Your podcast is amazing. I’m so glad Joe helped introduce you to the world (or at least to me).
Well that was an unfortunate choice of word to use caps on lol. Should be " your podcast is AMAZING" no?
@@iluvatarchem that was an autocorrect thing lol
While Joe certainly helped, Lex has been around in his own right well before the Joe interactions.
I want to thank you for making all the videos that you made for the many hours that I learned from you. I really find you so valuable in this little life. I followed you for a number of years and I’ve never written to you before. Thank you for teaching me all that you have and I look forward to watching, whatever you’re able to give us thank you thank you thank you.
This may be your best podcast! Loved it! Thank you😊
It's easy, I see Lex Fridman + aliens, I play click. Nearly 4 hours of podcasting, count me in!
too bad this is all psuedoscience, anyone that believes we have rovers on mars has to be brainwashed.
Exactly
!!!! :)
💯
people replace religion with belief in extraterrestrials to satisfy their faith
Cool Worlds is the Shiznit!!! This guy's voice is so calming. Way to go Lex!!!
This guy makes complete sense
Thank you for adding subtitles for all us non - english - native speaking people :))))) I love having them for difficult terminology. Hate having to go over a segment 5x to understand the more difficult parts.
Lex you never seem to miss! Just when it seems you can't possibly keep getting incredible people for your podcast you prove to the world you can! Keep up the amazing work!
Next JRE
Professor Kipping, thank you for Cool Worlds Lab. Incredible work. You too, Lex!
UFOgate. - For 75 years, the US government has been lying to humanity. The real crash of an alien spacecraft with occupants occurred on July 2, 1947. It was a manned star spacecraft, not a UFO. Discoverer and contact holder since 01/17/95 Johann Zdebor - How many more decades does the Swedish Nobel Prize Committee want to keep my sensational discovery and my law of 01/17/95 secret from mankind? I completely unraveled the UFO phenomenon 28 years ago on 1/17/1995. Johann Zdebor
Dude... duuude, just speaking on the Milky-way, I find impossible to imagine we are alone in this galaxy ✌️
finally someone I do like to watch. no conspirqcy theories or undeserved popularity
It’s about time we got another epic episode on extraterrestrials. Thank you so much!
- Actually . . . I saw this interview as . . . largely . . . being " " A N T I -- -- E X T R A T E R E S T R I A L S " " . - - - Which is f i n e with me . - -
aliens dont exist in our lifetimes. just a replacement for classical religion. takes same amount of faith.
I’ve never been more excited for a podcast
Lex, I love your mind, your inquestiviness, your guests, I love your are miles better than Rogan. Keep on keeping on. I listen to you to my mundane construction job, and you are honestly keepong me from just cracking up. Big Love from Cork, Ireland 😊
This is probably the best episode of your show I've ever watched.
I really liked Kippings short lecture on why life might be extremely rare. You should definitely, definitely watch that lecture
Elvis "might" fly in here on a magic carpet
Such an inspiring and clever discussion. When Prof Kipping smiles you want to smile with him and you feel his excitement. An absolute pleasure to watch!
Life is all over the place.
Les sure does now have a fascinating catalogue of ultra well informed guests, who are generally so skilled communicators.
Fantastic! As always Ross has me listening with my jaw open. Great interview!!! I think a new episode of need to know will drop tomorrow. I can't wait!
I could fall asleep listening to Lex Fridman and David Kipping's voices every night.
Literally same.
Hes got one of the coolest youtube channels outhere. "Cool worlds" is his channel for anyone interested
One of your best podcasts that i have discovered 😊
I'm more concerned about nuclear weapons, AI & natural or man-made pandemics than climate change. AMEN LEX, that's exactly what I was thinking when he said it. Love the interview
Well this is definitely in the top 5 Lex Clips of all time, both very calm, calculated and intelligent
And you got some unsolicited financial advice for your troubles. However, I happen to agree with you, so have a thumbs up. If all human beings could sit thus and delve deep. We would solve many problems.
