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.

[@ChrisBarringer]

❤😮 ❤The first

[@cluisdotorg]

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!

[@kringkingen]

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.

[@cosmocookiemonster]

Such of fascinating episode! It just takes you beyond imagination.

[@CoolWorldsLab]

Thanks for having me on Lex, and for such a deep and thoughtful discussion.

[@TheOkieLife]

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. 😎

[@carlodave9]

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

[@SeanRyno]

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.

[@Andreas_Franklin]

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

[@nellkellino-miller7673]

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.

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.

[@turtledunkknucklebaby8089]

Easily the most comprehensive and interesting astrophysicist I’ve heard on any podcast. Well done.

[@Imhalfamazing2U]

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.

[@simply-anonymous]

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

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

Im 46 and I love KZbin, 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 KZbin 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.

[@samuilife8557]

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 😊

[@ianclarke3627]

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 .

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.

[@kloug2006]

David Kipping is probably the most touching, moving and personal storyteller I know on KZbin. 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.

Skepticism is welcome and not to be shamed, try to proce it wrong so that the science is sound, and invite different perspectives

[@inTruthbyGrace]

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.

Hat down to you professor Kipping for the coherent knowledge you share so effortlessly with us, massive respect to you for the time well spent.

[@manwiththeredface7821]

The crossover I did not expect. And close to 4 hours. This is going to be good.

[@lisamuir4261]

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.

[@CVCDAVE]

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!

[@unbroken1010]

Life is all over the place.

[@SzTz100]

Oh my god, I love professor Kipping.

[@mikeellchuk3787]

freaking love him too hes awesome

[@darksu6947]

I love him more! He's mine! Lol

[@reddchan]

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

[@GilfHunter1969]

These dudes are dumb

[@dangolfishin]

Lex can get annoying with that sometimes

[@mattheworlando5908]

Grounded in bullshit and hyperbole.

[@mattheworlando5908]

It’s all a bunch of shit.

[@dimaclayman2393]

Dang ,thank you for having David on your podcast.

[@shawnhughes8478]

Been on a binge of cool worlds videos lately what an unexpected and awesome collaboration.

[@bladej7688]

Cool Worlds is an Amazing KZbin channel that professor Kipping runs. Great storytelling, along with high-level astrophysics and astronomy.

[@latand]

That podcast is mind blowing, I love these conversations! I have just recently discovered David’s channel and now you having him as a guest, wow 🤩

[@raybo780]

It’s why coolworlds is such a great channel, it’s a scientific approach to really fantastical questions, and paradoxically this actually improves my wonder and hope

[@latand]

@@raybo780 totally agree

[@eddieheron1939]

Les sure does now have a fascinating catalogue of ultra well informed guests, who are generally so skilled communicators.

[@Dan-mm1yl]

This guy is coherent and evidence based doesn't get sidetracked with fanciful theories

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

I've been watching Professor Kipping for a couple years now on the Cool Worlds channel and have known of him for much longer than that and he is one hell of an awesome guy.

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

These are the guests we look forward to.

[@peteroliver7975]

One of the best interviews I have ever heard anywhere

[@jbernard4673]

I've been watching Lex for years, and I've been watching Cool World Lab for just a few days now. Only realized it was the same guy at the end when you mentioned his channel! This one was amazing!

[@tomjjackson21]

Ah man.. I was just getting ready for bed, and I see that Lex hosted my man crush, Kipping. Well, looks like I'll be up for a while. Seriously, I find David absolutely fascinating, given this man is literally in the frontier of his field. I'm a no one, citizen scientist, with a graduate degree in astronomy. I purposely go out of my way to find David's work; exoplanet exploration, whenever new data is released for us normie, citizen scientists to pour through. Plus *"Cool Worlds"* is my favorite channel on this platform. Sorry Lex, but Dave is our boo.

[@joneseysj]

Nearly 4 hrs of discussions with David kipping 🥳 Christmas has come early, David is awsome

[@JenniferMarieGoddenSpace]

Just wanted to say thank you for enriching my mind. You both are two of the brightest minds that I am incredibly grateful for

[@cabanford]

Two of the very best minds on these Intertubes! Thanks guys ❤️

[@flamethrower40]

Kipping is my favorite in this particular genre. He's awesome af.

[@oliverchapman51177]

What a channel. One of the few i don’t even bother to fact check. Dr, thank you for all the wonderful info

[@DanielM8675309]

Lex Fridman did film this episode in a holiday Inn express last night.

[@indianasb59]

Yes!! But before the interview they wrestled a sword fight. But neither brought a brush to use before the interview.

[@notyouraveragegoldenpotato]

I was re-watching the rover landing yesterday. It really was absolutely insane. Orbit>atmosphere, use atmosphere to bleed off significant velocity, blow heat sheild, IR/Radar/camera spot landing zone, calculate and choose best landing zone, deploy supersonic parachute, float down, sky crane engage thrusters and lower the rover to the surface while maintaining altitude, deploy rover and then fly as far away as fuel will take it. Absolutely brilliant engineering

[@silkyjohnson8785]

Best convo yet Lex, and you Mr Kipling. That’s saying something considering the amazing individuals you talk to on the reg

[@HeedfulGibbon]

To be honest… Lex Fridman… you are typically unimpressed, instigating, out to downplay, with hutzpa 😂 but I enjoy seeing you genuinely interested and opening yourself up to what the guest is saying

[@FlawzyOSRS]

i cannot express how long i have been waiting for david to get on your podcast. absolutely thrilled.

Glad I’m not the only one who goes to sleep watching something and wake up to 1 hour into one of this guys videos 😂😂
