Thank you so much for sharing these fantastic Podcasts. I have been marathoning these episodes all day today and yesterday while I work.

[@letsif]

This was an extremely uplifting podcast with a man who has one of the best jobs in the universe.

[@spnhm34]

When two people so deeply embedded in their own fields have the fluency to talk like this in general terms it’s a gift.

[@bimmergeezer]

Dr. Krauss, the scope of your intellect has amazed you for years. I thank you so very much for sharing yourself with all of us. Please keep on educating us.

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

"Dr. Krauss, the scope of your intellect has amazed you for years." Freudian slip?

[@lucyaklar6345]

I am so glad that Alan Stern did not constantly interrupt Lawrence like Neil degrasse Tyson (NDT). This was such a relief after watching obnoxious and arrogant NDT.

[@Dumrikk]

Agreed! He did plug his book every minute though, but that is nothing compared to the Neil-show..

[@mitchkahle314]

Pluto is a planet - No doubt!

[@AnwarHossain-gx8mf]

Historical injustice to Pluto! We should bring back our youngest family member.

[@woody7652]

Great podcast, tyvm!

[@dwayneduval6785]

Great stuff! I only wish this podcast had come out on the heels of the headlines about New Horizons when it was all abuzz for the general public. I have been waiting for this for a long time. It did not disappoint.

[@Rob81k]

I don't get the bickering. Pluto is a planet, more specifically, a dwarf planet because it is small. "Dwarf" is just an adjective giving us some extra information about the object. "It's no longer a planet" is just not right. Like a dwarf star is still a star a dwarf planet is still a planet, just a small one...

[@Jellyman1129]

This guy gets it! 👌🏻💯

[@Damian-qu2fg]

Super stuff

[@alexwex123456789]

Woah chemist here. I care way more about UV/Vis Spectroscopy

[@irrefudiate]

I would just like to relieve Dr. Krouse of his anxiety about Humans in planetary space. One of the big projects Musk is working on is artificial intelligence. The first planet targeted for colonization is Mars. But, that will be preceded by robots who will build the infrastructure to support human life.

[@choopsk6734]

How far away from our sun do we need to be to reach absolute zero?

[@karagi101]

CHOOPS K The cosmic background radiation from the Big Bang fills the universe. This radiation is 2.7 degrees Celsius above absolute zero. We can reach colder temperatures in our laboratories but it’s impossible to reach absolute zero.

[@choopsk6734]

@@karagi101Interesting! Thanks for your time and answer. Something new for me to learn about.

[@dwayneduval6785]

Not very far. There are many labs that maintain those temperatures as we speak.

[@mehdibaghbadran3182]

Quantum mechanics is working, as I explained we have got star’s in our brains

[@derdagian1]

It sure would help me to have a party where people say, Hi, I’m Coaster! You sure kicked Krauss’s a$$.And Krauss says, “Duane sure did kick your a$$, Sean! “. “Shut up, Kermit, he has you in a Saturday Night Ride FOR TWELVE YEARS! Hahahaha

[@petermullen3102]

So... I'll admit... I am only 10 minutes or so in... but did he say anything that was large enough to make itself a sphere is a planet? Then he said they did not have to be the dominant gravitational object? What about moons? I'm not hearing anything in that definition that precludes moons from being planets... If you say they have to orbit a sun... cool... but they did not. Did I miss something there?

[@karagi101]

Peter Mullen He didn’t spell out all the criteria for planet-hood.

[@alasdairwhyte6616]

what about they have their barycentre within its body?

[@danielgonzaleznader7387]

Is this the same guy that said " there is NO evidence for the multiverse"???

[@mehdibaghbadran3182]

I never said that don’t remember any names, which you can find them by a little search in media

[@mehdibaghbadran3182]

Hi

[@Prof_Tickles92]

Let’s be realistic, could life really exist in those subsurface oceans? Conventional wisdom tells us that the source of heating would be in the form of geothermal vents. Now these oceans are estimated to be 2-5 times as deep as the pacific. Life would want to go where it’s warm, and form where it’s warm, aka around the vents. But very few forms of life can withstand the water pressure at the deepest point of the pacific, so I doubt anything could survive that much pressure in those oceans. It would be too cold for life to accumulate closer to the surface.

[@andrewpickering5180]

Still so relevant today, could he be psychic 🔮🤔 ( see irony).

[@ashhamilton3989]

Massive.

[@terrywbreedlove]

You are sitting three feet across from each other. So why the headphones.

[@tehklevster]

It's how studio things work. Audio balance, volume etc.

[@dwayneduval6785]

You heard every word clearly. That is why. Lots of other podcasts are inaudible. Lawrence pays attention to detail...

[@johnrussel4483]

I guess we are not using the good type of robot, let’s play it Asimov’s way and send androïds robots ! They should realize all the tasks humans would do in at least the same time!

[@initialsGS]

Thought you said “Howard Stern”....I thought oh yes....

[@dabuttare363]

I like Lawrence but he just doesn’t know how to shut up and let the interviewee talk … lost case

[@wanderkunstler]

What is this? These guys only talk about themselves and how great they are. Obviously L. Krauss has gotten the help of some of his academic friends to help him shore up his halted career. This is not interesting for those of us without tenure, Lar!

[@dwayneduval6785]

Let's put you in his place.... ok, now how do you proceed to discuss the topic? From your own perspective of course.... He is a theoretical physicist, so obviously he speaks from that experience as a reference point. Listen to all the science and let your mind be open. It was enlightening and inspirational.

[@dwayneduval6785]

From this one paragraph I can tell why he has friends willing to support him and why you are actibg like an angry troll. I hope I am wrong, but probability does not support that I fear.

[@yusufziyacetin]

Dr. Alan Stern iman Allah bless you

[@bundleofperceptions1397]

I refuse to take anyone who makes childish arguments seriously, and those arguments about Pluto's planetary status were extremely childish.