This isn’t the clip, it’s the whole damn podcast 😂
I looveeee this guy's pure logic based perspective on things. He constantly checks himself for biases and strives to view all through an open, yet critical mind that functions on what knowledge he does have to make the most logical decision about any situation. This man is a true scientist. I have this type of mentality, and it's kinda rare to see people like this.
Yes!! 'Brew MeUp; You hit upon the central-force of logic of Mr. Kipping. His understanding of FactCheck as he goes. His preaching caution and double checking the 'facts'-of-the-moment(ISM).
@@frankwillow-rogersjr.3253 LOL. He's delusional. He can prove nothing, it's just vain conjecture.
This is what science should be... Not what we experienced in 2020-2022 covid phase... "you should just believe what we say with no skepticism allowed". Sure, most trying to just do the right thing... But the "listen to the science" people when science was extremely limited were off base and I hope they all learned a huge lesson on what science really is. Skepticism is welcome and not to be shamed, try to proce it wrong so that the science is sound, and invite different perspectives
@@dhans7673 The real red-pill is when you realize that they weren't wrong, they were lying.
not sure how logical it is to conclude all these things from 1 pixel.... True science begins with receiving a love of the truth and coming to a knowledge of the truth requires an examination of all the "knowledge" on a subject... God has revealed Himself in His creation and His purpose in His Word. It is worth your time to read the Bible for yourself and learn about the only Creator mankind has on record speaking to mankind in the first person. God has given us a gift of reconciliation to Him by faith in Jesus, not astronomy... spend some time learning about Jesus through His Word, reading it for yourself.... it is worth it.
Although I didn't understand all he spoke of, this conversation is fascinating in how it starts with the difficulties in discovering big truths from minuscule measurements and arcs into big theories of possibility. Dr Kipping's process of critical thinking in an of itself is enlightening. The conversation in its entirety gives insight to the challenges the scientific community faces along with the human interpersonal challenges that make up its personality. Thank you BOTH for sharing your time and minds with us. I appreciate it.
Both of you are amazing! Thanks for this podcast
What an absolute gem of a human being. Love love the conversation about intellectual honesty, ego, assumptions, belief. I would not pick up a scientific paper unless my work required hiring an expert, so I thank you Lex for bringing in the people, the experts, to discuss their work. I'm so grateful for your podcast 😘
Lex is one of my best Friends without knowing him. This man enriches my Life experience on earth a lot. Specially enjoyed the Podcast with your dad.
Where is that episode?
Lex does not disappoint. The guests are amazing. These 2 have me picturing and imagining all kinds of hilarious sxenarios on my mind. Its good to see more relaxed and fun energy.
Just watched on UNIFYD. Many thanks to you both for doing the Disclosure series. From Prairieville, Louisiana
One minute you watch a new cool worlds episode and the next minute lex surprises you with a Prof. Kipping Interview. Thanks to both of you.
Thank you, very grounded conversation. I appreciate how this guy tempered Lex’s usual daydreams of aliens and space travel because most guests indulge him instead of being pragmatic
These dudes are dumb
Lex can get annoying with that sometimes
Grounded in bullshit and hyperbole.
It’s all a bunch of shit.
This was amazing to wake up to I’ve stayed in a state of wake while still being asleep enough to listen to you and your explanation of everything and honestly thank you. I thank KZhead and also this incredible interview, also your voice is soooooo soothing.
I have been watching your shows for a few months now, and I am now positive that myou have one of the best shows .... anywhere!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!
Yes my favorite KZhead people and a brand new conversation lasting 3 hrs 45 minutes jackpot!! Thank you both so much!
I’ve watched/listened to almost all of Lex Fridman (and the great eps, many many times). This one’s going on the Mount Rushmore…..David’s an amazing guy and has a great channel…incredible episode!
Needs taylor swift fot the quadruple.
