Does Planet Nine Exist? Featuring Dr. Konstantin Batygin

An exploration into the concept that a ninth, undiscovered planet may lurk in the outer solar system. We speak with Dr. Konstanin Batygin on the search for planet 9, and how he and his partner Mike Brown might discover it within only the next year or two.

We spoke with Event Horizon Telescope team member Dr. Feryal Ozel about the First Image of a Black Hole: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ukeIqkrqt6aqs

Event Horizon pretty cool that you got your own telescope team!!!

[@whitetrashbandit2704]

Your mother raised a very wise and intelligent man. And we are all very greatly thankful for that.

It all started with hunting fossils and rocks with my mom when I was a kid :)

@@JohnMichaelGodier The Grief will come, as it does, and it will pass... So slowly, but it will pass. You'll have moments which tear the pain out, fresh and raw from your heart, but in time, those moments are shorter and farther apart and they begin to have the tinting of memories of good times and shared adventures. One day you'll have a moment which ends in a sigh and a smile and you'll realize you'll be OK. You'll begin to realize that all that grief came about because of how wonderful that person was, and how fortunate you are to have known them.

I know this was uploaded close to a year ago, but I would like to say that I am sorry for your loss, John. It is something that I think about every now and then, and each time I wish I could press a reset button and go back to when I was born and live these 26 years all over again with my family. I hope you have found healing, peace, and know you were/still are loved so very much. What better way to attest to that than your channels and books. Your respect for those around you as well as the respect for your viewers and yourself. Your absolutely stellar work ethic and drive to do something you love and are so compassionate about. Everything you do is a great way to reflect how much you were loved by your folks and the way they raised such an awesome son. You were loved and respected and were allowed to let your mind wander between fact and fiction, giving you the skills and tools you needed to pursue what you loved. Thank you for all that you do, for the lessons I've learned from your videos and interviews, and I hope nothing but the best for you John.

It would be scary to think if Nibiru was always hidden by the sun or moon in our solar system. That it has such an odd pattern that it swaps paths during eclipses.

The downside of being software is that you become limited to the hardware, power outages, viruses, etc. A cyborg can at least move or escape impending doom. Though I suppose if you're a Ghost in the Shell, you can move from body to body. Good luck finding that tech any time soon.

[@2013Arcturus]

@Lucas because it's the name of a hidden giant planet that supposedly creates cataclysmic world events every 12000 years, that the Babylonians supposedly wrote about. People who are into the ancient aliens theory know all about it. I don't really believe in the theory, but if we find another huge planet in the far reaches of the solar system that's pretty much Nibiru.