This was a real joy to listen to. The depth and with of subjects really help with that all important perspective, thank you both so much! A thought that struck me during the simulation part regarding the necessarily lower resolution of subsequent simulations; would this not be a viable explanation for quantization? xD
Probably my two favourite broadcasts on KZhead ~ thank you
The day I never thought would arrive is finally here. A union between the person I wake up to interviewing the person I fall asleep to. Thank you so much for this, Lex. It took you long enough!
Great comment!!

I thought I was the only one. I fall asleep to Professor Kipping as well.
No way, same!
I love Lex's alien life and biology podcasts! They are simply the best. Thankyou Lex, from Leicester UK
The best episode I've listened to in a long time, some great talking points and ideas.
This was a wonderful interview. Lex as usual did an excellent job with a very informative interview. I am a supporter on Patreon of Lex for this exact type interview. Awesome Lex!
Thank god. You have no idea how much I needed an episode like this. Away from culture/religion (not that that’s bad). I feel like these open my eyes wider. Thanks Lex
Never watched the podcast but when I saw you had David Kipping on I had to watch. Great convo, and I'm happy you are able to introduce him to a wider audience. He's an inspiration.
Two Brilliant men. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Thank you both so much for sharing this amazing, insightful, thought provoking conversation. Keep up the great work! 👍❤️🙏
This bloke’s fantastic. So so happy he’s on the podcast Lex.
Thanks for inviting professor Kipping. His take on alien life and colonization of Mars in particular, among others, exactly matches mine. I have huge respect for people that love what they do and can talk about it in such an engaging and passionate way. I wish I could have a conversation like this with him.
There are already colonies on Mars (from Earth). Secret Space Programs are very real!
Dang ,thank you for having David on your podcast.
Yes, he is the most interesting guest I've seen so far, and that is saying a lot, given all the excellent people you've had on.
David's eloquent command of the english language for his explanations of concepts is very inspiring! Fascinating interview!
Lex, you are the best. Your graciousness, quality of content, knowledge, and spirit. Hands down, magnificent! Thank you.
This was an outstanding interview!!❤
Please do more podcasts with astronomers. This is a very interesting field because its something not a lot of people have knowledge on
Lex, I am really loving the graphics that you are adding over parts of the conversation. These animations really help the technical material become intuitive to those who do not have a background in the field.
Thanks Lex for bringing Cool Worlds into the limelight Cool worlds is... cool
Amazing truly amazimg
Always for me when speaking on "Life" it's possibilities and probabilities, here and beyond .. The one thing that sits itself down smack dab in the middle I in all-ways is CONCIOUSNESS itself, where meaning is kept, held, found, known!!! I enjoyed the conversation .. thanks guys💖
One of the best pods out there
God bless you and your work Lex. Rarely came across questions that are so interestingly in-depth with a conversation so properly extended, fulfilling and soothing. My body is asleep but my mind is much more stimulated than it was at the gym.

Glad that Prof. Kipping was on. But which part of Lex's question at 1:28:00 is worth the CO2 expended? Lex is one of the worst interviewers there is.
Kipping is so great and so is his channel. What a great combo lex and cool world's bravo. By the way both are great to listen to whenever insomnia is kicking my ass.
There are planets at Barnard's star, look again. There's a habitable and likely inhabited planet there.
Thought provoking, really enjoyed these two picking each other's minds.❤
I had made a comment on one of Cool World's videos 8 months ago that I would absolutely love an interview of David on your podcast, that David actually reacted to, and to see it happen is amazing. What a wonderful and thoughtful conversation. I hope he returns to the podcast in the future.
- If // when David returns . . . hopefully he ' ll loosen - up a bit . He seemed kinda stiff // tense . However 2 M views in approx. 2 weeks . . . - . . . not tooo shabby . . . at all . -
Can it get any better? Lex Fridman + David Kipping = Perfect Podcast.
Thank you Fridman. Brilliant! Quite fascinating! And just ‘out of this world’! 🌺 🌺
I love David and his videos. Excited about watching this one.
